Taking the Plunge

Taking the Plunge

After much coercing from my wife, I decided that I needed to cut fuel costs down on my commute. I determined, based on many user reviews, that my best bet would be a Honda Civic. I am cut from an older cloth which translates; "I prefer to keep older vehicles alive in order to not make vehicle payments". But when parts and fuel costs outweigh the value of an older vehicle, one has to realize that purchasing a newer vehicle might make better fiscal sense. So off to Airdrie Honda I went.
Mike Fry was my sales rep and I must say; he not only knows his product, he loves it...and that is contagious. I bought an 09 Civic Sport and to be honest, who doesn't glance over at the latest and greatest while thinking, "maybe I could just take one for a test drive to compare?" I have met many sales reps who would have jumped in at that momentary point of indecision and begin pushing the latest and greatest. Mike didn't seize that opportunity because he listened to what my needs were rather than what my potential wants might be. By doing so he sealed the deal, I have zero buyers remorse and I don't have to worry about that infamous depreciation value of a new car.
Before I could take possession of my "new" car, it had to undergo the thorough Honda Certification inspection. Apparently there is a paint recall on my particular year and model, so it took longer than expected. Mike called me up and informed me of this and that they were offering me a loaner car till mine was ready. That loaner car saved me $135 in fuel costs in four days.
If you your fuel costs are anything like mine, then doesn't it make sense to take the plunge? I highly recommend Mike Fry, Brandon Heatherington and the rest of the team at Airdrie Honda.
