Went back with my wife to the Honda dealership today, as I'm back thinking a van is the most practical choice....ask salesperson to e-mail me a formal "best price"....and I intend to either pay cash or finance with my credit union (made that very clear).
Was simply sent a bi-weekly payment (with 8% rate attached) as a quote...so frustrating...with a note from the sender saying that the payment includes a 7-year bumper to bumper extended warranty. Working some Excel magic, I see the warranty's implied cost is $7,812 (could be even more if there was a discount applied to the window price of the vehicle).
And I wonder why I hate car shopping....
