Hey guys i went to a honda dealership here in paramus, nj to test drive a civic hybrid. i really want to get one because i want to trade my acura tl 2004 as soon as possible before i spend more than i should. i got this sales guy who was younger than me and started 2 weeks ago. he had little to no knowledge of the hybrid and even admitted that i would know more of them. but he mentioned that they have run-flats? is this true???

i got the following options: wheel locks, chrome exhaust finisher, fog lights, all season floor mats, auto d/n mirror w/ compass, interior illumination, leather steering wheel cover, interior gauge trim kit, bass system kit, and honda music link. does anyone have pictures of the interior illumination and interior gauge trim kit? i don't see it on the honda website.

so i had my acura tl appraised and will have a balance of $3075 to transfer to my new balance. i managed to make a deal of $600 a month with 8.99% which includes all the options above with installation and the remaining balance with 0 down payment. they wouldn't give me the full total, just the monthly payment because they said it was getting late (after 9pm) and i'll receive it later this week. it's also the nav version. is this a good deal? i played with the finance calculator and found that with the 600 monthly payment with 8.99%, the estimated selling price would be 25,836. so i guess that the price of the car with taxes, options and installation.

they wouldn't have any hybrids with nav until end of the month and they'll have the white and silver blue. i test drove the white one and it's not bad. i like dark cars with dark interior like my tl: anthracite with black interior. i may choose the white but what do you guys think? i kinda like the magnetic pearl but i may have to wait longer for that and from the pictures there's blue cloth with black and tan panels...not too crazy with having more than 2 interior colors...especially the blue cloth.

well i'm looking forward to your responses and i'll be around to post some more in the future.
