#7969 of 9173 2009 LX-S 4dr with manual purchase in CA by westy_man Jan 10, 2009 (1:54 pm)
I purchased the Civic on 1/8/09 from Pacific Honda in San Diego. I dealt with Michael Leslie who is the internet manager. I live 300 miles away from the dealership, so I was a bit weary that when I arrived there was going to be some type of "added" fee or the good old "we just sold your car, but we have this other one that we can make you a great deal on" switcharoo. But, my concerns were unfounded. When I arrived, Mike retrieved the 2009 LX-S in polished metallic metal color which still had all of the shipping protective plastic coating stuff on the hood, trunk, etc. I got in and it had only 8.1 miles on the odometer. After I test drove it, he showed me a piece of paper with the price we negotiated over the phone and it was exactly what we discussed...$16,929 which came to $18,534 OTD. My previous best offer was from Lompoc Honda for $17,600 plus fees. Pacific Honda did some very low pressure sales for the extra stuff (extended warranty, lowjack, alarm, protective spray, etc.) which I politely declined. Overall, to my pleasant surprise, it was a great buying experience. Checking prices on this board was very helpful for my buying experience. I thank all of you that posted before me.

#7970 of 9173 Re: 2009 honda civic LX automatic for 17600 [ruking1] by josome Jan 10, 2009 (10:30 pm)
Replying to: ruking1 (Jan 09, 2009 11:58 am) thanks!! ruking1 and backy   The dealer is pretty far away from my home, when I arrived at 7:30pm. They asked me to sign the financing contract within 1 hour (they have been trying to add hidden fees all the time, that is the reason I got pissed off).   So, you guys got some ideas on a good/resonable price on the LX 4dr?
#7971 of 9173 Purchased 2009 Civic today by steve_rbts Jan 10, 2009 (11:32 pm)
I purchased a 2009 Civic LX with auto trans today for $17,000 OTD. The breakdown was $16,125 for the car, $500 doc fees, and $375 for tax and tags. The dealer was having what was advertised as a Honda Regional Promotion Sale. I don't know what was involved in that as no specific rebates, etc were mentioned but I like the price.

#7972 of 9173 2009 Civic LX w/ AT by seattledeals Jan 11, 2009 (6:01 am)
Is this a good price for a 2009 Civic LX w/ automatic transmission?   $19175 OTD   Base price 17377, sales tax 1616, dealer fees 131, doc fee 50.   I'm in Seattle with its ridiculous 9.3% sales tax... Replies to this message: djbenbbad (Jan 11, 2009 8:44 am) backy (Jan 11, 2009 9:12 am)
#7973 of 9173 2009 Civic LX w/ AT in Bay Area CA by djbenbbad Jan 11, 2009 (8:38 am)
I've been trying to get a great deal for the car.The dealers are saying they can't go lower than $16,700 + lic + tax which come out to $18,361.04 OTD.   Does anyone know a dealer near the 94531 area code that can give me a better deal. I saw a post that someone got a steal of $17000 OTD that is what I wish I can get. Replies to this message: djbenbbad (Jan 11, 2009 7:42 pm)

Replying to: seattledeals (Jan 11, 2009 6:01 am) I would haggle for less. Go online and submit a price qoute. That $650-680 destination charge is BS. They pay maybe $0-150 for delv. Good luck on getting your deal. I'm trying to get my car for $17000 OTD but no takers so far. Replies to this message: backy (Jan 11, 2009 9:12 am)

Replying to: djbenbbad (Jan 11, 2009 8:44 am) The destination charge is NOT b.s. The dealer pays that entire amount. You can argue whether it's a fair fee, but it's not a fee charged by the dealer, but by the manufacturer (Honda).
#7976 of 9173 Pulling the trigger on an 09 Civic EX-L by voltron12 Jan 11, 2009 (11:10 am)
I'm quite sure I'm at or near the floor of the price for the 09 Civic EX-L Sedan. $20,600 out the door. Next thing is throwing in some extras (either free or reduced) on the way out such as remote start, Bass speaker system, and some cheaper stuff like cargo nets and rear seat cupholders.   What are other people getting for their 09 Civic EX-L Sedans?
#7977 of 9173 extended warranty by jimb519 Jan 11, 2009 (2:03 pm)
I picked up my car and finished the paper work on Friday. No extra pressure from the finance guy for the extended warranty but it is something I am considering. Paid $16,700 for the car which also included splash guards and all season mats. They offered the 7 year 120k mile extended warranty for $1195. I produced the document from Saccucci Honda where they sell the same plan for $825. The guy took it to his manager and they said they would match the price of $825. I do tend to keep my car a long time--currently 7 years and 165k miles. Thoughts from the forum experts---good deal or go without. Thanks!

Replying to: jimb519 (Jan 11, 2009 2:03 pm) Me personally, I never buy an extended warranty on a Honda or Toyota, but then that's me. Only you can judge whether the piece of mind that the extra warranty gives is worth the $825 to you. There are many differing opinions on this subject.   Also, be sure it's the Honda backed warranty and not some 3rd party fly by night operation.
