Finally got my car  Wasn't able to get it as low as I had hoped but its doable. Final numbers: OTD - 18.7k Car itself - 16.9k Trade in - 9500 (and sales tax savings about 500) So after researching on edmunds, carbuyingtips and truecar I was hoping for an OTD price closer to 17k. But calling around to all the local dealerships (up to an hour away) I found very few '09 Honda Civic LX coupes (auto) available. Most wanted around 19k but found two (one local, one about an hour away) that would come near 18.5k. So made arrangements to come in the next day to try to purchase it (at the local one). Salesman said he was coming in on his day off for me but when I arrived a lil early he was helping another customer already. He introduced to a different sales person who took me out to see the car. Insisted I had to ride in the car with him or he would get in trouble so circled around the lot and parked up front to go back into the office. Inside the office it began. Some silly offer of 19k or more... no I was told 18.5. Original sales person arrives and agrees to that price. Then tries to stick in another 200 for some 1300 of accessories (all I saw was pin stripe and floor mats). Told him what he added on wasn't my problem, he quoted me 18.5 on the only 2009 he had in stock and its options already right? Anyways while talking about that I was reading over the other numbers which confused me. Yes I was doing a trade in, but I was paying the difference owed so in my calculations it had no bearing (of course they put the trade in up top tho to confuse me, prefer doing two separate calculations). If I'm getting about 500 in tax savings and the OTD price is 18.5, shouldn't the final price be 18? After a few minutes he said he didn't think he would be able to explain it to me with an answer I'd be satisfied in he agreed to make it work so I'd the 18.2 after the 500 tax savings. Was out in less than four hours after all the paperwork, negotiating the final price took a lil over an hour. Not too much pressure on agreeing on their price, very willing to work with me so great service in that aspect. Disliked having to work it down from the 19k after an agreed upon price and the silly accessories (I still have no idea what they are other than the mats and pin stripes since nothing is said about dealer addon's on contract or window tag). Was working to get payments as low as possible so went for the 72 months at 5.99apr (304/month). Could have gotten the 2.9 at 60, but would have been paying as much as on my old car (340/month). Average price I figure since most are showing 16.5 to 17.5 for just the car. Thanks for all your help and advice thru out the boards. My friends will be here during their experiences, they wanna know all my resources. Prolly won't talk too much more til my next car purchase, so see you then!

| I am planing to buy Honda civic coupe EX 2009. What is the best OTD price to sign the deal. | |
|
I'm not really in the market for a new vehicle until December, but was hoping to take advantage of the '09 special financing rate (2.9% for 60 mos.), rather than buying a '10 model in December. I am interested in a leftover '09 EX Auto w/Navi and there are a couple of dealers in my city that have a few of these left over. Edmunds Invoice price for this vehicle is $21,060. Any suggestions on what a reasonable OTD (excluding tax, tag, title), I should be shooting for? I figured $500 below invoice as a target. Any thoughts? |

I have some question guys. I can prolly get a Civic LX 2009 Auto for 18.5K OTD in California where MSRP is : $18,155, invoice price: $16,727.. My question is, should i buy now or wait until next month or so when they will maybe have more inventory which will even lower the price a little more to say 18K. Also, OTD includes everything right? taxes, license, etc? Furthermore, there is a special 2.9%APR until 11/2. Can i get a better APR than that? or is that the max APR i can get?. Also, is there any catch to the 2.9%APR because i heard that you have to pay 750 bux more for the car. Bottom line: Buy now for 18.5K? or wait later for it to drop
