Worry more about saving the earth and not as much about being politically correct.
Stay classy, DadyKool.

For the "everyone else knows what I meant by it" on the board, here's an organization in Arizona that could use your donations: Southern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault, http://www.sacasa.org/index.html. Quoting them, "By the age of 18, 1 in 4 girls will be sexually assaulted and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused."

At $26k you might have paid more than you had to. Dont worry, just drive it, save some gas money and enjoy a reliable car...

I read the guys thread about how much people paid for their 07, now I want to know what people are paying for their 08's. I paid 26100/otd with Nav/tint/splash guards,etc(the things they say cost 1500). I live in Az and the msrp is 25k with that stuff before tax, title, etc. Then of course the financing is the tricky place. I purchased the warranty(5/100k) and alarm, which total was 2k(i might have gotten screwed there). If I didnt purchase that they'd give me 6.25% but if i purchased that I got 5.75% financing which was better than my bank, so it felt like a wash cause the end amount after 5yrs is still the same. Please somebody tell me I got an ok deal.
I got my '07 w/navi and an extended warranty for 26.1k otd. Works out to 24k after the tax credit. So yes I'd agree with a previous poster you might have overpaid by 1k, but still got an okay deal.

On my financing it was at 7.39% when int rates were higher and my credit was lower, but just refi'd at 6.1% :D Will be in no hurry to pay off that puppy quickly now.

I just bought an '08 Civic Hybrid w/Navi, Wheel Locks, Pin Stripes, Cargo Net, and 'Protection Package' for $24000. With all the add-ons they wanted $26500 for it. Had it not been end of the month I don't think I could have gone below sticker price. I feel like I got a good deal and am happy with the car.

If that protection package is the extended warranty than you got a good deal. Mine was about the same but no cargot net, pin stripes or wheel locks. The only thing I wish the Nav had would be real time traffic data, but Honda seems to reserve that feature for only higher end Acuras these days.

The 'protection package' is simply scotchgarding and a coat of wax :P And they managed to scratch the rear bumper applying it :P I took it by the dealership today to have them look at it and they said to bring it back Monday and they'd fix it. I ended up buffing them out myself this afternoon(they weren't deep at all).

I was surprised I was able to talk them down from $26500 to $24000 including all that crap. I did get the extended warranty...they wanted $1495 for 8 yrs/100000 mile bumper to bumper and I talked them down to $1000 and got them to throw in 5/50 tire/wheel replacement and 5/50 roadside assistance/rental reimbursement/trip interruption. Which goes to show what a profit center that side of the business is. And Honda Finance beat my best financing rate by a full point.

So I guess I should say I paid $25000 plus tax/tag/title for an '08 with Navi/Wheel Locks/Pin Stripes/Wax/Scotchgard/Cargo Net/Ext Warranty/Tire Replacement/Roadside Assistance/Rental/Trip Interruption.

Plus I still got in on half of the tax break.

And I'm averaging 40 mpg in 50/50 driving.

Which is 2.5x better than the Cadillac I sold got. And 1.5x better than the Miata I traded in got.

I'm a happy camper!
