Hello guys would love your advice

[ltrinh]

Hey guys so I left the dealership, and they honored me the same price tomorrow.

5k down + 500 College Grad Rebate
60 Month Finance
$337.00 including tax.
9.5% Sales Tax
1.9% Finance rate
OTD Price - $24,800

They will not give me the 332 including tax 24.5k OTD.

What do you guys think I should do? No other dealership in a 300 mile radius has the Rallye Red that I want, except for 2 other dealerships and they will not do any cheaper than 25KOTD.

I was hoping for 24.5K OTD but they wont budge.

Hm... I paid $24.5K OTD without $500 rebate and a bit lower tax rate at 8.75%. Tough call if you really want red.

I know what you mean! I am just scared that they will stop producing 2018, since 2019 is close! And there are only 3 red in a 300mi radius of me. I do have my Audi A4 2017 until Oct 2019 so I don't have to be to much in a rush! Maybe 2019 might have incentives later on and maybe small changes that might be beneficial.

if you really want that RR, and you got it to 24.8k OTD, with the target of 24.5, just go for it.

I don't get what one does with both a A4 and a Civic Si, but hey it is your money.

I miss the two car life. Had the following pairs
1985 Bonneville - 1984 Z28
2002 Protege - 2005 350Z
2002 WRX - 2005 350Z
2002 WRX - 2002 Z06
2002 WRX - 2011 Evo GSR
2012 Cooper S - 2011 Evo GSR (got dog)
2013 Clubman S - 2011 Evo GSR (met gf)(got cat)
2013 Clubman S - 2005 Civic LX coupe (married)
2017 Civic Si - 2003 Saturn Vue (2 kids)
2017 Civic Si - 2017 Traverse (3rd kid on way)

Priorities change over time.

Well I do real estate, so I pick up my clients in the A4 since its luxurious, and the civic si will have the 27 won turbo, dp fp, ktuner, intercooler, exhaust, cai so it won't be the best car to pick up my clients in!

Wow, I really feel like a sucker! I put $11k down on my SI and I'm still financing $21k after tax+fees

I did a lot of shopping around, and the best deal I got was through the Edmunds immediate quote tool. I jumped on it at the time and still feel like I got the best deal I could. If you've exhausted all methods to get the price down, then you may have to just take what you can at this point. Here's a breakdown of where I ended up.

Edmunds Immediate Quote:
Total MSRP $24,990
$890 Destination Fee Included
Your Savings - $3,033
Vehicle Price $21,957

Dealer's Follow-up, Complete Breakdown of Cost
2018 Honda Civic Si Sedan 1.5 $ 21,957.00
State Inspection Sticker $ 35.00
Dealer Document Fee $ 398.00
Title and Registration (NEW Plates) $ 140.00
State Sales Tax $ 1,399.38
Total OTD Price $ 23,929.38

in my experience the cars msrp is usually always the otd price. include dealers in southern california also and always go towards the end of the month. try to also work with a salesman who has been there awhile instead of someone new who is afraid to go to bat for you with their manager. If you walk around the dealership you will see a whiteboard with the salespeoples numbers for the month, pick the last person on the board since their hungry to make the sale. if their not their that day come back later. its good your going for red since white and black are the most popular colors.

Did you have really bad credit? That doesn't make sense as that would be around 32k

Thank you so much! What a great deal you got! 21.9 is awesome for that car!

This is a really helpful advice! Guys call me crazy, but I might end up going for a used Honda S2000 RWD, to maybe make it into a track car! Found a really clean one for 8,000 as I really miss the loud scream of the VTEC motor!
