Add-ons that you don't want are not necessary and don't pay the price. There are many Honda dealers that will sell you a LX auto with no added equipment...I was able to do this. Went to 3 local dealers and found my car at one of them at the price I felt good about. So continue your search...you will find your car! The Sandman

Replying to: eb28 (Jun 23, 2009 2:26 pm) The price also sounds pretty high for today's market. Yes, I would probably walk out. Salesmen are trained to play various games in order to get the highest possible price, and you have to play your side as well. |

| Thanks to all for your great knowledge and advice on how to purchase a car. Just bought 2009 Honda Civic LX 4 door sedan. OTD $16,600, no additional fees. I had an offer of $16,300 at another dealership but the salesman was a jerk so took a little hit on the price...but still glad with the purchase. | |

Replying to: dantz (Jun 23, 2009 7:29 pm) When I was there, I just walked out because he refused to go any lower on the price. Then he said he had a new car coming in with no add-ons, but that the lowest he could go was $18200 OTD. I said, "No thanks," and left. I think I will drive out to a couple other dealerships to see what they have to say/offer. I'm hoping I find one that doesn't do the pre-installed add-ons on all their cars, as that stuff seems generally worthless to me, personally.

Make it clear that you will only accept a car with factory standard features and NOTHING MORE! Be specific and make it clear that you KNOW what you want! I've used this tactic for my last two purchases and have done the same for a few of my close friends. Each time, at least one dealer came thru with a deal at least slightly lower than all the others. I responded to express my interest and reiterated that if it wasn't exactly what I had specified in my quote request, I would walk out without a moment's pause! It worked every time!

| Received a otd price of 21,540 for 09 si sedan. This was including sales tax all dmv fees and dealer fees. Has anybody on this forum had any experience with pricing a si sedan? Good deal or keep looking. . | |
