I just bought an Black 08' Sedan EX Manual on Long Island for 17500 even. I feel its a pretty good deal (~600 below invoice according to online sources)
 
1.9% financing too

Buy NOW or wait? by chuckworld

Salesman in Memphis (Dobbs Honda Mendenhall) offering 17,0000 plus sales tax and some other fee (I think its an extra 375) for a 2008 Civic LX 4dr auto..
 
Question:
 
I am not a Costco member but I have seen references to that, do you think joining will get me a better deal?
 
Is it worth plunging in now, or would I save a lot more by waiting til later in the summer when the 09 models are announced?
 
Worth shopping at nearby cities like Nashville (200 miles away) or Little Rock (150)?
 
The financing thing expires at the end of the month and we will probably put down bet 8-10 grand and finance the rest. Got a 1996 manual Passport that will bring me (at most) a grand in trade.
 
Loved the idea of getting a Civic Hybrid but can't seem to get the price below 23,500 so that's out. If I could get it down to 21 I'd probably bite but I guess they're just too popular. Only one dealer in Memphis seems to have one and he acts very firm at 23,773 (love that odd number, I guess that smells more 'official')
 
If you were me, what would you do? I'm fairly new to internet shopping tactics

Invoice is $17,064 so $17,000 even is not bad, but "that other fee" is probably their dealer fee which makes your price $250 or so over invoice.
 
I would not think any Nashville dealer would price a Civic that low, most of the dealers around here would not know a low price if it bit them. If you want to drive to Louisville or Atlanta I could probably find you a better price. The GA price might be $500 less, but I would have to ask. Either place might not be worth the drive to save just a little.
 
If you drive your new LX in a frugal manner you will return mileage pretty close to the Hybrid in most driving situations - but you will have several thousand more in the bank to buy gas with. If you drive it stop and go and stop and crawl traffic every day then the Hybrid would return much better MPGs than even a carefully driven LX.

would waiting until the 09s are announced bring about a significant price reduction?
 
Or am I risking dealing with none left?

Here's the thing: With gas prices expected to hit $4.00 per gallon in the next month (washingtontimes.com 05/09) you'll see a surge in sales for fuel efficient cars skyrocket. It has already begun here in the twin cities - high demand is causing a strain on an already low supply (this may be the region, not country wide). Based on current sales numbers there is only about a 27 day supply of Civic's left in the metro area and once they're gone every store in the metro will be out of them for 40 days or so.
 
Long story short, my dealership has told me MSRP only - no discounts. I don't know what the other five stores in my area are doing, but I haven't sold one yet this month (pretty good indication that there are still deals to be found here).
 
Just my .02 Good luck digging for the right deal

Honda Civic EXL Sedan, manual trans by spetrosi

Any one know what is a good Price for a 2008 Honda Civic EXL Sedan, manual transmission, spoilers (front under, lid deck), chrome exhaust, interior gauge trim kit, floor mats, & interior illumination? Honda.com says $22,118 for these accessories. We were offered 21,300 by the dealer... an $800 discount. Is this reasonable?

Honda Civic EX Auto Sdn., Good Price? by 94accord_lover

I am in the market for an EX sedan, and just wondering what would be a reasonable price. Of what I have been reading, It seems 17.5-18k quotes are the norm, which seems like a fair price. I am buying for the first time, I am knowledgeable about the car and what to expect from the dealer, but I don't want to be taken advantage of . I am in Ohio, BTW. I have not asked for any quotes yet b/c it will be at least a few weeks before I purchase, and don't want to seem too antsy to get my new car. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, above and beyond all the great advice I've gotten from ya'll posting about your buying experiences .
