Question from Reminice: I’m back looking for this car:

Year: 2000
Make: Honda
Model: Civic
Trim: EX Coupe 2dr
Transmission: Manual
Mileage: 50k or ~90k
Buy/Sell: Buying
Party: Private Party or Dealership
Zip: 11355

I was wondering what the average price of this particular car would cost and at what price I should be buying it at no matter how clean it is or strong the engine. I’ve seen $5000 up to $6500. Are there any available located within 30miles in my area that are great bargains? What do I need to know about the vehicle before purchasing it? Trying to get as much info as possible so that I am ready.

Queen of the Road: Hi Reminice! Welcome back. You’re doing the right thing be trying to educate and prepare yourself as much as possible. That is key! I guarantee you’ll save yourself money.

For a 2000 Honda Civic EX 5sp with 50,000 miles, prices range from $6,100 (being in above average condition) to $5,100 (being in average condition) and $4,000 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $4,700 to $7,000.

For a 2000 Honda Civic EX 5sp with 90,000 miles, prices range from $5,400 (being in above average condition) to $4,400 (being in average condition) and $3,300 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $4,000 to $6,300.

It’s difficult to determine a set price to pay without considering the condition of the appearance and the engine. I poked around Craigslist in New York City and there are quite a number of 2000 Honda Civics to choose from. You shouldn’t have a problem finding one. You can find a bargain if you call and negotiate with the owner. You have to take a shot otherwise prices will never lower.

Before purchasing, always be sure to check carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. If you are buying from a private party, you should expect to pay from 5% to 10% over wholesale market. Let us know if you have any further questions. Keep us posted on how everything goes. You’ll be fine!

Question: Hi, im back again

Year: 2000
Make: Honda
Model: CR-V
Trim: EX 4×4 Automatic
Mileage: 63,584
Asking Price (Sticker price, since i haven’t gone in yet): $9,990… but they also want $299 processing + $695 PDI fees. So around $11,400ish OTD.

can you tell me how much i should expect to pay for this car? thanks.

Queen of the Road: Welcome back!! We are happy to help but we ask that you tell your friends about AutoBrag and AutoBragBlog.  Our goal is to become the largest destination for car shoppers to get easy no hassle expert advice for FREE!

For a 2000 Honda CR-V 4WD EX Auto with 63,584 miles, prices can range from $8,400 (being in above average condition) to $7,700 (being in average condition) and $6,900 (being below average condition). Generally, most dealerships have about a minimum 12%-14% markup from wholesale prices. Expect a dealership to settle for the above figures +$1000. So an average condition CR-V will most likely retail for $8,700. We recommend that you keep negotiating.  There should be plenty of pre-owned Honda CR-Vs around so take some extra time to negotiate a great deal.

In regards to the Pre-Delivery Inspection Fees (PDI for short) we think its outrageous they are charging $695 or almost 7% of the car price to make sure the car they are selling you is up to standards.  Without knowing who the dealer is we don’t like the high PDI fees and the way they do business.  You’d be better off buying from a Honda franchised dealership that is selling the CR-V certified.

In conclusion… the price is bad, the fees are bad, and the whole deal doesn’t sound right.  You should be able to buy the car privately for around $8,000 then go spend a few hundred dollars with a certified local mechanic and get the car inspected yourself.  With the money saved you can afford to get a professional detail for about $100 as a treat.

For a 2000 Honda CRV EX AWD with 45,000 miles, prices range from $8,650 (being in above average condition) to $7,850 (average condition) and $7,050 (being below average condition).

Just keep in mind that these are wholesale prices and that is what the dealers are paying for them. You should check what was replaced on the accident that this car was involved. If the car is in good condition, you should try to negotiate for $8,000. Good Luck!!!
