Replying to: amking (Dec 03, 2008 7:31 am) I've actually decided to purchase a Toyota Camry instead (much roomier). But the lowest quote I got on a Honda from a NC dealer was from Crown Honda in Greensboro for $16400 on a 4 door LX sedan Civic with manual transmission. I believe you can get a Honda now for invoice (Edmunds.com) less the dealer holdback (2% of MSRP). Also I believe you can get the doc fees waived. If I were still interested in an LX Civic sedan with manual transmission I would be asking for $16900 out the door.

#7755 of 9203 Buying a new DX-VP or LX 4 door auto. sedan by MaxMaddy Dec 03, 2008 (6:10 pm)
I'm located in NoVA. What can I realistically expect to pay? I see invoice for the VP is $15626, and for the LX is $16727. MSRP is $16955, and $18155, respectively. Can I talk them down to invoice or below? This is my first new car buying experience, so I'm overwhelmed & intimidated. If I cant get them to settle for below invoice, can I get them to pay the destination or processing fees? That alone is almost $1000, according to a quote i got from Brown's in Arlington VA. Do I walk in, tell them what I want, and make an offer?
#7756 of 9203 09 Civic EX by fdd008 Dec 03, 2008 (8:51 pm)
I just got a 2009 Civic EX AT down in Hampton Roads, VA for 18,650. Free wheel locks and $69 extra for mud flaps installed. So I would say yes, you can talk them below invoice, but it will be harder to work on the processing fee (an extra $399 in my case). I would have pressed the fee, but I didn't find out how BS it was until after I signed. If they won't go below invoice, work those fees hard.   It was my first new car buying experience too, but don't let them intimidate you. Get up, walk around, text/call some competitors. It's a great time to be a buyer.   From the NYTimes, regarding November sales:   "General Motors, down 41.3 percent, Ford Motor, down 30.5 percent, and Chrysler, down 47.1 percent, hope the ugly numbers will help them explain their desperation as they ask Congress for $34 billion in government-backed loans to keep them alive. Executives from those companies will be in Washington on Thursday and Friday to make their case.   But while those companies have been losing sales and market share for years, they also can point to Tuesday’s reports from their foreign competitors as evidence that their current woes are not entirely self-inflicted. At Toyota, which was offering loans with zero percent interest on 11 of its normally popular models, sales fell 33.9 percent. Honda’s sales dropped 31.6 percent and Nissan’s plunged 42.2 percent."

Replying to: goheels2 (Dec 02, 2008 9:43 pm) I just purchased a Civic LX with a manual transmission today for 16,400, no destination or other fees. I went to a total of four dealers all on Long Island...the highest was almost 1,000 over MSRP. I also had a quote for 16,700 and was ready to pull the trigger but decided to try one more dealer. The dealer only had one Civic LX with a manual and it was not the color that I wanted but I figured for 16,400 I had to take it.
#7758 of 9203 Recent Purchase 2009 EX-L by katylady Dec 05, 2008 (7:57 am)
Just wanted to share my recent experience. not sure if this was the best deal on earth but would appreciate your feedback. Had I known the economy would go so far south maybe I should have waited?   2009 EX-L Coupe manual no NAV, preordered and pre-negotiated price back on 9/29. Car finally arrived this week.   $200,20, plus TTL and $250 doc fee (standard for Cincinnati area).   Also purchased a discounted 5 yr int/ext warranty and took the 1.9% financing with nothing down.   Had the car two days and absolutely love it. Guess that's what's most important!
#7759 of 9203 2009 Honda Civic LX Sedan Auto. by chiefobeef Dec 06, 2008 (11:17 am)
First off, I am happy I found this forum while doing my research etc. It was a great help, thanks!   Secondly, just wanted to let you know about my deal. My wife and I just go back from Rensselaer Honda in Troy, NY (close to Albany, NY). Got a new 2009 Civic LX Sedan Automatic for $16,700 + tax + title / dmv. Pretty good deal as far as I can tell. Great dealership too, they really didn't balk at the quote they gave me over the phone. Replies to this message: jimb519 (Dec 06, 2008 2:38 pm) chiefobeef (Dec 09, 2008 1:59 pm)
#7760 of 9203 2009 Honda Civic LX - AT 4Door 17600OTD by earsofcars Dec 06, 2008 (2:25 pm)
After a difficult time deciding we finally jumped on this deal.   2009 Honda Civic LX 4 Door Auto - Atomic Blue   $17600 - OTD includes: Handling, Doc Fee, Tax 6% & Title & Registration   We opted for the 1.9% APR.   Think this is the best price we have seen so far !!   Let us know what you guys think.   It was a tough experience avoiding all the service contract/security system and stuff.

Replying to: chiefobeef (Dec 06, 2008 11:17 am) Hi Chief, I am in Rochester, NY . Did your price of $16,700 include the destination charge of $670. I was quoted a price today of $16,600 then add in dest for $17,270. This was also for the LX. Any information would be helpful.   Thnaks. Replies to this message: chiefobeef (Dec 09, 2008 1:59 pm)

Replying to: goheels2 (Dec 02, 2008 9:43 pm) Poway Honda in San Diego gave me a quote for $17600 plus fees for a 2009 Honda Civic LX Sedan with Automatic Transmission. Is that a good price? Should I start my negotiation at $16400 (Edmunds invoice $16727 - $334 (2%))? Or what's the good price to start my negotiation at? Thanks!
