I had a very laid back salesman who was great to deal with and I would highly recommend. Once I mentioned I had already been quoted invoice online he immediately said he would match, no negotiations needed. He did not try to hard sell me on warranties and additional options. I can't post the salesman's name here, but if you're in the Philly area and interested, reply with your email address and I can give you the salesman's name and contact info.
breakdown:
Purchase Price: $20240
6% PA sales tax: $1214.40
T&T: $63.50 (they added a $5 encumbrance??)
new plate fee: $5
Doc fee: $55
Tire tax: $5
Online Reg Fee??: $26
OTD: $21608.90
with $4500 down, got 4.79% from Honda. Probably 3.99% + dealer profit, but I couldn't do better than 5.24% on my own, so...
Dealt strictly with the Internet Sales Manager. Very limited haggling, standard cliche sales tactics, but absolutely no pressure. Overall, a good experience.
I just purchased a new black Civic EX MT from Markley Motors on 3/31 in Fort Collins, Colorado. Got them to throw in a moon roof visor on top of this as well.
Purchase price: 17,801
Dealer fees: 399
sales tax (6.7%) 1219.40
title/lien fees 27.20
total - 19446.60
Also got 3.9% financing for 60 months from Honda. They mentioned this ended 3/31 and they didn't think it was being offered in April for the Civic. I dealt with the internet manager for all the pricing. GoHonda on 104th in Denver offered 17,828 (purchase price + dealer fees) but I didn't want to hassle with the hour drive and wanted to keep the service in town.
Is it a reasonable deal?
Purchased a LX AT for 16,200 + 55 Doc + TTL in OC CA.
Is it a reasonable deal?

Yea.... This is good deal ... Can you tell me what was your OTD.... Over here OTD for LX AT 4 Door is $18,256 .. I am also looking for some one in FL with OTD price for less than $17,600... (We have 6% tax, tag title lemon tire fees ~ $200)
If possible can you scan your buyer order and send me an e-mail..

I am very pleased with this purchased. I had been considering the CR-V for sometime, but I'm glad that I went with the Civic. It is the perfect car for me! :shades:
And the accord costs so much....
And the accord costs so much....
I have been on the fence on selling my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee as it has 111K miles and I am coming off a $2000 repair. I have looked at the civic's and done tons of research and can get a 2008 LX 5 speed for about $16,500 out the door. After reading the posts it seems like a good deal. After looking at the civic I really like the EX-L with navigation and have seen what that goes for and from the quotes it looks like it would around $20,500 out the door which I just can't seem to grasp to pay 20K for a civic? I know these are great cars and the gas mileage is a plus but come on that is just too much. I think I might wait for the 2009 models to come out and hope a dealer has a few of the ex-l's with nav that I can snatch up for a steal.
Just my $0.02~
My husband has the Accord. It's a great vehicle, but just a little to heavy for my comfort. To my understanding, the Civic and the Acura TSX are virtually the same vehicle, besides the engine and some other tweeks. I was considering the CR-V, prior to the Civic. I went to test drive the Civic; it had 15 miles on it and I brought it back with 70 miles. Even though I could have gotten the Accord (or many other decent vehicles) for a similar price, the Civic fits me perfectly. It's not only about the dollars and cents (by the way, I'm an Accountant), but also about the total value--reconciling between wants/needs and cost.
Thanks, Trin
Price $16,350 (Including Destination)
Documentation $269
Tax (7%) $1144.50
Registration fees $262
NJ Tire Fee $7.5
---------------------------------------------
Total OTD $18,033
--------------------------------------------
I know this is not the lowest price when compared to the previous posts. I think the documentation fee $269 is little bit higher, but I am happy that I got 0.90% APR for 3 Years.
No, actually the TSX is based on the Accord sold in other countries, e.g. Europe.
Either way, the point I was making in my previous post is that it doesn't matter how much you can get another car for if it's not what you want.
These message boards have helped me immensely as I researched buying a new car. I just wanted to share the details of my purchase in an effort to assist anyone seeking information. My hope is that someone can use the information to their advantage.
Thanks, Trin

I think the (RIP) RSX was based on the Civic platform, like the Integra before it.
Probably could've gotten a Sonata for close to the same price, but it was just a bit to big.

I just got back from the dealer. I was over at middletown honda, NY and was looking at a 2008 civic ex with out the navi. I was quoted 18,600 and told invoice of 18559. Basically the OTD price is 20,230 or so. taxes are 1511.00
Any thoughts on this ?
Good deal?
Room for Bargaining? part of me feels there is room for bargaining still.
I have the EX-L w/NAV and I feel its well worth it.
Thanks, Trin
thanx
Pete
I think it's a bit high especially for a standard. I paid 16400 here in RI for an automatic LX sedan - just so you have an idea. Manual transmission should be lower than that.
What is your sale tax rate?
When did you buy it?
How long does it take to get the price?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Spend 3 hour at College Park Honda Hyundai; finally, they offer 18000 OTD Civic LX08.
Be aware, they lie about the price if you call them. First tell me OTD is 16,500. When I come, they sorry because the civic is sold )... I really hate them and then play around with them for few hours and gone.
I'm looking for any information on Price Paid for the '08 Civic LX Sedan with AT in SF Bay Area. I'm seeing the following price breakdown:
$15,615 Invoice
$ 635 Destination
$ 734 AT Option
-----------
$16984 Base Price
To this I will have to add doc fees ($55), CA sales tax at 8.25% (~$1400), and DMV fees (~$175).
Can anyone share their Base Price and where they bought? I prefer San Jose to SF area in particular.
In the past (with my 2004 Toyota Sienna) I had a great experience sending out ~50 emails to dealerships throughout Northern CA and it just happened that my local dealer matched my best price. Now I just want to go in to my local dealership with a final price and buy this car.
Thanks for your help!
Steve
It sounds like a great deal to me; I love my Civic!
But. you will have to give your name etc and put up with e-mails from local dealers.
I did only 1 dealer e-mailed price on a Si w/o nav $19915+ $635 +Ca taxes and fess.
So wasn't an outstanding deal.
What do you mean by AT Option Price?
I paid $16,350 (Including destination) for 2008 Honda Civic LX Auto Transmission in New Jersey.
Check my post #6676
Still looking for that elusive great deal on a Civic.

This dealer had at least one LX in EVERY color on their own lot. OTOH, they could not keep the Fit in stock. We were there on Sunday and came back on Monday and the two Fits they had were sold in the interim, so we couldn't even test drive the Fit. My theory is that the price on the Civic was so low because the Fit is cutting into Civic sales.
I
The price you paid is excellent! I don't know if they'll go that low in my area (SF, CA). Thanks for the information.
--Steve
Only problem now is that my wife likes the new 2009 Toyota Corolla. Ouch.
Later, Brad
Did the Costco price of $16,500 include destination? Did you have them quote you pricing on any other models?
Did it go quickly and smoothly? Did you agree on OTD price over e-mail before showing up?
I'm gonna be in a position to pay cash for a new EX-2 door by early August.
April 29/30, May 30/31, June 29/30, July 30/31. This will also give you practice. So a goal will be to get the same car for the cheapest price on any of those days. :shades:
