Exclamation Should I Buy A 7th Gen Sedan At This Price?

the local honda dealer (bronx honda) is willing to give me a 2003 civic sedan EX for 16,500-16,600 with the front and side airbags... this is without tax (DAMN BLOOMBERG)

they are offering 1.9% apr, and the one without side air bags for 16,000 but i really dont think i want that one...

so my question is should i buy at this price?

i hope you guys respond quickly cuz im leaving to the dealer in 30 mins....

nope, 16K is a good deal, that's about what I paid for my 2K1, and that was an LX ...

I say do it. and then take the $1500 you saved, buy some lowering springs and a nice set of rims. That will INSTANTLY make your car look sooo much better.

Well, considering invoice for an ex sedan 5sp is ~$15,900, I'd say you won't get a better deal. I am not sure what the invoice is when you add the side bags. You should be able to find that info on the net.

Actually thats not a bad deal. I got my EX Coupe for $16,200 back in June of 2001. I thought the sedans and the coupes went up alot more in price, I guess they didnt.

Umm... you might be able to find a better deal at Yonkers Honda, or maybe Paragon (if you dont mind dealing with not so great ppl). But that does sound good. However, I did get my LX 4dr 5sp for 13 flat before taxes at Hillside.

MSRP is 18,570 according to Edmunds, 17,010 is the Invoice, and the True Market Value is 17,042...

wow and i paid 16,600 with destination, SSRS, mats, mud guards, and all that....

so i think i got out good, paid 500 less than invoice...

all i want is the fog lights and spoiler (maybe)...
