I have not read all post but if he got a car great! I got mine off auto trader, got great deal two yrs ago 03 accord sdn, and don't consider it ugly at all. One secret, print out ad and take it with you and show them the ad. Sales guy said he would have charged me 1,800 more if did not have ad. Guy was old school creepy salesman.
They wanted to charge me $1000 just for getting loan thru honda dealership. I am glad I went with my credit union and read all paperwork before selecting where to get loan. Both had same percent rate below 5%. Also it helped that I was pre-approved so had credit union check with me.
