that sounds pretty good overall - much better than anyone would have expected 90 days ago for a brand new fuel efficient 09 EX civic.
 
my thought the whole time was if i can get the OTD on an EX automatic with ttl, the 3% tax, and other fees (plus some basic accessories like floormats and mudguards) to $20,000~ on a low apr, i've succeeded and can justify the new car purchase over a used one.
 
doc fees in NC for most dealers i've talked with are $400, with a couple a bit higher. typically that is the one thing i hear is non-negotiable from all the dealers (they even have big signs in their lobbys that state it is legal here up to a certain amount). just means i've got to negotiate the price of the car that much lower

Price for Honda Civic LX Coupe - Automatic by colbound
Nov 07, 2008 (5:38 pm)

The best price I've found so far for a Honda Civic LX Coupe Automatic is $18,804. This includes all fees, destination etc. Is this a good price? Most of the other quotes were in the $19K range. Also, does anyone know the invoice of this model? It's not listed on Kelley Blue Book yet and I can't find it on the internet. The MSRP is $18,625. Thanks!

Agree with Amking about the Fee slapped on in some States. In Florida its $599.00 and absolutely no way to reduce that one. You can with other stuff but not the Doc Fee's in Florida.
 
Its actually called "Pre-Delivery Service Fee" in Florida and its in Black Bold Type over all other printed numbers on the Sales Contract

For my $599.00, then it makes sense to shop in places that have lower doc fees! Tax and title will still be the same, as the rate is where the car is domiciled anyway. Again this is pretty easy to find out from the git go. Just ask them. If they have what you happen to like, and the doc fee is (still ) high, go to the dealer that has low doc fees and tell them to search the inventory and/or ID the store that has the exact one you happen to want.

Shopping dealer fees is a huge waste of time, way too many other variables in the transaction. Just make sure you know what they are when starting the negotiations and be sure to reduce your offered price by the amount of their dealer fee.

I can understand that take/ attitude, especially since they are your nickels!
 
When I bought one of mine, (non Civic, $ 30. doc fees and the transaction was conducted over the phone, tops 7 mins) they also asked how I wanted it delivered ( even offering to drop it in front of my house) at no extra charge. The variables in the transaction were
 
1. 300 over
2. invoice
3. 30 doc fees.
4. plus TTL)
5. full tank
 
The Civic was 10% under invoice, $24. doc fees. plus TTL, full tank.

Florida Doc Fees by sandman46

Rediculosly high down here in South Florida but 99% won't budge. Just need to get an OTD price and let them jockey the numbers around. Florida sucks for many things...doc fees being just one of them.

Finished the purchase, pretty smooth after getting a few bids, and then over the phone numbers, pretty much held to when at the dealership - Everett, MA Honda Cars of Boston.
 
2009 Honda Civic EX - took a car off the lot, 4 miles, Silver (not my first choice, but I am not that picky on color - just wanted a gray interior, which it has). They had three other colors.
Cost: $18,600 (includes destination, before Tax & Title).
Edmunds lists invoice at $19,034, and Intellichoice at $18,639 - so looks like invoice is not a single number, and that makes it $400 under Edmund's invoice.
 
Doc fee $200, Title Fees for Transfer $80, Sales Tax of 5%.
 
I also got some accessories, all in all, pretty good deal overall.

Spell Check by sandman46

I tried that spell check to get the correct spelling of "ridiculous" and it just didn't work...my bad! The '09's are few and far between down here in South Florida...they still have '08's at my dealers front lot.
