How Much Should I Pay: 2009 Honda Civic

Question: How much should I pay for 2009 Honda Civic LX?

Queen of the Road: Hi there. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! Keep in mind that the price you pay all depends on the MSRP of the car you’re looking at. There’s different types of deals to choose from as well: Lowest Priced, Biggest Discounted Price, etc. It depends on what you’re looking for.

If you see a one online or at a dealership, send me the MSRP and I’ll calculate a Selling Price. To see the complete list of deals, average and maximum discount off MSRP and Cash & Finance Specials, go to www.AutoBrag.com.

According to AutoBrag’s statistics for the 2009 Civic,
The National Average discount off MSRP: 7.56%
The National Maximum discount off MSRP: 10.46%

If you see a particular car you want, you can easily calculate the percentage off MSRP to see if you’re getting a good deal by comparing it to AutoBrag’s discount statistics.

How To Calculate The % Off MSRP: MSRP – Selling Price = X / MSRP = Y

Selling Price = The price the dealership is willing to sell the new car for. Excluding tax, registration and dealer fees

X = the dollar amount saved off MSRP

Y = the % off MSRP (Move the decimal point over two digits to the right and that’s the percentage you’re saving.)

I highly recommend you start a virtual negotiation with your surrounding dealers through Braggle on www.AutoBrag.com. You basically place anonymous offers to all dealerships within a 25 to 200 mile radius within your zip code. Dealerships get to compete for your business without gaining your contact information. This method is the easiest procedure and it’s free of charge. There is no obligation to buy if a dealer accepts your bid.
