#484 of 510 Re: Paid $21,500 for 2008 HCH in St. Louis, MO [run2w8s] by run2w8s May 20, 2008 (1:06 pm)
Replying to: run2w8s (Apr 28, 2008 2:22 pm) Have been informed by a forum member that some/several Honda dealers in St. Louis told her my 4/28/2008 post about getting a 2008 HCH for $21,500 was a "plant". Can assure you everything I said was true and NO ONE associated with Ed Napleton knew I was going to post anything about my transaction. Is very possible that dealers won't go as low now that gas prices are consistently higher.   PS: have purchased two cars this year and found that calling the dealerships and asking for the Sales Manager, then offering them a specific price appears to work well. (only called Ed Napleton Honda about the Civic, called most if not all the St. Louis dealers about the Toyota Corolla bought in January.)

Replying to: KarenS (Apr 29, 2004 5:02 pm) I bought a Honda Fit a little over a month ago, loved its large cargo space, cheap pricetag and nice features. Bam, I get rearended on mothers day and the car gets sandwiched into a pickup truck. Airbags didn't deploy and both ends crumpled, but me and my dad had no injuries. So I looked for a slightly larger car, since I didn't feel comfortable at how much damage was done (but again, no injuries so I guess everything went OK with safety).   I look at Priuses and Civic Hybrids around north bay of California- Priuses w/option 2 sell for 23k without tax/charges and had no financing deals, even over memorial day weekend. My neighborhood Honda dealership offered the Civic Hybrid w/o navi had the car for 21k, 23.1k out the door. Also had 2-3% financing, and the 1k tax credit, so the choice was a no-brainer for me. I also bought HondaCare from the dealership for about 1.5k, and if I never use it I can get a full refund after the 7 years are up. I read that there are cheaper plans available online, but the refund was probably a special dealership-only thing. So the details-   2008 Honda Civic Hybrid w/o navi, alabaster silver metallic Cost- 21,175 pre-tax, 23,145 out the door, 2.9% over 60 months Salesman- Paul Ciardiello Dealership- Manly Honda in Santa Rosa   Friendly atmosphere, didn't even have to haggle to get the low price.

What are Cal Carpool Stickers Worth for a low mileage 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid? Replies to this message: stevedebi (May 27, 2008 12:35 pm)

Replying to: beingis (May 23, 2008 5:11 pm) "What are Cal Carpool Stickers Worth for a low mileage 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid?"   Not much in my opinion, they expire in 2009. I don't know if that is on Jan 1 or Dec 31.
#489 of 510 Buying a used Civic Hybrid by livel0ck Jun 08, 2008 (4:09 am)
Hi,   I was looking at a used 2005 Civic Hybrid that a dealer was selling for about $9000. I've already checked the VIN; everything came out clean. Pictures also look great. The only catch is that the vehicle has about 207K miles on it. Is it even worth going over there to test drive it? How much longer can I expect it to last?   Thanks Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jun 08, 2008 9:33 am)

200,000 miles in 3 years is quite impressive. More impressive is the price of $9,000.   I own a 2007 Civic Hybrid, but there's no way I'd pay that much for a hybrid with that many miles. Honda's techonology is great, but everything dies eventually. A new battery pack is $3,000+.

Replying to: livel0ck (Jun 08, 2008 4:09 am) How much longer can I expect it to last?   One day... or two years.. or anywhere in between..   I certainly wouldn't bet $9K on it..

A reporter would like to talk to consumers who are in the market for (or have recently purchased) a Honda as a result of high gas prices. Please respond to jwahledmunds.com with your daytime contact information, as well as your current vehicle and the Honda you have purchased or are considering no later than Tuesday, June 10th.
#493 of 510 HOV sticker expires 1/1/2011 by harrassee Jun 13, 2008 (10:10 am)
Actually, the CA HOV sticker expires Jan 1, 2011, and can be extended.   see: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/vr/decal.htm   I think bluebook did a survey and found that for SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, on the PRIUS, the sticker added approximately $5,000 to the value. This value of course is different in different areas and maybe with different cars.   FYI, I own a 2005 Civic Hybrid, w/ sticker, and am looking to get the 2008 version.
