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.
#731 of 9204 My '04 Civic EX Auto purchase... by miester_v Dec 18, 2003 (11:58 am)
Well, I recently made a purchase of a brand new 2004 Honda Civic EX coupe with AT for a purchase price of $16,581 including destination and documentation charge. Is that a good deal?   However, it doesn't really matter overall because we got a APR of 9.0 and we got scammed into purchasing a $1500 warranty for Honda Care which was not verbally or visually disclosed to us. But we can always cancel the warranty and get that amount subtracted from the finance amount. Once that happens, I should be pretty satisfied with the amount that we've paid. Just for reference, we paid $7000 down and we have a credit score of 540. I hope our APR wasn't too inflated, if at all.
