#6603 of 9208 2008 4DR EX Auto by mycivicduty Feb 29, 2008 (11:59 am)
Here is my Civic story, closed the deal last weekend. I’m just going to list the price for the car – the OTD (Doc/Title/Taxes) price can vary so much by region.   I was looking for a 2008 4 Door EX Civic Automatic   Started my negotiating using the Internet. I received three quotes from local Honda dealers:   $18,499 $18,690 $18,590   Doc and Title Fees range from $206 to $399 in my area.   After meeting in person, I received a quote for $18,395.   Another dealership beat it with an $18,200, and that was the offer I took (That beat my personal target of $18,300 after reading this forum for two weeks)   Tricks and notes::   Online inventory – if your dealership has it, look at it daily, it took two days for my car to drop off. Handy to see if cars are moving. When you start going below invoice price, you will start to get the “we have to pay our bills” speech and the “I’ve never sold a car below invoice” Pick 3 colors that you like – and don’t ask in preference order when they check their stock. Have your own financing, sell your car on your own, wait till the end of the month (Blah, Blah, Blah, you’ve all read that before) The dealerships are trying not to look desperate. They won’t come out and say sales are really bad. They seem to do the opposite and not want to bargain unless they really have to. Also, if you want to use a dealer’s internet price in negotiations against them, have your friend (not roommate) submit the bids – most dealerships have a tracking system to see what you have been told already. Especially if you go through a web based quote and have to put your phone number. I was told holdback was only 2% and not 3% - probably smoke and mirrors – but I thought I would mention it.   Oh - and the car is great! Replies to this message: risser09 (Mar 01, 2008 10:24 am)

Replying to: mycivicduty (Feb 29, 2008 11:59 am) good job! I'm sure you read my lengthy post about my buying experience for a Black Civic EX Auto 2008. $18,500 + 6% Tax + $150 tag/doc/title. Took the 2.9% presidents day financing.   btw, got 95 miles on less than a quarter tank on a recent trip.
#6606 of 9208 2008 Civic LX Automatic by howdeydodat Mar 03, 2008 (8:35 am)
My thanks to everyone. After reading through this forum, I received Internet quotes from a few dealers in my area (Central NJ) including one seemingly crazy quote of $15,749 (not including dest, TTL, etc). This was $250 lower than the next lowest quote. Of course, when I tried to verify what was in stock or even contact the salesperson that I received the quote from they were never to be found. I printed out the email and took that quote in to another dealer (strangely enough the one I had received the highest internet quote from) and they proceeded to match it. I was absolutely amazed. What kind of holdback do they have on Hondas? It didn't seem to be much from what I've been reading but clearly they couldn't have made any money if there wasn't a hefty sum.
#6607 of 9208 Honda Civic Sedan SI + Nav Quotes in ATL by tyrael Mar 04, 2008 (11:28 am)
I just received four quotes from various dealers: The only specific that I asked was for the Galaxy Gray Color.   $21,695 at Ed Voyles Honda ($2,000 off MSRP) --> +600 over Edmunds TMV $22,695 at Team Honda ($1,000 off MSRP) $23,060 at Curry Honda ($630 off MSRP)   What do you guys think? I was looking for a lot lower actually after a friend of mine was telling me that the Sedan SIs aren't selling well and that the dealerships are really trying to sell them. These deals just seem like the normal run of mill offers. Replies to this message: tiff_c (Mar 04, 2008 11:33 am)

Replying to: tyrael (Mar 04, 2008 11:28 am) If it helped at all I paid $21,000 even, not including Title or registration (we don't have tax in my State).' If I had wanted to hardball them I could have had the car OTD for $20,500. I wanted a car that day and figured I could take the $500 hit This was Autofair Honda in Manchester, NH for a 2008 Honda Civic Si. Shame it wasn't in the blue but the color is like a greyish gold, it's ok, very stealthy. The car runs like a dream.
