AutoFair Manchester for me, otherwise it would've been Peters and then Dover Honda. Whoever had the car and the price I wanted to pay got the deal.

Ditto on Silko!What dealer did you get your Civic from?
For me, Silko Honda in Raynham, MA.
is it a once price dealer so what they sell it for is what it was?I also bought my gen10 Civic at Lundgren. The purchase experience (and price) was very good and I have no complaints at all.
It means what they offer it for is what it is and there's no haggling or upping of the priceI'm not sure what a "one price dealer" is, so I can't really answer. I paid a hair under $16k for the car, new, in September of 2016.
Yeah dealers will always try to upsell this or that. That’s how they make money. The dealership is a business after all. I don’t think they make all that much money off of selling new cars. Depends on the car and everything of course. Back in the early 90s I worked at an Acura dealership and the NSX was the worst profit in car for them because every day at sat on the lot the interest that they paid to the bank ate out on their profits. I remember our dealership lost a sale of a new NSX to another dealership because that dealership threw in $100 floor mats and we couldn’t afford to do that because it would bite into the profits. I think back then I heard some thing like the profit was only like $300 or something crazy low. I was told where the dealership actually makes money, at least back then, was with the used cars.OK, the post by 'Baby NSX' does remind me now -- Lundgren tried to get me to "simoniz" the car. I didn't pursue that.
still holds true today. Not much wiggle room from MSRP unless something really rare, and they know they are able to sell at higher price. The real profit is made in Used Cars and fixing cars out of warranty which is rare in itself as many people don’t hold on to cars past warranty, if they do they go elsewhere or are DYi tech savvy people who work on their own vehicle.Yeah dealers will always try to upsell this or that.
