I started shopping in October and considered Sonata v6, Mazda3 2.0, Fusion I4, Camry I4, Corolla, and Civic. Narrowed down to Mazda 3 and Civic although the first Honda dealer didn't give me a test drive. And the second dealer's salesman didn't allow me to test it on the highway. His reason was, "sorry, this is a brand NEW car" (well, I am considering buying a NEW car) and "it's ten times better than others and we sell 10 times more Civics than the rest in the class". He wants to add $300 above the MSRP, and of course, the interest rate was 6.9% APR (Oct, 2006). This Tuesday afternoon, I decided to get a Mazda 3 2.0. But the dealer didn't have the color I wanted and said they will have it available in a few days. On the way home, I passed by another Honda dealer (not the first two I visited) and there are big read signs everywhere, "come in and get up to $1000 gas car on any 2007 Honda". I pulled over and told a sales that I want to take a look a the new Civic. He did say anything but tossed me the key! I spent about an hour on the road and loved it better than Mazda 3i! After I returned, I asked the sales if it's possible to take $500 off from the MSRP and get the $500 gas-card discount. He said he'd check with the manager. Moment later. I signed the paper and got the deal: Total $1000 off the MSRP plus 4.9% APR finace rate for 48 months. I am 100% satisfied. But probably will never do business with the dealership who didn't allow me to test drive it on the highway because the car was "brand new". I should have tested Accord before getting the Civic. But I am 100% happy with the Civic at the moment. Maybe next time. I also double-checked my Civic, it has 10KM on the Odometer and is manufactured in November 2006, in Canada. It too is a brand NEW car. |

Replying to: isellhondas (Dec 07, 2006 1:46 pm) Paid $3200 and was happy about it... I'd have to agree with those that think that model was the "best".. I'd like to have a '93 stick-shift EX for commuting... What are my chances of finding one? Almost zero..

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 07, 2006 1:59 pm) If you can find one with a stick, it'll be less money because these are hard to sell. We do see rust buckets from back east come in once in awhile and we just wholesale them. Rust just kills a car. When it snows here (not often) they use sand. |
