We had a "Smart" car on order for about a year. This purchase was going to be for my wife who was currently in an 03 Mazda 6. About a month ago we decided the Smart was not going to be the car to buy and started looking for a new Civic Hybrid in the Dallas area. Every dealer had the same story - none in stock - we'll presell you one from what we have coming in and it will be about 30 to 40 days. Went to a few dealers and worked a deal at sticker, $23,235 including destination (no nav) here in Dallas. After some negotiating this dealer allowed us $800 more for our trade than any other. Other dealers wanted as much as $500 over sticker. Also purchased the 8 year, 120,000 mile, $0 deductible, Hondacare warranty for $1000. This was after they started at $1995 for it but armed with info I picked up on this forum that you could buy the warranty online from any dealer ($1000 from Bernardi Honda) they relented and sold it to us for that price. Financed at 2.9% through Honda for 5 years to keep the payment down. Someone dropped off the waiting list and we took delivery in 2 weeks about 10 days ago. Thanks
