Just for everyones information.....Recieved an e-mail from Costco, asking me my experience with the purchase of the Honda Civic EX that I was requesting....Told them that the Honda Costco rep did not deal, was somewhat rude or a care less attitude, in that they don't ever have to deal, since all are now paying MSRP. Told the Costco reply site that Auto Way Honda in Clearwater, Florida should be taken off their list of preferred dealerships that suppose to give something like a deal, even if it were a small one. Told Costco that having this membership with them was Useless for me at this time.....
 
Glad to hear that others are getting some deals on the new Civic...Good luck

Well all took the car out of the Honda of Key Largo lot on Sat. Man what a pleasant experience. For those that live anywhere in Florida, I found out from the sales person that they will deliver the car anywhere in Florida at no additional charge. Those guys there are very nice to deal with and they do not seem to play the other games that dealerships are playing. I think that anyone that contacts them can probably get the car a little under MSRP and not pay all those exhorbarant dealer fees (theirs are about $350 instead of the $500 at other dealerships). And also they are willing to negotiate a little on the price. It is a small little place, but a much better experience than those in the big city.

Help me decide between CIvic & Accord by mendota99

Hi, I commute 170 miles per day on flat terrain. I like my job and I can't move. At 53 years old I like a little comfort but the difference in gas mileage is very real. I have never owned either car but I have test driven both cars for short periods of time. I would appreciate suggestions. Thank you.

If you find the Civic comfortable, you'll save money on the purchase as well as fuel economy. I've owned eight Hondas and they've all been exceptionally reliable. They're just fantastic cars.
 
The Accord has a little more room and more power, but the Civic is plenty adequate for highway driving. I'd go for the Civic.

Can't comment on specific NC market prices, but if you haven't already, I'd strongly suggest checking Edmunds TMV, kbb.com and carsdirect.com for "real" prices. I'd also email EVERY dealer within reasonable distance from you for a quote on all three models.
 
Honestly, I think the Accord LX SE is currently the best deal. I was looking at market values of the Accord for someone else last week and the SE was about $1900 cheaper than the EX and looks identical. The only major difference is the sunroof (EX has, SE doesn't).
 
Of course, for a little less than the LX SE you can get the Civic EX. Great car, better MPG, but also less power and smaller. Depends on what matters the most to you.

Offers with LEASES by imtheish

Hey there all =]
 
I just got a quote back from O'Donnell Honda in Baltimore for a EX with Nav as follows:
 

From your inquiry, I understand you are interested in the 2006 Honda, Civic EX Coupe with navigation. Our Internet price on this vehicle is $20,017 plus $99 processing fee, any options, freight, taxes and tags. Our price is good for 7 days.
 
Offer not valid with any other discounts, coupons or promotions. Prices are not valid on leased vehicles.

 
HUH? What am I missing here? Are they flat out saying that I CANNOT negotiate the price of the vehicle PERIOD? Or that maybe you cannot negotiate the price when you lease through Honda?
 
I've always understood that you negotiate the price as if you are going to buy the car, and then hit them with your plan to lease...
 
Has anyone else seen this?
 
(and FYI, they have not found a buyer on this quote - no way near with $1k over invoice)

That is a sucky reply.
 
I hope I don't get similar ones. Maybe it is negotiable, but they're trying to act like it's not, with hopes that someone will say OK. I went to a dealership tonight, and I was quoted $21,100 for the Honda Civic EX Couple AT with Navigation. They told me that it wasn't negotiable due to the fact that it was "such a hot car." If it is so hot, then why aren't they all gone? Dealers are jerky sometimes.. I say keep looking. I'll wait if I have to, but I am not paying anything above $19500.

The following are excerpts from some email I received from local dealers:
 
First off, I don't have anywhere near enough Civic's on the ground to be steeply discounting them right at this moment. Secondly, I don' t have but just a few coming in for the next couple of months. I don't know why the last 2 allocations were very short on 2006 Civic's. But I believe that if I had 100 of them on the ground right at this moment I could sell everyone of them at nearly list price.
 
   I have received your request for information on the 2006 Civic EX Sedan. We have just received several of these today. The EX is priced at $20407.00 with the deal installed accessories. I would be glad to show you one of these vehicles, but I must tell you that you should act quickly if you are wanting one. These cars do not last long once they come in. We sell them usually within 24-48 hours of receipt. .
 
With both the Civic and the Accord selling as soon as they come in, at sticker price, he feels that it would not be in the dealership's best interest to do so. And to be honest, I have not seen anyone pay less than sticker for any of the new Civics or Accords as of yet.
 
I contacted Mark Roberts and he was very receptive to working with me. Has anyone else had an experience buying from Roberts when you live very far away. I am looking at flying in and driving 700 miles home. Is it worth it?
