Cost of 09 Civic ?
Hi,
Got a quote from a dealer in Pa for $18,700 for an 09 Civic LX. That includes tax, title, and everything. They took off about $500 from sticker price. Theye were out of 08's. Is this a good deal? I like the car, but don't want to pay too much, of course. Thanks |

Perhaps. If you like the car and the price is fair and they don't have a Doc fee or similiar crap, then grab it. If not, keep looking. |

If you're gonna be sad in a few months when they're selling for $500 less then wait (assuming your current ride won't cost you $500 in the meantime). |

I think the "Fit" has taken the old role of the Civic
as Honda's bottom offering. I think the jury is still out is if they have the "Civic reliability" being such a young model. I saw very few on the road until this summer, when I presume Honda finally started making them in bulk. Meanwhile the standard Civic grows each year, nearly an intermediate car size & price now. Engineering improvements have keep its mileage up there, but not as good as the older, lighter models. |

Well, given that the 2nd year of the Fit (08) is really the 5th year (I think) of the Jazz, I think we can extrapolate some numbers for reliability. Honda appears to have actually been surprised by the response to the 2007 Fit. When I talked to one of the local dealers in mid 2006, she was excited and promised to call me for a test drive when the first one came in. Well, she did call. But I had to be there at a specific time, as she was scheduling test drives on her two cars, but only for three days. The 2008s are/were more available, but still in lower supply than the demand. By the time I bought, dealers weren't getting more than MSRP. But they weren't getting less, that's for sure. > >Meanwhile the standard Civic grows each year, >nearly an intermediate car size & price now. >Engineering improvements have keep its mileage >up there, but not as good as the older, lighter models. I went from an 89 CRX to a 96 Civic EX. The Civic was "huge". Almost as big as my wife's 89 Accord (which she traded for a 96 Accord EX at the same time). Once I put some Tokicos on the Civic, it handled "quite nicely". Even nicer with the R1s, but that's a different story. |
