Is the freight charge on top of the destination charge included in the MSRP? Is the dealer shipping the car to get it? I’ve never paid a “freight” fee but I’m sure there are situations that warrant it.
Msrp includes destination. Some dealers will back it out and then charge is to make the discount look better than it actually is. Looks like what is going on here.
I would double check that MSRP build sheet. Most mfgs include destination aka freight in the MSRP.
I know buying out of state is not the most ideal situations, but I’d look around for either a broker, or a dealer where the fees are more regulated, so the discount is an actual discount, and not just a number that gets negated once the fees come into account.
You need to broaden your search to include what’s leasing well in February 2021. There are a lot of competing cars in this segment and sometimes the payment differences are significant. Don’t assume they’ll lease the same even if their MSRPs are very close to each other.
Most cars do not lease well. This is truer now than it has ever been.
So look at other makes/models that lease better and offer more value per dollar.
Check out the “Share a Deal” and “Marketplace” sections of LH forums to see what’s leasing well and narrow down your search.
Not a terrible deal - especially if they knock out some of those fees a bit. Just be aware - there is a new 11th gen 2022 Civic that is coming out in a couple of months. It is likely to be more expensive - Honda raises prices on new year models (even if they are not refreshed)
That looks a decent deal, though beware that 11th gen 2022 civic is also coming and honda generally increases price with every new model. and if you want the latest model, wait for a couple of months. Else go for the 2020 Civic, mostly the same as 2021, it will save you a lot.
No NOT a good deal., Wait for the new civic if you can. Why over pay for an almost last generation civic when you can grab the new one soon. Plus 300 a month can get you into an accord sport and with a a few sheckles more a honda accord sport special addition. Don’t get ripped off by paying 300 a month for a last generation civic.
