| Post subject: | New Car Shopping |
Just spent the last few hours looking for a new car. I have a 2007 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport V6 with 57000 miles. I have no use for the truck and going to trade it in. Went to a Honda dealership and they were willing to trade the truck for a brand new Honda Fit +$2,500 to seal the deal. Said OK but they didn't have the color car I wanted. Put down a deposit and was ready to wait 4 weeks for the car to come in. Get a call when I get home and they say that the Honda doesn't come in the color that I want for the model that I want. I have a couple questions here. I the initial deal a good one? They were originally asking for the trade in +$4,800 to do the deal. Should I walk away and try to find a better deal elsewhere? |

Sell your truck at Carmax. Then go shop for a car. |

When I get a car color is secondary to price. If you love your deal take a diff color. Or wait for Carmax to help you decide. They will sell you the car next week too. Calm is key in car purchases. |

Calm is key in car purchases. I think the price can be pushed a little lower if I take a car in a different color. What have other people's experiences been? |

You should shop at 2-3 other places as well, and buy toward the end of the month after price shopping now. |

If you want a simple A to B car than buying new is a rely poor decision. But woman gets what woman wants. |

I guess it's encouraging that no one is saying we're getting fucked in this deal. |

I've always gotten great deals by looking for relatively new vehicles that were traded in to dealers that don't sell that brand of vehicle. For example, I got my Nissan truck as 1 year old at a Honda Dealer, and I paid well below market for it. They just wanted to get rid of it. But yeah, all of our advice will be bad and not really pertinent to your situation. |

The more I think about it the more I think this is a bad deal. I think $1000 would be a fair deal, shit even a straight up trade. Trade in value according to Kelly is around $17,000. That's for a 4WD Tacamoa 4-Door Pre-Sport in good condition. Going to Carmax in the morning. |

A least when you buy new you know it's not been beat to shit and neglected. I know a whole shit ton of people are more than happy to dump their problems on someone else. Buying a program car or a demo is terrible. The people that drive those beat the living crap out of them and certainly do no maintenance. |

Honda Fit is a great subcompact. No, forget that, a great car. Ignore these folks that know nothing. |
