Replying to: tudiu (Oct 05, 2009 5:37 pm) Why? Because I saw the same model 2010 LX-S and the sticker price was lower then what you paid. Second, I offered cash which gets me less discounts usually. Third, his last offer before i said left was in the low 17000's. I dont understand how you used edmunds and still over paid by that much. I was in New Jersey, not sure where you are from. But NJ/NY regional area tend to be higher costing too.

Just started shopping around for a new Civic LX. So far two OTD offers came back from some dealers in southern Arizona. Haven't been to the actual locations yet to check out the cars. Dealer B actually provided a breakdown of the quote. What is a doc fee? Obviously Dealer A is high, but how does Dealer B's quote compare with the average? Dealer A: (Dobbs Tucson) For a 2009 Civic: "MSRP is $18,965.00 but at clearance the total including window tinting and splash guards and one time fees is $19,323.80" Also a 2010 Civic LX w/same equipment for $20, 610.54 Dealer B: (Chapman, Tucson) 2010 Honda Civic LX sedan: selling price - 17,790.00 tax - 1440.99 regitration - 329.50 doc fee - 399.00 Total OTD - 19,959.49. |

Replying to: sjsuper76 (Oct 12, 2009 2:25 pm) Sometimes colors also play a role as some colors are more desirable than others, depending on region where you live. Tinting should not me more than $ 100 or 150. Splash guards might be part of the package that the car has on from the factory - same as trunk liners or upgraded floor mats. From your description it's not clear what is on the car. Doc fee (title processing) as well as destination charges (inland freight from point of import or distribution center) you have to live with and pay.

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a 2010 Civic EX-L in tango red. I am a USAA member in Virginia, and the lowest price I have been quoted OTD is $21,700. It looks like a good deal; the base price before TTL is $20,603. The $21k is a bit of a shock for a smaller sedan. However, I intend to run this sucker into the ground over the next 10-12 years, so I'm getting what I want  . The base price before TTL is $20,603. Thoughts/suggestions appreciated! |

For 2009 new Civic LX with auto transmission, Carsdirect.com quotes me $17,739. This is for Los Angeles area, and not the OTD price. By "quote" I mean I entered all the data online, and their website spits out the $17,739 number. However, Carsdirect wants me to take the next step to talk to one of their sales reps who will also give me a "quote". Will keep you guys updated. If anyone had good/bad experiences with carsdirect, would love to hear it. Thanks! |

Scrolling through five pages of posts on this forum helps me "get my feet wet," and reading about Southern California and Palos Verdes brings back surfing memories and listening to the "All Stars" at The Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach. To the east, a local Honda salesman seemed to be offering a "Buckeye bargain," here in Toledo, asking $18,300 for a 2010 LX-Auto with no extra accessories. Would a "final offer" of $17,000 be out of the question?

Replying to: ivory1234 (Oct 19, 2009 5:46 pm) I could not believe when I saw all the new development (shopping mall) in Manhattan Beach but the time seemed to stop in El Segundo - it remained as charming as it has always been - an unbelievable enclave South of the LAX. What has changed a lot is the amount traffic on PCH both ways. I don't remember seeing it so crowded way back then. $ 17,000 would be a nice try but I don't think they will go for it. You have not indicated if it's a 2 door or 4 door. I would go for 2 door $ 17,500 - 17,700 OTD and for 4 door $ 17,800 - 18,000 OTD. That should include destination charges. They will slap you with "dealer's prep" another $ 200 to 300 when you reach their F&I dept. along with tax and license fees so you will end up paying around $ 19,000 - anyway you look at it. But it's a fine car although the styling and drive is a bit boring.
