I am in Dallas, just bought a 2009 Civic LX sedan auto this week with C4C. MSRP + Destination+add-ons(pin stripe, window tint, spoiler, mud guard, trunk tray, paint sealant, fabric protection/scotch guard) sub total was 17350, less 4500 C4C, add TTL and other fees, the total balance was 13880. This is the best deal I could find in Dallas. I have read posted prices for LXs here, but I couldn't get anywhere close to some of the prices being posted. Most dealers gave me a quote and weren't willing to negotiate at all. I have visited 3 dealerships in person, and I can see why they don't negotiate on Civc LXs--most of them have only about 5-10 LXs left in stock. One dealer sold out LX sedans, had to get 2 from another dealer. With the C4C deal, they had no issue selling them. |

Replying to: redrover1 (Jul 25, 2009 3:13 pm) Thanks for all you advice. You have inspired me to look for a similar deal. As many have mentioned the C4C program is reducing our leverage to bargain. I was quoted 18,000 for an LX 4 dr at Pohanka of Fredericksburg today, but will start using the internet quote method. I was wondering if you could tell me who you worked with at Jim Coleman? Thanks, Jon

Best price I got from the Internet is from Steve Hopkins Fairfield, CA. Dealer Name: JC Cummings $16100 incs. dest  Other Deallers in my area were $16300-16450. Going there tomorrow. Will let all you know the complete breakdown. +I will do the C4C as well.  P.S. Look for dealers with alot of inventory. It helps in the haggling.

Replying to: jjmags37 (Aug 08, 2009 7:46 pm) Good luck in your search. I too was inspired by someone who had recently bought a car and gave detailed information. Isn't the web great? What my daughter did was to go through Edmunds and emailed for quotes. You can go through other sites too. When you get quotes you can negotiate those. I have a feeling that some dealerships give these leads to some of their sales people because the man who helped us was young and only lived in the area for 7 months. I would not be surprised if this was his first car sales job. I don't think we are supposed to give names on this site . While we were there even though through email he agreed to a certain price it of course had to be approved so we offered an even smaller amount and was surprised when he came back and said ok. I think with the C4C program dealers are selling so many cars that the prices have risen a lot and consumers are not saving as much as they think. Of course before this program dealers were selling extremely low I believe Honda still has the manufacturer to dealer rebate of $1000 that they are no longer giving the consumer because of C4C being so succesful they don't need the incentive to get people to come in to buy cars. Good luck |

Replying to: djbenbbad (Aug 08, 2009 8:44 pm) can you tell me if the quote was for the clunker trade-in program? So far, my lowest quote is 17.1k +TTL for Civic LX with trade-in. The difference between with/without clunker trade in is ~ $1,000. Thanks

Sup guys. This is coolman4 instead of 3. The price 17,600 is OTD meaning that is what I paid. THis price includes everything including the tax tag and title. The car came with pinstripes mudguards dooredges trunktray, and wheel locks. Tell them 17,600 OTD. Not a penny more. For all of youl in the florida area, would suggest you go to palm harbor honda. The guys name is gary. Tell him that you will pay 17,600 OTD which includes the tax tag and title, dealer fees and everything. Hence this is called the out the door price. This car came with the options that I listed in my previous post. Warranty is extra however, if you choose to buy one. I received over 35 dealer quotes from all over florida before I made my decision. I did the homework for you. If you decide to buy one, go to Gary at Palm Harbor Honda. Good luck

I'm looking for a Civic Coupe EX auto and am willing to drive my clunker up to 500 miles to get the best price. The best quote I've gotten around here was 18,600 (includes everything except tax, title and lemon law); most have been 19k+. When I tell them I want to pay 17.5k (or even 18K), they just show me the door. Any recommendations? Thanks. |
