Never had a problem with dealing with my previous WI honda dealerships... Now they are telling me MSRP or go pound sand. I've always been able to get $2k+ off even the most desireable models (even backorders models). MSRP? I refuse! They quoted me $19,310 and told me that was $500 off MSRP. Well, since MSRP is $19,010 (according to my sources), their math is fuzzy too.

Anyone else have input?

Thanks.

 

sum dealerships just try and rip you off...dont be afraid to walk away...thats how ull get them to form to your conditions...go in there and knock out a couple thousand...dont let them mess with you...

 

Which dealership? I bought my car from Wilde Honda.

 

Wilde Honda was the place that quoted $19,300 (which is $500 off msrp according to them). They said they were giving me that special price because I was coming from Madison and was a repeat customer. The sales manager said all internet and phone quotes were being quoted msrp. However, I did an internet quote for them and recieved the $19,300 price quote by email. I don't like getting jived, but they are the only dealership in the area to have them... The Zimbrick dealership doesn't have them in-stock and won't for 2-3 months. Waiting isn't an option as our old civic was totalled in a flood...

Just for giggles, we drove the Toyota Corolla "S". It's a few thou cheaper, but drove like crap. Our '99 civic handled and cornered tighter and was more powerful... However, it is now a boat. See below:

Any thoughts on the spoliers (trunk and ground?). I like the sporty look of the Corolla "S", with the spoliers all around, but Honda prices them too high I think.

That sucks dude. I think they kinda got me a little on my car. I payed about $500 below book and that's it... they said they were "slow that day" and were "going to give me a deal" and "since I came all the way from Rockford".

Unfortunately, I was short on time and the reason I drove that far is because I couldn't find any civics in my area so I was kinda stuck. [&:]

 

I got the best deal ever... I DIDN'T buy a Civic EX for $19,300, I wound up finding the exact match Accord and bought that for... only $19,300 (brand new). My new Accord is an EX with a peppy MT. I can't believe the difference between the Accord and the Civic. I'm glad I wasn't able to find a Civic (anywhere in the entire state). Sorry, but I'm no longer a Civic owner anymore... I'm now a member of the AccordForum website. I still loved my civics and may return someday... but not for a while!

 

thats great man i have a 06 accord ex vp sedan 2.4 5 speed i love it and you might try this accord forum too oh it might look familiar

Yeah no kidding.... would you folks quit buying up all the Civics! Called 3 dealers before I found one i could even test drive.

Their 'deal' on an EX was $19995.

My bank (USAA) provides a locating and negotiating service so I'm going to see if they can do better. They did great a couple of years back on my wife's Toyota Sienna at only $1000 over invoice.

I was very happy with the Civic ride and feel over the Corolla. But if they don't come down some off this price......

Will report back on my pricing/decision.

 

Go get a used one in the paper...they are cheaper

 

If you mean a used '06..... a quick scan of Atlanta papers shows only 6 available. Only 2 are EXs and believe it or not they were at and in one case above MSRP. The 2 EXs were at 4k and 6.9k miles.

If you mean older Civics.... I think we're all looking at '06. I don't dig the 7th gen Civics like the '06. My father owns one and it just doesn't excite me.
