#421 of 528 Info for kbradford3... by kshonda Jul 03, 2007 (1:39 pm)
Replying to: kbradford3 (May 21, 2007 4:11 pm) I am sorry, I totally missed this thread, I am not sure how...so I don't know if you will get this or not, but we almost bought from Tiffany Springs Honda in the northland, but for convenience purposes (we had to go Topeka that evening and were running out of time) we ended up getting the car at Sharp Honda in Topeka. The whole deal was quick and simple, but I am sure Tiffany Springs would have been great to deal with too, we just ran out of time.   As far as the sales tax, I just meant that since you don't pay sales tax at the dealership in MO that it wouldn't be included in the final price like in KS. If you happen to get this and haven't already bought one, let me know if you have anymore questions.

Replying to: caaz (Jul 25, 2007 4:04 pm) Yes, because 38/40(camry) is so much better than 49/51(civic hybrid); This isn't golf, otherwise Hummers would rule at 17mpg. With number skills like that I suppose you mean the Camry is $5000 less than the HCH.
#429 of 528 Need some Words of Wisdom by wiredpair Jul 26, 2007 (5:08 pm)
Hi,   I am looking into buying a new Civic Hybrid. I contacted the closest 4 dealers and the best price I was able to get was $21,205. I don't recall the exact invoice number but this seems to be close to it (the MSRP was $23,195). Can I do better?   Before I pursue this, I have some questions and was hoping I could get some help.   I drive about 25,000 miles per year, 80%-85% of which is pure highway and mostly flat. What can I expect for fuel efficiency?   I bought a Ford Fusion SEL V6 at the end of February and driven it 10,500 miles and have averaged 28.2 MPG overall - right around EPA estimates. I keep the cruise at 60 MPH with the A/C on nearly all the time and drive with an egg under my foot to obtain these numbers. If I did the same with the Civic hybrid, can I get 50 MPG?   I am concerned about battery life. How long will these batteries last and what is their replacement cost? I know they're warrantied 80,000 miles but that is only 3 years for me at my current driving pace.   Putting aside the fact that I am going to get killed on my trade and be stepping down in class, I calculated a $100 per month in fuel savings at $3 per gallon. If I get the federal tax credit of $2,100 the price paid for the hybrid is effectively $19,105 as it stands. I'm hoping to get around $17.5k for my trade (taking a $5k hit). This means I'd recover the difference not including the loss on the Fusion ($1,600) in 16 months of driving and fuel savings at $3 per gallon of fuel.   In addition, my insurance costs will decrease (don't recall the amount) somewhat.   Do you believe I should keep what I have? Buy the hybrid? Or go for the EX Sedan model for $18,800?   Thanks for any insight and assistance, I really appreciate it. I wish I had considered the hybrid before I bought the Fusion (which I really like BTW).   Thanks, Eric Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jul 26, 2007 8:57 pm)

Replying to: wiredpair (Jul 26, 2007 5:08 pm) You won't break even for 16 months.. and, you are giving up a car that you really like, for a car that you consider to be "stepping down in class".   Plus, you are taking a big hit on depreciation.. because, you are selling a six-month old car..   If you won't break even for 16 months, why not keep driving the car you have? It seems like you really like it. Re-evaluate the situation in another year. You may find that you are better off, or that trading at that time may make more sense.   regards, kyfdx
