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!

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: 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!

Replying to: mikefm58 (Dec 17, 2008 11:35 am) i do have the breakdowns, i had thought it would be easier to compare the OTD prices. the car prices + destination,excluding taxes (6% here) and fees (seems to be about $215 for most of them) (in the same order as the quotes above): $17,914 $ 17,521 $ 17,496 $ 17,122 the $ 17,490 quote supposedly includes everything, I've asked for a breakdown since several dealers pretty much told me this was impossible (maybe a tactic they learn in dealer school?

According to the Honda web site the MSRP for the LX automatic has increased $100 to $18925---same increase for the EX. Does Honda usually increase at this time of year? Thanks to post # 7792-chief- for his information on a price from Rensselear Honda of Troy, NY. I e-mailed them and received a first quote of $16,999---makes me think they would even go lower. I have not been back in touch with them but will let the forum know how it turns out. Happy Holidays to all !!

Replying to: jimb519 (Dec 19, 2008 3:57 am) Cars just not selling right now! I talked to few dealers in Albany NY area and they all complain about lack of interest. Even Civics and Fits are in RED now. All parking lots are packed with them. I think HOnda will have to come up with incentives to move their product in January. I heard that Toyota/Nissan will be slashing prices in January - honda may follow. Some domestics are already selling “byu one get one free” in Florida. I, ALso heard that many Toyota dealers are selling Prius at invoices now and reducing down SCions prices behind the scenes. (unheard before!). Many German car makers are doing business at below invoices levels. Also, heared that huge oversupply of cars in Europe and most of the car makers have a very bad time overseas. Some analysts are predicting this to be the case DEEP INTO 2009, Notice how everybody is trying to stop production! - not a good time to be in a car business. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and God Bless |

Hi all, I'm about to buy a civic LX sedan with manual transmission. So far the best quote I've had is 16800 (inc. 670 destination) + TTL + fees . I think I can do better than that - 16500 or even lower. I'm in NJ btw. I see lots of LX autos around, but not so many manuals, which I guess limits my bargaining power. I know dealers would be more likely to deal on something they already have on the lot. Still, they could surely trade with another dealer and end up with one less unsold car on their books. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
