Color?

[asterroc]

So tomorrow I'm going to first go to a Bank of America and get a loan approval. Then I'm going to a Honda dealer w/ the loan in hand and say, "#1 what is the price of the car (Civic EX); #2 I have a loan in my hand, can you do better?" But the biggest question remains unsettled: what color?

I wouldn't tell the Honda people that you have a loan until you're finished bartering. Banks give kickbacks to car dealerships, so the dealership might give a little on the price if they think they can get that money back from the bank that they are hoping to set you up with. Of course, the dealership might be able to get you a supersweet interest rate, so it's worth hearing what they have to offer (they gave me 1%, which is awesome).

Honda Civics, yay! The horn in my 2003 Civic is much wimpier than the horn in my 1990 Civic, though. How unfortunate. As for color, I couldn't help but choose red. :)

Best of luck!

Ugh. Stupid stupid stupid that prices are tied to loans. *grr!* My dad got a quote slightly cheaper than web prices from another dealer, but it was at a 9% loan!!! BoA has approved me for a 6.14% loan, so that's my current plan. If the dealer dicks me around, I'll walk out, I've got a list of nearby dealers I'll work my way through if I have to.

How much of your soul did you give them for the 1% rate?! Speaking of which, have you seen Pirates yet? ;)

The red isn't really red red, it's burgandy or something. :-\ And any horn that doesn't honk in right turns is good by me! It wierded me out when Mom's car didn't do that.
