Replying to: coolchid (Mar 29, 2006 2:20 pm) Which dealer did you buy from and would you recommend your salesperson? I'm in AZ and I'm currently shopping for a Civic.   Thanks! cfeuery Replies to this message: coolchid (Mar 30, 2006 11:33 pm)

Replying to: cfeuery (Mar 30, 2006 11:05 pm) Hi cfeuery, I made my deal with Tempe Honda. This is the second car that I have bought from this gentleman and have found him to be exactly that - no high pressure tactics, etc.     I think it is against forum rules to give contact info on the forum, but you can contact me by e-mail.   Good luck in your search!   Norah
#3368 of 7390 I'll never understand... by isellhondas Mar 31, 2006 (8:35 am)
Why some people only concentrate on how much evil profit a dealer is making?   Cars sell for what the MARKET VALUE is. the invoice has nothing at all to do with anything. The car is either represents a good value or it does not. If a person is obsessed with paying invoice for a car, there are cars out there that sell for that. Buy one of those cars and be happy! Of course, you may not like that car, and it may depreciate like a rock.   And,I get so weary about hearing about holdback. Some people talk about holdback like it's bottom line profit.   It isn't and those who want to bring up holdback should look at a dealer's P& L statement some time and look at the TREMENDOUS expenses that are required to open the doors every month!
#3369 of 7390 only $1000 by rutger3 Mar 31, 2006 (8:37 am)
question to:thebill,   If like you said it is only $1000 or pennies a day, then why don't you sell it for $1000 less. This would get you a new customer that otherwise will buy from another dealer or another salesperson. You would then have another civic on the road advertising for you, the service dept will make some money,and you will have a new customer to add to your database. Good for you, the dealer,honda, and the buyer. A win win. Again , it is ONLY $1000, just pennies a day,so why not just do it.

Replying to: rutger3 (Mar 31, 2006 8:37 am) let me ask you this, if pennies a day was all it took to get what you wanted, would you spend it or buy a Chevy Cobalt?   being 1000 dollars apart on a deal on a Pilot is ALOT different than a deal on a civic.   as isell has eluded to....the market is sky high on civics right now, I just visited a dealer about 2 hours away from me and their civics are MSRP only. Ours should be too, but we will work with people.   Sure, you can wait 6 mos and try to get one later, news flash, what you want may not be there and you may end up paying for something you dont want while everyeone else is enjoying the vehicle that you wanted.

#3371 of 7390 Pennies a day... really add up.. by kyfdx HOST Mar 31, 2006 (10:42 am)
Just look!!.. pennies a day on that Civic loan?... add up to $1000 in only five years!!   Profits may be debateable.. but, $1000 is $1000.. Pennies a day? That is just a weak argument.. I agree.. if it is a neglible amount, just lower your price and make the deal.. Funny how the $1000 is important to the dealer, but shouldn't be important to the buyer.   Also, if holdback doesn't help you make a profit, then why not dip into it and lower your price that much more? I mean, if it isn't worth negotiating over, then you must not need it... I mean.. floorplan interest on each car is only... wait for it..   Pennies a day!!   The market is the market... Civics aren't going for invoice... At some point in the future, they are likely to.. A great little car.. but a commodity vehicle, nonetheless.. If you have to have it now, you'll have to pay the price... If you can wait, you'll probably pay less... Just another choice that you have to make.   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: ruking1 (Mar 31, 2006 10:57 am)

Replying to: thebill (Mar 31, 2006 9:15 am) That's the whole thing... I'm not obsessed with having a Civic. If I had to have it right now I probably would have caved but I'm trying to get a good deal on a new car, and there are several types that I am interested in. I actually wanted to get an Accord but it was my wife who liked the Civic better. Even though the Accord is more expensive overall I can at least deal on it and get more car for my money. You are right about the market being sky high on Civics right now, and that is probably why my chances of buying one just went way down.

Replying to: kyfdx (Mar 31, 2006 10:42 am) I think you really hit the nail on the head as other posters have about the market. The 2006 Honda Civic deserves all the "buzz" it generates or has generated. I think it is truly up to one (the market) to define what one wants, needs, etc,. in vehicles. So for example I got a below invoice price on a 2004 Honda Civic (longer in the tooth)last gen. So for a plain vanilla 50 mile per day R/T commute, I asked myself if the 5,266 premium 2006 Civic vs 2004 Civicc would allow me to do this commute, with any parameter; better. The answer in my case is and was no. So if I take that $5,266 and use it in the commute that converts to (2.50 per gal 37 mpg 2106 gals or) 77,937 miles or almost 6 years of commuting. This of course does not include how much it would cost extra to borrow 5,266 for however long and at whatever rate.
#3374 of 7390 I had a 2006 at invoice... by gee35coupe Mar 31, 2006 (11:58 am)
I had signed all paperwork besides the contract. the F&I guy ticked me off and I walked. I really want/ed a Civic. I'm totally over it now. I may check back in 2007 but my 1996 EX seems to be all the car I need for now. Considering it's my third car in the stable right now. Replies to this message: lightfootfl (Apr 02, 2006 9:18 am)
