2008 Civic Price Margin?

Bigmacrox · 12-05-2007, 10:45 PM

Hey, first off great forum. I stumbled on it looking for info on the new 08 civic. The thing is that my '05 civic lx got totaled during the recent storm and I was thinking of getting the new 08 civc lx. I wanted to know if anyone has any idea as to what kind of price margin there is for the 08 civic.

Also I could use any tips negotiating the price down or getting them to throw in extras. Thanks.

I was looking at an LX-SR and EX-L before I got my CSX. I was able to get them down to $348.15 ($11 386 residual) and $384.89 ($11 425 residual) respectively. Both are taxes in (13% for MB) with auto at 3.9% for a 48 month lease. These numbers are about 3 weeks old. It's end of the year so now is a good time to get a car.

thanks for the info. I will definitely be picking up a civic lx what with the low interest rates.

I think you should be able to get a fairly good deal off of an LX. I was initially offered $1000 off MSRP when I had purchased the LX. I was eventually able to talk them down to $1150. My advice would be to work from the invoice price, not the MSRP. Be patient and be sure to look around. Go from dealer to dealer, get quotes and compare. Even if they deny you initially, give it a few days and they may just call you back.

The key is just patience and knowing what you want. They know they have something you want, but don't let them control the deal because of that.

If that fails, look into a 2007. Some dealers may have some laying around and they'll probably give you a *very* good deal. Personally, unless they slap on a considerable amount of add-ons, I wouldn't say it is worth it to take add-ons over a discount in the price. Those parts at cost are very cheap.
