Considering the lowest price Honda Civic on Autotrader is ~$10000 and goes up to $23000 in my area, I'd say you got shafted on your Civic unless there was a loan balance that was also paid off.

Details matter. The BRZ may have been a shit deal if you got shafted on the trade-in.

My friend, you are now driving a BRZ. The details of the transaction matter not, because . . . you are now driving a BRZ.

When I traded in my 08 Accord Coupe I bent over, took it up the ass like an obediant BRZ fanboy, and, despite some discomfort, smiled the whole time.

And I've been smiling ever since.

You've demonstrated particular acumen by defying those who hang onto the silly notion that shoving one's left foot to the floor in order to change gears (left hand drive, of course) is 'funner'.

Fucking troglodytes.

Anyway, happy BRZing.

Thanks for all the opinions. My Civic is in excellent condition and I went to three different Subaru dealerships in the area. They were offering between 7,000 to 8,000. Prior to ownership, the car was involved in an accident which brings value down some...and I need new tires and brakes...but I don't think they know about it.

Either way, I still could negotiate a bit more when they bring my baby blue brz from another area in a few days for final paper work. I pulled up the blue book and it ranges, in my area for trade-ins, between 8400 to 9400. But from most of the posts so far, it seems like they were pretty decent.

Did you put down a deposit or sign some type of preliminary paperwork to buy the car, at a certain price, when it arrives?

Unfortunately you might not be able to renegotiate the price. But you should try if you're unhappy with the deal.

I suppose you think the clutch pedal on a right hand drive car is on the ceiling?

Have they really increased that much in price over the years for that to be a "good deal?" It's not like he paid a crazy amount or anything, but that doesn't seem like any kind of "deal," really, for a Limited. Just seems like a standard price. I only paid $50 more for my 2015 Series.Blue.
