Price List Price for the Civic

[Brodick]

Something that has come to my attention is the amount of people saying
they bought their civic for £20,000 £21,000 or more and then if they have problems point out that they shouldn't be having these sort of problems in a £20,000, £21,000 or more car

Your car isn't really worth that much you have added quite a few options
to your car for it to be that much and some of these options may actually be a waste of money come trade in time !!!

Civic List Prices in the UK:

5 door 1.4 models

S - £13,207 ( if you want a base model and if your dealer can find one)
SE - £14,277

Your point?
Don't most people choose options because they want that on/in their car?
I seriously doubt that they worry that it may be not worth much come trade in !!

[Brodick]

My point is I am fed up with folk saying I have a £21000 Honda civic
with poor suspension or a dodgy fuel cap and comparing it to other cars that cost £21,000 + that are somewhat better where as the civic is worth a maximum of £18627 it wasn't built as a £21,000 car

[Jack The Lad.]

I, being one of those who forked out £20,100 to be exact, on my 2.2 diesel Type S GT, Brodick am still entitled to have a moan when required , when something daft goes wrong with it.
Its not going to make me less annoyed, if I deduct - the sat nav, rear spoiler , metalic paint etc.

If you pay £21k for a car, it is a £21k car.

[Brodick]

Oh I thought this was such a good point when I started out.

I am not saying that people should not complain if they have issue
What I am saying is you cannot make comparisons to much more expensive cars people have compared the civic to a BMW 3 series, audi A4's

the starting price for a 3 series is £ 21,915!!! then add on your options
the starting price for a A4 is £21,810!!! then add on your options

Civic 1.8 SE is £ 14,927 then add on your options

Sorry, still don´t get the point.

I'll get me coat

[Jack The Lad.]

I have a 38 year old client, who has just purchased a new Bentley at
162k and added 12k of factory fit extras to it, at time of order.
If and when it goes wrong, he certainly wont be shouting at Bentley Customer Services, :----------- I paid *******162k for this car and its gawn wrong.

[Jack The Lad.]

Don't do that Brodick, I do kind of see where you are coming from.
But from a distance.

Because Bentley owners have someone else to do their shouting for them?

[Jack The Lad.]

I do his shouting for him, when it's about his building sites and Planning issues, but when it comes to his cars, believe me,- he can really shout.

[jazzman]

I understand what you mean but it still comes down to if you buy a new car and it goes wrong it really does`nt matter what you paid for it it, the difference is generally Honda dealers are good (with a few exceptions)

[TTDegs]

I can see where you're coming from Brodick

Basically, we have bought a £15K - £18K car (and then paid more on top for any extras)
We should not therefore be expecting the same build quality as if we had bought a £22K A4, or a £22K 3 series BM.


To take this to an extreeme (if I'm reading you right ) - if we had spent £6K on some base level Micra (or whatever), we certainly wouldn't expect the same fit and feel as the aforementioned £162K Bentley


Valid point, interesting debate

[terry]

But if you had all the options possible it could cost over £30k!

Oh! But according to you ALL makes and ALL models have build quality issues and the civic is no exception!!

Well I paid £15,500 for mine (parking sensors, fog lights as add on) my neighbour bought a Yaris for just under £8000 and guess what she has not had a single problem !! Work that one out!

Oh an if you dont think people should not make comparisons with more expensive cars, stop harking on about your perfect CRV everytime you mention your mum's perfect civic!!!

[Jack The Lad.]

AND -- I bet you a a pound to a penny, that my client, will be taking his Bentley back a few times as well.
Well, actually he will not, cos they would pick it up on a low loader from his house.
Well covered up I would think.
Going out in it soon, wonder if I will hear a rattle.
Think I will be wearing me posh shades.

Some Makers make less mistakes than others

Honda is one of these makers that make less mistakes

End of.
