Civic 06 prices .. anyone already put a deposit or buy one?

I'm guessing your girl is lucky- the stock is in, and the colour she wanted was available. A lot of people have been waiting months for theirs to arrive. I no longer feel special having one of the few Civics on the road from the first shipment.

Once the vehicle arrives, you're in a tough situation. If you need to cancel, do it now. You're entited to a full refund of your deposit.

Of course, you could always renegotiate for another car. They won't have trouble selling the Civic you don't want anymore so can't use it as leverge.

Your dealer is the first point of call. If they object, tell them it's written black and white on the contract and you're coming in person today to sort it out.

Thanks. yea there's no delivery date specified on my contract, not even "ASAP"...so sounds like i'll have the right to terminate my contract now and get a full refund. few more days and i'll be exactly 3 months from the time i signed it, so i'll give the dealer a call again today to check when my car is arriving....

Hey Guys

Been looking at this forum for quite a while but registrations were closed previously and I have been on holidays.

Ok here is the deal:
civic 2006
vti auto
silver moss metallic
genuine floor mats F%R
Fog lights
rear boot spoiler
front spoiler
rear spoiler
side skirts

drive away

28400

my 3 months from date of signing expires on the 26th this month (July)

I have been told I will have to wait till September that nearly 5 months.

Should I terminate and renegotiate a deal later since the delivery of the car is not that too far away from 2007? Then effectively purchasing a 2007 not a late 2006.

I looked at the vtil and didnt see much value for the extra dollars. Considering the 6 dics cd wasnt important to me; the alloys really suck! airbags maybe; audio controlls on steering wheel??? (would they interface with aftermarket deck as I looking to upgrade the sound system)

This forum is great I have read much.

$28400? Well, my mate got his Civic auto VTi for $25300 driveaway; so that means you paid about $3100 for the Fog lamps, Body Kit + Spoiler, and Genuine Floor Mats. I know the body kit with spoiler is around $2500ish (can't remember exact figure) from when I was ordering, not sure about Fog Lamps, and the floor mats are around $200 from memory? In summing up, I don't think you got any major discounts, so if you feel that you can save money by cancelling and renegotiate go for it- will you have to forfeit any deposits, etc...?

Btw I agree- in hindsight, the benefits of the VTi-L aren't really worth the dollars; especially when if I had gotten VTi, I could've used the change to change the wheels- but then, I really do appreciate having a 6 stack MP3/WMA drive and have no intentions of changing the deck- and I like the steering wheel's audio controls. On a sidenote, I believe there are products out there which will let you use the controls with an aftermarket HU.

*shrugs*

If I were you I'd just stick to the deal because the car is still pretty popular- renegotiating may leave you carless unless you have another car in mind?

ya i got my vti auto for 25200 include tint windows, floor mats, and the chrome exhaust drive away....just got my car on thursday delivered to my home
so the spoilers and the surround cost u about 3000....i guess if it takes till sept and u are not in hurry maybe u can negotiate a 2007 model

Hi all,

I need some advise. Dealer just called me and told me that the delivery of my car would be in November (fainted, that's more then 5 month waiting!!)...As benthx has pointed out in his post, it is not far away from 2007...Do you think i should cancel my order?Cause if i get the car in late 2006, even it is the same model, but it is still a 2006 car rather then 2007 car...I scare it will affect it resell value by alot later on...What do you guys think?
And i also notice one thing in this post, people from NSW who ordered in May/June, most of them got their car delivered, where as for people from Vic who ordered the same time either didnt got the date from their dealer; or need to wait till october/November to get their car....Any exception?

just cancel the deal if u can... go to another dealer and make the same deal.. u probably get the car before november hahaha... and u can also do a better deal with another dealer too.... i would definitely do it if i were u,, 5 months is ridiculous.

Just make sure you don't lose anything (eg. deposit).

As for the 2006/2007 model issue; each car has a manufacture date in the left door frame anyway so you could always advertise it as say a July 06 model; but then, noone ever really advertises a car as "Late 20xx"...
