#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.

Replying to: jimb519 (Jan 11, 2009 2:03 pm) Just remember that you have the option of buying the extended warranty anytime before the factory warranty (3 years, 36K miles) expires. You don't have to decide right away and the price difference is not too much if you buy it later. Either way, if the extra warranty makes you feel secure and helps enjoy your new car, just go for it.

Replying to: westy_man (Jan 10, 2009 1:54 pm) That's a good price westy_man   I got mine for 18800 OTD plus a free tint. What's the current sales tax on your state?

Replying to: msubram1 (Dec 25, 2008 4:56 pm) Hi, I'm sorry about my late reply - I left town just after writing my last post. He was my internet sales point of contact, and I was reasonably pleased with the transaction. (Though I see that the forum rules say that we should not post names of salespeople)   Isellhondas clarified for me that he had me fill out an "options contract", to protect the contract that we had reached, giving me financing through Honda, when I came in with my own financing. Well, if the salesperson at Dublin explained this to me properly, instead of saying it was needed to crosscheck my information against the 'known terrorists' list and threatening to go show me the statute, I would have declined it. Screw what makes the dealers happy. This was the only thing that pissed me off.   Isellhondas, I'm very happy I went with my own financing, even though it's at 5.99% APR instead of 1.9% APR. This was my first new car purchase, and my first interaction with loan documents and legal-ese. I don't know enough about how contracts are written to not get myself totally screwed over by the F&I guys, who I do not trust one single bit. I trust my bank, who I have done business for years and years, and has great customer service (USAA, for those who care). It's not always all about the buck.

Replying to: westy_man (Jan 10, 2009 1:54 pm) "$16,929 which came to $18,534 OTD"   Did 16,929 include destination fees?   I am never too certain what truly constitutes an OTD price; break it down, can you?   Thanks!

#7984 of 9173 2009 Civic Si in Cincinnati OH by E_Si Jan 13, 2009 (7:16 am)
I just bought a Rallye Red 09 Si Coupe (no summer tires, no navi) for $20,995 plus tax (6.5%), doc fee (250) and registration (25). Shipping (destination charge) is included in the price.   To this I added a HFP sport muffler (no performance gain, just sounds nice and looks great) and splash guards. I plan on adding HFP 17" wheels, summer tires (maybe the Michelins Honda uses, maybe something else entirely), HFP brakes and auto-dimming rear view mirror some time in the spring or summer.   The local MSRP is 22475 (again, shipping included), so that's $1,480 off MSRP. Per Edmunds, Invoice is $20075 (without shipping). Assuming the local shipping charge is about $570, I must have paid about $350 over invoice. All in all not bad I think.   I purchased it from Century Honda of Cincinnati. The quote was requested via email using their web site. I may be mistaken, but I think when you start your research on the Internet, and then request your quotes via email only (at first avoid giving them your phone number if possible), they'll put their best offer up front in order to lure you into the dealership (if they don't, you simply won't show up).   Regards,   E.

Replying to: sinsd (Jan 12, 2009 10:00 pm) Yes, the $16,929 included the $670 destination charge (at least I think it was $670 - I don't have the paperwork in front of me, so I don't remember exactly). The out the door price was $18,534, meaning I wrote a check for that amount and left with the car.   Tupuc...sales tax in CA is 7.75%. I'll post a more detailed breakdown of the purchase fees later.

Replying to: westy_man (Jan 13, 2009 9:11 am) ok,   Dang that's even higher than TX's 6.25%,   No problemo thanks
