2003 Civic LX - New $14k

I just bought a brand new 2003 Civic LX Automatic for $14,000. Just
wondering how good a deal this really was considering its almost end
of 2003.

I was planning on buying the 2004 Corolla LE, and the best price I had
on that was $15,200. Then I visited Honda and they originally wanted
$15,600, then $14,600 till finally I got it for $14 even. Looks like
the Civic has better ratings than the Corolla anyways and I felt more
comfortable in the Honda.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

WOW, you got swindled.

They're selling for $13K here.

 

Edmunds.com has the true market value as being $13,677

What I see at edmunds as TMV is $14,929. R u sure that was the LX AT
2003, zero miles?

 

Really....13K...holy cow what an idiot i am...I should have gone over
there Where is over there? I'm in the midwest.

 

IMO, you should have gone with the Corolla LE 2004 or wait for the Civic
2004. 1200$ is almost nothing compared to a one-year depreciation. It is a
false saving.

 

Strange... edmunds.com lists a much smaller difference between the used
prices of 2002 versus 2001 Civics. Note that much of the "first year new
car depreciation" is bid-ask spread -- most people can only buy a new car
at dealer retail prices, while they can only sell a car at trade-in or
private-party prices.

 

I guess I would agree with you, but only if I don't keep the car for
atleast 7 years. I plan to keep it for 10 (if it lasts that long).

I just sold my 1995 Nissan 200sx for 3K (which I bought for 12K in
96).

 

Really, you think? Darn! More than $500 too much? I knew I should've
tried to squeeze a little more out of the guy. Darn!

They took advantage of you cause you're a spic.

I hate being a spic...I think I'll dye my hair blond, change my name
and maybe next time i can get the car for $13k instead of $14k.

Thanks for the enlightenment ;-)

 

That's the 5speed manual price. I got the Automatic.
