As of right now, if you are interested in any of the Following models:
2008 Civics (all of them not just Hybrids) / 2008 Fit’s (All trims) / 2008 Pilots / 2008 Ridgelines / 2008 Odysseys / 2008 Accords (all trims)
Right now is the time to buy! With the APR Specials combined with the Pricing of these Models, I have not seen a better situation than now to purchase one…
For the Civics and Fits, get your deposit down now….availability of these will be less and less as gas prices continue to rise and more and more people are looking to trade their larger less economical vehicles.
There has even been some talk as to the fact we as Dealers may not have enough supply of any civic model to last through until the 2009’s are out!
Also, the 2009 Pilot will be here within the coming weeks….so wether you want that Brand New model or a Great Deal on a 2008, let me know either way!
We also have a HUGE selection of Certified Honda and Non-Honda Used vehicles as well…so even if you are looking for an “Almost New” used vehicle, I can help….with over 800 Used Vehicles at my fingertips Auto-Group wide!
As always, call or email me (email is best) for specific availability and Drive-Out pricing, especially for the most popular models that come and go very quickly.

Hello again to all!
We are focusing heavily on Accords right now….especially through this weekend….and this is for ALL Models and Trims of them…
The best thing to do is Call or Email me with what exactly it is you are looking for, in Color / Trim / 2 or 4 doors / Manual or Auto….so that way I can provide you with actual Drive Out pricing and Availability.
What we have currently going on is the best deals I have been able to offer on the Accords since they have been released, so dont take my words lightly…especailly in all 4 Cylinder models…from the LX to the EXL Navi’s!
I also have some great things going on for the Porch and Demo models we have…pics are available and I will also provide details on what each one has added to it.
For all other Models and Trims of everything else, just follow suit with the requested info for a Quote!
Dont forget that I am able to sell Used Vehicles as well…and have hundreds of Used Cars at my fingertips!

Chris,
Everything went perfectly last night!! I did get a silver bow from Yvette at Michael’s and was home by 5:45. My wife and I were walking out of our house to go to dinner, I asked her if she wanted to drive, and she said sure. She took the keys, looked up at the CRV, saw the bow and her jaw just dropped. She was completely surprised, and we gushed over the car for about 15 minutes. The colors were perfect too. Once again, my sincere thanks for everything you did, and to everyone else at Gunn that helped this go smoothly.
Sincerely,
M. Long

Hello again to everyone!
Ill start by saying thank you to all of the new TOV/Blog/8thcivic/Slickdeals/Yahoo! Answers Customers I now have…hard to believe that so many lurk out there who dont post! With support like what I recieve from this site and others, I can not be happier!
As of today, the 1st of April….no fooling around….we need to get some Pilots out of here!
So right now, our heaviest focus is on Pilots, Ridgelines,Pilots, Odysseys,Pilots and of course Accords….and Pilots.
There are some great opportunities in Special APR Rates and great Pricing on them as well….so let me know if there is a specific model / trim / color etc…that you are interested in, and Ill provide you with what I have available as well as actual Drive Out pricing.
We also have some Demo and Porch models that are becoming “well aged” that as many of you know means they need to go!
I look forward to hearing from you, and hopefully doing business with you very soon!

Today, I owe a BIG thank you to God and to the Honda engineers.
After a long day at the zoo with my three young children, I was at a drive-thru window getting ready to pay. My seven year old daughter somehow managed to drop something out of her window (middle row seat) once we got to the pay window. Without little thought, I told her to go ahead and unbuckle and retrieve the item. I was not really paying attention but out of habit I must have put the car into park and open the sliding door.
As she was doing this, I started to get my money out of my front pocket and so as I was straightening my leg to try to get deep into the pocket I inadvertantly pressed on the gas pedal (very hard). Wow!!! What a scare.
My daughter was hanging out of the car and there was another car parked in front of me. If the van had not been in park, my daughter would have either been killed or severely injured and the car in front of us would have been heavily damaged (no telling how my two and three year old would have been).
So thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You forethought in requiring the vehicle to be in park in order to open a sliding door protected us today. I keep thinking about how different my life would be and so I had to take the time to say thank you!!!!
I was tired and didn’t even realize that I must have acted out of instinct and put the car into park in order to open the sliding door. It wasn’t because I was being cautious that this happened (I wish I could say that was the case - I’m usually very careful about things like this but just was not thinking).
Once again THANK YOU!!!!
Sylvia D.
Proud Owner of a 2007 Touring Odyssey
Prevous Honda cars owned by me: 2003 Odyssey and 1998 Civic (this is my third Honda in the last 10 years and all of them have been in great shape when I traded them in)
Gunn Dealearship - Could you please forward this to Honda. I was unable to find an email address. I want to be sure that they get this email so that they can know how happy they made someone today.

We had been looking at used cars for a couple of months. Thinking that was the best way to go because of price. We had driven the 08 Accord 4cyl EX at a local dealer in October and we thought the price was out of our range and we really wanted the V6 anyway so that was the end of that.
I work with Longhorn from TOV and he went on about what a great deal he got from Chris at Gunn. So after another disappointing weekend of looking for used cars (one dealer was trying to sell us an 07 Camry SE…sounded nice…we get there it has huge deep scratches in the rear door and the ground effects covered with touch up paint) I decided to look at Gunn’s website with their One Simple Price right there on the website to see. I got in contact with Chris and we got a GREAT deal on the car…and EXACTLY what we wanted an 08 EX V6, Polished Metal exterior, Gray cloth interior for significantly less than the 4cyl we looked at in Oct.
I would suggest anyone looking in the Texas area check out Gunn and Chris Bond!

I am always asked by many customers nationwide for Car-Buying advice, so here are my “2 cents”…
1st of all….see what numbers you can get by phone or email….the more info/numbers you get this way the more you can shop without leaving your chair….plus it gives you time to see honestly how “cool” that dealer will be to work with.
2nd….dont be in a rush, even if you are. Act as if you have all the time in the world and your shopping everything from kia’s to Benz’s.
3rd….dont discuss what numbers you want. I repeat….DONT DISCUSS WHAT NUMBERS YOU WANT. Once you give up your hand, its hard to keep a poker face.
4th…..work the deal as if you are paying cash before talking finance or trades.
5th….Car Math is just like 1st grade math:
a) For every 5k you finance, you are going to pay around 100 bucks a month for it over a 5 year term.
b) For every year under or over 5 years on financing…either add or take away about 35 bucks a month.
c) For every 1000 you either put down in cash or trade equity….or add to the loan because of negative equity…take away or add 20 bucks to your 5 year loan per month.
d) Your rate (or APR) Doesnt matter THAT MUCH on your payment like a lot of people think!! 1% in RATE = 11 to 6 dollars a month on a 24-72 month term respectively.
6th…..To get financed from tier 4 (worst) to tier 1 (best)…you HAVE to have a 580 to 720 beacon score. Anything lower and be happy you got a loan…but be prepared to pay some crazy rates.
7th…. if one dealer couldnt finance you…chances are NONE OF THEM CAN no matter what they might say……you hopping from place to place will only make your score worse. Pull your own credit and go shopping that way.
8th….and possibly the most important……..Don’t do all the talking!!!!!
The more you talk, the easier you are for many “Car Dogs” to read. Negotiators do it for a living….regardless of how smart and savvy many people think they are. They (we) (Me) are professionals at what they- we - I do…we feed our kids with this job…and we hear every kind of story thats possible to come up with when it comes to weeding out “Real Customers” from people who are just “Playing the Game”…..and the more you talk or act like you have read every book on car sales…especially if you haven’t….the more you are giving yourself away. By knowing everything you can before you walk in the door (as much or more than the Dealer you are working with) and making sure they (we) (me) doesn’t know that….the better.
And not being truthfull and saying that you got a 2.9 rate at so-and so credit union is the first way to tell a salesperson thats worth his salt that you have no idea about what you are doing….especially if that isnt true!!!
We see rates all day. We see the best credit to the worst credit and we know what it takes to get whatever rates are avilable. Also, a dealership like mine uses over 30 lenders to get people bought. So that means I know what local rates are available by 7:30am every morning. The reason I want to know that is because this tells me what people need to get bought….and that helps me make money because that helps me get more people in a car that otherwise might not get done….or know that they could go for a new car when they thought they couldnt.
So the moral of the story is very simple….find the car(s) you want…compare them through info sites, drive each one…and do your own math. Walk in the dealer, give them your math, tell them the rate tier you qualify for and tell them to clean and gas her so you can get your new car on the road…..just bring a pen to sign with and you are in and out within an hour or so and I (we) can go help someone else get into their new baby as well.
At least thats how I like to do it!
Of course not all dealers are that easy to deal with…so search till you find one that is!!
Chris
