We just picked up an LX Coupe in Automatic - white in color. Solicited bids from around 25 dealers in Atlanta area and ended up getting it from Heritage Honda in Rome. Very pleasant to deal with and very honest. They're also the only dealer we got a hold of that had the hybrid in stock, but we decided to go w/ the regular. Anyway, our price OTD was 18.6k (7% tax here), including the all season rubber mats. I'm pretty pleased. Very very happy with the car. I had a 97 Civic and it's worlds apart. I also have an E46 M3 'vert and I wasn't nearly as disappointed in the ride as I thought I would be (it's going to be the wife's commuter). 2.9% financing is a steal too. Why pay cash when it's practically free money? No brainer all around. |

| I used this site during my shopping for the past three months and it was very helpful in determining the real world prices for the civics. I bought one yesterday in Fontana CA at Rock Honda and was very happy with the deal. Have seen the dealers take advantage of the gas hype in the past month by jacking the prices up. My local dealer gave me the same BS that I got from many others about the limited inventory, high demand, blah blah blah, and would not budge from 900 over invoice. I talked to at least 20 dealers in the northern and southern Ca area and got the same story from about 75 percent of them. I did and internet price request through this site and was called within 10 minutes by Chris R from Rock Honda in Fontana CA with a price. The car is an 08 Civic coupe with auto, Blk/Blk, no other options or add ons. The numbers are as follows 18669 plus fees which were 1357 Ca tax, 55 doc, 192 lic./ OTD 20302. No games, No hassles, offered the ext warr, and gap coverage but one no was the last word on the subject. Friendly and informative sales rep and a nice facility. Kept waiting for the rabbit in the hat but there was none. Drove 200 miles for the deal but well worth the end result. The new car rocks. | |

MSRP 18390 price: $16273 OTD: 17865 (8.25% tax, $55 doc fees, etc) It's what I paid 13 days ago. not sure if the price is still the same now. Manly Honda in Santa Rosa |

I don't understand how can some Honda dealers ask for MSRP for the 2008 Civic? They claim low inventory but almost all the dealers have at least a dozen of them in stock. There is no waiting list for the Civic. I know some dealers even hide some Civic in the back and only show 2-3 to the customers at a time. Beware smart shoppers!!!

Replying to: suio (Jun 22, 2008 5:04 pm) Why not? They are well worth MSRP. Used 2007's are selling at auction for MSRP now. " All of the dealers have at least a dozen of them in stock" So what? A dozen Civics is nothing even for a low volume dealer. A lot of stores don't have ANY at this point! And what are they 5 speed coupes that don't sell well? " I know some dealers even hide some Civics in the back" Yep, it's a conspiracy. That's for sure! I'm raking no pleasure in this situation and mis-information doesn't help matters.

Replying to: backy (Jun 22, 2008 8:30 pm) At a recent Honda auction 2007 Civics were getting 2008 MSRP prices from dealers. These dealers will then have to pay to transport them, inspect them and they will mark them up from there. I've never seen a market turn like this. And, you're right. The market will always determine prices. |
