i dont know what your finacial position is ie finance or cash, i'd say if you were paying cash and show them that you have the control and threaten to walk out if it wasnt the right price then you would probably get it, but i'd think that they would have more control if you were getting finance especially if it was through them but id give it a try first anyway. its a good time to buy a new car now with the world economy the way it is. i wish i had of waited a few more months but i didnt know that this was going to happen. i,m still happy with the price i paid. the way i see it is the car dealer always wins in the end regardless of whether you think you got a good deal or not. its whether you are happy paying the price you have negotiated with them good luck :)
thanks spyda. it will be cash... any suggestion for good dealer in south east melbourne and if i can't get it for 25k what should i take out and get it done some where else? i.e. tints?
tint is an after market purchase through dealer about 400 i think, astoria had a special any two after market sales for 990 eg parking sensors, tint, paint protection, etc..i thought that was good deal sensors are expensive on its own anyway . i bought my vti-l at astoria honda in victoria- east bentleigh south east) i thought the service was very good. you can also get tinted windows from premier window tint bit less in price but i wanted to get everything done within the dealer so i didnt have the hassle later i just wanted to drive lol. tip- ask them up front what the drive away price is first which is (inc. gov charges rego ect..which is around $3000) before you start any haggling then do your price drive away of course then goin to say no cant do it..but just stand your ground and if no good walk out 9 times out of ten they will call you back.
the only good thing to buy during this "crisis" is only if you buy demo/second hand delaer car. new car is prices is still the same if its not ready stock...
Hey dude,
Depends on what you pay with, cash or finance. But what you should do is at least organise your money first either get a pre-approval or ur cash ready, walk in, ask for a new car with all the option you wanted like that and tell them give me a quot, how much you will sell for.
When they give you a number take 15% of and throw it at them. make sure you try and steal a bit more from things like regos, on road etc... there's nothing wrong with asking for it, if they give it, good, if they don't... walk away.
What really happens at dealers is like this, for example, they hold a car for sale 9either demo or brand new at the yard, they still have to pay financin cost for the car, and if they can't sell in this current climate, they are making losses on both ends. So just be prepared to do a bit of negotiating, a bit of searching and most important of all, you have to be able to walk away from the car you like.
Ps: don't bother with the finance they offer you, most of the time there is a commission attached, so if the bank sell to them for 10%, they probably will ad .5 or 1% on top of that.
Have you considered demo car? Some are great condition, and they have to sell before it reaches 10,000km!!
Btw, i bought mine second hand with plenty of options for $20,000
The previous owner was a city dweller, so he hardly drove the civic in the 2 years he bought it, odo = 24,000km
it was a Vti-L 06 model with
- reverse sensor,
- 18" Starcorp,
- Exhaust pipe
- Tailord floormat
- Leather seat (i don't know how it was back then, but i thought you can't add leather seat to Vti-L, only the Sports model can have it, can anyone confirm?)
I got the window tinted from a mobile tinter we know, it was $150 if i go to his place (Mt Druitt in sydney) or $180 if he comes to us. Lifetime guarantee with SunTint film (i think it was)
I found if you buy car from the otherside of the bridge (north shore) you tend to find a nice, low Ks and good priced :) Got mine from Bill Buckle
my g/f is trying to get one and only put a deposit on a:
-09 dealer delivered civic vti on the road.
$28,000
Someone tell me where i can get better as she wont listen to me.
Anyone here work in a dealership or can do better???
I need to figure this out within 3 days before the cooling period is over. I wish she wouldnt go in without me and impulse by.
hi paul... if you read other people posts on this thread, then u will find that your g/f is playing too much. vti with out any extra options you should be able to get it less than$23,000. (that's what i think anyway according from what other ppl been getting).
This is dealer delivered. They said to her its an 08 compliance plate but 09 spec. What a joke. I would just get an 08 for the $23,790 you can see them advertised for all over carsales.comQuote:

It's going to be a pain as she already signed and put a deposit on aswell as applying for finance.
I will call them tomorrow and try bargain with them, if they wont budge on price or sell me the same car in "08 spec" then i'm gonna have to give up her $400 deposit to get the same car cheaper elsewhere. I'm not paying 28 when they are 23,790 as i mentioned..
She is firm on it having to be new, black and in A/T. (There are heaps of new 08 delivered ones for the above mentioned prices on carsales).
Anyone who works in a dealership here wants our business... or anyone know someone who can give us a good deal for our business. Let me know ASAP tonight or early tomorrow before i get on the phone to the dealership.
you should ask them what option you get? you never know.. such parking sensor, spoiler kit,,paint protection etc,, it costs more,
could reach vti-l price
i heard few changes for 09 civic, like rear tailight, front bumper,, i also not sure about that, just ask them
i paid mine somewhere around 24100 or 25100, i forgot exactly,
i bought white,auto, tint, floor mat, thats all i got from them
also, if they dont have the colour that you want, they also charge you extra .. for sure
