Replying to: samgreen (Apr 03, 2009 3:54 am) If the first dealer you visit doesn't do what you want, go to another dealer. In this market, buyers have the upper hand (within reason, of course) and you may have to shop around. Don't cave to a dealer that is trying to charge you substantially more than others -- this is an economic time when businesses that meet customer needs with good service will succeed, and the rest may not. |

Replying to: dhightower (Apr 02, 2009 9:05 pm) ..Date......State....OTD Price 11-Mar......NC......$17,500 16-Mar......TX......$17,900 28-Mar......---.......$17,500 29-Mar......IL.......$17,600 29-Mar......DE......$17,000 30-Mar......CA......$17,250 31-Mar......NC......$16,682 These are Out-The-Door (OTD) prices, i.e., the final purchase price *including* destination, TTL, dealer fees, doc fees, etc etc. Each state has different sales tax on the price of the vehicle that is why I've listed that info so you can add/subtract for your location. Here are few additional pointers: (a) Visit the dealer to test drive the car, but not to negotiate the price (b) Do not tell them you are going to pay cash, or have your own financing, it reduces your negotiating position because dealer then has no *hope* of making money on financing (c) negotiate with their internet department - by email (d) shop around with all area dealers by emailing anyone within 200 miles! Good luck~

Replying to: dhightower (Apr 03, 2009 10:15 am) 2009 Civic LX, auto 16700 including dest charge 17953 OTD including 6.25% sales tax The dealer options were paint/upholstery protection, trunk mat, mud flaps, painted pin stripes, painted door edge guards, wheel locks, lifetime tint, lifetime car wash (5 miles from house;). I would have preferred not having all the dealer installed items and a cheaper price but I just could not find it. My dealer was David McDavid Honda of Frisco Tx. Internet salesman was JP 903-818-9188. He's a very nice & straight guy to deal with. An ever better guy to deal with but was farther away was Roland Mueller Huggins Honda 817-938-1985. He started the ball rolling and gave me the price everyone had to beat. He was SO perfect I feel guilty not buying from him. I would avoid Honda of McKinney Texas at all cost. Very old school high pressure / good cop bad cop / bait and switch. They had me sign a non-binding commitment BEFORE they would talk price and another non-binding refundable deposit to hold the deal overnight.Now I have to make another trip to that dealer to get my credit card refunded. Thanks again for saving me from that place! |

| I am looking for a Civic LX auto in the Seattle area. The best price quote I have is $17200 +tax, and this does NOT include any dealer options. Reading the recent posts here, the price appears to be VERY high. Can anyone in Seattle area or WA state share the price they paid recently for a Civic LX? | |

Im not sure location matter too much about the price. You could try shooting an email that say something like this. "I am shopping for a new 2009 Civic and I plan to visit my chosen dealership at xxx time today. I have no trade-in, do not need a test drive and would like this make this transaction as simple as possible for both of us. My preferred Civic is the LX with Auto. Over the last 10 days the LX model has been purchased at various dealerships for 15,700, 16,000, 16,500, 16,600, 16,600 (including delivery). If we can get to these numbers and find a unit without the dealer add-ons I will buy the vehicle this afternoon. Please contact if you would like to discuss further. " This is what i used.

Hi I am a first-time buyer and I am currently offered an OTD price of 25K for a 2009 Honda Civic EX-L w/ NAV and 23k for a 2009 Honda Civic EX-L w/o NAV. I am buying in the Washington state (not Washington DC). I was wondering if some1 can give me an idea on whether this is a horrible/bad/ok/good/awesome deal. Thanks in advance.
