New Year, New ride... 13' Fit!

Otd is important for you. A number of the states around you have no limit doc fees. So they can literally make the doc fee a grand if they wanted. A Honda dealer in NC said every car has a $450 doc fee on their lot. Something that you obviously want to know when comparing.

The Cleveland guy emailed me back some numbers. Not looking good, lol Not saying that the OTD price is bad since they only added $290 in doc and dealer fees, but after all said and done I might be waiting to get a new/used car.

The OTD price is important because it will eventually determine the monthly payment. To stay at a 60 month financing, the monthly payment is going to be more than I want to pay at the moment. I could swing it at a 72 month financing but then I pay for it at the end of it all and that would not be the smartest move.

Are they offering decent financing rates? Ohio doc fee max is $250, so they're probably charging the max plus tag fees etc.

What interest rate would you get for a brand new car?

Prob as good as they offer. I always fall under "excellent" credit bracket.

Waiting to hear back.....not sure if he can give me an exact rate since he hasn't pulled credit.

The Skunk2/Kraftwerks Fit eats a BMW M5 on track at Willow Springs. The Skunk2/Kraftwerks Fit gets its "go" from a Kraftwerks/Rotrex Supercharger Kit, Skunk2 Pro-C Coilovers, and a Skunk2 Megapower Exhaust.

So this car just got reduced today. Too bad I am kinda stuck on the 14s with the tech goodies.

Sooooooooooooo.......back to the retro flickering issue.

Would anyone think that changing to a 55w ballast might fix the issue? I saw a post on FitFreak.com were a guy had the exact setup I have but he was running the 55w ballast from TRS where I have the 35w ballast from TRS. I sent that guy a PM to see if he had any flickering issue and waiting to hear back.

I was also reading on FitFreak that previous members that had issues with flicker ended up getting new alternators. This seemed to get rid of the issues. I hope it doesn't come down to that......

No more shopping for a car?

Done for now.......I might last till about March. Should have tax refund by then(or already spent it on items I am trying to pay off) and my bday month, lol.

 

[Nomar06]

Next mod on the Fit.....

 

[ethlar]

55w vs 35w is probably not the source of the issue, plus a 55w ballast risks melting parts of the mini projectors

Machine screws? You know anyone else with some d2s bulbs you could swap for a minute to see if the problem continues?

I don't.....might just buy some. Prob going to switch sides for shits an giggles since the pass side tends to flicker more.

 

[Nomar06]

This is what I did with the machine screws.....stock is on top and modified is the lower.
