#8682 of 9208 Re: Honda Civic EX-L AT Sedan 2009 [familydadx4] by ernst2 Jun 18, 2009 (5:09 am)
Replying to: familydadx4 (Jun 15, 2009 3:58 am) familydadx4:   I ended up paying $19300 with an otd price of $20212. Easy negotiation over the internet and phone. My dealer is Duncan's Hokie Honda in Christiansburg Virginia. My sales representative was awesome. Her name is Julie Felix. The car is a beauty and we are now happy to be a complete Honda Family, (1 2004 Odyssey EX-L and now a 2009 Civic EX-L). Thanks for your tips and advice.
#8683 of 9208 sam 151---kaiotes 1--Extended warranties by lucky15 Jun 18, 2009 (5:21 am)
Replying to: kaiotes1 (Jun 17, 2009 9:34 pm) I recently purchased a new civic, I had a 2004 Hyundai 350 as a trade in, when I purchased the 350 in 2004 I also purchased an extended warranty from Hyundai for $800.00, the factory warranty was still in effect when I got rid of it, I never even had the opportunity to use the extended warranty, I applied for a refund and after 3 long agonizing months trying to get the refund I finally called Hyundai Consumer Affairs, they contacted the dealer and I had my money the next day, only trouble was that the dealer kept half of the $800.00, so in actuality I had purchased an extended warranty for $400.00 and the dealer got the rest in commission. They tried to sell me an extended warranty when I purchased my 2009 civic for $800.00, I told them the reason I am buying a civic is I won`t have to worry about a lot of break downs because they are one of the most dependable cars on the market. If you read the extended warranties fine print you will see that they don`t cover everything like you are led to believe, in summing this up, cancel your extended warranties before the time expires, there is an excellent chance you will never use it. if you don`t believe me, just check with Consumer Reports, they say the same thing.

#8684 of 9208 2009 EX civic coupe by rmur23 Jun 18, 2009 (7:09 am)
Just got a black 09 EX civic coupe in Albany, NY for $17,980 ($1200 under invoice) + tax & fees. Came to about 19 even, minus $9K i got for trading in my 05 accord LXSE coupe with 46K miles. Was exactly $10K total out the door. Civic price was good, accord I may have gotten a little more for, but it needed tires, had some scratches, plus I had taken out the factory stereo/speakers for aftermarkets. Overall don't think I can really complain.   Love the new civic, moonroof and stereo system are terrific.
#8685 of 9208 AC not cooling by jukords Jun 18, 2009 (11:14 am)
Hi,   I think my civic has AC problem because its not cooling enough. Air coming out of the louvers are not cool until I turn the knob near full or when put in max AC.   I will not be charged if I let the dealer fix it right?   3 weeks old Honda civic lxs.     Replies to this message: kaiotes1 (Jun 18, 2009 1:56 pm) crazyfly (Jun 18, 2009 2:36 pm)

Replying to: kaiotes1 (Jun 18, 2009 1:59 pm) Honda dealers usually sell the extended warranty for $1600 so comparatively you did get a decent deal on warranty. If you read through other forums on Edmunds you may find that people are having a lot of issues with civics lately. Perhaps the quality of the product/ brand has gone down.   With that said, my $0.02 would be to consider keeping the extended warranty but negotiate a lower price for it. Warranty can come in handy if you are planning to keep the vehicle for up to 100K miles. I know you are not thrilled about the price charged for the warranty, but instead of lower price or refund, you can ask the dealer to convert your standard warranty into premium warranty to cover everything, and/or ask for zero deductible on claims.   My current vehicle came with extended warranty and it has more than paid for itself.

Replying to: jukords (Jun 18, 2009 11:14 am) One option to try would be to turn *off* the fresh air flow and run the AC with air on internal circulation only. This seems to increase the fan speed and cooling on my vehicle. I hope this helps.

Replying to: lucky15 (Jun 18, 2009 5:21 am) Civic is a very dependable vehicle that provides great gas mileage... and I love it for this. But dependability is only a relative term, and for civic all it means is that civic is more dependable than its peers. Which means things are still going to go wrong with the civic, its just that its not going to happen as much as it does with other comparable cars. When things do go wrong the owner is going to be on the hook for fixing it. And thats cash (or credit) out of pocket...   I am just your average consumer who doesn't like throwing the hard earned money away. Based on my experience with civic & extended warranties I would recommend: * Get an extended warranty for 7 yrs / 100k miles * Not all extended warranties are the same. * Do not get a standard 'Extended Warranty". Chose "Premium Package" that covers everything * Opt for $0 deductible for warranty claims * Extended warranty prices starts at $2K. Negotiate it down to ideally less than $1K Replies to this message: kaiotes1 (Jun 18, 2009 8:54 pm) lucky15 (Jun 19, 2009 6:26 am)
#8691 of 9208 Can I haggle any more? by jcabrera4 Jun 18, 2009 (2:59 pm)
Hi All   I was quoted a price on a Civic EX auto for $17885. This price includes destination. All they need to add is tax and dmv fees.   Do you think I can do better? My bro works at the stealership and says, I am going into the holdback.
