2006 Civic LX

Discussion in 'Civic' started by Winston Smith, Apr 8, 2006.

  1. I am thinking about buying one of these cars. What is the actual dealer's
    cost with no add-ons? How much can I expect to pay on a cash deal (no
    trade-in)? Are there any buying tips you can share that will help me make
    the best deal possible? Thanks.

    I would contact dealer thru their internet site first and get their price.
    Wait a few days to see if it goes down in a second email.

    Click this URL, then the TMV pricing report. It's for Edmunds web
    site, and it should give you everything you need.

    Given your zip code, the site will send a request for quotes to
    dealers in your area.

    Check Edmunds for the TMV price -- price most people are paying in your
    area.

  9. Good rule of thumb is get the salesdick's best price and offer him $500
    less.

    For a new car, I would offer $3000 off sticker.

  16. Does the dealer really have that much margin on a car with an MSP of $17,
    310? Edmunds lists the invoice at $15, 835.

    I've seen dealers that claim to sell cars "at or below invoice". They make
    it sound like they are giving them away. There's very little chance of
    that...LOL!!! I've heard of something called a "hold back". It's extra
    money that the dealer gets from the manufacturer when they sell a car.

    What I'm trying to figure out is how low they can go and still make a decent
    profit. That's what I mean by "the best deal possible". There doesn't seem
    to be a lot of wiggle room here, unless I'm missing something. I understand
    why these numbers are a closely guarded secret but it would be very helpful
    to be armed with the facts before making a deal. Surely someone has a good
    idea of just how low they can go before they start to lose money. Anyone
    care enlighten me on this?

    the number can change often, too. theres holdback, then there are other
    incentives that arent advertised either.

    american honda motor corp might go through the numbers tomorrow and
    decide there are too many 4dr accord dx's in inventory and in the
    pipeline, and offer their dealers a better deal to move em. might just
    happen in one region, too.

    they arent going to call edmunds and tell em, though.
