McGrath Honda St Charles in IL

They are now tacking on a $895 McGrath Pro Pack which is $895. If not for that, they would be a good deal.

MSRP 27400.00
Savings -2733.00
Vehicle Price 24667.00
Pro Pack 895.00
Document Prep Fee 367.70
License / Title 316.00
Eff Fee 35.00
Sales Tax 1817.53
Due on Delivery 28098.23 Tax: 7%

My sales tax and title are $750. So they are really $26,715 out the door for me (I'm in Northern Alabama). I'm already at $26,999 out the door though at a dealership much closer to me on a '25 Civic Sport Sedan. It is replacing a '25 (recently totaled '25 Civic Sport) that I paid $27,592 for in Nov.

Sport Hybrid sedan

Base Price: $27,490 (MSRP $30,100, which includes destination charge)
Options/add-ons: $0 (silver, regular color)
Rebate: $250 for financing 48 months 4.9% (technically brought the base price to $27,240)
Taxes fees: $367.70 doc fee, $1952.49 state tax, $278.93 county tax, $348.67 city tax, $35 environmental fee, $316 license title fee
OTD USD: $30,877
Dealer: McGrath St. Charles, Illinois

The transaction was smooth, no push on any accessories or extended warranty.

The original base price I got from them was actually $250 less which got me in the dealership. When I asked for a credit for financing (because Schaumburg was giving $200) they said they can’t do it. But when the system printed out the sales numbers it added $250 financing credit. They bumped up the base price by $250 which I didn’t like but didn’t push it too much.

I drove an hour to get there and they said they didn’t have the silver one I requested. I told them I was disappointed and wasn’t going to buy another color. I test drove a silver hybrid touring but they discounted it $1900, not even close to the $2860 for the Sport hybrid. I was about to walk away but they said they actually just had a delivery that afternoon and we found the car with the VIN that I noted, with all the stickers on it. It had one mile on it….. so ended up buying it.

They were asking for $100 accessory fee for mats, wheel locks and mud flaps but since this car was brand new it didn’t have any of them so they took that off the invoice. I actually thought about having them install it for that price, but we ran out of time so didn’t do it. No premium costs for McGrath package either.

Downtown Chicago Honda made a last minute attempt but wouldn’t give me an OTD price. And surprisingly Schaumburg wouldn’t even go below $29k even though they had tons of hybrids on the lot. Weird.

Overall I’m happy. I was hoping they would discount the Touring as much but they said they can’t. Oh well. I couldn’t see myself paying another $4k.

 

[nash123]

I would jump on that !

I just bought one. I posted the pricing on a new post in this thread.

 

[HondaEh]

Get Canadian Hybrid (sedan) while you can... Do not know if 25% tariffs will jack up price in USA.

 

[Derrick]

I believe American market Civic HATCHBACK hybrids are made here in Greensburg, Indiana. But, of course, tariffs could affect parts that are made elsewhere?...

I pulled the trigger on this deal on a '25 Civic Sport Sedan on Saturday. Crest Honda in Nashville. This is replacing a totaled '25 Civic. Super happy with the deal.

Initial price $27,400
Sales price $24,900
Honda Loyalty -$250
Doc fee $799
Taxes $849.63
Misc Fee $7
Tire fee $5
TItle $130

$26,440.63 out the door

Destination chg $1,150
Dealer Discount $2,400
Doc Fee $199
Registration $1445

Any opinions if this is a good price? This quote is a couple hours away from my home. I hope to show it to my local dealer to see if they would beat it.

Congrats on your car! I'm at Chicagoland area looking for hybrid sport touring as well. Do you mind sharing your experience of negotiating or what dealership you been to, and what thoughts you have to them? I have Honda Countryside offered to beat any other Honda's price, and Honda Elmhurst offering 30.5k for the car as well. Is this a good deal? Are there actually 3k difference between Sport and Sport Touring? Thanks!

I emailed probably 7-8 dealerships randomly in the area and stopped by in only one, St. Charles, where I bought the car. I only worked with the ones that would give me an “out the door” price with all the breakdowns (not just base price) so that I can see if they have any add ons. One of them was adding a $600 accessory fee that that they wouldn’t budge from. I also didn’t work with the ones that kept saying they can beat a price if I come in, I wanted the out the door and if they didn’t provide it, I didn’t pursue them. can’t comment if the $30.5 is a good price for Touring. For Sport Hybrid I’d shot for a discount $2500-3000 from MSRP (be careful, some of them include the destination charge in it and some don’t) and probably $1900-$2000 off for Hybrid Touring? Don’t take my number for Hybrid Touring though because I didn’t negotiate for Hybrid Touring at all but I feel like they didn’t want to discount Hybrid Touring as much as the Sport at St. Charles.

Thanks for the details. I'm making calls and sending emails only out to 3 dealers now, nglthe invoice price they gave me is 30.5k which looks vert good to me, and their OTD price is 34k. Called in my lunch time to see the car tonight. Another dealer called me as well offering 33k lmaoo, sent a screenshot to them of the 30.5k offer and they are not even calling me anymore. Low-key worrying that they buy out the car this afternoon ahead of me.
Will see if this will turn and be ugly tonight.

I got a hybrid sport sedan from Schaumburg $27, 740, OTD $30,388, no dealer add ons. If your deal for the sport touring sedan has no dealer add ons they need to come down at least another $1,000.

Exactly. I asked them to match the discount for Sport and they wouldn’t even come near it.

Really? I'm heading to Valley Honda now who is offering 33.3k. How should I start that negotiation?

I think the numbers John and I are talking about above are theoretical numbers which I didn’t get when I tried. Best of luck.

And don’t forget to ask for lease or financing rebate ($250 for financing, may be higher for leasing) if you are not paying cash.

Yep. I'm going with the idea that the touring is around 3k more than the sedan.
