Car Forum / Honda Cars / September 2006I'm going to cancel the Fit
It's now over two months since I ordered it and I just can't stay in limbo any longer. I gave the guy a week to get an Orange one and if he can't then we just cancel it and I put some more money into my 91 Accord. Maybe next year it will be cheaper and easier to get. I saw one advertised by a fairly local dealer (20 miles away), orange, used with 100 miles, for more than I was supposed to pay for a new one. That's just too much. > It's now over two months since I ordered it and I just can't stay in > limbo any longer.

Did you try negotiating a lower price with that dealer? Tell them what price your dealer gave you for a new one? > It's now over two months since I ordered it and I just can't stay in > limbo any longer.

With 100 miles on it, it is still a new vehicle. It's obviously been test driven. Not a big deal. > > I saw one advertised by a fairly local dealer (20 miles away), orange, > > used with 100 miles, for more than I was supposed to pay for a new > > one.

If it's never been titled, it's new. If it's been titled, it's used. That's it. Miles don't matter. You can have a 100 mile used car, and you can have a 5000 mile new car (no doubt driven by the dealership owner's daughter). >> > I saw one advertised by a fairly local dealer (20 miles away), orange, >> > used with 100 miles, for more than I was supposed to pay for a new [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >Miles don't matter. You can have a 100 mile used car, and you can have a >5000 mile new car (no doubt driven by the dealership owner's daughter). I was wondering about that. It was clearly stated as "used" and I was a bit nervous about that. Why would someone return a vehicle after 100 miles? Maybe they discovered that there isn't a bike rack that will fit it? I've been looking and I can't find one without installing a trailer hitch. Ha, a trailer hitch on a vehicle with 107 hp! I also didn't want to end up in a contractual situation of buying a car while under contract with another dealer so I just let it go by. >>>> I saw one advertised by a fairly local dealer (20 miles away), orange, >>>> used with 100 miles, for more than I was supposed to pay for a new [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > fit it?

Ha, a trailer hitch on a vehicle with 107 hp! have you ever been to europe? over there, cars with a good deal less power than that tow trailers all the time - maybe not 5 ton boat trailers, but still useful capacities. they have to change gears on grades, but they still manage it ok. look at horse power per pound and compare to a big rig. > I also didn't want to end up in a contractual situation of buying a > car while under contract with another dealer so I just let it go by. > >>>> I saw one advertised by a fairly local dealer (20 miles away), orange, > >>>> used with 100 miles, for more than I was supposed to pay for a new [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > I also didn't want to end up in a contractual situation of buying a > > car while under contract with another dealer so I just let it go by. Torque is also the bigger factor for towing. It's what gives whatever you're towing the intitial push, then HP keeps it moving along. > > fit it?

Kudos to Honda. > have you ever been to europe? over there, cars with a good deal less > power than that tow trailers all the time - maybe not 5 ton boat Well, you're forgetting that in Europe 99% of the drivers don't mind shifting the gears themselves. I don't see why would anyone want a 109hp car with an automatic. CVT is not offered on Fit or is it? >> > fit it? I've been looking and I can't find one without installing a >> > trailer hitch. Ha, a trailer hitch on a vehicle with 107 hp! [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >automatic. >CVT is not offered on Fit or is it? I'm confused on that. My understanding when I started looking at the Fit was that it had CVT. No CVT! Automatic or 5 speed only. >>> > fit it?

Yes > No CVT! > Automatic or 5 speed only. if this review of the honda jazz is anything to go by, the automatic /is/ a cvt. http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/cars/honda-jazz-1-4/1027685/ > Wait a minute here. "New" and "used" are legal terms. That's true. > If it's never been titled, it's new. If it's been titled, it's used. Also true. I just don't consider that a vehicle on the lot with 100 miles on it to be a returned previously purchased vehicle. I took the term 'used' to be a phrase the OP used to describe the vehicle with 100 miles on its clock. > That's it. > > Miles don't matter.

If a salesman tells me "used," that connotates something very specific and factors greatly in the price I'm willing to pay. > If a salesman tells me "used," that connotates something very specific > and factors greatly in the price I'm willing to pay. That's true, too. |
