Atlanta area Just put deposit down on the Civic VP in Fiji Blue (really great looking color). Pretty much last night started calling around, carsdirect was listing 13064, asked if people could match. Three dealers refused, two beat it. Ended up being 14135 out the door (7% tax for Fulton county). These guys took a hit, got the 2.9% on the car too. Lanier Honda and Hennesey Honda out in the boondocks of the Atlanta metro area were the ones willing to sell for the least. Whole experience was an absolute breeze. There was no negotiation, after I'd called the dealership he called me back and dropped that price on me and I just took it. Got there, he didn't calculate title and lemon fee (21 bucks) threw that on and that was end of it. After going to several other dealerships in Atlanta area just to see cars (felt like pulling teeth) business at Lanier was really great. |

| I dealt directly with the internet sales manager at Treadwell Honda in Mobile, AL on-line and firmed the deal up with a phone call and my credit card deposit. I got an 04 Civic LX 4-door sedan, automatic transmission with side air bags in Shoreline Mist. They are ordering it, so it will be a month or so before I pick it up. I did the same thing with them before. My total price including all processing & dealer fees to include a car tag is $15,100. I just have to pay my straight sales tax. I live in Florida(6% sales tax), so by the time it's all said and done it will be in my driveway for $16,006. No trade was involved and I'll use Honda 2.9% financing if it is still available when my car comes in, if not my credit union has 4.25%. I've been looking for a while, this is the best that I could do within a 120 miles of Ft. Walton Beach Florida. | |

i feel better about my reliability of my civic. i will wait until closer to 3 years to see. i will only put 7500 - 10000 miles max a year. buying on the net in chicago was easy with nine dealers to email i got many prices. but at almost 1000 below invoice it was great. i sent them the credit app over fax ahead of time. my total time in dealer was 2.5 hrs from hello to test drive to paperwork to finance guy. i guess that was good. thanks again. now i need a digital camera know of any good discussion boards? |

| I think that's the way to go. I'm jealous of the deal you got up there. Can you break the deal totally down, so we all can understand it? I assume the $14,292 included shipping($490), so what did they charge you for any processing fees, deposal fees, doc fees, etc. Did you trade anything in and how many miles were on the car when you picked it up? What was the full price excluding your state tax only? I recommend the Cannon A-70, go to pcworld.com and look at reviews on cameras under $500. You can get it delivered to your house for about $265. | |

I am currently looking at a 2004 Civic EX MT 4 door sedan for $16145 including the destination fee. I am trying to get the 6 disk changer included but am not having any luck. Does this sound like a good deal?? Thanks |
