My brother-in-law is in the market for a new vehicle to replace his 2000 Subaru Legacy w/ 160Kmi.
I went with him to test-drive a new base model Civic LX 4dr auto yesterday. Nice car. Roomy, well put together interior. MPG specs seem pretty tough to beat. With three of us in it, it moved along just fine. It's got lots of electronic gizmos on the dash.
The wheeling-dealing went typical Honda style. They absolutely won't budge off of the MSRP of $19425. It's pay it or walk. Man that just seems crazy for Civic for cryin' out loud. After about an hour of pain and anguish from the old-school doofus of a Salesman, we walked because of their all to generous $1200 trade 'allowance' for his Soob. He's from the Louisville area and his Subaru is spotless aside from the mileage and a slight oil leak. They were going to come up some in an attempt to get his pymts to $299/mo for 60mo. We bailed so he could sleep on it.
Any word on this 9th gen Civic? I read some online stuff about it. I know Hondas aren't what they used to be, but 4yr old ones still sell for $17K!?!?
