Going back over the last two months of posts it seems that March was good for a purchase and HF's So.Cal. interest rates and OTD's are going to be hard to beat in the NE in April.
You saved me a bunch of time chasing a few hundred $ numbers alltold paid out over 60 months. Much appreciated.
This is a great deal . Could you please send the details . Which vendor and break for OTD for fincance or cash down
We need numbers in a logical manner.........
So, when you have the absolute, rock-bottom OTD price that no other dealer shows any interest in trying to beat, regardless of the doc fee, how is that "getting hosed"?
Negotiable? Sure, if I was the dealer, who knows he gave me a damn good OTD price, I would say, "bring me someone else's mail quote to you that is lower than $18,978, and I will adjust my price."
Maybe some folks would just sleep better at night paying a higher OTD price with a low doc fee, huh? That way, they can rest easy knowing they didn't get "hosed".......
Decent price and you did NOT get "hosed"... additionally, poster [u]lakerskobe[/u] failed to designate whether it was a Garden or Firemen's
Those reading the forums have read of lower prices over these last several months - I think I remember 17k as bottom - but MY direct request to support u]lakerskobe's[/u] 17k claim was met with their obtuse response as can be read here at message #10477 http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.eea7241/10476#MSG10476
Yours is a solid price... ignore any "trolling" from low-post "members" and BS numbers... and enjoy the car!
I paid $17k + $80 doc fee. I used Truecar and no other dealers would go lower than $17.8k.
Instead of WHOLLY insupportive commentary for those perusing the forum, there are PLENTY of FREE sites to which you can upload a direct/cropped scan or a smart-phone cropped pic of the buyer's order to support your claim.
Congrats on seller's $80 doc cap (State based?) for the buyer, and be thankful you don't live in Illinois and wanted to do a lease

Sandman offers sound advice: Shoot for the bottom line and let the dealer arrange the numbers however they wish.
If a buyer is happy with the deal they got, telling them they shouldn't be seems pointless.
As you probably know, you've got quite a few Honda dealerships to choose from in the metroplex. I'd contact them all!

i called 6 other dealerships & i was quoted over $19,100 each. i'm going to the dealership on monday to finalize everything & hopefully get my new wheels!
Breaks down to 18863 sale price + 80 doc fee + 18 registration charge + 1555 taxes + 233.75 official fees
thanks to all here for the help!
I also got the 1.9% financing for 60 months.
Sounds like BS to me.
I'm looking for that car now, I wish to know how much the cost is the best price to buy.
Please help. Thanks.
The best time to buy though would be when the 2014 Civics start rolling out (if you're willing to wait that long). When the newer models arrive, dealerships are eager to clear out their older stock. Hope this helps. Good luck on getting a great deal on a great car!
Also tried Carwoo, which has dealers email you their best price. Their best price was about $800 more than the one I got at Truecar.
Recently bought a new vehicle and got it for several hundred lower than the TC target price.
A good way to estimate a price is to start with the OEM invoice, reduce the invoice by the dealer holdback, then reduce by any incentive both customer and dealer incentives. Of course the invoice price is likely not real as dealers get many other considerations from the OEM. However, this method at leasts assures the buyer won't be hurt too badly.
I've purchased several cars through Truecar and the prices were ALWAYS the lowest!
I got my 2013 Civic LX automatic for $17k via Truecar...... the lowest from Carwoo was $17.8k...... Carsdirect was $18.2k.... and others were $18k-$18.5k range.
They all receive referral fees from dealers so it's irrelevant.
This forum is for buyers to share their experiences. I'm happy you had a good buying experience and believe you got a good deal. That doesn't make everyone else on here stupid, though.
I've responded to you once before when you were bashing someone for their doc fee. Now, I see that you're perfectly content paying (albeit indirectly) a referral fee. Seems to contradict your previous point, don't you think?
Lighten up, man. We're all here to help each other.
$17k isn't an excellent price? It's lower than anyone here has paid, after their outrageous Doc fees. I paid $17k + $80 doc fee. No one here has paid lower.
And I didn't even have to negotiate at all, just printed out the certificate and showed it to the dealer. Not 1 second wasted on negotiations.
The second lowest quote was $800 higher from Carwoo. It's still a good price since the invoice is $18,423.
Maybe know what you're talking about before opening your mouth, mmmmkay?
Once I know what I'm talking about, I'll open my mouth. Until then, I'll just keep typing. "Mmmmkay?"
You seem like a need-the-last-word kind of guy, so have at it.
Honda Civic Lx 2013
only added accessories are door edge film and splash guards
MSRP: $19755 which includes destination fees
Invoice: $18,599
Negotiated price: $17,999
doc and title fees came out to about $378
OTD price was $18,377
I live in a no sales tax state btw.
And got 1.90 for 60 month financing.
I've checked truecar, kbb, edmunds, and nada and they all range from 18.2k to 18.9k for fair purchase price for my area.
And I tried the Costco buying program, but the purchase price of the car would have just been invoice.
Kudos for those of you getting these cars for around 17k. I couldn't get any dealership to budge once I got down to 18k. Mind sharing some negotiating tips?
I bought 2013 Civic LX two days ago. Similar added accessories like yours plus trunk floor guard or something like that, it has total MSRP of $20,650 (obviously very inflated price for accessories). My negotiated price is $16,800. Pretty good price, i know, but i got killed by $499 doc fee and almost $1.4k sales tax, so final OTD is $18,682. Was hoping to pay with my credit card, but they would add the 3% fee to it so i settled with their 36 month 0.9% financing.
How were you able to talk them down to $16,800? That's such a good price, great job on that deal!
p.s. - The sales man told me not to tell people how much i paid for this civic. He said if i told other people of $16.8k he'd just deny he ever sold for that kind of price. lol
confirming this. va dealers beat waymouth bigtime for sell. but on outofstate lease for civics or accords or crvs they were jus ok so went local pa
