This is my first time going to a dealership. I called a popular dealership and asked them the best price i can get on a 4-door,2009 honda civic lx auto transmission, His quote was $16,886 which includes destination charge. Went to a different dealership to actually test drive the car. After wasting my time, their offer was $17, 329. After i told them i had a better deal at $16,886, their new offer was $17, 200 and when i said i was going to walk out, the asks me to wait, wastes my time again and finally comes back with a sheet indicating that the invoice price is $16,818 so the $17,200 i got offered is the best deal around. i thanked him and walked out. iAnyway, I'd called a different dealership while this guy was wasting my time and he offered me something in the $17k range, but when i said i'd been offered a different deal, he asked how low and i said $16,800. He goes "if i offer it to you at 16,800, will you buy it?" i go "yes". so he puts me on hold, comes back and tells me i can have the car for $16,800 with the destination charge included with the price. The only fees are $99 processing fee which seems to be the same for the dealerships around here plus tax and tags. I did go to the dealership and the price was the same as he's quoted on the phone. i didn't try to renegotiate. I'm wondering if i coulda gone lower and had a better deal. Mind you the 16,800 includes the $500 cashback honda is having. is this worth it or can i get a better price? thanks.

I want to buy a 2009 Civic LX with auto trans. I have an offer of $17,123 + $300 tax + $199 documentation fees + tags for a total of $17,698 OTD. That seems like a good price to me. I keep reading where people are buying for invoice plus tax, tags and fees. What is invoice for the Civic LX with auto trans?

Replying to: steve_rbts (Jan 03, 2009 9:12 pm) Kelly blue book lists the invoice as $17,3**, i'm not sure if that includes the destination charge. I had a dealer show me a sheet with a list of all their cars with the invoice and MSRPs listed and the invoice for the lx on that sheet was $16,818. Honda has a $500 cashbacks most dealerships won't tell you about. I need to call a different guy tomorrow but if i can get it for $16,700 or a little less, it might convince me to give up on the corolla. hope this helps. |

Replying to: mzblue (Oct 26, 2007 4:12 pm) I would agree with you on getting 100$ more as a deal as it is our money not some one else! Good luck! |
