$26k for a brand new civic isn't happening right now. Dealerships are charging over $5k above MSRP due to inflation.

You need to find the out the door price. There could be additional charges plus there is going to be a destination charge, dealer fee, Tax, registration

Doc fee, whatever protection package they overcharge for... the list of fees is endless.

So the sticker price doesn’t include those things?

No it does not. That's just the suggested price from the manufacturer. Does not include any accessories the dealer may have added to the car or any fees and taxes are going to charge you. Taxes alone could be another 1500 bucks

OP, you are very naive and new to car buying, especially the financial part. And that is VERY okay. That’s why you are here. And remember, this is a personal finance page so 99% of people here will tell you not to buy a new car in your financial situation. Especially your current car having a bad part on your exhaust system.

If your engine or transmission was failing, well yeah, that’s a different story. Even drive axles, or other major or minor repairs that add up to thousands in repair $$

I am. My grandma handled it last time for me because I was recovering from the car accident so I haven’t done this at all before.

I’m taking it to a different shop on Wednesday to see if what I can do

Prices are dropping rapidly. Msrp on a civic is doable pretty much anywhere.
