Those alloys are expensive and the price is an EXCHANGE price. We keep your old wheels.
Heck, for another 7-800.00 you could get an EX!
MSRP, Invoice Price, all those information are good to know. However they didn't mean anything. Bottom line is Market Price that is what you pay for your car. There are too many Honda dealers in So Cal, price is all over the place you could pay up to thousand of dollar difference between one dealer and the next one down the street. Not even mention huge difference of buying experience from one to the other dealership. Just wondering anyone has any good/bad experience to share in So Cal.
Most Honda dealers want $800-$1300 for a set of Honda alloys...
I agree... If you really want Honda OEM alloys, you are better off going with the EX.. You'll at least have a little higher resale.. An LX w/alloys isn't worth much more than one without them..
Otherwise, get the LX and buy aftermarket..

Thanks
If you buy aftermarket wheels be VERY careful! Sometimes, the offsets are wrong and this can cause big problems.
Good luck on your quest for invoice pricing!
Thanks very much,

Extended Warranty
7 years/100,000 miles warranty: ($100 deductible = $649.00) OR ($0 deductible = $749.00)
7 years/120,000 miles warranty: ($100 deductible = $749.00) OR ($0 deductible = $849.00)
2006 Civic EX, automatic including destination $18,650.
Thanks for the replies.
Pretty lofty goal on a car that is red hot and almost impossible to find in a NAVI!
Good Luck!
You seemed to think he wanted NAV. He said:
"...civic ex 4-dr no NAV...$19722.00"
$18640- that includes $550- destination(and $140 doc fee -didn't feel like arguing)
only other charges were "state specific" tax 6%, 4 year registration w/ new plate $300 and change, and $7.50 new tire fee. (Mats and Wheel locks were included). Out the door for under $20,000 with everything, feel good about deal.
This is Central NJ. I had bought a vehicle from dealer previously. Essentially bought vehicle on phone, with info from all great posts here. Goal was to match Mark Roberts price, and did, more or less.
Although these are easier to find, they are still not "invoice" cars. If they are, that is one ruined marketplace!
Agreed, they're probably not "invoice" cars...yet. See the 2007 Hyundai Elantra? That'll provide some interesting competition, and exert some downward price pressure.
As used cars, we can't seem to give them away.
I guess things could change in the future?
A brief plug here for the winning dealer: Landmark Honda in Alexandria, VA. In the door and on the road in one hour and 15 minutes. No games, no tricks. Price agreed on e-mail negotiations was price I paid. One thing I noticed while there:: every buyer seemed to be happy with their deal... truly a great experience!
So, I don't know...maybe they sell better in other parts of the country?
Wow. That sounds like a quote from Detroit in the 1970's, no? Be careful. Everything I've read about the newer Hyundais is that there're vastly better than even a few years ago.
We shall see.
Toyota's got a new Corolla on the way, too. I read that when they saw the new Civic, they sent it back for restyling, because the Civic looked so much better. :-)
It's great that there are so many excellent vehicles available at these price points. Competition keeps a lid on prices.
Time will tell, I suppose.
My notes has invoice for the ex at $17,614, so my last quote of 18350 (w/dest,w/propack) puts me at about $200 over invoice. Assuming the propack is worth something, thats a deal.
I would be not be inclined to do the extended warranty on the Honda. That is unless you have bought a known lemon. This is a GREAT way to get everything that is lemonish replaced !!
Kidding aside, or indeed if you do plan to buy a known lemon, I got an extended warranty on a 2001 Z06 and at a GREAT rate. Yes I did have to fulfill on a computer system piece that failed prematurely. But believe it or not, it was LESS than the premium !!!!! So close to the end of the extended warranty period the insurance company is still WAY ahead. (450 dollar fix with a 950 extended warranty cost)
So, I locked in my EX Honda price and at the end they added a $40 doc fee and $28 electronic filing fee. I didn't fee like arguing on these. I did discover that the trunk tray was missing and they wanted to charge me for that as an extra. So I prepared to walk but after the salesguy spoke to his "manager" they gave it to me for free. Not bad, $200 over invoice.
Also what is a fair price to expect on my trade in. I got 136,000 miles on it and the car has flood title on it. I was thinking 1000 bucks for the trade? Seem reasonable?
Destination charges are for real. We pay the 550.00 and pass that amount on. Doc fees can vary by huge amounts. We charge 35.00 but I've read of doc fees exceeding 500.00. That's nuts!
Doc. fees vary, some will negotiate w/o them but then adjust the selling price and write them back in on the invoice. Negotiate with these fees included.
I guess there is only one way to find out what kind of deal I can get. I am in the Atlanta area so I will be contacting all the dealers within the week.
I invite you to read the following postings on this forum: 3330, 3424, 3344, 3350. All information is correct on the postings and it makes it easy for a saleman to go to his sales manager and get your deal approved if it's presented as shown.
Demand for a car is a highly regional phenomenon. I am seeing clear signs of slowing demand here in north FL for 2006 Civics. I see one dealer has a new Civic hybrid that been on the lot for 3.5 weeks now and new EXs and LXs sitting. Good luck and have fun with the buying process.
I need to make a decison this week. Thanks!
A better solution for you would be to just buy a car that isn't as popular. The market determines pricing.
It is amazing how much belly aching someone can do because a product is in demand and with a comparative price.
Isell is only part right, but supply and demand works. If we as consumers, stop demanding as much, prices will drop, they have to.
