#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. Replies to this message: sweetysonia (Jun 18, 2009 3:55 pm) isellhondas (Jun 18, 2009 4:17 pm) jcabrera4 (Jun 18, 2009 4:45 pm)

Replying to: jcabrera4 (Jun 18, 2009 2:59 pm) In this recession I think you should get that car for no more than $18,700 OTD

Replying to: jcabrera4 (Jun 18, 2009 2:59 pm) What more do you expect?   If you really think the place is a "Stealership" why would you even want to buy a car there? Replies to this message: jcabrera4 (Jun 18, 2009 4:45 pm)
