Default Just bought an Accord.

Went to a chevy dealership cuz i saw an ad for a 99 coupe V6 Accord.. ended up liking a 2003 accord coupe... now, it was 9:30 pm and they locked up the keys for the car, it was told to me that the car was a V6. so, i bargained them to $17,200 O.T.D!!! the next day i come to pick up the car.. pop'd open the hood and its a 2.4L engine.. i was like WTF this isnt a V-6!!! ne ways the car actually cost me like $15,444+plus taxes+ doc fee which came to $17,200. after checking the KBB prices.. i still decided to buy the car. its 03 Accord Coupe EX 4cyl, 30k miles... was this a good deal?

If you paid more than KBB, you need to work on your bargaining skills. But if your happy......

Renogitiate the price. The vehicle was misrepresented. Do you have documentation about the V-6? If your contract says it's a 6 then you can terminate the contract. Some advise, don't buy a car you didn't do research on. V-6's have dual exhaust. Always drive the car... don't take their word on the car. Lastly, don't buy a car you have only seen at night. Put down a refundable deposit and check it out in the daylight. Either way, it should be a good car. Maybe you can bargain for an extended warranty in lieu of a reduced price if the dealer won't bargain. Good Luck

well the car still had the warranty and everything so, i bought it for $15,400 + plus taxes+ doc fee came to $17,200. this is price is under KBB though, to compensate the v6 issue they gave me $2,000 give certificates shopping spree to a store. i didnt care much for that $2000... but at least it made the deal a little better..

They gave you gift certificates AND you paid over KBB value?

I dont want to be mean, but dude, youre being taken, raped in the ***, and asking for seconds.

You're ok with this?

You probably can't do much now, but initially you could have gotten a lawyer and had some help...
