I received an internet quote ($16, 938) + TTL for an LX Sedan that is several hundred under Edmonds invoice amt. This quote includes destination chgs.. Should I be suspicious? Does it sound reasonable to get an offer below invoice on a Honda? (no trade-in involved). Thx |

Okay, normally, I know how to barter, haggle...all that stuff. However, I'm really stuck between a rock and a hard place. My problem is I have the car picked out, and being that it is a white 2008 Civic EX-L, I'm limited to finding a bunch of dealer quotes, as only one dealer, roughly 200 miles away, actually has the car. So, my question is, what is the best advice on getting a great price on the car along with my trade in? I've heard it's often contacting the president (owner), the GM, or the internet manager...so they can really eliminate having to pay a commission to a sales person. I would have to work on trying to find the internet manager's E-Mail address as it is not listed on the dealer's website. But I'm sure if I called the dealer, I could get it. So, who should I contact? And by what means? E-Mail or phone call? Secondly, any guesses on what I might be able to get the 2008 EX-L Civic man for? Keep in mind, it is a manual, and has a sticker price of $20,545 which, to my understanding, already includes destination. Thanks folks, any advice is good advice!

Replying to: simple9rts (Nov 16, 2008 10:07 pm) This may go without saying, but I wouldn't give any indication to the dealer that they are the only dealer you're talking to. You lose all negotiating leverage once they know that. My only other thought is that perhaps you should talk with other dealers. Find the best price without mentioning your color preference. Once you've found a price you're comfortable with, hit them with your color requirement and see if they can get it for you. (This will all be complicated by the fact that you're looking for an '08. What about an '09?) This essentially is what happened when I bought my Civic. I negotiated everything online (including color). Long story short: The dealer I purchased from had to get the color I wanted from another dealership. (Granted, the other dealership was a lot close than 200 miles!) Anyway... Hope this helps. Good luck! |
