My New Honda Jazz - Was It a Bargain?

Last month I purchased an automatic 2017 Honda Jazz VTi - the basic model as an EOFY runnout.

I paid $18K drive away - no tradein.

Do you think that was a good price?

      yes, your ass does look big in those jeans

      Good big, or bad big?

  • Yes, but what does that have to do with the price of fish?

    Never ask that question after you buy something impossible to just take back on a whim.

    If you were happy at the time and you bought it don't keep looking for better deals or opinions your just punishing yourself.

    Someone is almost always going to one better it.

    Should start a poll.

    A. Yes bargain, should have Broden'ed all of them.

    B. No deal, take it back and get a full refund.

  • Nah

  • Honda Jazz?

    You got it for a song.

  • Yeah, just to stroke your ego

  • WOW - best deal ever - never to be repeated - well done !

    hang on, no, worst deal ever, never to be repeated

    does either reply help you?

    no

    so just enjoy your new car………….

    Sorry not a high yield investment vehicle
    Those are $80k

    • OP must be unemployed therefore no one to impress.

  • Appreciate the comments!

    One more thing - I felt there was a lot of pressure to add window tinting, dent insurance, paint protection etc etc

    Is this common practice - (I have not bought a new car for a very long time!!)

    Can I ask if anyone adds any of these when buying a new car and was it worth it??

      No you don't need it.

      Common practice for new car sellers. Just say no.

      If you want window tinting, you can find that you can get them cheaper from actual tinters rather than through the dealership.

      I did window tinting on my car and I'm kinda meh over it. I could live without it.

      Never buy any of that crap. That is how the dealers make their money. People think having it done at the dealers will somehow make it better.

      The only real one to worry about is Tinting, and you can get it done for a fraction of the cost yourself. Just google Window Tinters… on the Central Coast of NSW there is a company who does it for $199 starting price.

    It's not a Toyota Corolla, the unofficial car of OzBargain celebrated for it's resale value, so probably not.

    • No, it's Camry… with mags.

    New cars bought at retail prices are never a bargain, but then again, if no one bought new cars there would be no second hand bargains. ;-)

  • It doesn't matter, just enjoy the car.

  • How much is it now worth on the 2nd hand market? What about in 1 year with > 10,000 km?

  • hard to buy second hand. second hand dealer prices are not cheap either. all in all you get a good deal for these models. they are basic. john cadogan may help in knowing in depth about these issues.

  • A new car is never a bargain in my opinion. However it can be used as a tax benefit.

    • Only if over $80k.
