Default Ordered an '06 today!

Greetings all,

After much deliberation, I went to my dealer today and traded my '04 HCH and ordered an '06 HCH w/ Navi.

It was a good day for the salesman as I brought my Dad with me and he traded his '03 HCH and also ordered an '06 w/ Navi.

It's funny because I have a magnesium '04 and he has an opal '03.....we sorta switched as I liked his and he liked mine....I got the opal and he got the magnetic pearl. We both got GREAT trade values, a small discount (the trade in made up for it) that was the deal maker. The only downside is that the 2.9% financing through AH is no longer offered, they are at 6.9%, so I'll be putting more money down.

I find out on Monday how long I have to wait, but they have a few cars unspoken for and due in about 4-6 weeks from now.

Thanks to this board and everyone on this forum for helping me to decide on the '06!

Best regards,
Renato

Congradulations. I am still trying to convince my partner to trade in his '05 for an '06 with Nav. It is such a difference. You'll love it. Keep posting your progress.

Hi AZMerf;
I just took a minute and checked out your "Shared-Photos".

I like expecially the Interior Shot of the Gauges Lit-Up.

Click On Picture To Blow-Up: Great !!!!!



Looks Really Great; {Blown-Up}.


Regards;

Terry

Congratulations.

I also just got back from purchasing a Silver 2006 w/navi. I finally decided on the Civic and went to the dealer today. They let me take a test ride alone so that was a bonus. While I always admired the looks of the new Civic, I never sat in one until today. It is very nice and the size is fine for me. The blue interior was better looking in person than I thought it would be.

Having never driven a Hybrid though, the first time the engine auto stopped at a light, it kind of freaked me out until I realized it was working exactly as it should.

They are supposed to be getting the car from another dealer this coming week, so we'll see. Worst case I have to wait a month but that is fine with me.

I am really looking forward to getting it. After lurking around this forum for months, I finally just registered.

Congrats as well!

I wasn't able to test drive one, or see one in the flesh....but I am anxious to compare the '03/'04 to the '06.

It's the one picture I really wanted to see when I was waiting for mine. I figured I could share the favor with someone else.

I am super psyched.....my dealer just called to let me know that my car is in! Of course I wanted to pick it up asap (the end of the day) or even tomorrow, but I'll have to wait until Saturday a.m. It's better this way so that I have time to go to my bank and look for the title.
