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

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 .

One bit of advice is that you can have a better chance of getting the best price if you make it clear you are ready to buy today if you get a price you want. If you tell the dealer it will be several weeks before you buy, they may not be able to give you the best possible price, since who knows what conditions will be in a few weeks? Personally, I never negotiate with a dealer for their best price until I am ready to buy.

Agree with Backy 100% on this. At this time with gas prices spiking every few days, dealers know the economy cars are in great demand and many are bought just as they come off the truck. Best to get your best quotes when you are ready to buy, as most dealers want to make a deal TODAY and have the car off the lot. I've only driven off in a new car once as I like all things done and my insurance in order before I drive off. 90% of the time they have no problem with me coming back to pick the car up in a day or two.
Best to get lowest quotes when you are ready to buy at that moment if the price is in your target range.

Thanks for the advice, I didn't plan on getting quotes till I'm ready to buy anyways, to let them know I'm serious. I am working with a dealership now that is in the process of finding a car that I want and will contact me when it's in. They have been nothing but friendly and helpful to me, even though I told them it will be a few weeks at least before I'm ready to purchase. BTW the dealership is Nourse Automall of Chillicothe, great people, really nice to work with, and have given other family members great deals on their cars. Again, thank you to all of you who have posted as it has made me a smarter buyer!
