Don't pay up for these cars... There may be a huge shooting gallery for most cars in the traditional may-july inventory reductions. Good luck --jjf --------------------------------------------- Industry's Big Hope for Small Cars Fades - WSJ.com Bookmark added by casudi on 03/23/2009 Public Description Click to Edit Last summer, when gas cost $4 a gallon, buyers snapped up small cars so fast that dealers couldn't keep them in stock. Now, with gas prices half that level, almost 500,000 fuel-thrifty models are piled up unsold around the country. The turnabout comes at a bad time for the struggling U.S. car industry, which has revamped factories and shifted product plans to produce more small cars in coming years. The moves are prompted by coming stricter federal fuel-economy standards and the Obama administration's car-bailout plan, which encourages auto makers to boost their vehicles' mileage. Practically every small car in the market is stacked up at dealerships. At the end of February, Honda Motor Co. had 22,191 Fits on dealer lots -- enough to last 125 days at the current sales rate, according to Autodata Corp. In July, it had a nine-day supply, while the industry generally considers a 55- to 60-day supply healthy. For other models the supply situation is even worse. Toyota Motor Corp. has enough Yaris subcompacts to last 175 days. Chrysler LLC has a 205-day supply of the Dodge Caliber. And Chevrolet dealers have 427 days' worth of Aveo subcompacts. At the current sales rate, General Motors Corp. could stop making the Aveo and it wouldn't run out until May 24, 2010. "I don't think Americans really like small cars," said Beau Boeckmann, whose family's Galpin Ford in southern California is the country's largest Ford dealer. "They drive them when they think they have to, when gas prices are high. But we're big people and we like big cars." The logjam of small cars is caused in part by the recession, which has sapped sales of all types of vehicles. But it also underscores how badly gasoline prices have whipsawed the industry |

| I wanted to buy Honda Civic LX 4dr, AUTO and I think I got an excellent quote/price ($17,250 out the door) in Sacramento (2 dealers) but I waited too long. It looks like the color my wife likes is all gone (Urban Titanium). Anyway if anyone in Sacramento wants to buy one, you should be able to get it down to $17,250 (out the door). Good luck. | |

Replying to: sacramento2 (Mar 30, 2009 12:48 pm) It's a CRV color only. Are oyu thinking of Galaxy Grey? It's pretty close. Are you talking about a 2009? There should be lots of them out there.

Replying to: isellhondas (Mar 30, 2009 1:55 pm) I just remembered that Urban Titanium IS available on 2009 Civics! My bad! For some reason it doesn't sell well at all on Civics but it's a high demand color on CRV's! Go figure? |

Thanks to the forum, today I came back with my brand new Civic LX auto, Sliver, which has 39 miles on it. I paid the Out-The-Door price $16,682 [Sale price $15,738+$472 tax (3%) +$398 documentation fee+$74 tag, including everything] for this 2009 Honda Civic LX sedan with automatic transmission. The LX-S will be $600 more according to the dealer's offer |

Replying to: tarbagan (Mar 30, 2009 9:40 pm) My buying experience with the Cary Honda dealer was interesting. I had brought in an Internet price quote for them to match (they had a big sign up saying that they'll match any Honda dealer's price), and they refused to match it! Claimed the car color I wanted wasn't in stock at the other dealer. Well, after offering me their "best" price, they let me walk out the door. By the time I got home, the dealer had called back and agreed to match the price quote.
