Is this a good car deal?
DH & I are looking at buying a new car. We're in no rush to buy unless we find a great deal. (we owe $5900 on his truck and will be selling my car-KBB @ $8500). Probably not putting anything down on the new car, but will use the money from selling my car to payoff the truck and stick in savings.
We test drove a lot this weekend and fell in love with the CR-V. 4WD is a must for us and we are looking at the LX model (we don't need all the bells & whistles). Truecar has it listed at $21,881. One of our local honda stores has .9% interest with good credit (DH has a 776 score, 811 for me, so we should qualify). I don't remember honda as usually having a low interest rate. Is this a good deal? Should we go for it or wait a while?
Also, what else should we expect in the way of fees (i'm thinking roughly 2000 for taxes etc?). Is the extended warranty a good idea or should we pass (we tend to drive appx 15000 miles a year and plan on keeping the car for 10+ years).

Re: Is this a good car deal?
What year is the car your looking at? .9% interest is a good deal.
For the fees your looking at the registration fees, sales tax which at 8 percent or so will give you about 1,700, some times dealers will charge alittle more for document fees sometimes this price can be a couple hundred. Sometimes dealers will have those bongus fees like dealer prep or shipping fees that you wont expect. Find out early what fees you will be charged and negotiate accordingly.

Re: Is this a good car deal?
funny my dream one is a 90-96 300zx twin turbo 5 speed the rarest one but anyway did you check all the fluids and make sure the turbo is good if it has one also check parts availability as its getting older and rarer therefore will need parts even though nissans are very reliable seeing as your 16 this will be a daily driver so MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET PARTS RIGHT WHEN NEEDED, if not then get a newer body style one if you can find one but 2300 for that one in good shape is good if you can get parts and find someone who knows how to fix it if you get to something you cant fix just my opinion great car though
Or did I miss something?
