Replying to: ralphwiggum1 (Oct 07, 2008 9:03 am) Your suggestion on just getting quotes from a bunch of dealers (especially your idea of asking for quotes from socal dealerships) and then using the best price to leverage locally is definitely helpful...i will surely try that. I will also check into San Bruno Honda and dealerships in east bay. any other advice is appreciated....

Replying to: denglu (Oct 07, 2008 10:56 am) Here's another option for people in the Bay Area--Cartelligent.com. It's a car buying service that charges $300-500 to find you the best deal and has a guarantee on the lowest price. A friend bought his car (an Audi A3) that way--it wasn't a crazy steal, but it was a good deal and he didn't have to do any of the leg work. You tell them the specifics and give them about a day to search for it. When they find it, they let you know the price and you can accept or deny it. One catch is that they can't get cars that are in super high demand--eg, Prius, Mini Coopers, etc. Civics shouldn't be a problem though, so I think it's definitely worth looking into. Disclosure: I don't work in the auto industry, so I have no affiliation (which includes my family and friends) with any of the aforementioned companies/dealerships. Just trying to keep the buying process fair. |

I have got 2008 Honda Civic LX Coupe Auto for $16,259 + ttl. This was in Boston on Oct. 11th. However, this was a car that was standing in the dealer's salon, so it's somewhat a demo, it has 20 miles only. The bargaining process took about an hour. Is the price I paid should be considered good currently?

| vita,i think 16,259.00 is a excelent price for the civic considering the fact that i recently traded in the same car 08 civic lx coupe with auto for a 09 mitsubishi lancer and i got 16,00.00 for the civic as a trade-in..my civic had 3500 miles on it when i traded it in over this past labor day weekend.don't know how they made money on that deal especially when i am reading about people purchasing 08 civics lx for around the same price with 0 miles.. | |

guys thanks for your replies. denglu, I actually have paid $16,000 for the car, + $259 as "doc. prep. fees", $800 as Mass tax (5%) and about $60-$80 for title. The prices for same LX sedan are about $200 more, but my car was probably "special" (they have marked is as "clearance") and I guess the actual prices for 4-door sedan might be about $600 or such more (after an extensive bargaining). |

Replying to: dmarcus48 (Oct 16, 2008 3:42 pm) I am ordering a Civic LX-S - the deal won't happen until the car gets here, of course, and that's not for up to 60 days. It would be nice to know what's happening with rates. btw, would LOVE to have the EX-L ($$$)! |
