Is this a Good Deal?
Hi All,
I'm looking at a 2002 Civic DX-G 4 dr sedan (AT, AC, CD, etc.), It has 38 000 kms (23 600 miles), and the dealership is asking $14 995 CDN. Is this a fair price? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Chris |

Personally, I'd go with the piece of mind of the new car but if money's tight, the used one isn't that bad. It's not a rip off, but I wouldn't call it a deal either. I'd offer them $14,500 and ask them to put new Michelin tires on as part of the deal (the dealer get these cheap). Besides, at 38,000 KM, the factory tires will need replacing soon anyway, not to mention they're Firestones and suck big time. Of course, only you can judge how far you can push in the negitiations. |

Re: Is this a Good Deal?
Thanks Sean, but at the www.honda.ca web site, I'm getting different prices
that the ones you noted; are you in the US? If you go to that web site, a 2004 DX-G with AT (not 5 speed) has a pre-tax price of $19 710 CDN. If I was going brand new, it looks like the best deal is the new SE model. Its pre-tax price with AT is $18810 CDN. This dealer that has the 2002 said they'd be willing to "move" on the price...we'll see. If I could get them down another $1000-$1500, that may be what I'll do. I'm going there tomorrow- will advise. (PS: I couldn't agree more with your tire observations!)

Re: Is this a Good Deal?
Go to www.edmunds.com and throw in the particulars for some ideas on what's a
fair price. It will ask for your location, ultimately, so you'll have to fudge that detail somewhat.

Sean was talking about US dollars and Chris is asking for Canadian. One of
you do the conversion please. I think you're getting a good deal for a 2 year old car at that milage.
