If you look up the price on Edmunds you will see that the true invoice price is closer to 17,807. However, that is still far away from the 18,700 invoice they are claiming. They are basically trying to sell you a 2007 car for just under invoice which isn't such a great deal because you could get a 2008 for a few hundred more at some dealerships and end up with a higher resale value when you sell it. |

Friends, what are you seeing in the way of added Honda Civic dealer fees? A am not talking about tax & title & tags. In Nothern Ohio, it seems all the dealers (except one) add a $250 "Documentary Fee." This is pretty much across the board, and has the effect of raising the Invoice+Delivery charges by $250. They add it on top of everything. I believe this charge is just padding, but is uniform in this geography, and wonder what others are seeing.

Ask about fees first, then adjust your offer accordingly.. It is strictly a profit center for the dealership. regards, kyfdx

I live in the Buffalo, New York area and have close access to four (4) dealerships (Lia Honda, West Herr Honda, Don Davis Honda and Ray Laks Honda). I'm familiar with the MSRP's, invoice and holdback (2% or 3% of MSRP?) pricing. Invoice is $18,589.57. MSRP is $20,145.00. Both prices include destination. I don't know if the holdback figure is accurate. I'm also waiting until December for any programs that may help my price. My questions are: Is there an additional cost for an "on order" trade, when a dealership trades with another dealership for a car on order that's currently being built but not shipped yet? Does Honda have a history of offering an extra special incentive between Christmas and New Year's? What is a fair, going-rate for the car I'm after? I know it will vary from state-to-state and dealership-to-dealership. I'd like to know what everyone else paid/is being asked to pay for a Civic Coupe EX Auto or similiar vehicle. Should I expect anything close to invoice, especially with gas prices the way they are? Thanks, -Dan |
