Love my '06 LX and did have the rear work done on the suspension and also got reimbursed 1/2 the price of my 2 ruined tires. But I tried to be polite and professional...guess what, it worked!

Normally, you pay sales tax in the State, where you purchase the car. If the sales tax is more there, you get a refund in the State, where you register your vehicle. If the sales tax is lower, you pay the difference in the State, where you register your car.
That's how it works here in NW Florida where many people buy cars in neighboring Alabama or Georgia. It's a tri-State sales tax agreement.
In some States, you buy a car without paying sales tax, you get a 30-day temporary license plate and you pay sales tax, when you register your car in your city/State.

Can you tell me which dealer you're working with? I'm planning to buy an LX next month.
Details
I've been tracking the pricing of this car on various websites on a weekly basis since November 2009. The selliing price (including destination) as of 3/6/10 are shown below.
Edmunds (17280)
Truecars (17619)
Overstock (16150) [zip code 94804; dealer appears to be Grace Honda, San Bruno]
KKB (18554)
cars.com (17459)
Carsdirect (16828)
16,200 including destination and handling
+TTL + 50 documentation fee.
= 17579 OTD
Dealer tried to sell mudguards , tinting, pinstriping, wheel locks, all weather mats etc. for another 1500. Had been negotiating with couple of dealers for couple of weeks on email and phone.
One common tactic is that a dealer will promise to beat the others offer. What they do not elaborate on is that it has to be written. So you got to use email to negotiate but the dealers also know this. The dealer I went with quoted 16400 but I counteredt with 16000 and he said to come to dealership and make that offer and it would be upto a GM to accept. We finally agreed on a civic LXS auto 2010 for 16,200 which included shipping and handling.
I was thinking about buying a Corolla and the incentives are great but ultimately I like the look and interior of the civic better. Also did not want to always wonder when the corolla will "take off "
Anyway the dealer who did not sell to me said he would have beaten my deal and sold to me the LX-S for 15800. Not sure I believe him but who knows.
Finally getting genuine new Honda mudguards and wheel locks online from Bernardi Honda for 55 for set of 4 + 29 for set of 4 and key. Total 105 with shipping. Supposedly one can install the mudguards oneself with included screws. Wheel Locks my local Discount tire store says he will put it on for free if I buy hazard insurance and wheel balance for 65 bucks.
Now you the whole story.

But with $1000 dealer cash back now until 5/3/2010. we should be able to get even better price.
If you opt for the special financing are you also eligible for the $500.00 loyalty cash and either the $850 or $650 dealer cash that's apparently available? Has all of this been superseded by the $1000.00 marketing incentive?
I'm trying to get the dealer to drop at least $750 below invoice (with 1.9% financing) on an Civic Sedan EX-L. Is this a realistic deal?
Thanks for the help!

Jacknibbs - did you buy a car?
If you take the 1.9 financing the dealer loses his incentive.
It's one of the other. Not both.
Dealt with 4 local dealers lowest quote $16,666 before taxes/fees. Jerked us around, wasted my time, wouldn't stop calling.
USAA Car buying service lists $16,200 "no haggle" price for members before taxes/fees. (interestingly, same dealership as the $16,666)
Went with a $17,000 drive off price request to dealers, got laughed at by everyone, but got an email back from Willett Honda South in Morrow, GA about an hour away. Offered $16,873 as drive off price "internet special".
$15,299 car price, 950ish taxes, 600 dealer fees (I didn't bother negotiating this because the salesman didn't waste my time and was the only one to meet my price, you could get it lower if you wanted)
They want you to use their financing to get that price, but we paid with our own with no issue.
Great experience there, probably had more to do with the salesman than anything.
Love the car, came off the truck the same day we bought it with 9 miles.
Vehicle: $17650
Dest: $710
Extras: $130 (wheel locks/mud guards)
Doc fee: $99
Tax: $1115
Tags: $237
OTD: $19941
Edmunds TMV: $18853 --- Got mine for $18360 (or 18490 incl extras)
I used the special APR and got Atomic Blue. Love the color!! The deal was worked out online so no hassles when I went in. They even had my tags in stock (I got the "bay plate" and I didn't expect them to have the special ones on site but they did).
Also, Norris has an "Extra Mile Plan" that is FREE and includes lifetime engine/transmission protection, free unlimited car washes, $9.95 oil changes and others.
My Sister just for a 2010 Civic LX. She said she thought she got a good deal with $17,750 + Tax + DMV. So I thought I should start there, so I knew that the difference with the LX and LX-S was $600, so I negotiated down to $18,200.
I thought I was getting a deal, but luckily they left me in the office for a while, and I went HERE, and have been seeing crazy lower prices. After seeing this forum, I decided to walk.
**sigh**
What prices should I be expecting (in CA) for a 4 Door LX or LX-S?
Thanks In Advance.
the deal is good till 5/3 according to the website.
They said they've already applied the $1000. Does that sound right? Or should I be able to apply this after?

I recently received word from a CT dealer--after I went ahead and purchased locally in NY--that his dealership is now willing to work deals that include both the $1000 cash back AND the 1.9% financing!
I found the dealer--Executive Honda in Wallingford--through Truecar.com. If interested, contact the internet sales manager.
Best of luck to all!
It's either the incentive or the financing. Not both.
I've never seen this before. What a time to buy a new Honda!
But, I agree, it's time to buy one now!
Your credit doesn't have to be perfect but it does have to be good and most people fit into that catagory.
2010 Civic LX-S Sedan.
I'm also shopping for a Honda Care Extended Waranty. So far Hyannis Honda is the cheapest at $25 below Sacucci and Bernardi is higher. I plan on using Hyannis Honda? Bob there was very nice on the phone.
Thanks
Is this quote for Civic LX A5 Sedan? I am also looking for one, can you give me
the name of this dealer?
He knows you will simply print out his written quote and use it against him.
That's a great way to lose a sale over 25.00 and he knows it.
If other stores do send you written quotes, call that other store last and let them know what you have.
Just make sure everything is disclosed. Accessories? Destination charges?
Edit - FYI that I did ask my dealer, they weren't sure.
I'm still trying to figure out WHY anyone would want one of these?
In my neck of the woods, natural gas stations are few and far between.
Still the difference in price between an LX and a GX would buy a LOT of gas!

They sell Honda Care cheap. I bought Honda care from them for my 2010 V.
6yr/80m $725
7yr/80m $775
8yr/100m $1,045
I bet for Civic is even cheaper. This is geniune Honda Care. I paid using credit card and got the Honda Care package in 2 wks from HONDA.
Also, you can get $ back from Honda if you sell your car before the extended warranty expires.
