$19,600 seems like a good deal, being about $300 under invoice. What dealership is this from? Bring it over to Continental Honda (Mike Bromer, great manager) and they should be able to beat it a bit.
thank you
My original quote from Westbrook Honda (closest one to me) was much over invoice but I called and asked if they would match the quotes from the other dealerships and the guy said yes.
thank you
My salesperson wasn't around, it took 10 minutes and asking 4-5 people before anyone could even find out where he was. I was then informed he was out on a test drive with another customer.
I sat around for 30 minutes and nothing. I got up and left. Maybe I was just being anal, but I have no patience for that kind of behavior. It sucks because they are the closest dealership to me, but Westbrook Honda just lost a potential customer.

Thanks
So far I've negotiated with Bill Page:
16500 + TTL (destination included)
I just received an email from Hendrick Honda.
They advertised for a Honda Civic LX Auto (19 of them)
$15758 + destination + TTL
Actually this is a little higher than what he quoted me, $15742 two weeks ago.
What I hate is the processing fees, $299-399, in this area!
If anyone in the area is thinking about buying a civic, let me know and maybe we can arrange a group price!
Invoice: 16,349.47
D&H: 635.00
Holdback: -355.20
Total Invoice: 16,629.27
Profit: 500.00
1/2 D&H 99.73

Total: 17,229.00
3.9% financing for 60 mo
From what I've read I think this sounds pretty fair but I haven't checked with any Colorado dealers yet. I might try to get some free all weather floor mats out of the deal at this price but has anybody heard about anyone doing 2.9% financing? I will be deciding today or tomorrow so any help would be great.
- The price I was given was $16,629, which includes destination fee already.
- To the above price I only needed to add the usual tax/title/etc.
- Sales tax were 6.5% (I was told sales tax in IL will go up to 7% April 1st - I don't know if that is true).
- Out of the door price: $18,138
- Finance rate for 60 mos. was 3.9% (again, they told me that rate is going away very soon). No money down was required.
Maybe I could get a better price if I shopped around a little more, but I feel that I got a decent deal and a very straight forward experience.
I got the car at Rosen Honda of Gurnee and I have no complaints about the service, considering it was a busy Saturday after a snowstorm.
profit if I don't know exactly what he paid for it.

profit if I don't know exactly what he paid for it.
It doesn't matter what the dealer really paid in the end and you're never likely to find out unless you own a car dealership.
offer the dealer invoice, it's listed on edmunds and other places. Then add on the destination charge, and maybe $160 for Dealer Documentation fees. That should be the price you pay for the car. It doesn't matter how much the dealer has paid for the car. it's what you can buy it for.
If you want to see real insanity, get a job working as a driver for a used car dealer and go to the auctions, since you will have to drive a vehicle back.
You will be amazed at what cars truly sell for even only 1 year old. There is a reason car dealers have million dollar showrooms.
Nonetheless, invoice plus destination and a reasonable doc fee is a good price. Yes, you can certainly get below invoice on certain cars. I doubt it's possible on a civic right now buy you can always try and forget the 3-5% profit that's a load of Hooey. No matter what the dealer ends up selling the car for rest assured they ARE making a profit. If they aren't, they wouldn't sell it to you.
This isn't like tipping at a restaurant. The perks for selling in volume are probably far greater than we know.
Invoice or below and walk if you don't get your price. The Honda Dealer i bought from was willing to give me Invoice on everything but a CR-V and a Civic Si and I could have gotten invoice on the Si if I had pushed for it.
The dealer worked so hard to get me into a car that day that I wasn't interested in haggling at the time.
They went all out, unlike the places I went to yesterday looking for a second car. Subaru has mostly rude salespeople or disinterested at best.
Several others were ok. The Toyota guy practically did backflips but he knows he has to wait til my time frame of 2 months as well as several other brands are looked at.
If they know you love the car, they will not drop the price and if you walk away they'll know you'll be back.
Deal with Internet sales managers and tell them what you want and haggle til you get it or buy a car from a dealer or brand that will give you the price you want.
Could you scan your buyer contract (block your personal information) and send it to me, baorulez at gmail dot com?
I am looking to buy a Civic LX auto sedan. The dealers around here would not quote me a reasonable price. They said they would match if they see a buyer contract.
Could someone send me your buyer contract with less than $18000 OTD?
Thanks a lot!

Call Braman Honda West Palm Beach. First offer they emailed was $18,284 OTD for Civix LX Sedan AT.
I just bought a 08 Civic Sedan LX-Manual in the Northern VA area for $17,050 OTD (out-the-door). I don't have receipt in front of me but the invoice including freight was $16100 and the remaining was taxes, tags, and processing.
I really hope this was a good deal because I didn't do a lot of shopping around. What do you guys think?

Thanks.
Price $18,285.23
Trade (500.00)
Fees 38.50
Tax (6%) 1,069.42
Tag/Title 104.85
FL lemon law 2.00
Total OTD 19,000.00
Above price included wheel locks, pin stripes, splash guards, door-edge guards, moonroof visor, floor mats, and trunk tray.
Trade was '95 Accord 224,000 miles with major paint damage, some body damage, bad wheel bearings, bad struts, a/c on last leg, electrical problems and more. The interior looked pretty good. Maybe the dealer got me on the trade, but I don't think it was worth much more than $500. Edmunds indicates a trade-in value of $254 for "rough" condition.
Fees include FL battery and Tire fee, Electronic filing
Tag/title was a transfer.
Honda offered 4.99%, and said 2.99% was not available any longer. My credit score was +800, so that was not an issue. I went with my own financing.
I went to Fort Myers Honda. They did not give me that price in an email. In fact, they where higher than most, but they are my local dealer. I went there, and walked out on their first offer. As I was leaving, the salesperson knocked on my car window with a better offer.
If you want the salesperson's name, send me an email.
MSRP : $23,695
Invoice: $21,846
Are these SI's going at MSRP? Has anyone recently purchased an SI? If so, did you have to pay MSRP? In addition, is the 3.9% APR been extended to April?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Hi does any one out there have any price quote in FL dealer for 2008 Civic LX....?
All I got one with ~ $18,000 OTD (Including FL 6% tax, dealer fee - $495, Tag title $105 etc)
I have seen some of the post here, with $17,340 (OTD).. Do you think I can ask those dealers to go down to $17,000 OTD? This means I am asking final sale price around $15,900 (Including dealer’s fees)
Anyone out there from FL to answer? HELP HELP Pleaaaaaaazzzzzz
MSRP : $23,695
Invoice: $21,846
I paid $22,000 OTD for mine. We have no State tax and registration was not included. Registration figures will vary here depending on if you transfer plates or not.
$22k I think was a good price for me and included a free oil change and gas fill up, haven't used them yet.
Thanks
1) What do you believe constitutes the itemized difference between the manufacturer's invoice and the dealers' invoice?
2) What comprises the doc fee?
3) What comprises the dealer fee?
4) What dealer did you buy from?
I paid $21,599 for the car and $400 for the dealers doc fee. That's it.
1) What do you believe constitutes the itemized difference between the manufacturer's invoice and the dealers' invoice?
Doesn't matter, since you will only pay for the car what the dealer will sell it to you for. If you think you can buy it for what the dealer does, by all means let me know how to do that.
2) What comprises the doc fee?
Total was $400, included all paperwork, a free oil change a full tank of fuel and a free inspection sticker. Plus at my first pay oil change I will get another free tank of gas.
Rip-off? Yep! :surprise:
But at the time it was still better than any of the other dealers and I was in a position at the time where I had to buy a car that day.
3) What comprises the dealer fee?
What dealer fee other than the doc fees? I paid for the car and the doc fees. If you mean my registration that is not a part of the car since i had a 20 day temp plate and if I had transferred plates it would have been much less. So you'll have to define your question.
4) What dealer did you buy from?
Autofair Honda in Manchester, NH overall I have been happy with them. I could have bartered harder and got a better deal. I made them work for what they got and was happy with the deal. If you can do better that's great. I'm sure i could have gotten the price $500 lower but for me it really wasn't worth it.
