Day 53: Beating a Dead Horse

Today's email included a very nice note (okay, it was a spammy blast) from Lynnwood Honda offering up to 120% of blue book value for my used car.

So naturally I clicked thru to see if they would be increasing their low $11,000 offer for my Fit up to $13,200 (which I still think is too low to actually get a deal done, but it's progress). What did I find with the click thru?

This lovely sign up sheet. So I filled out the sign up sheet and got the very professional looking result:

More runaround from Lynnwood Honda. Thanks for the easy to use tools--NOT! I will call them in the morning and see if they really do want to improve their offer, but I'm thinking not, since the sales manager hasn't gotten back to me about improving the original offer.

Tomorrow I'll get into my test drives of the Ford C-Max Energi and Mercedes B-Class Electric.

I miss my Fit.

UPDATE: Apparently my request went thru. A rep from Lynnwood Honda just called and offered me $10,200 for the car. For those of you keeping score, that is less than the $11,000 offered last week, and, as mentioned by the buyer, I wouldn't benefit from the reduction in sales tax if I didn't do a trade in and buy in the same transaction. Same net result however--these offers are way off the mark if they really want to get me out of my car and get themselves out from under my rentacar.
