#6503 of 9207 New 2008 Civic LX Sedan Auto by chocoboneko Jan 20, 2008 (8:49 am)
I'm totally new at car buying and I'm from illinois. Yesterday my mom and I went to our local honda dealer in chicago to go look at the civic lx and they've technically sold us the car but it was too late to do all the finance and payment talk because they were closing. The deal we got was $16000 before taxes and stuff and they threw in a year of free oil changes and I'm wondering if that's a good deal. I also would like to know how much fees should I be expecting aside from tax. Also, should I consider going out into the suburbs to get a cheaper sales tax rate, because our chicago tax rate is 9% and the suburbs would be a less. What I don't know is if the same tax rate applies or not to car buying, to my knowledge it doesn't.   I feel bad since we would have blown off the dealer we were talking with but we didn't consider the tax rate and the tax would be a few hundred less.

Replying to: chocoboneko (Jan 20, 2008 8:49 am) Sounds like a good price on the car. Sales tax is based on your residence - not where you purchase the car. Make sure the dealer does not charge you much for all the "stuff" on top of the $16,000. Any more than $50 or so (not including sales tax) is pure profit.
#6506 of 9207 New 2008 Civic Si by tiff_c Jan 21, 2008 (12:51 pm)
We picked one up almost 2 weeks ago. Price we paid was $20,999 OTD. We have no sales tax and the dealer charges $399 for documentation and the like. They were really helpful and I still think it was a good price. Basically $500 over invoice plus their doc fees. I had to buy soon, so no choice there. My wife absolutely loves the car over anything else we looked at. We did beat the Edmunds TMV price, so we are happy about that and we are very happy with the Internet manager, that we dealt with. I guess we could have nickeled and dimed them on the price a bit but they were light years ahead of the other dealership that was local to us. I wanted an Accord but my wife didn't so we now have the Civic Si. Great car, good price, great dealership so far. AutoFair Honda in Manchester, NH in case anyone wants to know.

#6507 of 9207 2008 Hond Civic EX w/AT by hendry Jan 21, 2008 (5:48 pm)
I just drove off with a new Civic Coupe EX w/AT here in SE Pennsylvania.   Price paid-18700 Tax-1120 Tags-165 Total OTD 19987   I'm satisfied that I got a good deal. I based my price on 7% off the total MSRP which I've used as a baseline in the past( I've bought or co-signed for 4 Civics in 8 years), and it's always been accepted.

Replying to: chocoboneko (Jan 20, 2008 8:49 am) Which dealership did you go to? I'm in the process with negotiation via email on 5 dealers. $16000 sounds great but I know most of the dealers in Chicago don't include destination or documentary charge in that figure. Which would be about $800 more. So it depends what they include in your price. I make sure they include dest charge and documentary charge in their quote. You also might have other small fees in comparison then the 9% tax then whatever it costs for your registration. I'm looking outside the Chicago area as well and so far they can't make as good of offers to me and I'd still have to pay the Chicago tax.

Replying to: jackmeof (Jan 01, 2008 9:06 am) It's very common for a dealer to give you very low price and bump up your interest rate. Honda has a special financing on the 2008 Civic back in Dec 2007 (ended Jan 2nd 08) the promotion was 4.9% for up to 60mo I got a LX Auto for my friend for $18150 OTD (8.25% tax included) and his payment is around $342.00 $0 down for 60mos However, i have to say that your deal is still a smoking deal... if you can pay off the loan now, you will end up paying less than my friend. Good Job
