We went looking for a car for my daughter to buy in May. A Boston area large Honda dealer had a weekend newspaper ad for a 05' Civic with 16,000 miles and a "Value Package" (it's a DX with AT, Air and a radio) in absolutely perfect condition advertised for $7888 as a loss leader to increase floor traffic. I was stunned that we were able to buy it for that. No BS just a car that looks like it just came out of the factory. I wish I could get two more just like it. I know that most of you need a new car with lots of additional stuff on it but how can you justify the extra $10,000 plus extra sales tax, insurance, auto excise tax, depreciation etc.? The American Love Affair With The Automobile!

So getting high and mighty with the rest of us based on your deal is a lot like someone else saying "Yeah, I bought this great 2005 with hardly any miles from this guy in my neighborhood for a great price! The rest of you are idiots for paying more!" Extrapolating that further and telling us we're all blinded by our "American love affair with the automobile" is laughable and one of the weaker attempts at patronization I've seen. |

Hi. We are about to buy a Civic and are first time car buyers. We've called/emailed around for days and seem to think that $17, 343 is about the best we can do (this includes the destination fee, so it's about $309 over invoice.) I would like to know if others think this is a good deal. Other dealerships won't even match it let alone beat it, but since my husband and I have never done this before, we're nervous about not doing as well as we could. Do people think waiting until the end of the month would help? Thanks!! |

Agree 100% with you on your post. I also agree with Backy about getting the latest safety equipment . And the new car warranty means something to me, as I've had a couple of TSB's done and a recall plus one warranty issue cleared up. I also want my girls to have a new car for their 1st cars, don't mind used for myself though. To each his or her own I suspect. The Sandman
