PISSED OFF(Scandalous Dealers)
My parents and I were going over the prices for a 2002 Civic Ex Coupe manual and the dealer showed us the invoice paper for like 16500 or some sh*t. Well I go and look online and find that the invoice should be around 15500. This son of a bitch lied to me and now I have to get some other quotes and hopefully he will match b/c I really don't feel like getting my car re-estimated, plus their isnt another honda dealer for like 45 minutes away. I was supposed to get my car this weekend, but looks like it will be another week or 2.

Rep Power: 0 Dealers are in business to do one thing, and that is to make a profit. An uninformed consumer will be taken for a ride if he/she does not know his/her products before going into a store, regardless of whether or not it is a car.

Rep Power: 0 If you pay MSRP, god help you. And mine was 16,900 so quit your bichin. Your lucky. Also, if your looking for GOOD price quotes, your not going to find them online, they are all different.
my dealer was pretty sweet....no pressuring or feeding me a bunch of BS...i got my lx coupe for 14k even...and they put in a cd player, spoiler, mudflaps.....from the ex, i just dont have the moon roof or side SRS or alram...but i got a viper 600 so its hella better......guess some dealers got their **** more straight than others...sorry to hear some of you guys get screwed over....later

Rep Power: 0 When to go to buy a car you just have to have your facts straight. You have to know how much the dealer paid for the car. Once you know that then you can start your hagling. And you can't be afraid to walk away. Sit and talk to them for over an hour about the car and hagle the price for a while. Give them your final offer and if they don't take it then leave. Just make sure they have your name and number first. After a couple days the salesman will want some commission and want to get paid. Plus you gotta know when to buy a car. If you see the same cars on the lot for a while then that tells you they are hurting for a sale.
I waited a while before I bought my car, I gave the dealer my offer and after a couple days he called me up and said he worked somethign out. I paid 3k over dealer invoice.

Rep Power: 419 There's this one dealer that has bottom line pricing, but they suck as well. Check out www.lundgrenhonda.com and laugh your *** off at the prices. BTW, I bought my LX under invoice (invoice on www.edmunds.com) for $13,695 out the door with OEM floor mats. Some people made out even better than that though, so I'm not 100% happy. Oh well...

Rep Power: 416 I could've brought my car in from vancouver (6 hrs away) for a few hundred less than what the dealer was offering... but I really liked the dealer I had he was very honest and straight up with me... and didn't down other vehicles to sell me a civic... Also they were building a brand new facility which is now completed and they've moved in... its REALLY spiffy and shiny... and their service is great.

Rep Power: 0 check out carsdirect.com, thats how i got my 5-speed ex coupe for 16030. even if you dont go through them, you can use their quote to get your dealer to match or beat their price. also try getting email quotes from other dealers, they usually give you better quotes by email. also, check out handa-accessories.com for your accessories, dont pay dealer price for them

Rep Power: 0 Hey dude,
I've got my 2002 Civic EX Coupe with Auto tranny last week for 16000. It was something like $17150 with taxes and all fees.
I've for few dealers in 20 miles away from me, but the best one was DCH Academy Honda, which I've found using www.invoicedealers.com. I hope it can help a bit

Rep Power: 0 I paid $15,850 for my 2k2 EX Manual, $300 over invoice. The dealer was straight forward and took my first offer. Got a full tank of gas, a voucher for another free tank of gas and he through in some oem floor mats. If you are in the central Florida area, I highly recommend Wad Raulerson Honda in Gainesville. Actually an honest dealer with no BS, at least my salesman was.
