Rather glad Dad DID go with me since apparently the salesman were out to sell a car without making a deal and pretty much Dad made them talk to him and not me since you could see the Toyota dealer in particular thought he could manipulate me.
It was an odd fusion between Toyota and Ford which was cool since I wanted to see the Focus and the Corolla. thanks to cash for clunkers he had exactly ONE Corolla left. I drove it around. It was nice but the seat hit me oddly, still, nice car. The Focus (which he didnt' offer to let me drive) looked nice too but I think at that point he didn't like us giving a few orders (like no, you do the money paperwork now so we can talk...)
Basically he wouldn't budge off the MSRP rate and while I expected to be lowballed on my car, it was really low. His stance, thanks to cash for clunkers he KNOWS he'll sell that car even if was over MSRP (like they do in pittsburgh he kept telling us). And I said find, you do that, just not to me.
I figured Honda would be the same and resigned myself to holding onto Yukio awhile longer. But we did stop just so I could test drive it. It's more comfortable than the Corolla, it's digital dash was actually very flashy and cool and it DIDN"T have the super package of electronic gadgets so that was good. It's larger than my Civic and this guy gave us Kelly blue book on my little old Yukio so the more expensive Civic came to me for 2 grand less than Corolla.
Heck I even got the 3.9% apr for4 years instead of five and it's under 300$/month.
I'm pleased. I told Yukio to go make someone else happy now and brought the new boy home.If it ever stops raining I'll take pictures
also my excited user pic is Riza driving...
