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. | |

Replying to: chrisp81 (Mar 22, 2007 8:27 am) The fact of the matter is that your industry marks up car price so much and deliberately make the car buying process difficult for everyday buyer to decipher. The customer service and consumer experience for this process won't satisfy anyone. Due to lack of a transparent car buying process, the price is the only thing that's worth to look at. Thank God for the Internet!

Replying to: brw115 (Mar 22, 2007 7:50 am) I decided not to shop the other 3 dealers who would price over email. I had considered it, but thought - if I went back to the same salesman will they "pay" me back for the repeat business? If internet sales is only going to re quote MSRP - what's the point? Based on responses in the forum, it does sound like some internet sales does get positive results. I have not bought many cars, but consider Honda a fair dealer. Other "American" dealers have tactics which drive me crazy. I loved reading through the undercover salesman blog on Edmunds. In the end I want to feel like I'm not being taken for a ride. I want a good deal. Now I know MSRP is a bunch of hooey and will always undershoot the price. Obviously most people fear the negotiations. With these forums people can at least know what the dealer/salesman is willing to take. I don't get to haggle many other prices. A load of bread costs me what they sell it for. I don't get to barter for that. Though, the price of vegetables is about double here right now - guess what - we don't buy the high priced food either.  Second day in the Civic and it's a blast! |

If I didn't buy the car from the dealer, but rather the dealer a few blocks away - will they still give me the same quality of service if I had bought from the dealer? Give me a break on the scheduled service price - being a repeat and loyal customer - and then I'll feel like I'm getting served. |
