I got my 2009 Honda Civic LX in blue metallic automatic four door for 3% over invoice. Which was if I can remember $18,000. There was something through work that got you all Honda's for 1% over invoice except for the civic which was 3% over. It wasn't through the dealership I wanted to go to so I just told them another dealership was giving it to me for that and they said ok they could do it. I bought it in mid October. I live in Ohio. I was fine with that. I needed a car fast. Though most didn't seem like they wanted to haggle with you. It appeared that they all believed with the higher gas prices that everyone wants to buy a civic. I did try walking out and everything out of some dealerships, but they wouldn't budge on MSRP. Please note I am a 24 year old woman though so they probably thought I was an idiot. I sold cars for a year I know the games they play. My experience in buying cars is to go to several dealerships. Each one you go to will try to beat the last ones price. I bought a Chevy last year. The first dealership said 17,500. The second said 15,500. The third said 14,500.

Replying to: Liz4891 (Dec 15, 2008 3:51 pm) I ended up buying it from Brown's in Arlington VA because the salesman & his manager were obnoxiously pushy, and got it for invoice plus fees, and got free state inspections for as long as i own the car. |

I am helping a friend out on this one- she is shopping either a Mazda3 s GT or a Civic EX-L. Here is what she was offered on the Civic EX-L... Cleveland, OH (Cuyahoga County) 2009 Civic EX-L Auto Urban Titanium Metallic MSRP: 22,225 Dealer came back with 21,330 with it being 23,330 including TTL. Sales woman hinted at some more room to negotiate, but based on what I'm seeing here, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot more room to move. There is no rush (can wait a couple months if need be), but is this good pricing for this vehicle? Should she wait? Thanks for the help!

Replying to: 28firefighter (Dec 16, 2008 2:35 pm) I got a good price by getting a quote from Ourisman Honda in Laurel, MD for $21790 OTD (http://laurelhonda.com/). This quote however had a contingency of "extra $500 off if bought within 72 hours," bringing it to $21290. Luckily every other dealership just matched the lower price and I could buy my car without feeling rushed or pressured. I wanted to by from Criswell and got them to beat the price by a few hundred more with some negotiating. |

Replying to: 28firefighter (Dec 16, 2008 2:35 pm) See my last message. That's not a good price. Request a quote from http://laurelhonda.com/ if you don't believe me. But I don't recommend going to that dealership, when I went there they treated me very rudely and tried to intimidate me into buying. |

hi everyone, this is my first car purchase and i thought i had done my homework pretty well for the last few months. i followed all the tips on car shopping and got 6 quotes from local dealers for the 2009 Civic LX sedan AT that I am looking to buy in the next two weeks. however, none of the prices i am seeing seem like the good "deal" everyone seems to believe i should be getting with this economy -- so i wanted to run them by more expert folks! my OTD quotes right are: $19,152, $18,759, $18,749, $18,355 and $17,490 (although I have heard some negative reviews about the last dealership and the rising cost once you go to sign). The manager I am working with for the $18,355 price is not budging at all. Is that the best I should expect to get? (Oh, and I'm in South East Michigan) Thanks for any and all advice!

Replying to: neednegotiator (Dec 17, 2008 10:54 am) Impossible to compare these numbers across all the states and localities with different tax rates and fees. You need to break these down. If you don't have that information at hand, go back to the dealer with the $17490 quote and have them break that number down.

Replying to: nice1 (Dec 17, 2008 11:17 am) What is the price I will be able to buy ? Sam You've got to be kidding here. Are you that lazy that you can't read through pertinent information here and get a general idea? You want someone here do that for you?

Replying to: mikefm58 (Dec 17, 2008 11:37 am)  I think I'll go get an equally equipped Corolla for $14.5K. Seems like noone at Honda wants to deal, really. At least Toyota dealers offer $1000-below invoice!
