#1156 of 3321 Si price by moparbad Nov 08, 2002 (11:23 am)
The $15,995 Si I have was for 2002. Dealer advertised 2003 but I think all they have in stock is 2002. Several other dealers all priced the Si at $17,500. And there is Honda money to dealer on the 2002's. Don't let the greedy dealers fool you.

thanks for the clarification.
#1158 of 3321 moparbad - thanks for clarifying too. But still 02 for $15,995 is great by hamproof Nov 08, 2002 (11:33 am)
WITH dest. thrown in coz' it is $460. Now, how to I get this deal from local dealers? Are you a relative of the owner of that dealership by any chance? Did you have a trade? Did you finance through them? They didn't reel you in with an 18% loan did they?
#1159 of 3321 Offer on 2003 Si by crikey Nov 08, 2002 (11:41 am)
A couple of posts back, I said that a dealer is offering $16,450 (including destination) + tax + tag + $400 dealer fee for a 2003 Si, which is just a difference of $455 (not counting dealer fee) on moparbad's deal. I'm trying to get the dealer fee off and if I do, I think it's as good as it may get on a 2003.
#1160 of 3321 Do 2002s have an financing incentive? by crikey Nov 08, 2002 (11:44 am)
I thought I saw that recently. This would make a 2002 a better deal.
#1161 of 3321 Dealer fee can't be negotiated. At least not the official doc fee. by hamproof Nov 08, 2002 (11:44 am)
In MI, it is a standard $40. Any dealership that charges more is just trying to make more money from the clueless customers. However this fee varies from state to state. So it might very well be in your state, it cost $400. I believe in CA, it cost about $200?? Correct me if I'm wrong.   Where abouts are you at Crikey?   The fine print on one of the dealership here in metro Detroit says you have to give up the special AHFC financing in lieu of the dealer cash. However, I do believe it is all too late now. I believe the 1.9/2y, 3.9/3y etc. financing terms ended 10/31.
#1162 of 3321 Si details by moparbad Nov 08, 2002 (11:57 am)
The $15,995 price was negotiated over the phone before I went to the dealer. It was price w/o trade. The price was not advertised at the time so I was emailing many dealers and offering $16K for a Si. I did finance thru Honda. When I went to the dealership I already had financing arranged thru my CU but the dealership beat the rate. A doc fee of less than $50 was added and that was only added fee other than tax, title and license. Two other dealers called later in the day and offered me the same deal.

I'm in FL. Dealers here charge so much on fees -- built-in profit.
#1164 of 3321 From my limited experience w/ dealerships in Metro Detroit, by hamproof Nov 08, 2002 (12:05 pm)
when you go in w/ an agreed upon price of $16k, they'll spring the dest. charge $460 when you sign papers. What can you do? This is Detroit

You can look at the pictures that you posted and see that even though all 4 cars are hatchbacks the Civic's are obviously bigger and definitely not as cheap looking as the Daewoo and Metro. IMO somebody who puts a SI in the same class as a Metro, just because of the number of doors and the design of them, doesn't deserve to drive a SI.   4 hours isn't too far to drive if it's a car you want and the price is right. And look at it this way, at least by the time you get home the break-in period will almost be over and you won't have to baby the car as long. Those first few weeks were a drag when I had to shift at 3500 RPM every time.
