I dread buying one also, all the games they play. I just want to know what it costs and you can't pay sticker or get took, and try to get it down. Generally if you add all the numbers up afterwards you find they just shift them around. They will get what they want for it no matter what. Isn't that the truth!!! If at all possible, I try to buy from a private party for this very reason. Why don't you try internet buying? I just bought a car in february. Requested quotes from dealers and then had the dealer I wanted to work with match the best quote that I got (which was below what Edmunds said was the price I should expect to pay). Also got 4 free oil changes thrown in. I also bought my previous car this way. No haggling, no hassle. I'm interested. Did you email the dealers? Or was there a website to start with? |

When we first started talking about getting our new car, we talked about selling our Accord. I told my husband that aside from the Accord, every other car we had ever bought was older, more beat-up and had more miles on it than the one he wanted to sell. Why would we do that?

wodehouse,
It's been a couple of years now since we bought the "new to us" minivan. The smell is all gone.
That said, my daughter is going to need a car. So, we're going to have to start shopping. She might inherit one of our cars, so we got to get a new one for one of us.
