Replying to: love_luv (Jul 24, 2008 6:19 am) got an 08 civic 4dr ex auto for 20k OTD two weeks ago from Clinton. I've heard that you might get one for as low as 19,200 and a bit. I just got tired of arguing. the Lehigh Valley, Doylestown, and Phillipsburg Honda dealerships were useless. Be ready for the financing people to try to sell you service contracts, wax and whatnot after you have completed the car deal. |

PLEASE help me on this...I.m ready to buy NOW and I'd like to enlist the help of others who have found good Honda dealers to work with. I'm in the centra Florida area and find the Honda dealers here to be arrogant and unwilling to work with you. I'd like to find a good, honest dealer to deal with and see where their OTD pricing is. I have a very good offer on an '09 Corolla LE-auto ($17,960.00 OTD) and will go with that if I cannot find a Honda that is comparable in price. Unfortunately, I find that the Toyota dealers here are far more pleasant to work with and are willing to give you pricing the way you ask. I have contacted 12 Honda dealers and not one would give a complete out the door price. What's up with that??? So - please recommend a good dealer for me to see and I will be sure to mention your name, so you get a referral gift. BTW - the car I'm looking into is an '08 Civic LX Coupe with automatic - no other options. Thanks. RR in FL

Replying to: kmybean (Jul 15, 2008 7:48 pm) You are correct that I'm in NorCal - Modesto specifically. Contact Sylvia at El Cerrito Honda (it's a mile away from Berkeley). They have been the most competitive. Other than them, Berkeley seemed to want to deal as did Oakland. However, Oakland seems to be a bit scumbaggish but work them and if you're not happy at the dealership, it's easy to leave considering Berkeley and El Cerrito are 3-4 miles away. Also, let me know if you contact El Cerrito and they are higher on quote. Perhaps I could contact them and see what they can do for a referral. My email is mrgabroo2  yahoo.com

Replying to: isellhondas (Jul 24, 2008 4:38 pm) He is asking for help regarding his deal. Although it is at invoice, that doesn't mean he is getting the best deal possible. I got my '08 Civic LX AT in early June for $900 back of invoice while you were posting in this forum that deals like that were impossible. You need to get OFF OF YOUR HIGH HORSE.

Replying to: isellhondas (Jul 15, 2008 2:19 pm) As I have said many times. I wish people would ask family, friends and others for a referral instead of frantically trying to wring the last dollar out of a dealer. You have slimy stores and slimy salespeople who will say anything in order to get a customer in the door. You also have cheap customers who will lie too as they pit dealer against dealer in their frantic zeal to "save" money. As a referral customer, you will be welcomed with open arms and you will be treated well. In the end, you will probably pay no more than you would if you play the game. I despise some of the sales tactics I hear about but quite honestly, In some cases the shoppers almost bring this on themselves. Why are you putting save in quotation marks? Are you implying that one cannot save money by having dealers compete with one another for business? Rather, they should ask for referrals to a dealer and not see what the market may offer currently - sounds ludicrous to me. You "despise some of the sales tactics...but shoppers almost bring this on themselves". True colors revealed. Never does a shopper deserve to be lied to for the sole purpose of having them come to the dealership. Never. Once again - NEVER.

Replying to: mrcoolguy209 (Jul 27, 2008 9:12 am) Back to pricing.....with the model year end it's obvious all manufacturers want to move out 08' stock. As always these vehicles will depreciate quicker once new MY is available. Invoice pricing is and always will be the starting point and better deals are available.

Replying to: mvs1 (Jul 27, 2008 9:44 am) The problem on this board is that 'isell' treats readers of "Honda Civic Prices Paid and Buying Experience" as though they walked onto his lot and he's trying to sell them a car. Of course, the car he is selling is "hot". Once again, this board would be better off if "isell" stopped posting his opinions and stuck to facts. Well that and checking inventory for buyers would be nice.
