I'm trying to buy a Honda Civic. Which is the best dealer in the SF Bay
Area?

Opinions?

TIA

there isn't one. they're all remarkably expensive and similarly
over-priced. scary. you need to drive at least two hours out of town
to get reality. l.a. is worth consideration too.

1. test drive locally to decide /exactly/ what you want.
2. make a list.
3. call around stating up front that you know what you want but that
you're shopping on price. if they agree to listen, give them your exact
list. if they try to steer you, call the next dealer, etc.

eventually, you'll find someone that knows the drill and they'll agree
terms over the phone. have them fax or email you their agreement with
spec and price. drive over and collect!

i had luck like this in modesto. my girlfriend got hers from a dealer
in sacramento. above all, stick to your guns and keep calling!

try kb.com (kelly blue book )

Select exact car you want.
Ask for quote from livermore honda.

I got back a quote way under MSRP and they stuck to it through the
deal.
No hassle.

Good luck
