[net.auto] Honda Accord recomendations or complaints?

guy@sdcc12.UUCP (Guy A. Lewis) (05/03/85)

  My wife and I are considering the purchase of a honda accord ( sedan
  or LX ) in the near future. I would be interested in hearing
  coments/experiences good or bad with either of these cars. And for
  those who own these do you feel that the added expence of buying the
  LX over the sedan is worth the price. ( a difference of about $2000 )

  Please send mail to me as I am not a regular reader of this group.

			      Thanks in advance,

I recently bought an Accord 4 Dr (my second Accord). The New Jersey dealer
attempted to add on $1000 to the sticker price of $10,400, including a 6 week
wait. Add-ons of $2000+ are common for Preludes. After telling the dealer
that I was serious about buying a car, and preferably a Honda, but was
adamently opposed to extra markups I was told "Sorry, but thats our policy."
Two days later the price dropped by $500. Five days later the price 
dropped $500 more and one miraculously appeared on the showroom floor
that "a customer could not get financing on." The only catch-- it had to
be off the books by the end of the month.  When I picked up the car the  
saleslady gave me a stack of business cards to pass out to prospective customers

and offered to send me $25 for each sale she made as a result of my recommenda-
tion.  Shortage of cars? Be firm, polite, and take your time, $10,000 is
a lot of bread.
Ever consider a Saab? Check out what $12,400 will buy. No hassle, competent 
dealer, no markup and twice the car, + 33mpg on trips, 28000 flawless miles!
