Just talked to them I don't see how their prices can be beat. One dollar over invoice, also Grand Honda in Chicago may be as good. Just clicked on the link for Grand Honda that message 13025 listed--thanks for that.
 
Posted this in Accord forum since I am looking at Accord and Civic.

A question about resale price by killerbunny
Oct 23, 2006 (3:00 pm)
Reply
Hello Civic owners:
 
I plan to sell my 2002 Civic, so that I can buy a 2006 Civic. The problem is that I have a crack on my windshield (bottom-right, 1 foot long, cannot be repaired).
 
Shall I replace it and list at a higher price? Or, leave it and list at a lower price? Assuming the difference in asking prices is the cost to replace the windshield. Which way gets the car sold faster?
 
Thank you for your suggestions!

Without a doubt, get it fixed. A potential buyer will look at that and wonder what else might be wrong that you didn't get fixed.

Used 06 Si for $20,700 before TTL how'd I do? by mhattrup

I just purchased a slightly used 06 Si (1165 miles) tonight. The car had been sold 3 weeks ago to an older couple (my age they traded it in on a CRV. The car was placed in the Honda certified used car program which pushed its B2B warranty to 4yr 48K and drive train to 7yr 100K. They wanted $21,865 and I got it for $20,700 before TTL. Then they trotted out the extended B2B for ~$1000 which pushes it to 7yr 100K. They said if it were new it would cost $2000+ I was still on the fence until he said I could cancel it and get a pro-rated refund so I said yes.
 
I also got a 3 day return period which I might have to use because my wife hasn't even sat in one (Yes she knew I was buying it:-). I've been looking a long time and my 99 Passat has been adding to a list of issues that may approach $1000+ to address so when I found this I told her I might buy this and then trade it for a new Nissan Altima when it comes out. I told her I figured the most I'd lose is around $1000 if I did the deal right and the Passat was going to cost that much to fix anyway so she agreed with my logic... We'll see how tomorrow goes! I also need to drive it a bit more as the dealership was really stingy with the Si test drive (no highway so I couldn't gauge the road noise - and there is some).
 
If the car is a good one I plan to let my daughter drive it in 4 years when she gets her license. So if I start taking grief about my new RED Toy I'll just tell em I'm borrowing my daughters car!
 
Price breakdown
$20,700 (about $1500 over new invoice)
$9 title transfer
$80 license registration
$1866 WA state tax
6.50 misc fees
1037.50 extended B2B warranty
$35 doc fee
$23,734 Out the door
 
So how'd I do? Should I keep the extended warranty? My Passat has made me keenly aware of the high cost of repairs...

interesting ... this is a matter of "what's it worth to you."
 
IF you paid full MSRP for a brand new one with zero miles, it would have cost you $985 more. In addition, you can get the 7/100k mile warranty with $0 deductible (you did get $0 deductible, right?) online for $825 (http://www.jayhondacare.com/Civic.htm).
 
SO, you paid $212 more on the warranty and saved $985 on the car, for a net savings of $773. Is it worth $773 to you to give up nearly 1200 miles that were driven in god-only-knows what manner? If so, then you did fine.

You math matches mine - $657 over invoice. In a lot of places it is hard to get ANY discount off of MSRP - and some dealers are packing on the accessories to drive the price over MSRP. Getting $1,150 off and paying $657 over invoice sounds pretty good to me - as long as they do not stick any high dealer or doc fees on top of the price.

Call your insurance company, there is a real good chance this will be covered fully or at least partly by them. In any case, get it fixed and the car will sell easier.

MSRP on a new, 0 mile 2007 Si is $21,685. So for my money no way would *I* pay $20,700 for a used car - I don't care who they said purchased it and who they said drove it and for how long - if it were previously titled it is a USED car. They are NOT that hard to find - take it back and get a new car. My first S2000 had almost the same about of miles on it, but I paid around 76% of MSRP for mine and not the 95% you did.
 
From Bernardi online HondaCare you can get an 8yr/120k/$0 warranty for $876, 8yr/100k/$0 is $776, 7/120k/$0 is $796, and 7yr/100k/$0 is $696.
 
So take it back and unwind the whole deal. Go take a nice test drive to be sure it is for you, then if so find and buy a new one. Who knows, you may be able to get something off of MSRP. Then get the HondaCare online for cheap.
