We got the following deal yesterday at Sloan Honda in Philadelphia: $17,001.00 LX Sedan with Automatic (incl.destination) +$1,020.06 6% sales tax + $178.94 Tag/Doc fees ---------- $18,200.00 Out-the-door The invoice on the car works out to: $16,944.00 +$1,016.64 6% tax + $178.94 Tags & Doc fees --------- $18,139.58 I think this is a reasonable deal especially given the fact that we spent all of 20 mins "negotiating", an activity I am not a big fan of. Hope this helps others. |

Hello all: My last purchase was a 2000 Mazda MPV. At that time, what I did after deciding on the vehicle was email every Mazda sales manager within 100 miles stating what I was looking for. I eventually made a deal with a Mazda dealer about 80 miles away. The manager sent me a faxed offer with everything included. I accepted and arranged an appointment to pick it up. I arrived with a certified check for the exact amount quoted and drove away with a new vehicle. Everything worked smoothly and I avoided all the interaction with sales people. Do you posters think I can do the same thing with Honda? I'm looking for a Civic EX. I would prefer to buy locally, and if the local dealer is within a couple hundred dollars that's what I'll do. But I've never bought from a local dealer because the out of towners always offer a much lower price. Anything wrong with this strategy? Thanks.

I browsed the forum and took advice as offered. I appreciate input from the group members - it helped a lot! Our Negotiating Results of about 1/2 hour: 2007 Civic LX Auto 4 Door - Royal Blue/Gray Interior Fresh on the Lot - been there a day or two. Edmunds TMV: 18,112  Invoice w/ Dest Charge: 16,291 + 595 = 16,856 MSRP w/ Dest Charge: 17,760 + 595 = 18,355  Our Offer: 17,250. Their Offer: 17,500. Add on: Rear Wing Spoiler, DLR installed for 654. Selling Price: 18,154 Deduct 1000 for trade in. Add 190 for dealer admin fee. KS sales tax: 7.525% = 1305 Total amount due: 18,649 Transferred over old tags. Will need to pay registration separately. We had bought an 06 Odyssey, EX - Leather, with the same dealer and salesman with an offer below MSPR, below Edmunds TMV and they accepted. Really like the dealership. Good people, not a hard sale - but you have to offer low. How many people are buying at MSRP??? Great Forum. Hope my numbers help some folks out. I love the new Civic body style. With the wing - it looks even more like a BMW 325. Way to go HONDA! |

| I'm out here in Iowa. Land of ethanol plants and biodiesel. They say that's the future, but I need a new car now. | |
