Think you got taken on that alarm & I'd go back and talk with the general manager and call Honda. Seems like a scam to me.

so the alarm for sure is standard equipment? I mean i did argue that the alarm should be included in the sale price... but he gave me some explanation about liability issues of having the alarm activated during shipping or something like that. It sounded convincing enough and we were almost done with paperwork so..

What kind of alarm is the dealer talking about? It's possible they installed an aftermarket alarm on the car to better protect it while it's on the lot. That would be in addition to the alarm that comes from the factory on the EX.
 
If they're talking about a fee to activate the factory-installed alarm, it's bogus from a couple of perspectives: 1) it should be included in dealer prep, which as it says on the window sticker, is included in the vehicle's price, and 2) it would probably take the dealer at most 5 minutes to activate the alarm--assuming it needs to be activated. So that's worth $500?

i dont remember well because my parents were dealing with the salesmen in korean. I remember them saying the alarm has a shock sensor. Also when its locked, a red light blinks in the dash and a bright blue led light blinks to the left of the steering wheel.

Two lights? Then it appears that two alarms are involved here. Maybe a Civic EX owner can tell us if the factory alarm has a shock sensor, and two lights as you described.

Do not buy the extended warranty from any Honda dealer if it costs more than $800. If you must get an extended warranty you can purchase one online for around $750 dollars that covers 72 months/80,000 miles. A lot better deal. And do not go for that "tires for life" program either UNLESS you plan to get ALL your maintenance done at the dealership where you bought your car. After reading all the exclusions and stipulations I cancelled the one I bought knowing I could never keep the terms of the agreement.

I've already purchased my civic and was curious what company you purchased the extended warranty from? I too didn't purchase from dealer.
 
Thanks in advance.

2008 Civic Sedan LX w/Auto Trans Southern California by e163

Purchased by internet from Riverside Metro Honda. $16,147 Including Destination, +Taxes,Fees. Stock LX, no add ons. Great service. Internet sales person communicated all prices (including Out the Door) by email. Plus, got American Honda Financing at 4.49%. I drove 50 miles and it was worth it. Very soft push on the HondaCare warranty. I think you'll be satisfied. I bought an Accord last year from Pasadena and the experience was superior in all respects at Riverside Metro.BTW it was Royal Blue Pearl.

Congrats on the deal. Glad to hear you had such a good buying experience. Who did you work with in Riverside's Internet Department?
 
This appears to be $837 below invoice (incl. destination), according to edmunds.com. What were the additional fees, if you don't mind me asking?
