I got somebody quoting me for $17950 and OTD is $19557. This is for 2006 Honda Civic Coupe EX AT black w/o Navi. What do you think? Invoice for the EX is $17442.

thebill

500 over invoice.

whats wrong with that?

Enjoy your new civic.

Consumer Reports small car of the year! Just announced today!

My Honda has developed a big problem. It starts revving faster and faster as I'm driving. The brakes help a little, but I have to put the emergency brake on, which doesn't stop it completely, and turn it off.

The first time,in Dec., the dealer told me rodents had made a nest. This week it did it again only worse. My mechanic told me there is no nest, but couldn't find anything wrong. Due to go to dealer tomorrow. Feel like it's my coffin.

klughing

When people talk about the buying price, either at invoice or 500 over invoice or MSRP, do they usually include the destinatin charge?

klughing

Well i was willing to go to anywhere as far as LA to get the car so i search everywhere between LA and SD. Finally, i got one that has the car i want and for the price i like in Santa Ana Honda. Quote: 17990. OTD 19621.46
2006 Honda Civic Coupe EX AT black

thebill

I wish they would. Destination is non-negotiable.

However, some dealers (usually not reputable ones) will quote prices not including it b/c consumers shop so much they want their deal to be as attractive as possible.

cacivic

That is a good price klughing. The best I could get was Penske Honda in Ontario for $20300 OTD. I wonder if they would give me the same quote. Did you get that through negotiation or an online quote?

cacivic

Great Deal! Which CA dealer did you go too?

klughing

Online. I'm quite happy with the price. 2 weeks ago, the lowest i could get was $18400, which would give me $20300 OTD (and they didn't really have the specific car i wanted). So when this dealer gave me that price, and he had the car, i just jumped right in.

cacivic

I think I will email them right now and see if I can get the same. Was it the internet manager that gave the quote? I'm looking for a Galaxy Gray EX AT. I envy you!

klughing

Yeah, it's the Internet Sales Manager. The person was nice too.

cacivic

If I might ask how was the delivery of the car go when you picked it up? Did you just sign the papers and it was pretty much and 'in and out' experience? Did you get haggled much for options, etc...? Did you finace or pay cash? How long have you had your EX now and how do you you like it? Sorry...lot of questions!

klughing

Lot of questions? no problem. That's what the forums are for.
Let me just tell you the whole story.
Weekend: Asked for online quote.
Monday: Given the online quote, the guy said he has the car that i wanted coming tuesday or wednesday.
Wednesday: the guy called, car is in, i reached the dealer around 8 at night. He showed me the car, we took a spin around the area. We parked. I played around with all the stuff, open the trunk, turned on the radio, played w/ the controls. And then i filled out the papers. Confirmed the price. And then finally, went to the ?manager? (the one inside the office usually), signed more stuff. done. Didn't really get haggle much. maybe because it's like 9pm? Paid cash. I bought the car 2 days ago. I think i heard the noises that everybody's been complaining about. But i just gotta wait for solutions from Honda or dealers (keep reading the forum). I can't really say a lot, having the car for only 2 days. But as far as apperance, of course i like it.

cacivic

Well Thank You for the very detailed experience. I plan on buying mine cash too but I was going to try and wait till the price comes down although I'm not sure if that will happen soon. Demand still seems to be high. I will email him and hopefully get the same price quote as you.
Thanks again!

After reading rave reviews on the new CIVIC. I contact and agree to buy a from Cardirect with the assumption that if I do not like the car I would get my deposit back, they asked me to putdown $250 deposit. After driving for 50 miles to get to the recommended dealer, I test drive the car, I don't really like it. They do not give you the deposit back, I lost $250 to Carsdirect. They change their policy the $250 is NON-REFUNABLE.

So, you should go to dealer, test drive the car; if you like it, ask them to match Cardirect price and forget about Cardirect.

Honda really hit a bulls-eye with the new Civic.

For anyone in the Baltimore area, I went in to Norris Honda and got a quote below invoice on a civic EX. Apparently they are a new dealership and are trying to get their name out (I guess its working). Unfortunately, they didnt have the color I wanted so ended up going elsewhere myself.

Just having that quote from them though ended up being very useful. Stopped by another dealer on my way home and used the quote from Norris as leverage. Managed to get my civic EX for $19169 out the door. Paid $100 more but got the car I wanted now instead of in three or four weeks.

integradriver

I got $16200, including Destination on an in stock vehicle. Also got a different dealer to agree to $16100 on a locate.

codym

I figure i could bring him down to that, what was your total after TT&L?

onglidepath

Does anyone have a buying experience in the Boise, Idaho area? I would even go to Salt Lake City or Portland, Oregon for a good deal. I’m looking for a 2006 Honda Civic LX sedan A/T.

codym

That is the exact car im looking for, Except in Dallas Texas, or close. The best quote i can get is $17,500+TTL.

yugin

I've got that car for 16,800 plus tax and license in Spokane (Valley Honda).

sandy76

I got a quote from a dealer in centra PA:
06 Civic LX w/AT: 16,165 + 550 + tax 6% + TLL 157.50
Total: 17,875.40

Do you guys think this is a good deal in centra PA?

laconte

I purchased 06 Civic Sedan w/AT from Dick Brooks Honda in Greer, SC. I obtained internet quote via Edmunds.com and agreed on price by phone w/Internet Sales Mgr. before traveling to dealer. Waited 5 days for Civic delivery from factory. No trade-in, so simple transaction. Again, no last-minute surprises with upcharges etc. Price agreed was price paid.

$16,750 OTD (meaning state tax & all fees included)

jmurman42

$16,750 OTD, thats a excellent price! I guess that South Carolina must not have much in the way of taxes for cars.

sandy76

New quote from the dealer after I contacted him again:

$17,621.00 OTD price for 06 Honda civic LX w/ AT in centra PA.

How do you guys think?

Thanks a lot!

Have you seen many Civic manuals of any kind? I am amazed at how few there are so far. I have not seen a sedan with a manual yet. I have only seen a couple of manual coupes on the lot. It appears that there are a higher percentage of manual Accords than Civics. This doesn't make much since to me.

I have a Sedan EX 5MT w/Navi. $19,128.00 includes dest. and doc. Bought the thursday before x-mas.

06 EX Sedan
Inside w/Navi

This is a edited repost cause HOST didnt like linky to dealer. ( rolls eyes )

Mark Roberts Motors, Bartlesville, Ok.
The prices include dest. fee. Doc fee is a adder of $49.00. There prices always beat TOV and Carsdirect. Its a great shoping aid.

Hi,
I am planning to buy a new Honda Civic LX in Austin area. Does anyone know how and where to get the best price?

lafayette

Coincidentally, I'm on the way to pick up the same vehicle from Ray Price Honda in E. Stroudsburg right off I 80. They didn't have my color but located it in one day. The internet saleslady was as efficient as could be. The price was $16150 - including destination charges! plus sales tax and doc fee for a total cost of $17222.50.

I'm not allowed to mention her name, apparently, but here is the dealer info:

Ray Price Honda Mazda Lincoln-Mercury
Route 447
East Stroudsburg, PA 18301

You can get a quote from her via Honda.com

Good luck!

I'm trying to locate an 06 Civic EX Sedan w/Auto & NaviLink in Atomic Blue. I've been told they are rarer than hen's teeth.
Does anybody have any experience with finding this particular combination? Any tips? Pricing?
Thanks very much.
BTW - I'm in the Phoenix, AZ metro area.

jmurman42

Ok..so I'm bored here at work. I ran a locate for AZ, NM and CA for a Atomic Blue Civic Sedan EX/Nav.

AZ-zip, zilch..nada

NM-one being built for Perfection in Rio Rancho midApril

CA a few not many but 8-10 on the ground and a few more being built.

If you are set in stone on Atomic Blue, you might have a dealer order one for you to be built.

Good luck.

I live in the Nashville, Tennessee area and I am looking for the best price on a Civic LX MT Red. I am willing to travel to other states within 600 to 700 miles.

aswo1

Wolfchase Honda in Memphis sold me in January an EX 5MT w/Navi for $400 over invoice. They did a dealer trade for me. Had the car in two days.

codym

Please explain how you got that out the door price from sams club.. Im trying so hard to match a price like that, the best i can do on the LX AT is $19,000 Out the door.... this is from dallas texas..

"Please explain how you got that out the door price from sams club.. Im trying so hard to match a price like that, the best i can do on the LX AT is $19,000 Out the door.... this is from dallas texas.."

Yo codym....DO NOT buy the AT LX for that kinda money. It IS a rip off. You can do a lease (which gives you the option to buy) for about 3 grand less through D&M. They buy the cars at invoice to lease, then you just put your cash down and make plans to buy the car at the end...OR if you choose not to buy, then give it back. No hassle. I'm working with D&M right now for mine...an AT LX Coupe....my guy told me flat out that you'll save a ton of cash going that route. If you absolutely HAVE to buy on your own....do NOT offer any more out the door than $17,500. The Dallas area dealerships have a huge bug up their butt about the Civic. Yes, it's a nice car and it's won an award or two...but do not let that fact make you shell out an extra 3 grand for it. Be smart, seriously.

First number MSRP, Second number Sale Price. Dest. included. Add a $49.00 Doc fee. That will be your out the door price. TTL isnt part of the deal here in Ok.
Mark Roberts Motors, Bartlesville, Ok.

Dont let the Dallas dealers burn you. I shoped down there on my Accord purchase. Was insane some of the numbers they where throwing around.

integradriver

TTL is going to vary by state and circumstances.

$16200 Civic (incl Dest)
$445 DE Doc Fee
<$206> DE Doc Fee Credit (no trade, previous vehicle stolen)
$150 or so for PA Temp Tag and 5 Year DE Hard Tag
$50 or so Dealer Doc Fee

So I paid about $16600 On the road, out the door etc.

tieungao35

i bought one and outdoor price is $17700. Hope it help someone here.
PS: i live in san jose.

jmurman42

Aprils allocation for Civic Sedan 8% Navi and 5% for Coupes. Evidently there are some isues with the "supply chain" according to Honda.

Manual transmissions are still in tight supply, with a few being released...there is no reason for the tight supply for manuals.

lafayette

Take a ride! At 40 mpg, you'd use about $50 worth of gas to get home. Of course, you'll have to hitchhike across I 80 to get to Stroudsburg, PA.

Have fun!
