Honda Civic 2008 - Everything you want to know

[johnbrennan]

I am about to purchase a Honda Civic Vti-L Compliance Plate 2008.
Does anybody know the price of these accessories?

1.Bluetooth Phone System
2.Rear Park Assist
3.Tailored Floor Mats

And on the Bluetooth Phone System is there a better system, for example (Parrot LS 3400 with colour LCD)?

I also seem to be getting varying quotes from dealers in WA.

Who is eligible for a fleet discount?

Please Help

And does anyone have any wise words before I buy.

You should call up spare parts and ask for a price. From memory 1 & 2 are about $550 each and 3 is about $170. But when you buy your car, you should get the floor mats thrown in. If you buy other accessories, bargain with them. It will be cheaper than buying them individually after. Cant help you with other question

I ended up buying an egotalk bluetooth. Works great, highly recommend and much cheaper than the rip off Honda one. Though make sure you get a decent installer...

- Rear park assist is $499 at my dealer...
- Bluetooth from them worked out over $600 installed from Honda...
- Floor mats are listed at $190 when you buy the car, but I am sure you can buy them for less. Thats the ripoff aftermarket department price..

I got item #2 and #3 for free when I bought mine... and as for the bluetooth... i read many reviews saying its crap... better buy aftermarket one?

Shimian, Joele, denot thank you so much for your input. This will help me heaps. I guess we all hate being ripped off, and your replies have been very helpful.

[denot]

no worries John, did you find anything "interesting" with the 2008 Civic? as in any new changes or something? (e.g. the 2007 got few difference with 2006 model in terms of Wheel size for sports model, etc etc)

[johnbrennan]

yeah denot, not a lot has changed. same applies with the wheels on the sports model. you know the change took place in November 2007, yet they call the new ones 08YM, even though they are built in 2007. I heard that the civics will not change their model for a couple of years yet, so your model is still current.

lol then why would u get a fleet discount?
if ur goin through a leasing company like summit, or orix, or leaseplan or custom fleet u will get a fleet discount.

If u just want to put it in your company name u dont get any special deal, u are just another retail customer
