Replying to: boston84 (Apr 19, 2009 7:35 pm) If you look at the paperwork you received with the car, somewhere on the inspection checklist it should say when the car first arrived at the dealership. The car Kodo got may be sitting the dealership for a lot longer and so they offered a really low price. In any case $200 is a small difference for a sleek new civic. Its a beautiful car and should last you a long time. btw you can get the trunk tray, splash guards, wheel locks etc all online or at the parts dept of dealer at less than half the price and install it yourself. You'll save tons of $$ (at least $300-$400). Since you are in north-east, I would recommend get the splash guards for driving in snow/salt/sand. It will save your car. Costs $200 to install at dealer. Get it as part for $55 and install it yourself with one philips screwdriver and 1 hr. of your time.

Replying to: crazyfly (Apr 19, 2009 4:04 pm) breakdown: 15488.49 (base) + 476.62 (tax - little more than 3% but not a big deal) + 399 (doc fee) + 35.89 (misc fees like title fee) = 16400.30 The complete accessories were mainly something offered for that particular dealership, the other ones I was talking gave a few of them plus some other perks, it's dependent on preference I think. Like one of them offered 2 years free car washes. They also offered 2nd lowest w/ 16450 but too far away for reg use of car washes & lower $ for trade-in. Hope that info helps! |

Replying to: boston84 (Apr 19, 2009 6:48 pm) Like it would have been better if I had started w/asking for quotes for both LX & LX-S. But I showed interested in an LX-S only right before I was about to sign the papers to buy LX and at that point the dealer wanted to renegotiate from the beginning again to try to get a higher sell. I was happy with my LX and didn't feel it worth my energy to restart that. I think you got a great price for LX-S for a higher tax state. |

Good luck. BTW, my wife is really happy with her Civic LX-S so I'm happy. Its good to see others are getting really great prices! Thanks Edmunds!!!!

Replying to: boston84 (Apr 19, 2009 8:33 pm) If it is helpful here are a couple more suggestions for living in snowy areas: a) If your car didn’t come with snow mats for driver and passenger side, get a set before next winter. It will save the original mats and carpet of your car from the salt/water/sand/pebbles. b) Move your hand on the outer surface (paint) of your new ride to see if it feels smooth like a glass or rough. In latter case apply a clay bar treatment (cost $15 if you do, $200 if get done at a detail shop). That will not only protect the paint and finish for a very long but the car will stay glossy!! You'll love the look. Congrats on the purchase and enjoy your new car! |

| Hello I got this website from one of the Edmunds discussion board and have ordered nice fog lights kit/rear passenger cup holders/mud flaps for my wife's car. It was cheaper than the dealer's price (Sacramento area anyway). http://www.accessories-honda.com | |

Replying to: crazyfly (Apr 19, 2009 10:11 pm) I forgot to mention that during the negotiations, I always only asked for OTD price even when they tried to push lots of diff #s to make it sound better, OTD price made things less confusing and easier to compare. But I also asked specifically what accessories and perks came with the car so I could compare things like w/ or w/o splash guards, etc. It was the first time I've bought my own car and I can only hope that I help someone like everyone here has helped me. |
