#8175 of 9208 Re: Civic Sedan LX $17,900 OTD in TX [cottongin1] by tupuc Mar 17, 2009 (9:43 am)
Replying to: cottongin1 (Mar 16, 2009 3:21 pm) I got a price of 18,500 OTD on an LX-S in TX.   The only differences between them are:   1) Black interior 2) Chromed muffler 3) Alloy rims 4) A little spoiler in the back   P.S. I would advise to all of you to do a search on Edmunds, yahoo locals and other forums for dealerships reviews. I was amazed that some of those reviews actually matched my own experiences.

I got a quote of $18,200 OTD from one dealer. What will be a reasonable OTD price in this area? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
#8178 of 9208 Civic LX Sedan, Automatic in Roseville, CA by movingfast Mar 17, 2009 (11:15 pm)
Replying to: peter1980 (Aug 04, 2007 6:04 pm) Just went out earlier and purchased a Honda Civic 2009 Silver LX Sedan with automatic transmission.   I had gone through previous dealers at used cars, certified car dealers, and eventually decided to get something new instead. I settled with buying a new car at Autowest Honda in Roseville, CA. I spent some time previously looking at car prices for used cars but didn't use spare enough for new cars and this ultimately cost me big time.   The price I paid out the door on the car is a very high price and it was poorly settled upon due to my lack of research for new cars and a first time buyers confidence.   Here's how it came down:   Invoice: ~$17,600 MSRP: $18,255 Price: $18,100 OTD: $20,459.99 (including taxes and etc below)   Doc fee: $55 Sales tax: $1316.24 DMV e-filing: $29 (optional)Service contract(to whom paid): SAFEGUARD: $750 -- this one was a poor oversight on my part and one I should have caught. License fee: $118 Registration/Transfer fee: $83 California Tire fee: $8.75   So there you have it all laid out. After finalizing and signing everything off, it felt good driving back home 100 miles in my new car, but after checking online with all prices paid for same make and model -- I've got the blues.   The experience, should anyone care:   I went through 5 people (salesperson, new car manager, customer relations manager, financer, finance manager). The process was smooth up until it came to the finance department. One person in particular, the finance manager, I find it necessary to mention his name: Josh. He absolutely ruined the experience, and after the four people I had gone through, I was ready to leave without making a purchase. This guy in particular was locked in on getting me to purchase a warranty plan (~$2500) when I repeatedly expressed I had no interest and would not consider purchasing it no matter what. Right before he left he openly said out loud: "I don't give a crap" then walked out of the room. I realize had I walked out then, I would have saved quite a bit of money.   Moreover, in the finance department, I was being rushed, pushed forms at to sign (this is where the $750 SAFEGUARD warranty plan was thrown in and I missed), and given brief explanations and random numbers generated.   Things learned out of this experience:   1. Research new cars, pricing, dealer quotes, comparable prices paid for. 2. Carefully examine the "...Sale Contract," especially all the (OPTIONAL) bogus crap that could be thrown in. 3. Leave the lot when uncomfortable. An absolute must. 4. Don't make my mistakes.

Replying to: movingfast (Mar 17, 2009 11:15 pm) Sorry to hear that they treated you so poorly. I live in Roseville and was planning to go to purchase a 2009HCH car in Roseville Autowest Honda but after reading your experiences, I am having a second thought.   Again thanks for sharing your experiences and I'll try to post mine experience so others can benefit (when I do purchase it).

#8181 of 9208 Re: Civic Sedan LX $17,900 OTD in TX [cottongin1] by cottongin1 Mar 19, 2009 (5:00 am)
Replying to: cottongin1 (Mar 16, 2009 3:21 pm) I did buy the LX Civic sedan, automatic, for $17,900 OTD at Lute Riley in Richardson, TX. By searching Edmonds first and emailing dealerships, I told each dealer I was shopping by phone only and asked if they wanted to give me a quote. As each quote came in lower than the other I finally hit bottom when several would sell this at $17,900, but no one would touch $17,800. I stressed OTD price because I didn't want to get in and have any costs be subject to change. I have been very happy with the salesmen at Lute Riley so we went back there.
#8182 of 9208 2009 Civic EX-L by ward2009 Mar 19, 2009 (7:50 am)
My wife and I got a fantastic deal from Markley Honda in Fort Collins on a new 2009 Civic EX-L. The entire experience at the dealer was great by any standard, especially since most dealers would consider us to be young enough to take advantage of. The test drive went well, we received a price below $2000 below MSRP and were treated well throughout the experience. Anyone in Fort Collins looking for a new Honda need to give Matt Veogtle or Tad Johnson a call.

Is $21,800 a good OTD price for the 2009 Civic Sedan EXL? Thanks! I'm located in San Jose, CA Replies to this message: lucky15 (Mar 19, 2009 4:14 pm)

Replying to: movingfast (Mar 17, 2009 11:15 pm) ouch, that is too bad. But I didn't make out as well as others have here, either. It was in December (fewer hard-core dealios) and my dealer ordered me the car/color (urban titanium LX-S) I wanted, so it felt better to me to sit in mine when no one drove it, other than the lot dude. I even knew right when it was built and shipped, etc. I know I could have done better (at any other dealer) and did get at least an "invoice" offer, and could have worked that better, too. I know others here have beat my price by 1,500 to close to 2k.   But ya can't look back.   Enjoy your car!!!!
