#1171 of 9185 Re: Sale taxes before or after trade in [thong24k] by blueiedgod Aug 14, 2004 (6:42 pm)
Replying to: thong24k (Aug 14, 2004 4:38 pm) It depends on the state. I know that in NY and CT you get taxed on the difference of the selling price and the trade in. If NJ has simlar tax law, then your dealer is correct. If the dealer is offering you $9500 on the trade in and you could sell it for $10,000. I think the $500 difference is worth the fact that you don't have to advertize the car ($65-70) answer the phone and have strangers come over and kick your tires. Although, it is possible that if the dealer is giving you $9500 on trade-in, the car would probably sell for $11,000-$11,500.

#1175 of 9185 civic load capacity by sf24 Aug 16, 2004 (10:20 am)
Hi, I'm an owner of a 99 civic ex coupe. sometimes i have 5 people in the car and needless to say, this will affect acceleration/power/handling of a civic. But i was wondering if this puts too much strain on a civic (ie. is it harmful for the car) especially going up the hills in san francisco. i know the car has 5 seats but i get paranoid that i'm overloading and killing the car, although i'm not too mechanically inclined and dont know what consequences it might have, which is why i'd like to hear from you guys.

First don't post in multiple areas. That's a sure way not to get an answer. Now for your answer. Yes you are putting more load on your transmission/clutch, suspension and brakes than someone that doesn't carry a heavy load, but you are not killing your car. It is made to carry people. The fact that you live in a very hilly city and carry a heavy loads will mean some parts will wear out quicker than someone that doesn't drive under your conditions. It's a car, so enjoy it and carry your friends or let them drive and carry you. Then you will save gas and wear on your car.
#1177 of 9185 hey thanks by sf24 Aug 16, 2004 (12:43 pm)
thanks bd21. if it's just normal wear and tear i dont mind. just didnt want to overstrain it and kill something prematurely.

Replying to: sf24 (Aug 16, 2004 10:20 am) Check the maximum load listed for your vehicle. It would be on the plackard in the door jamb. I believe it is somewhere near 700 lbs, so if you have 5x200 lbs people in it then you are overloading it. It is not the number of people, but the weight of the load that matters.
#1179 of 9185 RE-Re: civic load capacity [sf24] by blueiedgod by bd21 Aug 17, 2004 (11:02 am)
You are correct! Not exceeding your load capacity is the way to go. My 04 Civic is rated for 850 pounds for all passengers and cargo. Make sure your trunk is empty and that you are not carrying Jared before he started eating at Subway.
#1180 of 9185 Just bought 04 LX by hdg Aug 19, 2004 (4:54 am)
My husband and I just bought a 2004, LX 4 dr sedan, automatic this past Saturday. I bargained it down via internet and phone from the MSRP with destination of $16650 to $14,700 with destination. Invoice was $14,771 plus destination. Once we got to the dealership, my husband took over negotiations. They cut their dealer/doc fee in half to $250. The car already had pinstriping, mud guards, cargo tray and net and said they would give us all of those upgrades for $300 but thankfully my husband said no deal so they ended up just throwing them in. I would have liked to have gotten it the price down to $14,400 including dedstination especially with them still charging us a dealer fee but they ended up giving us $2000 in trade for my husbands crappy 1999 Taurus with 100,000 miles on it that we had to have towed the day before. My husband beat the heck out of that car and it was worth about $900 with nothing wrong with it and it needed $1200 minimum just to get it running again. I was pleased overall. We got to the dealership - Palm Harbor Honda in Palm Harbor, Florida which is in the Tampa Bay area - and we were in and out in less than 2 hours. We dealt with the internet manager and it was relatively hassle free. The beat every price in the area. Bummer that they only had 2 colors left in the LX sedan, auto - white and shoreline mist metallic so now I drive a Grandma beige car but I'm okay with it. I wasn't willing to pay $500 more plus lose the higher trade amount to get magnesium metallic. There was only one in that color in the area. Replies to this message: hdg (Aug 22, 2004 7:59 am)
