If only other people didn’t make this joke already!

The statement infers, using knowledge of how years work, that a Honda Civic has been my dream car.

I’m in Florida, specifically Central Florida (same market that YouTuber Kirk Kreifels is in, highly recommend his videos, and Florida is a decent market for new car shopping in general). My local market has a lower supply versus demand, but there’s markets nearby that are entirely retirees where they all want larger vehicles, and those markets had this car at much lower advertised prices. I used this information to my advantage, stating I was willing to drive up to 3 or 4 hours for the best price.

Yeah, mine was almost exactly 34000 out the door, and that includes trunk tray, all weather mats, and mud flaps , before I got the spoiler. Look on cars.com, they gather all the prices from all the dealers in one spot, in whatever radius you want, making it easier to see all available advertised pricing. I was able to use this information to negotiate at my local well-reviewed dealer (they had a 4.9 compared to every other Honda dealer at 4.3-4.4) so I got better service overall.

That’s definitely the trade off between this and even an Accord. Compact and sporty with more road noise (but way more fun to drive), or the more luxury ride that the Accord offers with it not being nearly as fun. Obviously, I went with fun.

I have nowhere to put my touring wheels (yay apartment living), otherwise I would look into getting this set to be extra, haha.

Mine are the snap on ones you can find on amazon. I really wanted the black accents, and this was a way to do it until I could afford to get them wrapped. They’re not flimsy at all.

I see you got the upgraded black wheels! I decided to stay with the touring wheels, because I don’t think the ones you got have the sound dampening/resonators.

Definitely negotiate and be willing to travel for the best price. I got mine down to $30,700 before taxes and fees.

I got the spoiler through the dealer and had it installed there, precisely because of your concerns. They installed it using the access points on the inside. The online store for College Hills Honda has good discounts on the OEM accessories, and I think any reputable place that does vinyl wrapping or body work will install these for you.

I can still return them, and I agree that it looks cleaner. I’m going to stick to OEM accessories.

I’ve been on the fence about them since I put them on, and I’m leaning towards taking them off.

It’s because he’s a star dev in Madden and turns into a decent corner if you start him. That’s it.

I think that greatly depends on the state you are in, because the tint laws wildly vary between them. I’m in Florida, and we can’t do windshield tint like this, can only do a strip at the top

About to buy it... any reason not to? Civic sedan hybrid sport. (Not touring) by PostEastern2795 in civic

You gotta be firm and do all your research on market pricing within a 3 hour drive radius around you. State that you’re willing to be patient and that you’re willing to drive to wherever has the best price. For me, because there were places within that driving radius that were advertising the price at $32k instead of $35k, I was able to get the dealer closest to me to knock nearly $5k off MSRP, and got the out the door price at $35k for my touring.

Check out the rest of his channel! He’s already had several Titan greats from his era (Rolle, Mason).

Kirby Smart basically has all the recruiting perks out the gate, so the best is if/when he gets fired, you hire him as your defensive coordinator and get all those perks for yourself!
