June is shaping up to be another great month here…and I wanted to update everyone with what is currently going on as well as things to keep in mind about certain vehicles you may be interested in.

For starters….lets talk about Fit’s / Civic’s and Civic Hybrids:

These are getting to the point where being able to purchase one in a Specific Color and Trim comes down to wether or not you have a deposit one one you want.

Overall supply is no where near the demand, and if you are looking to get one in the next few months, put a deposit on one that matches what you want so that you get first dibbs so to speak once it arrives.

(Deposits here are 250.00 and are fully refundable and transferrable)

For the 2008 Accords….we still have many of them in different colors and Trim Levels….but considering the fact many people are purchasing them INSTEAD of one the Civic / Fit / Civic Hybrid’s…inventory is slowly getting less and less on them as well.

We have some pretty awesome things going on in the way of discounts on the 08 Accord…so let me know if you want specifics for Pricing and availability on one.

For the Truck Lines - 2008 Ridgelines / CRV’s / Odyssey’s / Element’s and 2008 / 2009 Pilots:

I really cant stress it enough how good of a time to get one of these is right now…as Im sure anyone can imagine.

With Incentives combined with Special APR Rates, there is only so good a Situation can get…..and right now it has to be one of the better Situations I have seen….so same here when it come to info…just call or email me!

A lot of what is going on right now will be ending soon….so dont wait too long!

Let me know how I can help in any form or fasion, and I will look forward to hearing from you!

You guys are awesome, and Chris is simply the best.

Also, I am a third shift manufacturing supervisor and I drove our new Accord
to work the past two nights, and on both nights I have had to go out to the
parking lot to tell everyone that eye candy time is over and get back to
work, as I kept finding employees absent from their positions and standing
around the Accord. Apparently the word has spread at work about the new
Accord as our Vice President in charge of production drove back to work last
night from his home in New Braunfels to look at it and ask me about it.

I have told everyone interested to go to Gunn Honda and talk to Chris Bond.

Thanks Again,
Can’t wait to get our car back.
R. McCauley.
P.S. This was intended to be my wife’s car, but I have changed that status,
with her approval, to Our Car.

The details of the ones I have are as follows:

(1) 2007 Model (White) with 49,301 Miles
Selling for 20,900.00 (OTD Of 22,438.45)

(5) 2006 Models (Silver) with between 49,200 and 54,200 miles …selling for 19,990.00 (OTD of 21,469.26 )

With them being Honda Certified Used, they now have powertrain coverage out to 7 years and 100k Miles from the In-Service Date as well as an extra 12 Months and 12k Miles on the Limited Warranty…

Call or email me if you would like to schedule a time to come and check them out, or put a deposit on one to secure it so that no one can buy the one you want but you….deposits are 250.00 and are fully refundable and transferrable!
