Used Honda Finance
Over the weekend I dropped in at my local Honda garage to see what cars they had on offer. There was plenty available and some at reduced prices for both new and used vehicles. Whilst finance seemed to be promoted with force, I didn’t hold my breath that many would qualify given the current state of the market. Nonetheless the dealers were still offering car finance deals for new cars (of course – these are the most profitable) and used cars. APR rates seemed to be quite competitive compared to a few of the other car dealers that I had visited (albeit for different manufacturers). However, given some of the prices on show, it may be possible for certain people to be able to afford a car without the need for a finance / credit application. The salesman were very friendly and offered some an informative insight into what was on offer and why. Of course the market as a whole has been hit due to the credit crunch and so much of this was self explanatory. Whilst I was looking at the cars on show, I wasn’t going to buy there and then and I did inform the salesman of this. I always tend to do this as I understand being a salesman means that the pay packet is based around commission and so I don’t want to take up someone else’s time unless they have it. One particular vehicle that did catch my eye was the Honda S2000, which I thought was a remarkable looking car. It had that sporty look to it and reminded me of a Chrysler Crossfire or the old versions of the Audi TT. Looking at the performance of the car also offered a fair comparison to the 2 mentioned above as it offered a high top speed and quick acceleration. A used version of the S2000 was what I was looking at even though it looked brand new. The previous owner had obviously kept it in good condition.
