Honda Lease Extra Mileage by hondaman2010 Jun 30, 2010 (2:12 pm) I was told when I leased my new 2010 Honda Accord that I would NOT be charged for additional ...
Are you for real? This is your post from 12 months ago that you leased a 2010 accord......
Bro, this is really a silly question. You got to go yourself and seat and test drive both. I sat inside a 2012 Civic i had to run away from it and seat in an Acura just to come back to senses.
I read so many reviews about it and 2012 is a much better car than 2011, and 2011 was a great car to begin with. 2012 is faster, more efficient and has more space, great car but the interior was hideous in my opinion. Go to a dealership an test drive both, it’s not like you have to buy them.
I purchased a 2012 Honda Civic LX Automatic Transmission for $18200 from Ciocca Honda, Harrisburg, PA
In addition I had to pay
1. 6% PA Tax + Title Fees 2. $159 Documentation Fees {charged by the dealer}.
Sales experience was very good, I used 0.9% APR Honda Financing, Did NOT buy any accessories or extended warranties. The initial Internet Price Quote was $18400.
Your price for 2012 Honda Civic LX should be $18200 or lower. Given there is now a manufacturer rebate to dealer from Honda for $500. (Your range should be $17900 - $18000)
Regarding add on fees, you should plan for Sales Tax + Title/Registration fees for your state + document fees ($150).
Also take a look at Honda 0.9 - 1.9% APR financing - A Great Value
I'm getting this quote from dealer for LX-Auto with Leather Seats
The Price Breakdown is as follows $19,040 Your Sales Price on 2012 Civic LX Auto with $780 Honda Delivery Fee included. 1,050 Leather seats Add 150 Tinted Windows 733 All Sales tax 17 State Title Fee 499 Doc fee 189 Registration $21,678 Total Out The Door Price Including All Tax's and Fee's.
With supplies so low dealers can charge what they want.
If you can wait 3-4 months supplies should be better, and thus prices a little lower.
But if you can't wait, go for it. The civic is a great car. It's the size of the Accord from 25 years ago, and so really it's a mid size car at this point, if that makes you feel better about the price.
Sunitj - Yours is the second recent post with a Doc Fee of $499. That seems high to me. I recently purchased a new Honda Pilot (in Texas) and the Doc Fee was $189. The Doc Fee on our Civic purchase a couple of years ago was similar. Maybe for some reason that fee is lower in Texas...
I'd also suggest trying to get them to throw in the window tint and/or other dealer add-ons. If nothing else, it might make you feel a little better about the price. Just a thought...
Are there any alternatives to leather seats/cover that would help with keeping my dog hair off the seats. If there's one for Honda, Civic-2012, I can go with it and save some monay on that front.
I know Honda sells seat covers for the Pilot, but I'm not aware of any for the Civic. There are aftermarket covers available, but I would be wary of fit. It might be worth looking into, though.
I dunno if Sunitj resides in a southeastern state but down here the doc fees are ridiculous, and you really can't get a break because ALL the dealerships around here charge about the same amount. I live in NC, $499 is average. I am from NJ, where the doc fee ranges from $75 to $199. It sucks.
I signed a deal with my local dealer to trade in my 2009 HCH with 31,xxx miles to get a 2012Honda Civic LX with wheel lock, mud guard and etc. I'll need to pay $1,500 plus the TTL.
I purchased a 2012 LX during the July 4th 0.9 APR deal and requested a color (provided two options) that they did not have in stock. It has been almost a month now and they still haven't located my color which a reasonable amount of miles on it (as a new car). Is this ridiculous or is the market really that thin right now?
Why advise someone to pay the document fee? That fee is nothing but pure profit for the dealer. It is not required by law or any other basis. When I buy, I always have the price reduced to account for the document fee. If I agree to a price of $25,000 and the dealer insists on a $99 document fee, I simply insist the dealer reduce the price to $24,900 plus $99. In my experience not many dealers will lose a sale over the document fee. In my state the document fee appears to be limited to $99, which is not too bad. In my nieghboring state the fee is up to $399. No way I would ever pay a dealer $399 or more for them to complete the "documents". Buyers should recognize there is always another dealer down the road who will "waive" the document fee.

Looking on this site there is a prices paid or true market price. Does this include the additional 599 that all florida honda dealers add on. I know the civic coupes are in demand and thought I had a good deal but when you add the fees or out the door price it seems high, any suggestions. 20696 includes dest on EX with taxes.fees comes to 23150 thanks for any comments
Hi there! I went to a Honda dealership today and I really want to buy a 2012 Civic 2Dr Coupe LX in blue upgraded with leather seats and the dealer quoted me $21, 225. That's not including any dealer fees, tax, etc. I felt that it was quite high. Any advice? I'm currently thinking about just going for a 2011 Toyota Camry with leather seats for $17,000 (+ fees) because it seems a sweeter deal. Pro's/Con's or comparison of these two would be greatly appreciated! Or just any feedback on the price. Thanks guys!
I'm going tonight to pick up my 2012 EX-L with/Nav Sedan. I offered $22,958 + TTL and it was accepted. This is $1,207 below the Edmunds True Market Value so I feel like its a good deal. Is it?
Hey, I too got the same quote from the dealer in El Cerrito on a 2012 Civi LX A/T .. Do you think its a worth while deal..they are quoting a higher APR since im a first time buyer..
Did they ever fix the omission of not having a trunk opener on the key fob yet? This is the one thing I hate about my '06 LX...even my '03 Sentra GXE had this feature! It can't be that much more $ to include this feature on the whole Civic lineup I'd think. And did they really drop down to 15" steelies for 2012? I've got the 16" wheels and the car does drive very smoothly. Ditto on the wife's Mazda3. Both kids have the 15" wheels on their rides and am not a huge fan. But I thought I had seen where Honda did indeed drop down a size for 2012. Again, if they did, what could the reason be?

I offered 22,500, dealer came down to 22,691. I may be settling for the EX-L w/o Nav for 21,500. Still negotiating. Is that a good price, or can I go lower?
Hello, i am getting a OTD price of $19,210 for a 2012 civic lx sedan. I feel the doc fee is high and i have no idea what $29 sticker fee is. However, the dealer has a $750 finance dealer cash promotion going on right now. So, $19210 minus the $750 is $18,460 and I'm thinking i can try to get them to lower the doc fee to $100 or so and remove the $29 sticker fee which would knock off another $229. So, best case scenario is $18,460 - $229 = $18,231 OTD. Would that be a good deal? By the way, i am located in Connecticut/Massachusetts.
MSRP - $19,425 Bottom line price w/ destination fee- $17,655 Tax (6.25%)- $1,103 New plates - $125 Documentation fee- $298 Sticker- $29 Out the door price - $19,210

hi all ,am planning to buy a 2010 honda civic EX-L 30k miles from a dealer for $17,299,the car is 1 and a half year old .this is the offered price on internet am planning to negotiate it for 16k,do you think this is a good deal for honda civic,can someone please suggest.am from detroit,michigan,the car is honda certified
Hi I got a quote for a 2dr Honda Civic Coupe LX Auto for $15,988 excluding any fees to be financed with Honda financing. I probably need to check with what the dealer fees are. But is this too good to be true given that used 2010 versions are going for that price or higher?
Hi I'm also looking to get a new Civic LX Sedan and was wondering what the final price you paid was. I had an offer from Boch Honda for a 2011 Civic Coupe LX auto for $15988 including destination charge excluding all other fees.
I'm looking to get a Civic LX in the MA area as well. Did you go to Boch Honda? Were they shady? What was your out the door price? Do you have any tips for me as I go about my Honda purchase?
Hi, I am also looking to buy a civic lx 4 door automatic sedan. I am in MA. Would love to hear what people paid OTD in MA. I am hoping to pay 18,800 to 19,000 OTD. I will be paying cash total amount.
Hi i got the same quote from boch honda. comes out to be $17,411 OTD. Not a bad price. Any chance these are showroom models? (Do they even sell cars shown in the showroom?)
The Honda Salesman that was dealing with us told his that the tsunami and its aftermath in Japan has really slowed down production of 2012 Honda Civics. Considering that, I'd like to think my price was a bit inflated. The salesman showed us an invoice of $17,771 for a 2012 Honda Civic LX after destination charge and they gave it to me for $17,971 and free window tint. I'd say it wasn't a bad deal because we got pretty much the same quote for a 2011 Toyota Corolla LE and there were NO other Honda Civic LXs available in our area.
I've had the car for one day and I love it so far, especially the Rallye Red Color.
Wow, that almost sounds too good to be true. Dealer cost is $17,769 after destination/add fees and subtracting holdback (according to true car) for a 2012 4 dr lx aut sedan. Add taxes 6.25%, doc fees, and registr. on top of that. Wondering if I am missing something with my calculation.
Hi, I am looking for Civic Lx 4dr sedan in MI. What is the good price on it? the dealer give me OTD price near 19400 without plate! Is it a good deal? Thx!!
OTD prices are useless, unless you're comparing with someone else that lives in your county/state. Tax, title, license, and maximum doc fees vary widely from state to state and county to county. Someone living in one state can't compare their OTD price with someone living in another state, unless you break down the price into base cost (w/ destination charge) + tax + title + license + any misc. dealer fees.
It's diffficult to say w/o knowledge of the Aftermarket adds and your tax , fees breakdown.
I'm in Houston and received a quote yesterday from a dealer in Dallas for a 2012 EX of $20,052 or 450. over invoice. At 6.25% tax w/fees of 250-would be 21,555 OTD. If your A/M equipment is worth the additional 1100. to you then go for it
Civic production is just picking up- We have several large dealers in our Metro area and most have very few Civics. If you can get invoice or under would consider it a good deal at this time.
If you can wait- Do it. Pricing will get better in next couple of months.
I was also given an offer of 2012 SE Accord for 20,969 or 1500 under invoice. Much improved inventories....
Couldn't agree with you more. Base price is what everyone should be discussing. Should also note that destination is included- unavoidable for all of us.
Anyone can then add TTL and local fees to get the OTD price for their region.
Over $22k for a Civic? Ain't that a bit pricey for a compact car...really? And for this latest model? Wowser...there are other cars out there that are so much better, in looks & performance I'd bet. $22k for a Civic?

Inventory levels are going up so you guys should be able to get better deals within the next few weeks
I bought my 2011 Civic in March and the cars.com inventory level was ~1100 Civics in my area (right before the part shortage thing started), over the summer and including last month it stayed around 200-250 Civics -- I just checked today and its up to 700 Civics so much better than the past few months but not as good as normal levels earlier this year
in NJ, a 2012 Civic EXL can be had for 20,300 (includes destination & fees), but this is a "friends & family" price. just some extra info for you folks to utilize in negotiations. i've decided on a '12 Subaru Impreza instead of a Civic, for just a few hundred more oyu get AWD and a much better car overall.
