I found the same invoice price at carsdirect.com and at thetruthaboutcars.com.
My price was extra-low because I was buying two cars (one for my sister and one for my mom). But we were limited to the cars in stock, so we didn't get our first choice of color.
I reread your post about your purchase, and you seemed extremely happy--great negotation process, extremely smooth, etc. That, in my opinion, is worth a lot. So enjoy your new car and don't worry about people getting lower prices. There will always be someone who gets a lower price. I bought a 2007 Odyssey EX-RES in July and was happy with my price of $28,300, which was the best deal I could get at the time. But I just checked the forums and found that there is now a $2000 cashback etc. so the prices are much lower. Part of me feels stupid, but the other part realizes that I did the best I could do at the time. And so did you.
So give yourself a break and stop reading the forums. You're done!
Here is the breakdown:
Sell Price - 17,177.20
Processing Fee - 66.50
License Fees - 39.50
Title Fee - 10.00
Title Tax - 517.31
Dealer's Business License Tax - 34.49
Electronic onLine Filing Fee - 10.00
Total Selling Price - 17,855.00
Less Deposit - (500.00)
Balance Due at Settlement - 17,355.00
I am going to pick it up tomorrow likely and let you know how it goes.
By the way, I moved from NJ to VA.

Thanks.
If I buy a new Honda from the same dealer today, is there any chance they'd take off money to offset overcharging my mom before?
I'd try a different dealer..

As kyfdx said, that would be the last place to get my future business - go elsewhere and let someone else make a profit.

(2008 LX Auto 4 dr)
The OTD price came to about 18600 to 19200.
Does anyone have any ideas about the fair price we can pay in Northeast ohio?
Thanks
Did a lot of Internet research, requested online price quotes from Columbus, Ohio-area dealers, etc. I first was interested in the '08 LX sedan (with AT) and the best quote I received was $17,300 ($18,395 MSRP, $16,984 invoice, Kelly Blue Book showed consumers buying for $18,303).
Then, since I think wheels make the car and the moonroof and other bells and whistles sounded nice, I sought quotes on the '08 EX ($20,145 MSRP, $18,589 invoice, KBB showed selling for $20,044.) The best quote I received was $18,800, so I went to check out that dealer.
My wife thought she wanted the Royal Blue Pearl, but, alas, they had none in stock, but showed us an LX in that color and said they could "trade" with another dealer to get the EX in that color by the next day. But, we decided (out of salesman's earshot) that the Royal Blue was much darker in-person, and on the car, than it appeared online and concluded we didn't like it. The missus liked the burgundy, but we both hated the tan interior and wanted to stay with gray. The salesman then said if we bought a color off the lot today, he would knock another $200 off, bringing the quote down to $18,600, only $11 over invoice. I pushed him hard on price and with holdback, he said was making $490 on the deal -- seemed fair.
Apparently, sales are not going as good as dealers might hope around central Ohio. They are advertising "special 10-day prices" on TV. He took us to their overflow lot, to see an EX in black, and it was literally packed to the gills with new '08s. The black, we decided, was it. With the silver grille, badging and alloys, it's a sharp, classy look. So, that's what we bought ...
Excluding the options (night/day auto-dim mirror with compass and door edge guards), we had the car for $18,600.
Add about $1,200 for sales tax, $300 in title and documentation fees and we were out the door for a tad over $20K. May have left a few bucks on the table, but didn't consider that bad for a new '08.
All told, a pleasant, hassle free buying experience, no hard sale and the only thing they even lightly pitched was another two years on the bumper to bumper warranty at $715 -- a little steep I felt.
Car seems perfect in fit and finish, but still suffering from new car euphoria. Will advise ... we're looking forward to breaking in our Civic EX.
But has Honda ever offered a rebate on a new Civic?
Is there reason to think they will in the next few months?
Thanks!
I don't recall the last time I saw dealer money on Civics, but they have it pretty often on Accords. They do have discount finance deals on Civics right now in a lot of states.

What is the name of the dealership that gave you the quote on the 2008 LX Civic 4dr sedan.
Thanks.
smartandy, could you tell me where you got that price on the civic?
Thanks!
1st- 2006 w/ 13355 miles asking price $16,588
2nd- 2007 w/ 9105 miles asking price $16,988
The first is a certified pre-owned so of course an extra 12/12 bumper to bumper and a longer powertrain.
The 2nd just has remaining manu warranty.
Which would make the most sense to buy in terms of resale value. That's my biggest concern.
Thank you!
Price of the car including destination was 19,650.
Total price out the door after tax, title, and doc (in NJ) was 21,275.
Had a great buying experience. If this hasn't been discussed, I would really recommend the Fighting Chance package for getting a great deal on a car. It really worked for me!
Some of you might already know this, but its awesome!!
Thanks.

I know it's good...but is it so exceptional it warrants my buying this over a Corolla CE for 14K out the door?
It's an 07, but another dealer will sell me an 08 for the same price.
Can you share the name of the dealership where you got the deal?

Just curious - I know my insurance actually gives me a "new car" discount for 3 years, as long as I buy the current available model year at the time of starting the policy. I'd loose that if buying an 07 now that the 08's are out (I bought my 07 in March, so, given my policy schedule, I'll get the discount through May, 2010).
Actually they're not the same in terms of safety features. The 2008 has TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) that is not available on the 2007.
I know with my insurance company (AllState), if I was buying now, and getting a fully loaded new car policy (full collision, comprehensive, new car replacement value, etc) I would pay more if buying a new '07 over a new '08, since the '08 is the "most current" model year available.
Unless the 07 is not new, but a previously owned one?
cud u please confirm how did u get the price for 08 honda civic lx 4dr is it manuel or auto.
thanks naren
I'll also add that I've had my '07 for 7 months now, and have been thoroughly pleased with it (it's an '07 EX Sedan AT).
Best of luck.
Dennis
Of course, I'm insured for new car replacement during my warrenty period, so your scenario also does not apply. My policy clearly states, in the event of my car being totaled, I get a brand new, current model year of the same car & trim level, not pro-rated value (once the 3yr/36K warrenty is up, sure, my policy will go down to pro-rated value). So from that point of view, I would be charged the same premium for either a new '07 or a new '08, but I would then forfit the "new car" discount by buying an new '07 now, since the '08s are available and on the lot.

Does anyone think I can do better?
Thanks!
Where are you getting this quote from and where are you located?
Is this for an 07 or 08? Is it an auto?
I got a price of 18,264 for an 07 and 18,806 for an 08 from Norm Reeves HB from the internet dept. There was no haggling involved. I asked if there was room for negotiation and they said no. Can I still negotiate and is this a good price?
I was also thinking about leasing a hybrid since my dad needs a tax right off. 700 down and 290 a month with navi. Would this be a better route? I would like to buy since I could pass the car to my bro in two years when he goes to college.
Thanks all!!
