#4429 of 7565 After thoughts on new 07 Civic EX MT by pham0167 Oct 10, 2006 (9:38 am)
Finally purchased an 07 Civic EX MT sedan last week, driven it for about 400 miles. Here are some good and bad points I have with the purchase:   It took about one month to locate the vehicle I wanted. I was turned down by banks for a finance so I had to get a 9.09% interest from the Honda Dealership. The finance person says that it's the lowest rate I could get, I replied by saying that a finance person at my bank preapproved me for 7.8%. She responded by saying that she's absolutely sure she can match that rate if I could fax over the approval once I am approved. I also wanted to apply for the new college graduate program, and they denied me by saying that they already sent in the application and was rejected. It was total BS, but by that time, I didn't care anymore, just wanted my car and get out. I didn't have the approval and ended with 9.09. I ended up getting the Civic EX for 19,000 plus a 900 trade-in with a value of 250. I was happy with the price I got for the trade-in. Afterward they lost my check deposit, I had pay 29.00 to my bank to cancel a check that they lost.   As for the car, I've driven it for a week and absolutely love it. Drives very nice and so much better than my 95 Civic. I have found some negatives/positive so far that haven't been mentioned too much. I like a lot that I can open my car trunk with a remote and the moonroof has a tilt or open options. I don't like it that the radio doesn't display song text information when receive FM signals (all other new cars I know of does it). I also don't like the plastic feel of the gear shift, I makes a nice plastic against plastic noise when shifting. I do love the manual transmission, it switches gear smoother than any car I've driven. The gas mileage is great, so far it's about 37 mpg with 60/40 highway/city driving.   Overall, I love the car, I don't recommend any of Honda dealerships in Minneapolis,MN area, they have horrible customer service.   Hope some of that will be helpful to some people.

Replying to: riposte (Oct 10, 2006 10:56 am) They asked for another 500 from my check card to replace the lost check. As for the lost check, they gave me the "option" of cancelling it or not...meaning we don't really care if that lost check is stolen or not as long as we get our money. "If you don't cancel it, then that's fine, but that's your fault if it's stolen out of your bank account"

As a first time car buyer I'm lookin to get the best deal on a Honda Civic LX AT in San Diego area. Any suggestions on dealers and pricing will be greatly appreciated. Any one have any recent experiences buying the same car? If so, please mention the name of the dealership and the price paid. So far, going through the forums 18.5K OTD in CA seems to be the best deal. Please help   Thanks, appreciate it

#4436 of 7565 Re: Good Deal or Bad Deal? Used 2006 Civic EX Auto [mikefm58] by jlerner Oct 10, 2006 (11:23 pm)
Replying to: mikefm58 (Oct 08, 2006 3:53 pm) Yeah, that's a little under what I was figureing, but here's how I did the math in my head.   We'll use your number.   Base vehicle cost for 06' EX AT: $17,000 Wheel Locks: $54 Front Under Spoiler: $349 Rear Wing Spoiler: $499 Side Spoiler: $589 Chrome Exhaust Finisher: $119 Fog Lights: $319 Floor Matts: $99 Trunk Tray: $99   Thus when I totaled it up: $19,127   This does not includ installation costs for the extras. Additionally window tinting was done so the cost would have been a bit above that too.   I paid $18,900 for the car. After going through the numbers and taking into account your feedback it seems like a really good deal.   Thanks again for all the input. I'm deffinatley going to cancel that warranty and the gap coverage. You were right and I can buy a geunine honda care package must less.   Take care and thanks again for the responses!   - jlerner Replies to this message: mfranklin (Oct 11, 2006 6:01 am) ttttvl (Oct 11, 2006 9:27 am)
