Would be the popular models would have 36 month financing and the less popular models would be for 60 months. Those dollars have to come from somewhere.

but they're probably offer a 1.9% since their vault is not as big as yota's, and honda's cars are better. So 1.9% is low enough to prod more people into their showroom.

I was in the market for a car but am waiting now until the dust settles a bit. I have excellent credit, paid off house and was preappoved at my bank  5.25%(big whoop). I am going to hold off for month or 2 to see what happens. I figure the dealers will be desperate to sell there inventories and you should be able to get a great deal. When I was going around to dealerships test driving, just about every car had to be jumped off due to dead battery. So, the cars had been there a while and not been cranked for a while. I have noticed cars sitting on lots for months around here. I am in South Carolina. You should be able to write your own deal pretty much. If not, they can sit on the lot until they rust away for all I care.

Replying to: tns1 (Oct 03, 2008 7:12 am) I'm friends with several people at import stores, and they're saying sales are WAY down. I guess most people in the midwest feel the need to support domestic brands when the economy looks like its going to sh*t...even though most "imports" are actually assembled here in the states.
