They are losing money on a car that is very hard to sell.
 
1. It's a coupe
 
2. It has a manual transmission.
 
3. It's a NAVI
 
Not a very popular car at all.
 
BUT, if this is what you like, I would jump all over it

This is exactly how rumors get started.
 
Honda NEVER tells us what they are about to do until the day it happens. We have heard NOTHING about lowering interest rates.
 
" the dealers don't have a clue what will happen with prices"
 
That's true so why start a rumor? I would be shocked if they lowered prices and even if they did, how could they lower them enough to affect sales?
 
Lowering prices and interest rates only serves to cheapen a great product. These times will pass and things will get back to normal.
 
I just hope this happen quickly.

There you have it from one who sells Honda's. My post was a swag from prior experiences, asking about manual transmissions, etc. Throughout the years they have always signalled a willingness to do a bit better on 1. the manual transmissions 2. coupe's 3. and/or combination. I would not want the oem NAVI, but again that is a personal preference.

i wonder why they ask that much for a car if it's hard to sell then... hmmm.. well, I dont mind the coupe or the manual, and I love the Navi... I DO prefer a sedan though, since it's a bit roomier... but if this is a rock bottom price, then I like it...
 
thanks for the reply.

Whether Honda lowers its APR and/or price or not, January 5 is just 2 weeks away.
 
It'll be more convenient for him to wait another 2 weeks to see what new deal they come up with. It wouldn't hurt, besides, at least I really don't think that they will do away with their 1.99 and 3.99 APR offer. Worse comes to worst, he will have exactly the same offer as of right now and the 2008 he found, as mentioned by other posters, is a really hard vehicle to get rid off (2008, manual and NAVI) will have to get a price cut for being one year old in 2009.
 
  hang it there,you have nothing to lose.
 
P.S. the 2008 i found was a sedan not a coupe

Listen Craig (isellhondas),
Honda does not operate in a vacuum; it is global economy out there. Honda (like any other) car maker (or any other product maker) is competing against others. There are a lot of excellent products on dealer’s lots (Japanese, German, American etc.) Civic is just a car and nothing more. It is not a space shuttle or nuclear weapon that you don’t have many customers for it/them. Market place determines the price, even in recessions.
 
By the way “Lowering prices and interest rates ….” does not cheapen the product – it is one of the ways to promote merchandise that is not moving and nobody wants at the moment (even if it is great car like civic).
 
As far as “These times will pass and things will get back to normal” will have to wait and see. I am afraid we are in a long one ~at least another 10-15 month. Car business is changing a lot. You have to be blind not notice changing trends.
 
Many consumers in a last 20-30 month took much longer loans for cars (48-60 month) and can not afford to get new cars anymore every 3 years. In addition are you trying to tell me that it takes 19k to manufacture and sell a car like Civic EX for Honda?
 
Happy Hoping!

I have no idea what your rant was about?
 
I simply stated that we have no knowledge over what Honda may or may not do in the future.
 
People have a tendency to believe rumors especially when they like the content of the rumor.

****Using restraint here****
 
It seems no matter how low a dealer go's on a car, people still want more.
 
First of all, I have no idea exactly WHY a store would be willing to LOSE over 2600.00 on a new Civic? That is what they would be selling it for. 2600.00 under their invoice.
 
Yes, this is not a popular combination but they aren't distressed merchandise.
 
You can always offer anything I suppose.
 
It would seem they could take it to an auction and get more than that for it!
