I've been getting Internet Quotes in the Detroit Area for a Honda Civic Si Sedan (no options). I was quoted an out the door price of $22K by two different dealerships in the Detroit metro area. When I back out the taxes, destination, etc. from this price, this works out to be about $20,100 for the car. Decent price or should I try to do better?

I was quoted $500 over invoice plus dealer fee from one dealer and another dealer quoted me just over invoice INCLUDING the dealer fee. So while you could probably do better, if your dealer fee is not high that is not a terrible price. Keep in mind the Si qualifies for the cheap finance money from Honda, if it is available in your region. (time passes) Sorry, I checked with 48201 ZIP and Edmunds says no cheap money for you. Dennis

I bought a new Galaxy Grey Civic LX 4 door sedan with Manual transmission in the Sacramento, California area recently and thought I'd share some details. I originally wanted to get a Mazda 3i Touring MT, but I found the back seat a little small and the only color available right now is beige, which isn't for me. I'll primarily use this car as commuter car and Consumer Reports said the manual transmission averaged 3 mpg higher than the automatic even though the EPA numbers suggest otherwise. So far, I'm averaging 31 mpg, which matches CU measurements. CU says the auto averaged 28 mpg. I might occasionally haul my kids around, so safety is important to me. The Civic with standard side air bags achieved better gov't and IIHS safety ratings than the Mazda 3i without optional side air bags. This may not be a fair comparison, but Mazda 3i crash data with side air bags isn't available. I wish the LX Civic had alloy wheels and it is cheaper to buy aftermarket wheels than upgrading to the EX or buying alloy wheels from the dealer. The Mazda 3i touring costs a little less the Civic and comes with alloy wheels. 4 wheel disc brakes would be nice too. Here is some pricing info. $ 16281 - Invoice price $ 16066 - price paid ($215 under invoice) $ 55 - doc fee $ 1168 - sales tax (7.25%) $ 175 - CA state license and registration $ 17465 - total -$ 5000 - down payment $ 12465 - amount financed $ 362 - monthly payment at 2.9% for 36 months. Honda is offering special 2.9% financing for 36 months or 4.9% or 60 months in Northern California. 2.9% is cheap money! The dealer was offering an even bigger discount on automatics because manual sedans aren't very common, but the manual feels a little more responsive, is fun to drive and costs less in terms of gas and purchase price. Resale value may be a different matter.... I hope somebody finds this info useful.
