Replying to: jrcrowe (Nov 17, 2007 3:00 pm) In short it calls for replacement of the rear upper control arms with new "special" (again, their word) control arms, realignment, and $$$ reimbursement for tire wear. Now lies the rub, reimbursement is dased on normal and abnormal tire wear. Honda's procedure is to measure tread depth in 32nds at the centre of the tire (NOT the worn inside edge!!!!!!!) and base tread wear on that. Therefore, even though my rear tires are scrap Honda will do nothing since the wear at the centre of the tire is "normal". I have no idea why Honda is saying good bye to my family's future car purchases (at least 3 in the next two years) and service on this car to save thenselves less than $200. BTW I had the tires (er donuts) balanced at tarhe deakler at 11000KM for $73.00 +taxes easily 3 times what my tire shop charges and even then they mentioned nothing of the wear. John |

The Civic calls for a 4 wheel alignment as I recall. I always buy a policy for this from a local tire store for both cars and get it done every 6 months or so. Been very lucky having this policy on the last 4 cars as none have ever had alignment issues, we just both seem to pick up nails & road debris too often. Usually they're patchable but I had to replace the rear Goodyears RS-A's on my Civic last moth as the nail punctured the tire just where the sidewall meets the tread so patching it was not doable. The only bad thing is now I've got new Fusion tires on the rear and the RS-A's on the front, I always prefer the 4 tires to match though. And the RS-A's still have some good tread on 'em. I'd definitely recommend regular 4 wheel alignments as preventative maintenance. This works for us. The Sandman

Hi, newbie here. Purchase tomorrow 12/11 on shore in CT Civic autoLX 4dr, for $18,996 out the door with tax, reg, trns cost, and package of side guards/front/bk wheel flaps/fl matts. I hate dealerships, am I being taken for a ride I don't want to be on? Can't seem to find any specific prices for what I'm purchasing. Any really good advice to go in with on final closing? I can walk away, and get my deposit of $1000 back in seven days...rather that than make a huge mistake! In Edmonds specs, floor mats are standard, fwhy is dealership is included them in the 524.00 package I'm paying for when they are standard? Can they do that? ...I have a Civic EX 4dr 2004, 42,500miles, best and fastest way to sell myself...?. I'm robing peter to pay paul until other car, paid for is sold. Financing at 4.9% 5years, no penilty to pay early. Thank you in advance for any advice given!rlm3

Replying to: rlm3 (Dec 10, 2007 11:01 pm) You should post this message on the Civic Prices Paid and Buying Experience forum. You'll get a much better response for that there. You can find the dealer invoice price for the Civic LX auto on edmunds.com. You can see how much they're charging you over invoice. Yes, the Civic comes standards with floormats. These may be upgraded floormats that come in the package. But point out in the brochure that floormats are standard and have them give you a credit if you don't want them in their $524 package. Good luck. |

I paid 17,400 a year ago for an lx sedan in Florida. Greatly depends where you live as far as price goes.......I paid a tad too much never the less.... You have a good price, but I would keep the car you have. A civic is a civic, save your money.

Replying to: rlm3 (Dec 12, 2007 12:25 am) The black rubber are the floor mats for people who have a lot of mud, snow or water tracked into their car. However, they should still give you the set of standard mats for when you don't need the rubber protection. Still couldn't find on edmonds...just regular retail cost and specs. Here's where the invoice prices are at: Go to edmunds.com Select NEW CARS link In the Browse by Make section select Honda Select 2008 Honda Civic from the list Click on the trim level of the car you are getting---I think you said an LX. The MSRP and dealer invoice will show up on the next screen. These prices do not include the $635 destination charge which you have to add to that as well. If you enter in your Zip Code, edmunds will also show you the price that people in your area commonly pay for that vehicle. |

This morning my Tire Pressure Warning Light was on. I pulled over and checked all of my tires and they all were near 30psi. Has anyone else had false warnings on the TPMS sensors yet? I'll have to take it to the dealer and see what they say.
