"09 Civic-LX-S Invoice Offer"
. . . has nothing to do with your commuter car, for example
Thanks
2006-2008
2009
Call me crazy, but they both appear to have the same creased bumper at the front corner of the car. The wheels aren't good-looking though, I'll grant you that. To me though, the differences are VERY minor between the two cars; smart on Hondas part, in my opinion anyway. The Civic is selling like CRAZY, so there's no need to mess with a good thing.
No kiddin'! That's why I labled it with 2006-2008 above it. I showed a Civic like yours to show the differences/similarities with the "refreshed" 09 model.
1. Is the gas mileage for the SI really as good as the posts I saw in the MPG forum? I own an Acura TL-S with 260 hp and I consistently get 24mpg with a/c on, 26 with a/c off. So to go to a smaller car, I would need to see mpg that averages over 30, otherwise it doesn't really make sense to buy.
2. What is this issue I've vaguely heard about on the SI- something like the throttle sticks in third gear, or something to that effect. Has that been corrected? I heard it was an electronic glitch.
If anyone out there has purchased an 09 SI Sedan, I'd love to hear your comments.
Thanks!
Black Book is what the dealerships normally look at, not the Kelly Blue Book and the dealership normally always try to give you Average not the Clean Price, which is normally about a thousand or more over Average depending on the condition of your car. They tried that with me on a one year old honda Accord and then changed it to Clean when I brought this to their attention.
Not only that, the mileage will play a part as well. Low mileage gives you more money and more mileage then normal you will take a bigger hit.
Or... since the Hybrid is such a great car with great fuel economy and has an extended warranty, why not just keep it? :surprise:
USED, NOT CERTIFIED
2006 EX AT Sedan, 36k miles: $15,200
I saw the car and it looks in very good condition.
The CarFax report came out clean. One owner.
NEW: 2009:
4D SEDAN AT LX: $17200 including destination charge.
Other only fees are TTL.
4D SEDAN AT LX S: $17,750 including destination charge.
Other only fees are TTL.
No matter what car I buy, I would finance. I have excellent credit and I'm sure I'll qualify for the 1.9%, 36 months or 3.9% 60 months. I have no idea what APR I would get if I get the used one.
Are these good deals? Am I better off buying used or new given these offers? I'm afraid that if I buy used, once I add any extended warranty and probably pay a higher APR, the price would probably be as much as buying new.
Any probability that Honda APR would go even lower (0%?) after 1/09?
Please advise. This forum is great.
Thanks!
I'd have to go through my email to double-check the dealer. I've received so many quotes from different dealers that I'm starting to lose track. I'm sure I can find it, though. What if we can join forces and probably go to this dealer and request an even lower deal?
Let me know if you have any idea of how we can go about this.
Thanks.
That question has been asked quite a bit on different forums here and the consensus is that it won't help you. Buying more than one vehicle at the same time is still treated like seperate purchases.
i didn't care for the extras but they were included:
- 4 wheel locks nuts
- tinted windows
- trunk tray
- moon roof visor
does anyone know the invoice prices for the front, side and rear under spoiler? thinking of buying them.
thanks...

I will (hopefully) soon be a first time new car buyer and hoping that I can enlist your opinions regarding two vehicles that are in two completely different classes . I am currently torn between purchasing a 2009 Honda Civic EX-L with Nav, versus a comparably equipped Nissan Altima Coupe. Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Contrary to what others are saying about the Civic, I still love mine even with the few warranty issues that honda has had to correct. Is it a pain to sit in the waiting room to get these things corrected...YES! But I bought a 1st year model...my bad, and things happen. But i felt...and still do, that it was the car that fit my needs...and wants perfectly. The only other cars I considered were the Volvo S40, a bit pricey, and the Nazda 3 which the wife owns.
Great car overall.

Or one could argue that in today's economic climate, with the auto market as depressed as it is, ANY day is a good day to buy a car.
I will be shopping in Portland / Salem, OR.
Can anyone tell me what the dealer invoice is for an EX, 2-door, manual trans?
There opening offer is $19.1, thou I see in the other forums where peeps are picking them up for 17.5.
Thoughts?
Thanks ! ! !
This is for a 2009 Civic EX.
The problem is this:
1) I use the remote to unlock the car.
2) I open the door, then I close the door.
My previous Honda (Accord) would at this time disable the alarm for ever.
But - the Civic again alarms after a few minutes.
3) If now after a few minutes I open the door again, or if I'm inside if I start the car, in either case the alarm starts blaring. :mad:
I've to click on unlock again to quieten the alarm.
This is quite poor behavior - there are a few cases when I have to unlock the door and then do something else for a few minutes - like fix something in the car, or if outside, then remove snow from the car, etc.Seems like a very poor alarm implementation, is there something I'm missing - is there some way to permanently keep the alarm shut until I start the car after unlocking it?
Dealer took one more hour and could not fix it. They are stumped - so will be going back in later. This is a bummer... I suspect in cases like this the dealer is just going to try to keep swapping parts until it works...
The problem is the front hood. It slopes down and I can't see the front of the hood.
Can anyone give me some feedback on how it is driving like this. I'm short but I've spoken to other people and none of them can see the front hood. How can you park with no reference. Please help
It's more of a feeling than an direct eye-to-eye comparison.
I've learned that on about my last 4 cars.
It's been over 15 years since many sedans/coupes were made where you could see the front of the hood. Below are cars from the eighties, and then new models available today.

I just was more cautious at first, probably staying a little further back than I had to. After a while you just get a sense of where that front end is at. I understand your concern though and as others have said, a lot of cars just don't give you that reference point anymore. As a matter of fact turn around and look back and see if you can see your trunk lid. Very few cars give you that view either, yet you do learn to approximate.

feel a lot more confident. Thanks to you all for your input and advice and for letting me know that it's not just because I'm short (5 feet) that I can't see over the hood. I've been driving the same car (Ford Escort) for 11years so I know things have changed. The tips on parking were very helpful. If anyone has some more please let me know. There seem to be a lot of very nice people on this site.
