Dealer has offered $18,000 as trade-in for my transmission-challenged '00 Ody LX with 29,500 miles. For our troubles with the Ody, the dealer is subtracting $500 from MSRP on the purchase of a new 2002 Ody LX. This doesn't seem like enough of a concession for having had 18 months of transmission troubles. I'll need to come up with approx. $6700 (inc. tax, tags, etc.) to make the trade. I see 2000 Ody LX's with similar mileage selling for around $21,000. So, the dealer will make a nice profit on the sale of my '00 Ody (as if he didn't make enough when I bought it at MSRP) and will also profit handsomely on the sale of a new '02 Ody. I'll be contacting Honda Customer Relations to see if I can work a better deal. Meanwhile, any thoughts on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
