Hi guys,
Planning to get a Honda Insight (obviously used). year 2012/2013. depends. Usually whats the interest rate on Honda used cars nowadays? What bank allows easier loans? I have a 2008 satria neo i wanted to trade in, 1.6 manual. a little beat up, dinged here n there. should i fix it up before approaching used car dealerships for trade in, or should i fix the car up 1st? |

QUOTE(zenix @ Jul 25 2016, 02:04 PM) Okay. like that ahh? hahaha... very very wtf. Don't bother to fix up the car when giving it to the used car dealer. No matter what they'd offer you a terrible price for it anyway.  thanks for the heads up. thinking of keeping aside the money to fix up car, but guess i wont be bothered. ill go n trade in the car anyway. much appreciated  |

QUOTE(zenix @ Jul 26 2016, 09:35 AM) yeah, if your car is in good condition i'm sure in their minds they're thinking "sucker". much appreciated. they valued my '06 satria neo 1.6m at 11.5k.unless you plan to sell directly to friends/family, don't really bother to fix up cosmetic issues. however, if got major issues like the car cannot start or aircon not working you better fix it. used car dealers won't care what ICE, rims, bodykit, and mods done.  a bit sad, but nothing much i can say. my car is stock standard aside from the rims, skyline r32 seats, soundproofing and USB HU. i guess 11.5k is fair price... but im just saying - in case i decided to not sell the car to them, even tho i originally plan to for downpayment, they have no right to force me rite? sorry for so many questions  |
