#6898 of 7392 2008 Civic Sedan EX-L/Auto/With Nav by carcrzy Jun 01, 2008 (10:01 am)
Last night I purchased this in Galaxy Gray for $21,545 from internet sales manager Patti B**** at Larry Miller Honda of Hillsboro (Oregon). I did not deal with anyone else at the dealership. She was friendly and professional. I drove the EXL and Si. Although the Si was "peppy", I did not find it was as "lightning quick" as some folks have posted. Patti told me that I was getting this deal because it was the last day of the quarter.   I had shopped around online in the Portland Metro area and found that Civic prices continue to be on the rise.   Vehicle Price. $21,545 Title,Registration and doc fee. $218   2008 Civic Sedan EX-L/Auto/with Nav. O.T.D = $21,763   Note: No sales tax in Oregon.
#6899 of 7392 Tempe Honda--A gem of a dealership by vegasvice99 Jun 01, 2008 (10:25 am)
I just finished my purchase of a new Honda Civic LX Sedan AT from Tempe Honda. It was my best car buying experience ever--and this in my 8th new car. I negotiated my price with Aaron of the Internet and Fleet Department at Tempe Honda. In contrast to the other dealers in the greater Phoenix area, Aaron was very responsive to inquiries I made and did it without any high pressure tactics. Tempe Honda gave me the best price on the Civic and beat all the other Phoenix area dealerships and the Las Vegas dealerships I negotiated with. Because I live in Las Vegas, I flew down to Phoenix to pick up the car. Aaron volunteered to pick me up at the airport and was right on time when my plane got in. When we arrived at the dealership, the paperwork and my car were ready and, more importantly, everything was just as I had been promised. I provided them with the check for the price of the car and was in and out of the dealership in less than an hour--and was treated professionally at every step of the way. I drove the car back to Las Vegas and everything looks good, including an actual miles per gallon on the trip of 36 miles--pretty close to the mileage that Honda promotes for highway driving. I would highly recommend Tempe Honda if you want a no hassle car dealing experience. The price was under invoice and the added service, including airport pick up, a full tank of gas and the no hassle experience was well worth the price particulary when compared with the true market price for the Phoenix area that is quoted on the Edmunds site.

Replying to: vegasvice99 (Jun 01, 2008 10:25 am) Interesting...last year I spent months from May to Aug 31st trying to purchase a new Honda Civic LX 4dr Sedan AT in Phoenix. I went through the internet and also went to the dealerships directly and was treated terribly. The Tempe internet sales person was not rude to me as the other dealerships were, but they were not willing to negotiate any type of reasonable price. I could not get an out the door price from any of the dealerships through the internet and when I went to the dealers directly they were quoting me thousands above msrp. I ended up going to Hardin Honda in Anaheim Ca. I could not have had a better experience. I also flew in, they picked me up at the airport, I paid cash (cashiers check) and was out the door. The tank was full and after a day at Disneyland drove back to Phoenix and did not have to fill up once on my way back. I will never again attempt to buy another Honda from ANY dealer in Phoenix. I have never been treated so badly when trying to purchase a car. I had researched the car, the price and had the range I was willing to pay. One dealership actually called me crazy and that I would never get the car I wanted for that price. They were wrong! After ten minutes on the internet, two emails to Hardin Honda and one phone call later, I had exactly what I wanted for the price I wanted to pay. The 07 and 08 are basically the same. What was your out the door price for your LX?? Please break it down... Your Price $ + tax + Documentation Fee + anything extra you paid for = Your total Out the Door price. I am curious to compare what I paid in Ca.

Replying to: backy (May 31, 2008 5:35 pm) I know yikes! but the lease I saw wanted $2,000 and $200 per month so the first year I would down $2,400 if i did that instead of just driving my truck.   I will however end up buying a fuel efficient car as the days of trucks like mine or soon to be over. I want that Civic diesel hatch!!   Anybody have prices for an LX coupe in say Chicago or Atlanta?
#6902 of 7392 Don't Buy from Autowest Fremont by sonofland Jun 02, 2008 (3:01 pm)
I am currently in a market for Civic Si Sedan w/o Navi and got a price quote from a dealer close to invoice. So I called up Ali Hashemi the internet sales manager from Autowest Fremont and he said he can match up the price with quote I've got from other dealership.   I drove up to them and test drove it and right before I want to purchase the car my friend found a scratch on the car. So I told the salesman that I will wait for there next shipment (since Ali Hashemi wasn't there). But, he told me I should contact Ali Hashemi instead since he is the manager.   Today, I contacted him and try to follow up the order. But, I got yelled at because according to Ali Hashemi the scratch can't be seen......and I asked him when is their next shipment gonna be? He replied "This is the only car we have, you can either buy it or walk away from it, there is no next shipment..." That's the worst sales experience I have had so far.   Don't buy from them, they just don't know how to respect their costumers.

Replying to: sonofland (Jun 02, 2008 3:01 pm) I don't think they should have yelled at you, but the price given for a car sitting on the lot that you have test driven would be something that should be expected to honor. To wait weeks or months for another car to come in and then expect it at the same price is something they probably would not want to do.   A lot of cars get damaged at the factory and in transit and get touched up and you would never know it. Heck, take the 'vette plant tour in Bowling Green and they have a whole touch up department fixing paint flaws in various parts that were detected before the part was put on the car.   If the scratch is small it may can be easily and quickly repaired so you will never know it is there. I would have pointed it out to them and told them I would take the car once they had that fixed to my satisfaction - if they have no other cars on the lot to sell you - or just go inspect the one at the other dealership and buy that one if it is "perfect".   I can't see them giving you a good price on one to come in and sticking to it, what it that one also has a scratch?   Either get them to fix the scratch or just go get the car from the other dealer.   There is never an excuse for rude behavior, however.   Dennis Replies to this message: ruking1 (Jun 02, 2008 3:33 pm) sonofland (Jun 02, 2008 11:32 pm)

Replying to: dwynne (Jun 02, 2008 3:19 pm) I'd rethink the situation if you really want that specific car. Is it really worth your time to search all the other places to get a price close to invoice for a literally HOT car? It would be, if below invoice is in the cards!! Part of the gig would be for them to fix the situation to your satisfaction as the above poster has covered.
#6905 of 7392 Re: Don't Buy from Autowest Fremont [dwynne] by sonofland Jun 02, 2008 (11:32 pm)
Replying to: dwynne (Jun 02, 2008 3:19 pm) Dennis,   Yah, I understand that I may not be able to get the same price for their next shipment (and I didn't even have a chance to mention the price issue). His instant reaction was like "No, we don't have any more cars, this is the only car we have". Seriously, there is no way I can settle it, his attitude was "buy it or get away". I would definitely consider it if they can fix it or patiently explain to me like you did . Anyhow, I am sure that I won't be Autowest Fremont's customer I mean their customer service was horrible. I felt like I have to beg them to sell me the car, even though I am paying 20k (big bucks for student ). BTW, for those who are interested I got a quote of $20,299 for Civic Si Sedan w/o navi and including destination charge. OTD should be $20,299 + 10% tax & doc fee in Alameda county.

Replying to: dwynne (May 16, 2008 11:15 am) Hello Dennis,   I go to atlanta quite often, would you give me an OTD estimate of 2008 Honda Civic EX? I am very interested in buying one. Replies to this message: dwynne (Jun 03, 2008 7:33 am) dwynne (Jun 04, 2008 11:36 am)
#6907 of 7392 comments on Ohare in Chicago by airbum Jun 03, 2008 (7:31 am)
Hi, I just got a quote of $16,298 for a 08 Civic Coupe LX with auto. Silver/gray colors from Ohare in Chicago. When I asked the local dealership match the price they said they couldn't because most likely this was a damaged car in transit ie frame damage etc. The local dealership said this car couldn't be sold at regular dealerships. I suspect this is not true. Sooooo I was interested in hearing any good or bad stories about Ohare since I would be flying in to buy the car. BTW the local dealership wants $18,100 for the same car.
