Just tells me that I can probaly expect a similar price then, according to the internet salesman who I'm dealing with. A shame that when one sells stock, it takes awhile to get the proceeds. An dthe wife won't let me buy until I have the cash in hand. Already did the test drive so I know what I want and the color. Makes it alot easier. Would put a deposit down right now on a car for the middle of next month, but they want a sale now.

Do make one payment though to avoid a pre payment penalty.
You'll pay a piddly amount of interest but so what?
What part of the country are you in? also, so you recall Costco pricing on the LX sedan?
Thanks!
From what I do remember, it was a very easy process. You can do it over the web or call the number and talk with someone who will tell you which dealership in your area participates in the program. Then you can choose to get the rep's name and make contact yourself or have the rep contact you.
When you meet with the designated Costco rep, he/she shows you the sheet that lists all the model trim levels with the discount (it's either an amount over invoice or an amount from MSRP).
One thing I would tell you to make sure of is that the dealership is using the current pricing. I remember that somewhere on the sheet (I think near the top) it says something like this pricing is for the period of May "xx" through June "xx." So perhaps the amount of discount changes monthly.
For $600 more I got the EX. Out-the-door price for a 2dr coupe EX: $18,600.
Plus I got a APR of 2.65% for 36 months.
I win.
$1376.47 - Sales tax
$10.00 - NY state inspection (they now want another $55 more)
$45.00 - Dealer fees for processing registration/title
$12.50 - Waste tire management fee
$20182.97 - Total cash price - 4dr EX auto
And I got $3700 on a trade of a 2000 EX with 135K+ miles when it wasn’t worth more than $3000 (from everyone I’ve talked to as well as the trade in calculators) because of a dent in the side, hail damage and a bad CAT & O2 censor not to mention whatever has been making 3 different CATs in the past year to go bad! The original and then the other 2 were from places like Midas and no mechanic at any other shop has been able to find out what makes the CAT’s continually fail and the car to completely lose power in traffic on occassion. My last resort was Honda and 6 months ago they said it would cost $1200 for a CAT and new O2 and even then they would have had to try to find out what was making them fail so quick which would mean extra $$ of course.
I’m happy enough 500 miles and everything is fine--save for the air conditioning that takes far too long to pump out the cold air! :mad:
Thanks!
OTD price is $20,373.00
2006 Honda civic EX model automatic with free mudguard, wheel lock,side molding protector and 10% discount coupon for parts and service good for one year! - not bad huh!!!

I thank you in advance for helping an inexperienced buyer out. My co-worker told me about this website- it's great!
I just started looking at the Civic because I like the way it looks. When I stopped by a Honda dealership near my house in Falls Church, VA, I noticed something on the car window stickers.
I know that the car company puts a sticker on the window with the price, but next to this sticker was another smaller one, about half the size. On it says:
Market Adjustment ...... $1995
Wheel Locks ..... $299
Mud Guards ..... $299
Now, I know I'm no expert at this, and maybe the salesman was trying to hoodwink me (I HOPE not because I am female), but aren't these unusually high?
The guy told me that "this is what it costs us." That can't be true, can it?? I cannot for the life of me imagine how four black rubber pieces can cost almost 300 dollars.
Good Luck!

Got a Costco quote of $19,161 before TTL, which is about $1000 over invoice according to Edmunds.
This is from a San Jose dealer.
So your price before TTL must have been around $18,500?
Wow, at least they were honest. I agree with the others, those prices asked are unreasonably high. Whenever I see a dealer that puts a "market adjustment" sticker on, I just walk away and won't waste my time with them.
Does it work well? Big enough upgrade over hooking up the iPod via the Aux input?
What are some other good dealer-installed accessories? Mats? Sunroof visor?
I live in NOVA as well, and the Honda dealers can be pretty difficult to work with when they have a hot car and a lot of demand. Here is my advice:
- Go drive the car (and a few others in its class such as the Toyota Corolla, etc) and decide whether or not you want it.
- You need to decide how much you can afford and which model (DX, LX, EX, coupe, or 4 door) that you want, and what colors you like.
- After you do this, start emailing the local dealerships (you can find this info either on Edmunds or Honda's website).
- I just bought an Odyssey from Hendrick Honda in Woodbridge over the Internet and they were great (they beat every other VA Honda dealers price by $500-1500).
- After you get a few quotes, start emailing the best priced dealers and try to get them as low as you can.
- Make sure they give you a breakdown in the costs and a firm out the door price.
- Use the invoice price on this website as a guide. If you are paying $500-800 over invoice you may be paying too much, but that really depends on the dealer.
- Shopping at the very end of the month can sometimes get you the best deals.
- Don't be afraid to "walk away" from the deal if it does not seem right.
- The Internet is really the best way to negotiate the lowest price.
Good luck!
I will definitely stay away from the dealership I went to, Bill Page. There were other things the salesman said that didn't make sense.
For example, the Civic Hybrid is SO popular that we already sell them all before they even come in. So I see one parked there and ask if it has been sold already. The answer? "No, we can make you a great offer on it!!!" Umm, what? By the way, this is after he spent the whole test-drive I took on the LX bashing hybrids and how they are not worth the money.
Anyway, I guess I've got a tough road ahead of me to get a fair price, but I'll keep getting good info from here. Thanks again!

i called the guy because the price didn't make sense but he sounded older and said he had just lost his license and NO it's NOT wrecked.
This is in the Dayton, OH area. If anyone is interested i'll e-mail you the phone number. if i didn't already have an 06' Accord i'd be ALL over it.....
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I'm down in the Ft. Lauderdale area.

My friend wanted to buy the same car I bought just about a month ago. We go back to the same dealer and salesman, and COULDN"T GET THE SAME PRICE. A lot of it has to do with timing... how many cars they've sold and if they have your car on the lot. It appears to be a pain for them to do transfers.
yes, but its certainly not an exclusive problem. As a matter of fact, I think sharing prices in person may be even worse since there is more humility involved in a face-to-face conversation and someone might be more apt to "enhance" the deal they got.
And, as has been said time and time again over the years, some posters just happen to leave out important details like how they got shafted on their trade-in or bought a car with 1K demo miles.
And, yes, as the poster after you also pointed out, there are the occassions where a special deal happened because you were in the right place at the right time (although this is not the case with the original post isell and I are referring to ... that one is just plain BS, and I think its pretty obvious).
