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

Can I haggle any more? by jcabrera4

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.

What more do you expect?
 
If you really think the place is a "Stealership" why would you even want to buy a car there?

Agree on the relative to other vehicles. The reason why i got it was i can afford it, i thought of it as a couple hundred a year over the course of 8 yrs. i'm buying it for the piece of mind
the warranty is the warranty offered by honda w/ a 0 deductible. the finance guy blatantly lied to me when i asked him if i can buy this the next day as opposed to on the spot. He is going to get it just for the lie. i'm all for selling xxx at the highest price and earning the most commission. but if he is going to tell me how he never lies to his customers for the past xxx years, he is going to pay. as in... selling it to me for like < 700 as the collegehillshonda is selling it for 9xx. i need to make sure he makes as little money as possible (for revenge). if he comes back to me w/ a BS number, i'm just gonna return it. i got plenty of time to decide...i have nothing to lose, he's got a 500 commission check that he won't be seeing if he throws me BS.

In your particular case the extended warranty worked to your advantage, I`m saying nationwide the amount spent on repairs during the ownership of said vehicle is less on a (national average basis) than what you would spend on a extended warranty so in esence they are not worth it, and as I said in my previous post if you so decide to sell the car or trade it in before you even use the extended warranty, good luck in getting a return on your purchase price of the extended warranty in a reasonable length of time without having to call Honda consumer affairs as a last resort then setteling for app. 50% of what you paid for it. Also, as I said earlier all of this information against extended warranties is reported by Consumer Reports magazine.

My best price right now including destination is 17640 in Roswell, GA. Is this a good price?
 
He mentioned something about including the 100k certified warranty as well. I definetly want to confirm that.
