HI,
I am planning on buying a 09 Civic LX Auto Sedan, and I have the best internet quote from Dublin Honda. I read some really bad reviews on the web about Dublin Honda's sales force. I am dealing with a guy called Tito Perez, and wanted to know who your sales person was, and did you have to watch out for anything else.
It is encouraging that you had a positive experience.
Thanks

OK, I ended up buying a VP automatic in Royal Blue. Happy as a clam. Price was the best I could get (16,230 OTD) and the car was actually in stock. There was a big after Christmas sale at Boch dealership in the Boston area. Other dealers should take note: I communicated online (in a chat mode) with a salesman and we agreed on a price online, then I came to the dealership and actually was shown the car I bought and documents were almost ready when I arrived, with the price we agreed on. Boch claims they are the largest Honda dealership in the world. I don't know if this is true or not, but I was quite impressed. I cross-shopped against Corolla, but could not bring myself to buy it, Civic is so much nicer.
Good my 2-week search ended. Happy Holidays to all!

what was the price before tax and dmv but inluding all junk fees and destination?
I guess there are a lot of desperate sales mans out there!
Thanks for sharing - enjoy your civic

The price including destination was 15,175, then they gave me a doc fee discount to $249. I paid $86 for new plates and do not remember what else. Total 16,270. I did not bother to ask what invoice was when we chatted online. The price was "one-day special", but I do not know if that is true or not. I would certainly recommend trying them. What I liked best is that all the price negotiation was online, and I could print out entire chat. When I arrived, we did not discuss prices at all. Boch dealership was crowded yesterday, unlike in other places where I went in the last 2 weeks, which were somber and empty.
Also, I liked that they had the car in stock and when I drove it, it had only 3 miles on it.

Just do a proper break in and barring oem defects, you'll be GTG to 400,000 miles plus !

Thx for sharing and good for you! You got a great price and the negotiations were easy. You knew what a great price was and jumped on it. You did your homework well. I hope you're going to give your sales person a perfect CSI when the survey arrives.

Thanks. I'll search Internet what the proper break-in procedure is. I do not recall if I did anything special on my 1997 Civic. It would've served me still, if a drunk wouldn't have totaled it crashing in the rear. A tow company is still to tow poor thing away... The old Civic's dead, hail the new one!

That information should be in your owner's manual.

There really isn't a strict break in procedure for modern cars.
 
Honda says to avoid full throttle starts and to try to avoid hard brealing for the first 500 miles.
 
I wouldn't use my cruise control at first either and I would vary my highway speeds but, in the life of the car, it probably wouldn't make a difference.
