Thanks for the holdback info. That's great information.

That's no joke.... my GF bought a 2005 with like 1000 miles on it or something and it's eating us.... She doesn't realize it and I'm not going to tell her but the car is already worth like 2 grand less than what her loan is.... and that's in 7 months time....

We recieved the lowest rate at the local c.u., but I heard Honda has a 3.9% rate which would be killer. The car is virtually loaded and she's happy. That's all I can ask for. She's not into much bling (on her car), but I'm gonna have to buy that Hybrid spoiler just to give it a little character.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, the car she wants was pretty difficult to find. I've only found one in Northern California and it was 95 miles away. So, it's being delivered to my sales company today for a fair price.

The odd thing about Honda dealerships in northern California is that they don't deal too much. In fact, I had agreed to a price via email and a voice mail from Vacaville and never got a call back. Told other dealerships the price we were offered and they said they would not match it.

I guess that 3.9 went away last week. Bummer.

It's a pretty car but it drives kinda boaty compared to what I'm used to. As long as it keeps the wifey and the baby safe, I'm all for it. No blinking CEL's, no huge repair bills, just easy driving.

(It may be because of the rain/tires too... New tires are slick due to their coating from the factory)... However not paying large repair bills should be a pretty nice trade off!

I've noticed that VW raised the game for dashstroking in the late 90's, but the Japanese companies have done some nice work freshening their interiors. My little GTI does feel a tad antiquated since sitting in the nicely appointed Accord. But, we were so comfortable having no car payments! Argh!!!
