Got Civic Si w/nav/summer tires for $500 under invoice! by waynetam

So I got the exact car I wanted (Civic Si sedan w/nav/summer tires) at a great price from DE at Honda of Hollywood internet department. At first I was skeptical about the overstock.com quoted price of $500 under invoice at Honda Hollywood but I decided to give it a try. Well turned out DE is a true no BS guy and what you quoted was what you pay! (well my car has wheel locks and mud guards which I paid additional $250 over the overstock.com price which was fine with me, but my guess is you might be able to get that reduced.....I didn't bother because I felt $500 under invoice was already such a great deal with no huggle). Anyway once my overstock.com quote was sent to DE and I confirmed with him the next morning he has the exact car I drove there in the afternoon today and he already had the car parked in the front all washed and clean. It had only 8 miles on it and I took it for a short spin to make sure it drives alright then we were back to the dealer to finish the paperwork which was straight forward. However watch out for the finance guy as he was trying to sneak in a $165 fee for some kind of security system which was not part of the deal (had nothing to do with DE, it's just like every other dealers that those finance guys would always try to get you to buy those LoJack, extra warranty etc and I declined all of them). So anyway if you're in Southern California you owe it to yourself to call this guy DE at Honda Hollywood (I would definitely recommend using overstock.com to get the price first as it automatically forward your request to him and you get a printout of your quote no BS price). I'm so glad the previous poster mentioned overstock.com's car buying service otherwise I wouldn't had discover Honda Hollywood (they are 40 minutes away from where I live and I wasn't even considering them at first). Well I've tried most of the other Honda dealers (and their so called internet departments) and none of them can compete DE at Honda Hollywood for straight price and no BS great service.

Hey there,
 
I'm about to seal the deal, well not really seal it but give a deposit for a 2009 Civic LX-S sedan and manual.
 
The final price including TTL is 18800 do you think is a good price?

tupuc,
 
That sounds like a much better price than I got, and the only difference is I want automatic. Where were you quoted that price?

njp142 thanks for your response
 
This was quoted in Texas and New Mexico. Both dealerships gave me that price and NM was unwilling to negotiate any lower and the reason why I chose TX is because I don't have to drive a lot to get it,
 
I've been checking and pretty much the price they gave me was $800 more than what other dealerships here in Texas quoted for an LX before I settled on the LX-S.
 
I don't need it right now, do you think prices are going to go down after the new year? I can easily wait a couple of monts

My mistake tupuc, I accidently misread and thought you were buying an EX-L. I actually don't know if that's a good price for the LX-S.

Great Advice!!! by goheels2

Everyone please take my advice and before you buy from any Honda dealer in the U.S., call Gunn Honda in Texas and get a quote from them first. I found out that they are only 1 of about 8 Honda dealers nationwide where all the salespeople are on SALARY (yes you heard me correctly). And since they're not on commission they just give you one rock bottom price with NO negotiation. Their pricing is strictly based on how long certain vehicles have been on their lot. And right now they have a bunch of 4 door LX Civic sedans in stock. If you live in Texas or within driving distance of Gunn Honda then you should go there to buy it. I'm in N.C. so it doesn't make financial sense for me to buy there. But I'm using their low quotes to help me get a great deal here in my state. Texas has a much higher vehicle tax than in N.C. Ours is just 3%. I spoke with a gentleman there who has been with Honda for 5 years and he gave me some great advice. He said I should be able to get a 4 door LX Civic sedan with automatic transmission for 16600. He's got 1 or 2 left that he can sell for that price because they've been on their lot for a while. He said I should be able to get a 4 door LX Civic sedan with manual transmission for $16200. He also said that all car dealers will waive the doc fees if you push them hard enough. Gunn Honda only charges $50 for doc fees. Once I end up purchasing my Civic I'll post the pricing details on here. Hope this helps.

Fitzmall is the same way. Do a Google search and you'll find most auto manufacturers available at a Fitzmall dealer that are just as you described.

Thanks for the advice goheels2! I haven't really signed or paid anything yet here in town and Gunn Honda is located in San Antonio, I'd still have to fly/drive over there to pick it up but it's possible since I live in TX.
 
I just sent them an inquiry, let's see if they can beat my lowest quote of $18,800 total for an LX-S considerably. So far, I haven't had any luck w/3 dealers from NM, and 3 dealers from TX, they just wanted to give me a total price of $18,670 and I still had to drive 8 hrs round trip to pick it up.

I contacted GUNN and asked for a quote on the LX-S
 
 They answered within a matter of minutes, $19,355.56 total, I asked them if they could beat the $18,814 offer and no response, pretty much that's what I've been getting, the dealer in town is offering a good deal I guess
 
Taxes here in TX are high 6.25% on new vehicles, I guess that's what drives the price up
