#721 of 9208 Question on Price Matching & CarsDirect by ceyan Dec 03, 2003 (9:55 am)
I'm planning on buying a new 2004 Civic EX w/SRS within the next month or two. My local dealer price matches, all I have to do is bring them in a price quote. I was wondering if anyone had tried price matching from outside of the state, whether that worked or not? The cheapest I found (at the moment) is 17772, which is pretty good, but I figure if I can't get better quote from out of state, go for it.   The other question I had was about Carsdirect.com. I just checked their website from a reference here, so I don't know anything about them. And their listed price for the Civic is around 17500, so I was curious how reliable they are?

I paid 16800 with everything for the same vehicle in Rallye Red (5-spd) that included all taxes, license, title, etc...i got a good job. Don't hesitate to go to multiple dealers and KNOW THE CAR and get a TMV from Edmunds before you go in.

I am about to buy my first car, but I am not too great at this negotiation part. I got offered 16,652 as the sales price for an 04 EX Civic. I can't get them to budge and haven't found a better deal at other dealerships around Tulsa. Anyone have any suggestions?

You need to spell out what the price quote was for i. e. automatic, side air bags, etc. If that price is for an automatic, write a check because that is way under invoice.

Like bd21 mentioned is it auto or manual, 2 door or 4 door, side air bags or not, options?   Use Edmund's TMV for the exact car you are purchasing.

Sorry about the specifics! Its for a 4-door automatic sedan with side airbags. No additional options, just sunroof/moonroof, factory cd, floormats, cargonet. Its also the magnesium metallic color.

I guess what I am really wondering is if the invoice price listed on Edmunds is actually what the dealer paid for it, or is it a price they use for negotiations purposes? They told me the car is priced at $199 over net, but what does that mean? Or where should I look for that information? I appreciate any advice.

The price you are quoting is less than the dealer paid for the car, so I think you may not have the correct figure for the car. Edmunds' prices are correct and are as follows: 2004 Civic EX 4-door, automatic with side air bags invoice is $16,732, plus an additional $490 for shipping. There is a 3% dealer holdback on the base price of the car only, but not on the shipping. It is extremly rare for the dealer to let a car go at invoice including shipping or less. Plus you have to add shipping, which you have to pay no matter what which is $490. If the dealer simply gave you the car as it was dropped off the delivery truck, it would have cost them $16,720.04. So if the dealer didn't want to pay for any of his overhead and was hell-bent on going out of business, he only lost $68.04 by selling you this car for the $16,652 that you say he quoted you. Like I said, run back there as fast as possible and write a check, but I kind of doubt your numbers will match up when you go back there. Keep us posted, you have our attention.
