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.

Replying to: mrcoolguy209 (Jul 27, 2008 10:44 pm) Everyone here expresses opinions rather then just sticking to the facts. Do you know who is a postion to discuss just the facts? The two people here who sell Honda's on a daily basis. The two people here who have to wade through mounds of bull which is written on this board which is then repeated over and over as if it were true -- like super-secret other then holdback volume bonus that dealer get. But let me ask you, why would you smear isell and come full circle by saying that it would be nice if he could check supply? You wanna know supply? ZERO.

Replying to: mrcoolguy209 (Jul 27, 2008 9:04 am) How about 2007 Honda Civic. I just received email from one of the dealership that they need to clear 2007 Honda Civic EX for ~17800 Thanks.

Replying to: love_luv (Jul 28, 2008 6:53 am)  invoice. That seems to be the a fair deal. Normally, one would think that during a year end closeout bargains should be had - however, there is a limited supply and demand is somewhat high. Yet, different parts of the country may have different supply/demand. Do your research. With that being said, I differ from "Isell" because I believe you should play the marketplace. I contacted dealers within a 2 hour driving radius and played them against each other. With that being said, you have to make the choice as to whether $250 off invoice is worth the hassle and wait this point. Good luck.

Replying to: mplshondadlr (Jul 28, 2008 6:05 am) I said it would be nice if he could check supply because that seemed to be the only redeeming quality from his posts. Additionally, ZERO is not the supply as evidenced by recent posts. I feel as though I'm at a car dealership and "isell" was the frontline guy and now I'm dealing with his manager "mpls".

Replying to: mrcoolguy209 (Jul 28, 2008 7:22 am) Thankfully, we have 25 Civic sedans of various trim-levels slated for September. With the ease of oil prices coupled with a greater supply of Civic's this fall, you'll see a drop in prices again. Price is set by the market after all. Right now, according to Edmunds, the "True Market Value" for the Civic LX sedan in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area is $18302.00 -- about $120.00 off the MSRP. As for me being isell's manager, I live in Minneapolis. Isell lives in Seattle(?). While I can't speak for isell, the reason I am here is to help provide accurate information in regards to Honda products. I have no problem sharing opinions for pricing and true hold-back on each car. Sorry if I seemed curt.
