Well the MSRP on a 2004 Civic DX-G is $17,700. The dealer is knocking off
$2700 which amounts to 15% off for a 2 year old car. 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!)
Thanks for the pointers,

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.
