Read it and weep!
Dow 16,171 -357
We running to the banks?
Not me, just waiting on the correct buying opportunity.
I'm an optimist, so I can't sell... I believe the financial term for that would be dumbass.
Morning Dad, post us a picture of that new car!
We left a message for a recommended Honda salesman to have called us last Friday morning, my wife's only day off for car shopping. We sat at home waiting for him to call, but he never did. I'm not sure if he got the message or not..? I also wanted to wait another week hoping there would be a Labor Day Sale. But so for, I only see Honda advertising their End of Summer Sale which is 0% financing, which we do not want. Again, I can't make up my mind. We like the Honda Civic EX for $19,210 True Car price (without sales tax, fees, etc.). But the Accord LX (Basic) is $19,546 (True Car). The Accord does not have the bells and whistles the Civic has, but it is bigger, better ride, more quiet, and has a larger engine without sacrificing much gas mileage over the Civic (almost the same gas mileage.) My wife wants the Civic because it's smaller, but I bet the Accord is nicer. The Civic is rated 50% over average on reliability (excellent), and the Accord is rated 40% above avg. My wife wants the most reliable car. We should be going again this Friday.
One thing I don't question is the reliability of Honda Cars relative to all other cars. Honda is really good stuff mechanically and the electronics.
Agreed there - personally, I would take the bigger car for safety reasons - I wouldn't feel very confident in a civic on an interstate or if I were to get into an accident. Did you check insurance prices between the two, just to make sure there isn't a huge discrepancy?
Our insurance company (Farmers) will not give out a quote with out the VIN # of the car. That sounds like a crock of shit to me thou. Since my wife's car is no longer running, we cancelled the insurance. They would not cancel it unless we signed a statement saying we sold the car..? Well, it is going to be sold to a junk yard. Consumers Report has an article on insurance companies. Per CR, "Do you know what the most expensive car insurance is..?" I'll give you a hint, "Flo is in their commercials." Least expensive car insurance, "USAA." I wanted to get a quote from USAA, but you have to enter your Soc. Sec. #, and I hate doing that. Per CR, your car insurance rates are not based on, M/F, age, location, tickets, dwi's, and wrecks, it's based on your credit score. In 2008-2009 when everyone was loosing their jobs, the States had to come in and put a temporary stop to using credit scores due to the increase of everyone car insurance. Only 4 or 5 states do not allow credit scores to be used to determine insurance rates.
