I ordered mine, which meant the dealer got to keep full dealer holdback instead of having to pay a premium for a dealer swapout from another lot. Honda is also giving their dealers an additional holdback 20 Dec 03 thru 1 Mar 04 of $400 to $1000 based on volume. Treadwell is a high volume dealer, so they are getting $500 or potentially $1000 to turn over Civics. Look under current incentives for Civics on Edmunds and you will see what I'm talking about. Don't mention holdback to them, just tell them you found the car at another dealer for $500 less, but they will have to order it for you. Be prepared to walk, but I think they will match or beat that offer. Good luck!

Got my Civic EX in Houston today. $500 below. Drive-out price 17899. Quite happy process. Internet manager quote the price on the phone yesterday. I just went to his office this morning and it took 2 hours for the paper work.

I now have price quotes of:   12,100 + tax & registration 12,481 + fees 12,600 + tax & license   How do I know if all the fees/license/registration charges are all about the same without wasting alot of time? Basically, how do I compare, since there is a $500 difference in prices?

Call your local Department of Motor Vehicles. They can tell you how much tax, registration, tittle, and tags will cost you based on the actual selling cost of the car. Many dealers have a processing fee that is actually printed on the paperwork, so you need to know what they are charging you. It may be $99 to $299. The bottom line is you need to know what the dealer is charging you for the car including any of their processing fees, excluding state tax, tags, and tittle. Everybody has to pay those and they very state to state and county to county. Good luck!
#777 of 9208 '04 Civic EX automatic by jaa37 Jan 05, 2004 (2:33 pm)
I paid $16,167 incl. destination charge for a silver EX in Connecticut last week. I think I got a great deal, judging from what people here have been saying. I've been shopping around for ext. warranties and saw 6 yrs/100,000 for about $800, but people on this board have convinced me not to buy one just yet, if ever...

from which dealer do you get this deal?
#779 of 9208 1st -TIMER NEEDS ADVICE ON 2004 CIVIC PURCHASE by gregarious1 Jan 10, 2004 (10:31 pm)
I quoted via email for 2004 White Honda Civic EX AUTOMATIC with a out-the-door price of $17705. I went to the dealership and test drove the car and just as I expected I like the way the Civic drove. I really couldn't get the dealer to go lower that and the other quotes that I received from other dealers were higher than what the first was offering. Question #1? Does this seem like a good deal? I really need a car now and I've read that some people are getting it cheaper. The invoice price listed on Edmunds is $16139, the sales tax where I live is 6%. I am I low-balling myself for what taking a deal that basically calculates out to what is $45 dollars more than the MSRP of 17660 AND $1556 more than the invoice of 16139 (remember than 1$7705 is the otd price). 2nd Question I fill out the credit app. and I left out before finance gave me an APR. The salesman assured me That I will get I can get financed with payments between $250-260 for 60 months with $5000 down. I didn't want to purchase the car without checking around to see if the price is okay. It really is the car that I wanted and the color that I wanted.

It seems as if that dealer is screwing you with the finance charges on that payment. Take my example. I purchased a 2003 Civic Ex coupe last April. 6% sales tax in Michigan so with tax, title, license and all that extra crap the car came out to 18,100. I put $2000 down so the monthly payments for mine are $282 per month for 60 months. I would consider other places before I took that deal, or if you are younger try getting a co-signer that has good credit history so you can qualify for the lowest APR's. Good luck.

Your numbers don't check out from Edmunds! A 04 Civic EX 4 door with automatic invoices at $16,504 and destination is $490 which translates to true invoice of $16,994. Don't muddy the water with state taxes. State your figures with what the dealer is selling you the car for and include their processing fee. Tax, tag, tittle are on you. Check your numbers again and re post, so we can understand your deal. Although, does it really matter since that is the best price offered by all of the dealers you have been too? Also, without knowing the APR and number of months that you are financing, it is impossible to figure out what your payment would be. Go to a credit union or bank and find out what kind of rate you qualify for, before you go back to the Honda dealer. Anyway, I doubt you will be able to twist their arms with anything you get off this board to get your price lower. Good luck!
