Thank you. Today I finalized the financing - I got 5% American Honda Financing for 60 months with GAP insurance included. Capital One was giving me 5.5%. Over all, a very pleasant experience dealing with the finance guy at Brewster Honda. I am going to pick up the car next weekend.

If you got the splash guards included, that tells me you bought the Base model and not the Sport. Does your Fit have manual or automatic transmission? What color did you choose? Williamson Honda in Lincoln is an outstanding dealer. I live in the Omaha/Bellevue area (55-60 miles from Williamson), but bought my 1st Fit there in Dec 07 for $200 over Invoice on the Sport Automatic model ($16,323) and will be buying my 3rd Fit there next month (early Jun 08) for Invoice ($16,132) - MSRP on these cars is $16,705. I bought my 2nd Fit (the one I drive) from O'Daniel Honda in Omaha in Mar 08 for $16,167. If you have a great experience with a dealer it is best to spread the word, because if that generates more sales for that dealer they will start selling a larger volume of cars each month, which normally means they are able to (if they choose) to sell each car for less than a lower-volume dealer, and the people who benefit are us, the buyers.

Re: Honda Civic EX Auto Sdn., Good Price? [94accord_lover]

One bit of advice is that you can have a better chance of getting the best price if you make it clear you are ready to buy today if you get a price you want. If you tell the dealer it will be several weeks before you buy, they may not be able to give you the best possible price, since who knows what conditions will be in a few weeks? Personally, I never negotiate with a dealer for their best price until I am ready to buy.

Honda Civic EX Auto Sdn., Good Price?

by 94accord_lover on Sat May 10 16:31:08 PDT 2008

I am in the market for an EX sedan, and just wondering what would be a reasonable price. Of what I have been reading, It seems 17.5-18k quotes are the norm, which seems like a fair price. I am buying for the first time, I am knowledgeable about the car and what to expect from the dealer, but I don't want to be taken advantage of :mad: . I am in Ohio, BTW. I have not asked for any quotes yet b/c it will be at least a few weeks before I purchase, and don't want to seem too antsy to get my new car. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, above and beyond all the great advice I've gotten from ya'll posting about your buying experiences ;) .
