Hi Folks,
My name is Joe. My wife is getting a new vehicle and we've pretty much decided on the Crosstour EX-L AWD.
She had a new '93 Accord SE years ago and it was the bomb. As far as bikes, I've owned mostly Honda and have a lot of confidence in the company. I recently won a 2010 Harley Wide Glide in a raffle and don't plan on another bike ever. Just cause it's a Harley
, I also drive an '04 Nissan Titan 4x4 Crew that I bought new. Anyway I digress:
She rally likes the Crosstour, and so do I. We test drove the EX-L awd yesterday and all she needs to do is decide what color she wants. Haven't made any deals yet.
I'm leary of first model years, please tell me of any problems that are occurring with this new model. Being it's built on the Accord platform etc, I feel it should have better reliabilty than average 1st year models, but there isn't much data out there. Let me know what to watch out for please. How have the dealerships/company been handling any issues? Are they addressing them reasonably?
Now as far as the deal itself: Any suggestions on what to ask for before it rolls off of the floor such as tires, Dealer options, etc?
The price the salesman gave us was $30,640 plus tax with 1.9 percent financing. We will talk a trade in and some cash, I could go either way on those. His price is only 923 dollars above 'consumer reports bottom line'. That's with no haggling and no offers from me (yet) I think his offer was pretty good, but I will go lower. Either there is more padding in the sticker than meets the eye, or they are just in a hurry to get the 2010's off the lot, or it's just a good deal. What do you think about that price? Should I wait for the 2011's to start showing up?
Sorry for being so long winded on my first post, I appreciate your time and suggestions/opinions/experience. As you can imagine, I'd like to get this done and at this point need as much input as I can get before pulling the trigger
Guess I'll have to force myself to be patient.
Looking forward to 'Meeting' and hearing from you.
Thanks,
Chief
