and &lt;a href="http://hendrickmotorsports.com/Dale-Earnhardt-Jr-AMP-National-Guard-Racing-Team-88.asp?team=10"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Dale Earnhardt Jr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. secured the front row for the Daytona 500 on Saturday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martin, the only driver to top 191 mph during qualifying, earned his first Daytona 500 pole. Earnhardt will start second, trying to rebound from the worst season in his Sprint Cup career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The front-row sweep validates, at least for a week, the offseason moves team owner Rick Hendrick made in an attempt to get Earnhardt's team turned around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's such an incredible accomplishment for the 5 and 88 team," Martin said. "It's all about the team. That was not an accomplishment of mine. ... To have Dale Jr. on the outside of the front row, locked in, just means we're doing something right."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earnhardt was nearly as optimistic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is a start, and hopefully we can keep the ball rolling over the next several days and have a good Speedweeks," Earnhardt said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martin and Earnhardt are the only drivers in the 43-man field who have their starting positions locked in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The top 35 drivers from last season are guaranteed starting spots in next Sunday's race, but their positions will be set in Thursday's 150-mile qualifying races. Eight other spots will be up for grabs in those races, which could be wild affairs since NASCAR is giving drivers more horsepower and more leeway for aggressive driving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martin and Earnhardt, meanwhile, might just want to stay out of trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://hendrickmotorsports.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Hendrick Motorsports&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, the most successful team in NASCAR right now, spent the offseason trying to get Earnhardt more in line with teammates Jimmie Johnson, Martin and Jeff Gordon -- who swept the top three spots in the final standings last season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earnhardt, the sport's most popular driver, went winless in his No. 88 &lt;a href="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/inventory/preownedcarsearch.jsp?ptitle=Pre-Owned%20Inventory&amp;amp;menu=preowned"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Chevrolet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; He notched just five top-10 finishes, had his crew chief fired midway through the year and suffered through the most confidence-rattling season of his 10-year Cup career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After celebrating Johnson's fourth consecutive &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Sprint Cup&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; championship, Hendrick made getting Earnhardt's team turned around his top priority. He restructured shop practices and shifted a lead race engineer and a key mechanic from Martin's successful team to Earnhardt's struggling crew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether the moves pay off won't really be known for some time, but for at least a week, it looks like Hendrick pushed all the right buttons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It takes a little bit of the pressure off and relieves a little bit of the stress," Earnhardt said.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7143514556557574459-4128437521534568640?l=www.charlestonhonda.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7143514556557574459/posts/default/4128437521534568640'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7143514556557574459/posts/default/4128437521534568640'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/2010/02/hendrick-motorsports-teammates-mark.html' title='Hendrick Motorsports teammates Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt Jr. secured the front row for the Daytona 500 on Saturday'/><author><name>Hendrick Honda of Charleston</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13019628636097181230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00131282763883957811'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143514556557574459.post-6412238146964891812</id><published>2010-02-09T12:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-09T12:17:53.371-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charleston Honda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2010 Accord'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hendrick Honda of Charleston'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2010 Civic'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/uploaded_images/Honda-Color-Logo-705423.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="175" kt="true" src="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/uploaded_images/Honda-Color-Logo-705398.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2009 and 2010 Accord Special AHFC A.P.R.

The two-passenger CR-Z introduces a new three-mode drive system that allows the driver to select between Sport, Econ (Economy) and Normal driving modes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two trim levels include the well-equipped CR-Z and the feature-rich CR-Z EX. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment and a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is available. Standard features on the CR-Z include Vehicle Stability Assist, an AM/FM/CD/USB audio system with six speakers, automatic climate control, power windows and door locks, remote entry, cruise control, and more. The CR-Z EX adds, High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlights with Auto-On/Off, fog lights, a 360-Watt AM/FM/CD premium audio system with seven speakers including subwoofer, Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®, perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and more. The CR-Z EX is available with the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System1 with voice recognition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CR-Z represents the sixth unique version of Honda's original IMA technology since the launch of the 2000 Insight, the first hybrid vehicle available in North America in December 1999. The foundation of the CR-Z's hybrid powertrain is a 4-cylinder, 16-valve, single overhead cam engine with "intelligent" Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (i-VTEC) that receives additional power from the IMA system's DC brushless electric motor. The i-VTEC system controls the opening and closing of one intake valve per cylinder to enhance combustion at low RPMs. The 10-kilowatt electric motor assists in acceleration and also acts as a generator during braking or coasting to capture kinetic energy that recharges the 100-volt IMA nickel-metal hydride battery pack. The gasoline engine can automatically turn off during vehicle stops to improve efficiency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;In addition to being environmentally responsible, the CR-Z demonstrates a commitment to safety in its design and construction. The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure helps protect vehicle occupants in a frontal collision. Additional safety technologies include standard dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags; standard front-side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS); side-curtain airbags, active head restraints; an anti-lock braking system; a tire pressure monitoring system; and a pedestrian injury mitigation design in the front of the vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7143514556557574459-2348093356400486911?l=www.charlestonhonda.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7143514556557574459/posts/default/2348093356400486911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7143514556557574459/posts/default/2348093356400486911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/2010/01/production-version-of-2011-honda-cr-z.html' title='Production Version of 2011 Honda CR-Z Sport Hybrid Coupe Makes Official Debut'/><author><name>Hendrick Honda of Charleston</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13019628636097181230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00131282763883957811'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143514556557574459.post-6872800691389556910</id><published>2010-01-12T07:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-12T07:42:26.415-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charleston Honda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Honda Hendrick Honda of Charleston'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Honda Graduate Program'/><title type='text'>Honda Graduate Program</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/uploaded_images/College-graduate-program-796539.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" ps="true" src="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/uploaded_images/College-graduate-program-796537.jpg" width="184" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;THE HONDA GRADUATE PROGRAM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...

According to the &lt;a href="http://www.mmsend50.com/ls.cfm?r=32514213&amp;amp;sid=8015485&amp;amp;m=873186&amp;amp;u=AIADA4&amp;amp;s=http://www.detnews.com/article/20091121/AUTO01/911210317/1148/Honda-leads-in-fuel-efficiency" sid="8015485&amp;amp;m=" title="blocked::http://www.mmsend50.com/ls.cfm?r=" u="AIADA4&amp;amp;s="&gt;Detroit News&lt;/a&gt;, all vehicles sold in the 2009 model year are expected to average 21.1 miles per gallon in "real world" driving, which is one-tenth of a mile better than in the 2008 model year. Final 2009 figures will be released next year in October or November. The preliminary numbers are based on sales data and confidential product reports and sales estimates from the companies and usually don't vary much from the final tallies, which are based on actual sales. Honda had a fleet wide 23.6 MPG fuel economy average in the 2009 model year. Hyundai had 23.4 MPG. Toyota Motor Corp., which was tied for first in 2007, slipped to third with 23.2 MPG. Volkswagen AG was fourth at 22.3 MPG; while Nissan Motor Co. and BMW AG were tied for fifth at 21.6 MPG. The EPA reports "real world" fuel economy rankings and carbon emissions. Because of credits for building alternative fueled vehicles, real-world adjustments and testing procedures, the EPA figures are at least 25 percent lower than those on new vehicle stickers. &lt;a href="http://www.mmsend50.com/ls.cfm?r=32514213&amp;amp;sid=8015486&amp;amp;m=873186&amp;amp;u=AIADA4&amp;amp;s=http://www.detnews.com/article/20091121/AUTO01/911210317/1148/Honda-leads-in-fuel-efficiency" sid="8015486&amp;amp;m=" title="blocked::http://www.mmsend50.com/ls.cfm?r=" u="AIADA4&amp;amp;s="&gt;For more on Honda’s leadership in fuel efficiency, including facts and statistics, click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7143514556557574459-6901081617822664361?l=www.charlestonhonda.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7143514556557574459/posts/default/6901081617822664361'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7143514556557574459/posts/default/6901081617822664361'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/2009/11/honda-leads-in-fuel-efficiency.html' title='Honda Leads in Fuel Efficiency'/><author><name>Hendrick Honda of Charleston</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13019628636097181230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00131282763883957811'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143514556557574459.post-6049621511035087259</id><published>2009-11-25T08:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-25T09:17:28.198-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hendrick Honda of Charleston'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2010 Accord Crosstour'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Redesigned Honda Accord'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charleston Honda dealership'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Honda Dealer'/><title type='text'>The all new: 2010 ACCORD CROSSTOUR</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/uploaded_images/CROSSTOUR-006-768288.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/uploaded_images/CROSSTOUR-006-767756.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;The&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;wait is over&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#990000;"&gt;2010 Honda Accord Crosstour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.

Now you can add cars, trucks and SUVs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is the best day to buy a car, according to car pricing researchers at the Web site Truecar.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Analysts looked at day-by-day car pricing for the last several years. That data revealed that discounts on Black Friday are, on average, the biggest of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The discounts from dealerships, as well as manufacturers' incentives, generate the highest discounts of the year on Black Friday," said Jesse Toprak, an analyst for Truecar.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike typical Black Friday sales where customers know exactly what they'll pay for an item, car prices are individually negotiated the day of the sale, so it's difficult for customers to know ahead of time they'll be getting a deal. But there's been a clear trend, Toprak said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The average new car discount on Nov. 27 is projected to be 7.5%. The average discount the day before and after is expected to be just over 6%. On a typical day throughout the year, car shoppers usually pay about 4.7% less than the sticker price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truecar.com projected particularly large Black Friday discounts on certain models. For instance, consumers should be able to pay about 28% off sticker price for a 2009 Suzuki SX4 compact car, 26% off for a 2009 Nissan Titan or Ford F-150 pick-up or 20% off a 2009 Hyundai Sonata sedan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Getting in on the Black Friday madness...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Car dealers are trying to get a piece of the Black Friday shopping frenzy, Toprak theorized, and that may to lead to the bigger discounts found in the data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There's a lot of noise in the market that day, and we have to stand out," agreed Brian Benstock, general manager of New York City's Paragon Honda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paragon Honda will send bicycle riders dressed in gorilla costumes to a nearby Best Buy store, Benstock said. The gorillas will be draped in sandwich-board signs advertising car deals available just down the road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paragon Honda will also be relying on more traditional advertising methods to pull customers in, Benstock said, including TV and print ads touting a "$5-a-day" &lt;a href="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/onlinespecials/onlinenewcar.jsp?ptitle=New%20Vehicle%20Specials&amp;amp;menu=onlinespecials"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Honda Civic. (That's a $149 a month for a 30-month lease with $1,999 down.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michelle Primm, managing partner of Cascade Auto Group in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, said her dealerships don't usually do big, splashy ads, except on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. "Those are the only two days when we buy full-page ads in the paper," she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Primm says her dealership does get more business on Black Friday although according to Truecar.com's Toprak, average dealership traffic doesn't tend to be particularly high that day, said Toprak. "Dealerships always spend a lot of money on marketing for that day," said Toprak "but for some reason it's not a particularly big day for car shopping."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That may be part of the reason for extra-big discounts, Toprak theorized. Dealerships that aren't getting the business just keep trying harder. Not everyone is playing, though. Bob Goldberg, general manager of Premium Nissan in New Rochelle, NY, denied that Black Friday is particularly special at his dealership. "Every day is important to us," he said. "I don't consider it different from any other day."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Crunch time for car dealers...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adding to the sales pressure, Black Friday this year happens to fall very close to the end of the month. Car deals typically sweeten as the month goes on because many dealerships are approaching quotas they must meet in order to get additional manufacturer incentives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I mean the push is on as we get close to the end of the month," Nissan dealer Goldberg conceded. Besides monthly deadlines, dealers are also under pressure to clear out 2009 model year cars and trucks before the end of the calendar year. Those cars will be much harder to sell after Dec. 31, when they become "last year's" models.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7143514556557574459-8461713489454606995?l=www.charlestonhonda.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7143514556557574459/posts/default/8461713489454606995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7143514556557574459/posts/default/8461713489454606995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/2009/11/black-friday-best-day-to-buy-car.html' title='Black Friday: Best day to buy a car'/><author><name>Hendrick Honda of Charleston</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13019628636097181230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00131282763883957811'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143514556557574459.post-4966658430235198757</id><published>2009-11-17T06:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-17T06:12:45.148-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Honda Element'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Odyssey'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hendrick Honda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Honda CR-V'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hendrick Honda of Charleston'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Honda Pilot'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2010 Honda Insight'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Honda Finance'/><title type='text'>Holiday Incentives from American Honda and Hendrick Honda</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;                                              &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt; Honda Holiday Special Programs    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.9% -4.9% &lt;/strong&gt;Financing available on all 2009-2010 CRV-V, Element, Fit, Insight, Odyssey, Pilot, and Ridgeline models for up to 60 Months.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7143514556557574459-4966658430235198757?l=www.charlestonhonda.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7143514556557574459/posts/default/4966658430235198757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7143514556557574459/posts/default/4966658430235198757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/2009/11/holiday-incentives-from-american-honda.html' title='Holiday Incentives from American Honda and Hendrick Honda'/><author><name>Hendrick Honda of Charleston</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13019628636097181230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00131282763883957811'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143514556557574459.post-216345068449093512</id><published>2009-11-13T10:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-13T10:38:41.877-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Drum Roll Please......We Have a Winner!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;One lucky &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NASCAR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; fan has a really great reason to be thankful this Holiday Season!

It is important to decipher and understand the various categories of prices that a product may be marked at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A smart salesman selling a car may offer you a list of prices at which related items are &lt;em&gt;offered&lt;/em&gt;. This is called the &lt;em&gt;indicative price&lt;/em&gt;. However, this list may not be a definitive guide to your buying or selecting a car, because what you need is not this price, but the one at which the car is &lt;em&gt;actually&lt;/em&gt; sold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These two prices are a world apart and make a major difference to the buyer. If you settled for a deal based on the &lt;em&gt;indicative price&lt;/em&gt;, there is a good chance that you eventually shelled out more than what the car actually cost as per the manufacturer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This appears simple enough; but most consumers start their negotiation at an inflated price and fail to notice a disclaimer made on the price list: "suggested retail values represent Kelley Blue Book's estimated dealer asking price. The actual selling price may vary substantially".&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/"&gt;Charleston Honda&lt;/a&gt; offers an authoritative guide to prices on your Honda vehicles. When you ask for a price estimate, we provide you not what Kelly Blue Book supplies us as dealers, which is a generic indicator of market prices on different models, but the price at which it is actually selling. We provide you the estimated average selling price for the car of your choice, so that you can make an educated decision of which car you want to drive home and plan your finances accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drive your favorite Honda home at a price that is as good as your car!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7143514556557574459-3375979156157545485?l=www.charlestonhonda.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7143514556557574459/3375979156157545485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7143514556557574459&amp;postID=3375979156157545485' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7143514556557574459/posts/default/3375979156157545485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7143514556557574459/posts/default/3375979156157545485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/2009/10/charleston-honda-offers-kelley-blue.html' title='Charleston Honda offers Kelley Blue Book Actual Prices on its Cars'/><author><name>Blog Author</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06196916881322437200</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04317459149204773857'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143514556557574459.post-8612753521232033709</id><published>2009-10-14T07:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-14T08:30:32.187-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charleston Honda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='honda event'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hendrick tent event'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hendrick honda of charleston tent event'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='charleston car sale'/><title type='text'>Tent Event at Hendrick Honda of Charleston!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/uploaded_images/balloons-771890.png"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 183px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/uploaded_images/balloons-771878.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/uploaded_images/balloons-751142.png"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 183px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/uploaded_images/balloons-751127.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Starting on October 15th - 24th Hendrick Honda of Charleston will be slashing prices on hundreds of vehicles for our highly anticipated Hendrick Tent Event!

As a primary advocate and humane education resource, the CAS offers programs in Charleston and surrounding area schools and in the community, teaching lessons that foster kindness to people, animals and the earth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In addition, the Charleston Animal Society provides shelter and care for lost, abandoned and homeless companion animals; maintains a state-of-the-art facility that promotes the adoption of homeless animals to responsible, caring homes; operates a low fee spay/neuter clinic; works collaboratively with other local animal shelters and rescue groups; works with animal control agencies on cruelty investigations and seeks vigorous prosecution when appropriate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How you can help&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Hendrick Honda of Charleston is proud to be a sponsor of Paws in the Park. You can also be a sponsor! The Charleston Animal Society provides food, shelter, medical care, and compassion to more than 12,000 homeless animals each year. Thanks to the gifts of our donors and corporate partners, last year we were able to place over 5,450 of our animal friends in a new home or reunite them with their owner, spay/neuter over 6,000 animals, and provide rescue efforts for animals suffering from cruelty situations. We are also able to provide humane education to 2,800 students in area classrooms each year. Through these programs we teach children empathy and compassion for animals and people. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;For further information on sponsoring this event please contact:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Staci Bennett&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Director of Volunteer Services&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Tel: 843.329.1579&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Email: &lt;a href="mailto:sbennett@charlestonanimalsociety.org"&gt;sbennett@charlestonanimalsociety.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/uploaded_images/spca-027-735722.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 143px" alt="" src="http://www.charlestonhonda.com/blog/uploaded_images/spca-027-734916.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Event Information&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Date:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; October 24, 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Time:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Walk begins at 10:00 am&lt;/span&gt; - &lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Event festivities begin at 11:00 am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Location:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Park Circle, N.

Take advantage of the &lt;strong&gt;CAR Allowance Rebate System (CARS)&lt;/strong&gt;, a federal program that helps the consumers buy or lease a more environmentally-friendly vehicle from dealers when they trade in a less fuel-efficient car or truck. The CARS is basically a $1 billion government program through which the consumers can get a $3,500 or $4,500 discount from the dealer when they trade in their old vehicle and buy or lease a new one. One main plus point of the program is that the consumers do not have to register anywhere or at any time for this program. Here are a few important points to keep in mind to utilize the benefits of this program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your vehicle must be less than 25 years old on the trade-in date&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only purchase or lease of new vehicles qualify&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generally, trade-in vehicles must get 18 or less MPG (some very large pick-up trucks and cargo vans have different requirements)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trade-in vehicles must be registered and insured continuously for the full year preceding the trade-in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The program requires the scrapping of your eligible trade-in vehicle, and that the dealer disclose to you an estimate of the scrap value of your trade-in. The scrap value, however minimal, will be in addition to the rebate, and not in place of the rebate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not the least, the CARS program runs through November 1, 2009 or when the funds are exhausted, whichever comes first&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Log on to &lt;a href="http://www.cars.gov/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.cars.gov/&lt;/a&gt; to know more.
