Icon2 Buying 2007Si Sedan TOMORROW! help!

Details on car:
2007 Si Sedan for $17,8000
Taffeta White (nicest color in my opinion and hardest to find in my area)
mileage:9.7k miles...yes you read that right.
Clean title & carfax
Mechanic and i inspected the car from top to bottom to make sure there was no accidents or anything like that was not reported. everything came out flawless!

so tomorrow im going to be in there negotiating for a even better price. Please HELP me out if you live in the los angeles county area.

give me the dollar amount on your vehicle on what you paid for license, tax, title, registration, any dealer fees, etc...i just want to get an estimate of what i should be expecting so i dont get ripped off. thx alot in advance

I paid 18,299 for my 08 Si with just 7 miles on it and a full warranty since it was new. I just got it last week, im in NY though so maybe pricing is different there. Good luck.

It was like 20,100 total with tax. Not entirely sure if that number is correct with the 100 but cant check now because im working. Here we have 8% tax but you can write the tax of new vehicle off this year so that will help some. Im happy I got her new. Im the only one who gets to molest my car...lol

Dealer leftover, I was surprised to see it when I drove by the dealership. They had 2 of them in Nighthawk blue pearl. I looked at one last year around the same month and they were priced at 22k and change. When I saw they had it at 18,900 I jumped for it. I was debating between a WRX and an Si. But for the price I couldn't pass up the Si. Like I said I got it with only 7 miles on it for 18,299. I saved almost 4k by waiting a year to grab one.

9,700 miles. Why the thorough inspection? Why shouldn't it be perfect. If you got it at a honda dealer it already had an inspection and checked out. With 9700 miles and being an 07' it's not an unbelievable find. It's a civic not a ferrari, there are tons of them out there.

You're probably the guy that looks at a brand new car and says "let me check this baby out and make sure it's a good car, I don't want to get ripped off".

When I got my 89' celica after my omni I thought it was the ****. Then I got my new 98'civic and thought I was cool, little did I know at the time I would still get smoked by most cars on the road even though I had vtec in my EX 5sp coupe.

Yes check for rust. The 07's had a problem I think because of the bad winter that year.

i got my 07 si sedan with only 4k miles certified preowned, but i only got like $2000 less than an 08 Si. but the certified warranty is actually better and tax title and insurance was cheaper on it so it was all good lol.

We've still got a '98 Si sedan on our lot. I've had a verbal commit for $18500. I've heard of one other instance where a guy bought an '08 for $18200-something. For another $400 to $700, you could buy a brand new one on clearance pricing.

The one here is silver with the standard gunmetal rims.

Hey dude, I know this sounds crazy, but you should get a 2009 instead because your APR for a used car will be higher than getting a new car. You might end up paying around the same price. Just be patient and bargain down.

My family is bargaining down a 09 Civic Si with a Navi, I'm going to start a thread and ask people right now to give me some advice.

your just a hater dude leave the guy alone hes just posting about his experience and asking for some advice just because you cant afford a newer car doesnt mean you need to hate on somebody go hate on somebody else's thread
