2006 Civic Si is more expensive than my 2006 EVO 9 ??

Wow just look at ebay, one 2006 Honda Civic Si with 18" wheels and body kit for $26500 ! And its a used car with 900 miles on it. I got my band new 2006 EVO 9 RS for $25999 ! People are crazy about Honda Civic Si !! Local Honda dealer mark up $5000 for a new Si. I don't mind to drive a Si for daily work, but with those price, I reather to get a EVO 9 !!

yea you're right. The hype has died down a lot but they were being marked up to 27k+ when they first came out about 2 months back. If you pay that price for one - you're an idiot...one of my friends just picked one up for 20,800 with TTL, and another for 20,500.

The new Honda Civic Si uses the same engine as the Acura RSX, so it's really not a special high powered brand new just for the Si motor. Basically, it was all hype, but that's what saleman wants your to believe, to get more money from you.

i know this guy who paid 27k without tax for the Si a week after it came out.

very unfortunate, because for 1500 more he could have gotten an Evo IX gsr.....

oh well he's happy with his car though. too bad it's not him but his parents who took the hit

Where did you get a new Evo for 1,000 under invoice cost? Is that the amount in which the car was sold to you, or does that number include money down, down payment assistance, or a trade?

In March South Coast Mit had crazy deals on Evo, and they did sell the RS for $25,999. Now they are $1000 more.

What? Want to share your sources? Mugen is going to release a car through Honda called the Dominator seriously that is quite a ridiculous statement, but you may be right because Honda has had such a vast history of releasing vehicles with intimidating names such as the Enforcer, Cobra, Viper, Demolisher, Challenger and etc.
