Will all the new civics be going for MSRP when they hit the market? I'm asking this because I plan on contacting my dealership to ask if they can put me on a waiting list once the car debuts on the 16th. I wouldnt want to sound too forward and interested if they will be available for lower prices. I would really appreciate any insight, especially from someone who has experience purchase a NEW new car.

Thanks for all your insights. I dont mind paying MSRP, and it looks like I will have to. I just wouldnt feel right if I bought the car at a price I didnt need to. I'm just happy that we're getting close enough to the release where these questions are popping into my mind.

I haven't used True Car but I hear great things about it. It is definitely a tool that you could use. The good news is, I don't think you'll have to spend over MSRP for sure. The Civic is such a popular vehicle, if one place is charging too much for it, you can always head to another dealer and get it for a cheaper price.

In my local experience with nearby dealerships, edmunds has always offered a much better offer than trucar. Their offers are currently $17000 for the EX and $20000 for EX-L with Navi, and this includes the destination fee.

I'm just going to bite the bullet and buy at MSRP. l've been following edmunds price promise for the Honda Pilot and HRV and for the first few months they were stuck to MSRP and now there are only a couple hundred dollars off. I'm sure you could get a slightly better deal waiting and further negotiating with the dealer, but i'm going to forgo that to get the car at launch.
