HELLO ALLLL!!!!
I AM NOW THE OWNER OF A HONDA ACCORD.
My experience.
Well first i went to my hometown of Salisbury, NC to get my vehicle. All the dealerships in Raleigh, NC wanted at least 32k OTD with my trade-in, in which i owed 3890. That was with the 08 EXL V6 no navigation. I went to my hometown where they had an awesome sale (www.gerrywoodhonda.com ). THe cost of the EXL V6 w/ navigation was 27,500 and with my trade-in and 500 down i financed 31,332. I got only 1200 for my trade in but i'm satisfied.
They tried to get me cuz they had a "typo" in the contract and they had me down for 72 months @ 595 and i said heck no. So they "fixed" it and changed it to 60 months @ 630. I said heck no, i'm not payin over 600. They worked some numbers and they got me 60 months @ 590, only 500 down, and 4.9% with honda financial.
They also tried to sell me the gap and extended warranty and some teflon protection. I declined all three. The sales manager tried to get slick and said, we got your payments @602 (this is prior to the 590 rate) and he said we can add gap insurance for $20 extra, i said no, then he said $15 extra, i said now, then $10 extra, i said no, then he said ok, i'll just throw it in your payment and it will remain 602. I said oh ok thats cool. Then i thought about it, i said to myself, he had already figured it in with the payment and played like 602 was the actual monthly note w/o gap. So when he pulls out the Gap coverage paper i needed to sign i said "so this coverage is free" and he was like ummm "they" rolled it into the 602 payment. I said i decline it and that should come off the total and he was like "yeah, let me adjust this to get it right." I said to myself, you slick SOB. lol... nonetheless all extra coverage was declined and i'll go thru my insurance company for gap and extended warranty (anyone know of any companies i should look into, i'm insured with geico). OH, and in addition, Gerrywoodhonda is the only dealer in the state that has a LIFETIME WARRANTY. As long as i do my scheduled maintenance, regardless if i get oil changes at honda or jiffy lube, and i keep my documentation they will replace transmission, engine, or any other major parts at no extra cost. Even if i drove it 300,000 miles and it needed a new transmission. Thats Awesome!!!
So I had a long, tiresome, but good DAY!! THANKS ALL
