Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Honda Civic Prices Paid and Buying Experience

You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
obviously you dealt with an unethical dealer. I would have done the same thing. I was in the same situation, put $300 on a car that I waited a month for. I was afraid the same was going to happen-someone else would offer them more, and then I would lose the deal. I have done business with this dealership before and they took care of me the whole way, and were even willing to pay $850 more to get me a car that was in Utah! I am in Texas. You can bet that when I got the call, I gave my sales guy all "5's". I didn't give the finance manager all 5's though! Another story. The other thing is you can even shop for extended warranties on line. I bought a 6yr/120000 mile warranty for $100 over Hondas price because I knew their price... $755. Just remember, the consumer is still in charge, unless we give them the power.

I received out the door price quote today and I'm trying to figure from your previous posts if this is ok. From what I can tell, it's in the ballpark of a pretty good deal. Any input? 17400 for 06 Civic LX Auto Sedan. I'm negotiating with 3 dealers via e-mail and they have all agreed to that price. |

Okay isell, here is your chance to shine. Is the $17,400 a fair price for both dealer and customer on the LX auto sedan ? If not, what would you consider a fair deal on this car. You know what it cost you and what the sticker is. There are more available now then 3 months ago, yet it still is in fairly high demand. You want to sell cars at a respectable profit and the buyer wants to save as much as they can. There must be some happy medium. BTW, what is the number of civics Honda thinks they will sell this year?

Does anyone know what a decent price is for alloys for the LX sedan if purchased from the dealer? isell, you may know this. If buying a new car at a fair price, should the dealer be willing to give you alloys at cost, or discount?

If anyone out there has purchased a Civic LX Coupe with an automatic transmission lately and can give me some real pricing information, I would appreciate it immensely. I am looking with my daughter and she has it down this and the Scion Tc. Both cars are in high demand with the Scion Tc, having the one price to all policy. I have done for myself and others on previous car purchases and it seems to bare pretty great fruit. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Replying to: rutger3 (Apr 08, 2006 3:35 pm) That would be a VERY good price to pay for a Civic LX. We simply DO NOT have these sitting around in any quanities. Prices vary by market conditions and inventory levels. They are not "more" available than they were three months ago, at least in my neck of the woods and they are in HIGH demand, not "fairly high" demand. Yes, we do want to make a decent profit and we know our buyers want to pay as little as possible. That is a given. I have no idea what Honda's projections are for this year but I do think they were blindsided by the great success and they had no idea Motor Trend would vote the Civics Car of the Year. It's frustrating. |
