Finally buying a civic...

kgbhoy · 24th May 2007, 13:34

Recently, I have decided that my Opel Astra has seen it's final days of service and now deserves to be retired. With 130,000 miles on the clock she has served her time well. After much searching and test driving I was all but ready to buy a vw golf... then I made a brief, last minute visit to the Honda dealership. The rest is history and I am now in the market for a Civic. But not just any civic. For me the price has got to be right.

Therefore, what I am looking for is some advice on what I should expect to pay in Northern Ireland for the following:

2006 ES 2.2 <10kmiles
2007 ES 2.2 <10kmiles
2006 EX 2.2 <20kmiles
2007 EX 2.2 <20kmiles

(None of these will be brand new as my basic budget was always in and around 14-15k)

Also, if there are any members here from Northern Ireland that could recommend a dealer who is ready to haggle and do a good deal or any tips for working with the dealers it would be much appreciated. I look forward to the day I own my own Honda and can become a fully fledged member of the Civic community.

I picked my Nov 2006 with 6 miles up from agnew honda on boucher road. Price on the windscreen was 16,500. After my px and paying cash I got it down to 13,500 with bluetooth, carpet mats, flaps and ambient lighting fitted. Also got Supaguard and VRI for free with it, they are generally good to deal with.

Most helpful... a couple of questions and please pardon my complete ignorance:

1. What did you px?
2. What model is your civic?
3. What is VRI and finally...
4. Do you remember the name of the sales advisor?

Thanks for the welcome and the advice so far guys, it is most heartily appreciated I can assure you.
