I spent the day looking for a 2023 rav4 woodland edition. The car is essentially a base xle hybrid with trd tuned suspension and larger, more aggressive tire. Most dealerships I called didn’t even get an allocation. The ones that did after all the questions and back and forth, “oh by the way, there’s a 5000 markup”. I would respond with, “thanks for letting me know ,that way I can write it down and remember to never do business with you”. After 17 calls I finally found one, in the color that I wanted, and at msrp. Don’t pay these ridiculous, bogus prices.

@@richsweeney1115 1. I’ve owned many cars over the years. Only one has been in an accident, and another had hail damage which you couldn’t tell once it was fixed. To suggest every single car/most cars get in some sort of accident is crazy. 2. There are a minority of times where buying new can be an okay decision. If the prices are out of whack like they are now, you keep the vehicle for a long time/lots of mileage and take meticulous care of it, it can be worth it. It also allows you to avoid vehicles that have been abused. Mind you, this is coming from someone who only bought new one time (during a recession) and 3 years later I was offered more (including all the fees and taxes) than I paid for it (Tacoma). There were a couple other times where I really could have gone either way (new or used) and it would have been either a wash or maybe I would have paid a somewhat nominal amount for the piece of mind of a new car.

He probably did if he wanted a manual sport. Very niche car and you always overpay for niche. Dealers, just like any other business, are out to make money. They are not a charity. If someone is willing to pay $15k over sticker, then they will sell it for $15k over sticker. He could have gone to a chevy dealership. My guess is he wanted a Honda, so you pay what Honda wants. The wider you cast your net, the more likely you are not to get screwed.

I like my sunroof. I can open the sunroof and roll down all the windows and pretend it's convertible, without having to stop the car to put it back up. When the car has been parked in the hot sun, the sunroof makes it easier to vent the heat while waiting for the A/C to start cooling. In cool weather you can let the sun shine in without the cold wind.

That's the exact configuration I want (2L NA port-injection, 6MT), except for the color. I'd have asked around to see if there was someone buying an EX-L trim at the same time and see if they wanted to swap their 17" wheels with the 18" wheels.
I had a similar situation, early november, i totaled my 2015 civic so i needed a car. i originally was planning to get a used civic but the prices for them were ridiculous. i went to some local smaller dealerships and they had used ones for up to like 32k. they were had really high mileage for their years, like i found a 2022 civic with 39k. Long story short i went to a couple different honda dealerships to try and get a new one, most were in transit and already had people with deposits on them. and all the dealerships had market adjustments of 5,000 and dealer added accessories, which were “non negotiable”. i just walked out and said ok we’re good, across the street from one of the honda dealerships is a kia dealership. i decided why not just go see what they have, few hours later i walked out with a new 2023 kia forte gt for only 27k. i’ve had it for a few weeks and have zero regrets. Kia really upped their game.

I think Kia's are fine as long as they're either brand new or nearly brand new and not a car built in 2010-2015. Maybe I wouldn't expect them to last up to 200,000+ miles like a Toyota or a Honda and I would be on top of oil and other fluid changes.
I'm thankful to work at a Honda Dealership that doesn't mark up the new inventory 🥺😊. It's hard/sad hearing customers (I myself am a customer) paying markup at other dealers around me :(...
So glad I made the right purchase that is Scotty Approved. No dealer mark up when I got mine a year ago. I have yet to try that new GF6 oil. I'll check it out for my next oil change

Quick Tip because the dash was so dusty... keep a Swiffer cloth in the car and when it gets dirty from use bring it back to the house and use it there. Swiffers work better than anything else especially reusable ones.
They're never gonna stop making them 👌
Man ty Mister Scotty for your advice 🙏 wish I found you years ago because you have some really great advice I wish I would’ve heard back then. You also making me want to be a mechanic 😅
I was lucky enough to get my 2022 Civic Hatchback Sport for MSRP back in Dec 2021. I upgraded from a 2005 Civic Sedan EX (~190-200k Miles). The old Civic still ran but the repairs needed costed more than the car was worth. I had the new Civic for nearly a year now. Its been a great point A to point B car. Android Auto and Apple Carplay are great features to have. I couldn't get around on my own without GPS. Everything is so spread out here in Florida. The issues I do have are a weak front windshield defroster, cloth material gets dirty easily, and road noise. Nothing too major. I got it in the boost blue color and its just a beautiful looking car. I almost got the Elantra over it, but no one would sell it at MSRP. I'm glad I went with Civic in the end.
Ty for sharing ... great vid ... I like these updated civic's, that hatch was perfect for me specially that motor, had it in my 2018 really wanted another one but could not justify my cheap daily beater to cost so much extra $$$ ... most LX base after markups were around $29 to $32k 🤣 ... so his sport was a deal thx to the local options ... Actually wound up picking up a 2023 Altima last week for $26k ... Abeloff Nissan in Bartonsville, PA --- ZERO MSRP adjustments ... bought 2 cars from em this year w/o hassle. Not exactly my first pick for cars but after the first buy and how they treated me, I will always search there lot before others... all and all I saved around $9k between the 2 cars compared to the honda dealers... the Sad thing is even with msrp adjustments people are still taking these ... and a lot more then before ...
I’ve bought two cars from that dealership and never had any problems with sketchy fees or behavior, and found everything to be smooth and fair. That was before moving away, sucks to hear about it now because I did used to really enjoy working with them.

Great fuel economy when your cruising. Very happy with the accord. I do wish that the tires had a little taller wall to help with the road noise, but this is a minor gripe. Highly recommend if you’re looking at a 4 door sedan.

My 2022 honda hr v has no moonroof, no gdi, no low profile tires, and no push button start. It has limited electronic drivers aids, magic seats, a tried and true 1.8 liter 4 cylinder engine and gets 30mpg city and 38 mpg highway. If this civic is so good, imagine how much better my hr v is. I'm very glad I bought it before the 2023 came out. I think it is superior to any other small suv and will outlast any current Honda product .
Thanks for the advice Scotty! Your advice arrived just in time :) Oh, and Happy new year!
Geez. I called around until I got a dealership who sold me a 22 civic sport in white at msrp for cash. I had to wait 4 months and drive 90 minutes one way but it was worth it. Thanks to Scotty I knew to stick with the 2.0 liter. And yeah, PA potholes may be too rough for these wheels and tires.

Agreed. Never ever pay even close to sticker price. Find out the invoice price and pay a couple of hundred above it. Take public transport or taxis. Don't buy a new or used car at these insane prices.
I sell New Hondas in Texas, these are amazing cars. Every one of my customers loves the Honda and long lasting vehicle. Have a 2000 Accord V6 with 125k miles on it 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you. I said the same thing about stand-up screens. It looks like they stuck an I Pad on the dashboard. In one car I owned I loved the sun- roof. I could open it and get some air. I used to wear contacts, so when I opened the side windows, it hurt my eyes. But with the Honda Civic, I never used the moon-roof. I had a 2010 Honda. It was okay. After it got older, the engine idle was very rough. I don't know if the dealer service ruined the timing or if it was a problem with the car. The paint was faulty and wore down all over the car. I also had to have the heater core replaced, a costly repair. I've never had that done on any other car. And even after replaced, I still sometimes smelled pancake syrup coming out of the vents, but at least the windows didn't fog up. The seats were also extremely uncomfortable. The car was reliable, but the uncomfortable seats were not good for long trips. The dealer was also a crook, charging me for repairs they never performed.
As a cybersecurity enthusiast, an electrical e-brake is one that's hackable or programmable. Break into someone's car or offer to work on it for them and splice a small wireless controller in the circuit, and you can basically remote control their e-brake. Stay safe, buy analog when possible. 😉

I just pre ordered a CIvic! Had been a year since this video was uploaded and nothing changed
Honestly, there’s two weeks in the beginning and two weeks at the end of summer when I use my sun roof lol still looks nice from the outside though.
I really wanted the new civic (coming from a 2005 civic). All the dealerships wanted 10K above the MSRP. So I bought a used 2012 ES 350 with 50K miles for 19K. I'm happy.

Got mine back in March. Its been a great car, already done a cross country road trip. 2 years of complimentary maintenance is great. Out the door for the Sport I paid 30,000. After taxes and everything. In the end I paid about a 2,000 mark up. Considering I could not find a car in my state or surrounding states in black with the packages I wanted, dealers nowadays and the reliability and resale value of the car, I did not mind. Almost paid off! Plan on driving it until the wheels fall off which might be never with a Honda!
I've been happily cruising around in my 2016 Civic for a little over a year now. I was fortunate enough to buy it before the price of used cars went through the roof. The very first new car I ever bought was a Honda Civic and that being said this is the 3rd Civic I've ever owned and at my age hopefully it will be the last car I ever buy. Edit: I forgot to mention that it also has a sun roof which is nice to have down here in the sunshine state aka Florida.

There's a reason they do it. The built in screens are forced tl flow with the dash angle (more or less), they're also mounted lower than thhe vertical screens. Because of that you tend tk get a lot of glare on the screen that washes out the image, and you can't see anything. In the Civics case, enough people complained about the 10th gen Civics having constant glare, that Honda listened and raised the mounting location as well as increasing the angle to vertical. The screen is also closer to being inline with the sight line of the driver, rather than having to look down.
