I don't know why you want last gen Civic, I rented one for two weeks and absolutely hated it. Anyways, it has nothing to do with gas prices, Civics have always had a very high resale value. I think it's a combination of strong Honda resale value and plenty of naive kids willing to spend whatever it takes to get the car they want. Pretty much all late model (foreign) cars have ridiculously high asking prices at the dealer. You could buy a brand new car for the same price, like you I just don't get it. When I bought my 1.5 year old Accord I ended up buying from a private party and got what I considered a fair price (cheapest dealer wanted $1200 more.) If somebody is asking $17k and you offer $11k, do you really expect to get a positive response? I don't even bother contacting people/dealers who are asking ridiculous prices for a car. If you're willing to haggle I think a you could get the dealer down $3-4k off asking price. It's going to be an unpleasent experience for sure, but it can be done.

$17k on a 2 year old civic is still insane no matter how you cut it.
