I had a great buying experience and I got the vehicle at the price I wanted without haggling. I purchased a 5 yr/100,000 mile extended warranty from the dealer for $900. A bit more what I have read other posters getting it for but I was basically concerned with the mileage on the warranty not the time since I drive 20,000 miles / per year.
I got a great car at a fair deal. I intially considered the Elantra GT, Ford Focus ZX5 and the Nissan Sentra.
I was impressed by the Elantra GT at the price offered but reputation ruled over the extras the Elantra offered with me.
If you are in Eastern North Carolina, Bob Barbour Honda is the place to go.
My price was $13,749 + $250 (tint) + $450 (sales tax) for a total of about $14,450. The original price on it "was" 13999, but for whatever reason they were offering $250 off all Civics yesterday *only*. I'm thinking it was because it was the last day of the month.
I must say I was pretty pleased through the whole experience. No haggling policy and no hidden fees of any kind to worry about. The one negative on them I guess would be that I couldn't convince them to thrown in floor mats for me.
It's interesting to note that I called Mile High Honda (Aurora, CO) to see if they'd do anything with their price and they even told me to go ahead and buy it.
What do you all think?
Total prices $15,061. This INCLUDES taxes (VA- $430), tags, and destination charges. According to the sales guy it's the lowest they will go and he says it's a "very good price". If I'm to believe edmunds it appears to actually be below invoice. Should I jump on it and buy it now or wait for the 2003's. My fellow civic owners and buyers out there opinions would be very appreciated.
I haven't received any information on the Honda Care warranty yet. I think I'll take the refund if I can.
Those of you who cancelled within the first month; can you tell me more about how you did that? Thanks.
Sorry if you've seen this post on other discussions, just thought I'd try to reach as many as I could!
I was wondering if anyone had recently bought an '02 Civic LX (auto, sedan, no extras) in Canada, and what they paid for it?
Thanks
Today i went to the dealer in Cleveland OH, to get a quote on Civic LX 2002. The sales guy told me 2002 models are on clearance sale and he gave me following quote....
Base price: 14995.00
Keyless Entry: 316.00
Cd Player: 390.00
Splash Gaurd: 182
-------------------------------
Total: 15883
I thought keyless Entry was part of base price, but he told me ot is optional...
I also felt like CD player is little bit expensive.
Looks like they are also getting some manufacture discount on these cars..
So i am thinking of asking for 14500.00
Just wanted to check what you guys think about this?
Thanks

Sounds high. Here in Western NY I was able to get get an '02 LX Coupe 5 spd for $14,090. The advertised price from the same dealer for an LX Sedan automatic was $14,400 ($800 cheaper for a 5 speed). Coupe's were more due to limited availablity in the area. The dealer had no Coupes on the lot, but had at least 8 Sedans.
> Keyless Entry: 316.00
About $125 on the web - plus installation. Not included in LX models, but is included on EX models.
> Cd Player: 390.00
About $250 on the web - plus installation. If you really want a CD player consider an aftermarket unit instead. Cheaper and propably more powerful. Also, the 2003 LX models are supposed to come with a CD player.
> Splash Gaurd: 182
About $60 on the web - 4 screws each to install. One of the dealer's I talked to insisted on adding splash guards to all Civics for $139. The dealer I bought my Coupe from included the Splash Guards, floor mats, and pin striping in the $14,090 price.
Good luck!
Chorn, when you went to Vandergriff who was the saleman?
Raybear, would 15,800 be a good or a great price considering no airbags? I feel its great if airbags are included, but i could be wrong! [often if you ask my wife ]
I am in the Dallas area as is Chorn. By the way, if i came to California, would I have to pay sales taxes twice, once there, once here?
I never know how it works going from state to state.
Thanks

Any information is appreciated.
Thanks.
the way the actually price is always round the TMV price in edmunds? Thank you very much!
Have had some pretty bad experiences with Bay Area Honda dealers. In particular had a nasty time with Serramonte Honda - after spending most of my afternoon there I walked out when the "numbers" guy stalled and then refused to respond to my offer ("maybe" and a nasty roll of the eyes just doesn't get my business, especially after his stalling made me late to pickup my kid from school!).
My experience with Scott was completely different. I sent him an email (via edmunds) and then followed up on the phone. I told him I had seen an ad from the previous weekend for $14,998. He politely said he didn't have the advertised cars anymore, but countered with $15,760 (incl. the $460 destination charge, so it was really $15,300). Total phone time = less than 5 minutes. I went in that afternoon and a couple hours later left with the new car.
No "maybe I can get close to that price", no "come on in and we can talk". No talking with the nice salesguy and then getting passed to the sleazy finance guy for "negotiating".
Scott shows the car and does the pricing. The finance guy (just dealt with him for the actual paperwork) was very professional and nice too. Even the parts guy stopped to by congratulate us on our new car. Definitely the easiest car buying experience I've had (last cars I've bought have been Volvo, Chrysler and Mercedes!).
If you're shopping for a Civic (or any Honda) I would highly recommend Scott. His email is sthompson@hendauto.com. Phone # at dealership is 888 760-9339.
I need some advice!
If they won't give you enough for your trade then sell the car yourself or take it to a Carmax if there's one close by.
Also, my second choice is an 03' Toyota Corolla LE -- also for about $15,500. I welcome comments on that price and a comparison of the two vehicles. Thanks!
Here is my question. I drive about 20,000 miles a year. Should I take the deal above or should I go with a dealer who would give me a lower price but not the options above.
since you use it as a beater for commute, why don't you buy a used one. i have one for sale.

That's a good price, enjoy your new Civic.
bjk
like what anon said, i will offer the invoice and forget about those options. but of course if you think those options are worth the extra price, then go for it.
if you decide to have the options, then i guess they cost you an extra $800 (i assume you're getting auto tranny w/ side air bag). you have to decide if they're worth it or not.
but like what i said before, it's up to you to pay the extra for the options. nothing wrong with that as long as you're happy.
What city/state do you live in?
1- Did I do good?
2- Has anyone else noticed that when you turn up the dash lights with the lights on and it is fully up, once you turn off the car and leave it off for a while and turn it back on, the lights will default to the lower setting?
2) the dash light never return to a lower setting in my civic, although it's a 2001 model.
regarding that GAP insurance, i have a basic idea about how it works but not too sure. if i owe less than the trade-in value, is it unnecessary for me to get GAP insurance?
hey, no offense. i just wonder why ppl ask if they get ripped off or not after buying the car. shouldn't you ask before you buy? maybe the salesman didn't let you leave the dealership huh? again. no offense. just wonder. :P
