I hope I'm not breaking some kind of rule here and not sure if this will even work but worth a try. http://rides.webshots.com/album/570741185XOUgIu

I got an oil change at my local Honda dealership (Steven's Creek Honda, Sunnyvale CA) last tuesday (4/22) so I could get a look and test drive the Insights. They weren't there, but were scheduled to arrive at any moment. I got a call the next day that they had arrived and I dropped by after work. Unfortunately, they were being prep'ed and weren't ready for the road. I came back on Thursday after work and finally got my test drive. It felt a bit weird when compared to my V6 Accord EX, but I liked it. I had a few gripes, but I figure I'd buy it. The MSRP was $23.7k for the EX w/navi (the only one they had) so I offered $23k cash. Unfortunately, Steven's Creek Honda was getting around Honda's MSRP by installing a lot of accessories (mud flaps, side trim, wheel locks, trunk liner, aero kit) in order to jack up the price. The sales guy wanted to make a deal and got them to hold off on the aerokit, but the dealership managers weren't budging on MSRP. I was ready to deal, but they weren't ($50 off, seriously?). There was no way I was going to pay MSRP when just about everything under the sun was at invoice or thousands below. I told the people that I was going to buy an Audi A4, Acura RDX, or Insight before the end of the month so it was their chance to sell me the Insight. They were BS'ing me about other dealerships jacking up MSRP so I walked and bought a fully-loaded 2009 Acura RDX tonight. |

Replying to: dodgeman07 (Mar 29, 2009 11:34 am) Here is a link to the Oregon DOJ website, that pretty well sums up the three-day contract rules... It is only applicable to Oregon, but I think you'll find it applies to almost every other state. 3-day Right of Rescission A short summation, for those that don't want to follow the link. The "three day right of rescission" is also referred to as the "cooling off rule." It is a popular misconception that consumers have this right for most purchases. In fact, it is the exception, rather than the norm. Typically, the only time you will get a three day right of rescission is for a home solicitation, also known as a "door to door sale." There are a few other times you may be able to rescind an agreement within three days, such as with a home mortgage, but usually, if you buy something, it is yours. There is no "cooling off period" for the purchase of a motor vehicle. There is no "cooling off period" for the purchase of a good, just because it is really expensive or you decide you made a mistake in buying it. There is no "cooling off period" if you buy something from a telemarketer. Of course, if fraud has been committed, there are legal remedies. But, most disputes over car deals generally come from the buyer not understanding the contract. Leasing is complicated, and gives sellers many opportunities for "hidden profit", but that doesn't make it illegal. Unethical, perhaps. My main point is: Don't expect to be able to return a vehicle that you've taken delivery of. There is no legal right to do so, in the great majority of cases. regards, kyfdx |

Replying to: dodgeman07 (Mar 29, 2009 7:41 pm) Yes, it's an EX. I don't go many places so no Navi. I got Navi on my 2009 Fit Sport only so I could get stability control. Stability Control comes with the EX on the Insight. I need all the stability control I can get.  Don |

Replying to: vagabondchef (Mar 25, 2009 4:51 pm) When does the gutted 2009 Prius go on sale? Will it be the same date as the 2010? Danny |

| Had a great test drive of Honda Insight EX today. Scott Honda in Westchester PA quoted the Edmonds price of $21,970 w/destination so I bought it. Red car on boat for delivery late June. Nice styling - very nice on/off highway performance. Noticed gas prices jumped 20 cents a gallon last week. Sadly thought that GM was thinking Hummers when Honda engineers developed the Insight. | |
| Had mine for a little while now and am enjoying it. It's a very attractive car in the red pearl (my car's color). Still getting used to a few quirky hybrid things like the car goes no-where when it's backed out of the garage and put in Drive, braking still feels slightly weird at the end of a stop, steering is much "wider/slower" than my Fit but overall I like it! Taxes will go up a lot & soon, gas IS going up to who knows how much a gallon, we're all on the Titanic; you made a good decision in my humble opinion. No Obama voter here, with the money you save on gas, buy home invasion weapons like The Judge before you can't! | |
