Honda Trying To Rape Me.

[NJFitFreak]

Looked into trading in my 2007 2door civic for a fit. My civic is a year old and only has 12k miles on. For one they tryed to give me only 10k for the car right then and there i knew it was not going to be a fun day at the dealer. Then to top it off they wanted my payment to be 30bucks more for the fit then my civic. So then i looked at there used civics same as mine with more miles on then mine and they are selling them for 15k witch is one grand less then what i payed. All i wanted was a wash and to take over payments for the fit.. Well im starting to think honda is not going to let that fly.. The best was when the saleman told me to think about leasing a fit.. Thats when i got out of the chair and walked out.. Who even thinks about leasing a car like the fit.. ??? If im going to leas its going to be bmw or somthing i cant buy..

They don't call them stealerships for nothing. They're in this business to make money. Go figure. If you're serious about getting a Fit you should sell your car on your own. Craigslist, Ebay and the local paper are all tools I've used in the past with much success.

+1 Trade in is always a last resort. If you have the time and patience, sell it yourself. Dealership wanted to give me $400 for my old Integra. Took a few months but I eventually got $2K for it.

There is only two answers for this and every other car;

Suckers and business owners who can write off the payments.
