A quick history -
I've owned about three vehicles, the first was an '88 Jeep Commanche my Dad gave me as my first 'learning' vehicle. The second was a 1998 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 that was a present from my uncle for graduation. The third was a 2000 Dodge Ram Extended Cab that I bought from another uncle who is GM of the largest Dodge dealer in Mississippi.
Needless to say I don't have much experience buying cars because I've never had to price negotiate for a vehicle. I know somewhere on these forums is a master hagger that can give me some tips (specific to vehicles) when I go shopping for this new car.
Here's a link to Honda's site with specs and MSRP ($23,900): 2005 Honda Accord Coupe EX w/ Leather
I live in Hawaii, on O'ahu... which some people believe will increase the price of the car; logic tells me it should be cheaper here than the mainland US since Japan is a hell of a lot closer to Hawaii than the west or east coasts of the US.
I've negotiated many real estate investment deals and I would imagine the principles of negotiation I've learned from that could be applied to car buying, but I don't know if there are specific pitfalls I should be wary of!
hlep! 🙁
I'm also pretty set that the color has to be either black or silver, although I imagine this could impact my potential pool of available cars to haggle on...
