Hey gang-

I've been reading this forum for about 4 months, waiting for my '08 HCH to show up. It finally arrived yesterday, and I'm very pleased with it thus far.

This all started for me last May, when I put my name on a card and dropped it into the slot for the give away Honda Civic at the Boston AIA Convention. I though it was BS when they e-mailed to let me know that I'd won the car... How 'bout it!

I was able to pick the color, Galaxy Grey, and added the Nav setup. The car came from Schaumberg Honda in Chicago, and was delivered to my door in Idaho. I will have to pay income taxes on the value, but the car has only cost me the $1500 Nav upgrade, and $1400 shipping. Not to shabby.

Looking forward to tripling the gas mileage over my Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Happy trails-

Pete

 

Wow! Congratulations!

I won a Toyota RAV-4 back in 1996 when they first came out, but I hated it and traded it in immediately.

So, will you get the federal tax incentive? I know if it was me, I would file for it!!!

Best of luck!

 

No doubt very few people will beat that price....just a bit below MSRP, even with the tax on the value...enjoy the car.

 

idahoblueskies,

I have so far avoided replying to this thread because I'm jealous.

There, I said it! Man, that was like therapy. Now I feel better.

Congratulations on your wonderful luck and a great car!

 

Congratulation!

What a great thing to win!

 

Welcome and you suck! (just kidding)

Keep us up to date with your feelings about the car since you're an unusual case--most of us spent quite a few hours and brain cells deciding to buy this car. Also, don't let the mountain terrain scare you. I get my best mileage in the mountains--it's all about the "glide" down!

 

Talk about early break-even.

Congrats!
