Replying to: nastacio (Oct 13, 2008 5:17 am) issues with sitting out on the lot? only one comes to mind.... a possible dead battery that needs a jump. $10K? that is going to be some negotiation. i disagree... I have had numerous offers from dealers for $10k off msrp on remaining 08's. This may vary regionally, and by dealer, but this offer required NO negotiation. I guess they will only be that desperate by November, when the 09s start to roll in ummm.... 09's have been on the lot now for about a month or more! And yes, the same dealer(s) who offered $10k off 08's were/are also offering incentives on the 09's.

Replying to: derrickson (Oct 13, 2008 6:39 am) That is curious, because this dealer no only didn't have *any* 09's in stock, but the 08's were all from April and May. Can a dealer put a stop on new arrivals of a certain model? I know they all come by sea from Japan, so I guess it would make sense. As for the issues with car sitting on the parking lot, I did more research and some car magazines pointed the dead battery you mentioned, which may need a replacement after so many months (long periods of discharge tend to ruin batteries). They also mentioned "squared off" tires and the problem of "dried up" tires on the inside because the rubber is not flexed by regular usage. The other thing that comes to mind is oil change, since motor oil is supposed to expire by mileage or time, usually six months. Battery and oil changes are minor, but the 20" tires on a GT cost about $1K a set, that is the part that worries me the most. I believe the paint comes with some sort of protective thick coating, not so much with the insulation in the door guards and the internal surfaces baking in the sun. I'll go for the $10K and see what happens.

Replying to: nastacio (Oct 13, 2008 7:00 am) Flat spotting is less an issue since most vehicles came over-inflated to >40 psi. Tires can last more than 6 years before rubber starts to show cracks. I would ask for an free oil change (before delivery) if it has been sitting for more than 6 months in the lot.

I am in the market right now and have received quotes from multiple dealerships. I want the 0% APR financing deal and I was wondering if anyone else in Houston area has any information. This is what they offered. $4250 or 0% APR

A local dealer is offering $7000 off 2008 CX-9s. Is it a big enough price cut to buy a 2008 when the 2009s are out? Will it hurt in the long run?

Replying to: melmommy4 (Oct 14, 2008 5:15 pm) A new car loses around 15-20% of its value in its first year, which makes the same kind of discount almost mandatory on 08 models versus their 09 counterparts. If you plan on driving it to the ground or stay with it for more than 3 years, the 08 with that kind of discount seems a much better deal; by 2011 the price difference between the two will be probably less than 3K If I planned on keeping it for 2-3 years only, I would go for a lease, assuming one can still get one. That is all assuming there are no incentives for the 09s, which is probably not the case. |
