5 min away from a new r18

ksmithers88 · 08-15-2006, 06:41 PM

at my local dealership today, i negotiated the dealer down to 18,750 for a gg ex, with mud guards and wheel locks (a little pricey imo but theres a mark-up in my area). So my dad and I get the loan taken care of, and the insurance all ready, and when we go in to sign the actual contract, the sales manager changes his mind and tries to add an extra $600 onto the total without telling us. So i walked out. I sat at that dealership for 4 hours, and they still had to try to screw me over. I then had to waste even more time holding the check, and cancelling the insurance policy change. I'm still in awe that they were that close to selling a car, and still got greedy. I'm going first thing in the morning to a few other dealerships, and I'll have purchased one by the end of the day. Who has an ex coupe, and what'd u pay for it? I thought i was being pretty fair, being that my total (not including tax, tag, and title), was more than $1,000 over invoice. What did other ex coupe owners pay?

I hear there is a huge demand for the R18 models especially the sedan. People are paying well over sticker too. That is a shady way to run business though and would call Honda corp office and complain.
FYI I paid 18400 for my EX sedan Auto in April.

$17,910...something like that for my GG EX auto sedan, non-navi. Came with carpet floor mats (I think all EXs do anyway) and wheel locks (all cars at the dealership came with wheel locks). No other accessories. This was back at the beginning of April. The price included destination charges. With tax, title, and license the out the door price was around $19,700. If you say the destination charge is $550, I basically got the car at invoice. I purchased it through the dealership's internet dealer by getting a quote via Edmunds.com.

18,200 for my EX coupe.. no negotiating. The dealership rocks hard.

***Cybergypsy*** · 08-15-2006, 07:41 PM

21,580 EX coupe with navi and 5/60 warranty!

reelbigfish241 · 08-15-2006, 07:56 PM

$19,200 for my GG EX Coupe in the Chicagoland are. The dealer wouldn't budge and just kept repeating that it's motor trends car of the year. I wanted to tell him where to shove it really bad, but held back because I wanted the car since I saw the debut at the Chicago auto show

But we talked them into giving us $8,700 for my trade-in. An 02 civic EX Sedan with about $1000 needed in minor repairs. (bumper cover and few other minor things)

I'd say we did ok.

god DAMN! Thats only $400 more than I paid for my LX with a 5 spd. Then again, this was some time ago, the dealers are probably more willing to negotiate now...

That did include destination fee.

NickC89 · 08-15-2006, 09:45 PM

I got mine for $19,000 OTD, and a 5 year warranty. no navi, mt, got the i-VTEC DOHC decal and a pinstripe too.

PoLiShPrInCe · 08-15-2006, 09:52 PM

thats shady practice at that first place... they should not retract a previous offer....

atomicEXcoupe · 08-15-2006, 10:30 PM

got my EX coupe Manual for $18,400 with wheel locks, got dealer down $600 form what they wanted for a car that came right off the truck. I really needed to leave there with a car too as i was renting for a week already to get to work cause the motor in my 99 Civic EX blew.

I know it is, but it still looks pretty cool with the decal

Dephik8 · 08-16-2006, 04:52 PM

You guys must live in the mid west or east coast... out here in the Northwest those cars are going for msrp and above... some dealerships are marking them up 3k. The lowest you could hope for is 4-5 hundred below retail... i didnt think that it was worth the headache so I just paid msrp for mine.

strCIVIC · 08-16-2006, 05:15 PM

got mines for 23,000...atomic blue ex coupe..livin in hawaii..i think hawaii is the most expensive place to live in, in the nation even though they consider hawaii to be the third place to live in.. got mud guards and those lugs nutz with 7 yr warranty and 10 yr rustproofing...anyways..wish i couldve grab MT but stock here with AT...kinda good cuz its always traffic here in hawaii...

SIpimpin13 · 08-16-2006, 05:54 PM

I hate hearin stories about people getting ripped off, it angers me...

SacrificeTheory · 08-18-2006, 10:11 PM

In my opinion, people who spent 20,000+ on an EX should have just gotten the Si. It would be around the same price, but for a better car.
