Hi Everyone!   I am looking to purchase a 2009 Honda Civic Coupe EX-L with Nav (Manual Trans) toward the end of November and was wondering if you could provide feedback on what a good range is for the car during that time period. Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I will be purchasing in the San Francisco Bay Area. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Replying to: erci (Sep 11, 2008 7:25 am) In the Seattle area, dealers are still talking MSRP (maybe a few hundred off) which is really frustrating, especially when I read this forum and see members from other areas of the country getting the LX for near invoice. Around here, many of the dealers will not give ANY sort of pricing info via email or even phone and want you to waste time coming down to the dealership so that they can negotiate you DOWN to MSRP (from their "adjusted market value) - what a joke!   That being said, here's how I'd rank the dealers in the area (except downtown Seattle) in terms of my experience. It's hard to compare pricing among them, but here are my experiences   1. Lynnwood Honda - prices seem slightly higher than others and they don't seem to want to deal much, but very professional group of guys here. Internet staff is first class - very happy to share pricing. No games or sleazy vibes here. I just pre-ordered a 2009 Civic and take delivery soon! 2. Bellevue Honda - Very professional, the internet guys I dealt with were great. Nice facilities. Almost made a deal here - wish they offered me just a tad more for my trade 3. Renton Honda - wasted my time telling me they'd go below MSRP over the phone and then wouldn't budge under MSRP when I came in. Nice guys until it's time to deal - then arrogance takes over. 4. Auburn (Hinshaw?) - Pretty upfront about MSRP when I stopped by, but a complete a**hole about it. Incredibly arrogant. 5. Kirkland Honda - pretty bad. sleazy all the way up the "management" chain. typical salesman tricks. sales guy promises the world via email, but is "out" when I come to visit and has me work with the new guy. Lowest trade-in value I've seen. Lowballed me by THOUSANDS less than other dealers. 6. Klein Honda (Everett) - worst of the worst. slimy staff all the way up the chain. plays typical 4-square pricing games. Used car manager went on an "extended" test drive with my trade in and nobody in the dealership could reach him via cell....then they "lost" my keys when he came back. ugh NEVER again!   I also had some exchanges with the dealers in Olympia and Burlington and they either wouldn't give pricing info or only quoted MSRP, so I didn't waste time driving.

Replying to: erci (Sep 11, 2008 7:25 am) Sorry, forgot to add this to last post. As far as advice, if you need a 2008, then I agree with mplshondadlr - you should probably get one soon before they're gone and replaced by 2009s. If you aren't in a big hurry, I'd honestly recommend waiting. From what I've seen, 2009 prices are still around MSRP (which has increased slightly over 2008 models). I still think MSRP is too much to pay for this car, given that oil prices are coming down and Honda (and other small-car manufacturers) are rapidly increasing production - by the end of the year or early next year I think there will be a much greater supply and invoice price shouldn't be a problem. I ended up overpaying for a 2009, but needed a new car and got a good deal on my trade, so it worked out. I strongly considered a 2008 Mazda3, which is a very attractive deal right now (0% financing, should be able to get 500-1000 below invoice) - just wish the MPG was better.

a reminder for those looking for a deal.   1. Have your finances in order. Get pre-approved before you go to the dealer. 2. Don't discuss your trade in until after you agree on a price. Always have the upper hand, never let the dealer have room to play, "the numbers game" 3. Walking out of the dealership can save you $100's of dollars. 4. Always pit dealers against each other. They will fight for your business. 5. There are 2 fights. One with the salesman, and one with the finance office. Once you agree on a price, don't let them manipulate you into buying something else. Any additional warranty or protective package will cost you more money and will increase the dealer's profit - that's not what you want. "for only $12 a month you can get this, blag blah blah. It's not worth it. If you really want peace of mind then save the money you would put towards an additional warranty and put it in a high yield saving account. If you need to use it, no problem. If you don't, you saved yourself $100's of dollars in the long run. 6. Know your out the door price. A dealer will often offer you a quote for the car itself, minus any fees. This quote holds nothing when you go into the dealership to buy the car. Know the price you want to pay, including any taxes or fees beforehand and have them agree upon it either in the store or online.

hi folks, i couldn't help but make this post after reading what people are paying on this forum for 08 civic's lx sedan's.....i recently traded in my 08 honda civic lx coupe with auto for a 09 mitsubishi lancer ES..my wife and i needed the extra room and saftey due to the fact that we will be expecting a new baby shortly.anyway,i priced a 09 civic lx sedan at my local honda dealership before i purchased the lancer...the 09 civic lx sedan with auto had a msrp of about 18,500.00....this 09 lancer es with the cvt transmission had a msrp of 18,500.00...lancer has many more features for the money including more H.P> 152,7 airbags,4wheel disk-abs,spoiler,bluetooth,much better warranty,ect...after haveing owned this lancer for the past few weeks i can honestly say that i don't miss my civic at all and the lancer actually feels like a much more solid car being built in japan....before you make that purchase for a 08 civic lx sedan i would check out the 09 lancer for the same money but with way more features and warranty and more standard horsepower 152 vs civic's 140 with a little sacrifice in mialege...msrp for the lancer as i mentioned was 18,500.00 and i got it for 17,100.00 about what people are paying here for a 08 civic.....

Replying to: erci (Sep 11, 2008 7:25 am) If you are going to pay with a check, and do not have a trade-in, you will do ok. You can just walk-in and do ok. All year. Wear a smile, and let them know with an honest smile, that if you can't reach a deal, no hard feelings. Try Honda of Fife. (They have 08's, but can't say about two weeks out) But, Lynnwood Honda will be right down the street from you. Start at $1,000 under MSRP, and stay there. You may even be able to beat that on an '08. Honda dealers have last years model, brand new, until they are all gone. Even if it takes a few Months after the new year's model comes out. Maybe this year will be different with the Civic and Fit. MSRP number is easy to find, here at Edmunds, and elsewhere. 2009 might make better sense, but that will be probably $1,500 higher than a 'negotiated' '08. One bit of bad news, we have Sales Tax in Washington. It varies from city to city, but expect to pay at least 8.3% Tax. Ouch!! Then maybe $200 - $250 for Title, License, and Document fees.

For the people who live in Texas I just purchased my Civic at 18,900 (windows tint and proteccion package) OTD in Dallas. Do you think I got a good deal?
