i bought 2 honda's from them over the years.
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
Here is what I am looking at with one dealer that has been emailing me daily to try to work a deal:
AWD HONDA CRV EX-L with NAV AWD
Car Price: $27,500 (inlcudes Destination fee)
SCV Fee: $199
TAG & Title Fee: $154.50
Tax : 5.5% (How do I calculate the tax?)
OTD: $29,366.00
I also asked about some added options but they are quoting me almost $4,000 on options that I can purchase online for $2,600 but I do not know what it would cost to have them installed. Should I purchase through dealer with warranty or purchase online and have installed. If so where do I go to get the installed?
I have two other dealers sending over quotes right now that said they are going to beat the price and a third that told me they will beat anyones final price. I am waiting on the emails.

Sell Price: $23,786
+ Taxes, Tags (transfer tag), Fees
Total O.T.D. : $26,214.14
Taxes and tags may be part of the price you pay, but don't tell us much about your deal because the state sets those.
What you left out that is important is what the doc fee is.
Assuming it's an EX 2WD, invoice is $24209, so you're getting most of the holdback. Could be a decent deal, could be a good one for the dealer. Don't know without knowing the doc fee.
2013 CRV EXL-NAV AWD
MSRP 31,125 (Destination included)
Invoice 29,264 (Destination included)
Your quote 27,500 (Destination included)
Are dealer doc fees included in any price?
Does your state charge the SUV Fee or is that a dealer fee?
Tax is calculated on the price of the car so it would be 5.5% of 27,500.
$4,000 sounds like a lot of options, way beyond mud guards and roof rails.
you are about 1,736 below invoice. Good going so far.
I am going to close in on the deal tomm like you expected. I emailed all the dealers for lowest price and got them bidding and all but one dealer offered me a deal for 25050 out of door including all whether floor mats and cargo tray (which comes to about 250 $)taxes are 6.5 % in MN.
The invoice is 23414 , so I think it's roughly 600 below invoice, am happy with the deal but the Kona coffee color was not available so he said it might take him 2 weeks to get it and I agreed as I am in no rush.
Although I am happy with the deal my biggest consolation is that there is no dealer who even responded to match that price in a 100 mile radius so I am content that I did not leave any stone unturned and got as low as I could in the time frame.
Thanks for all your help.

Good job.. get them involved in pricing make your deal friday or sat. Every time one dealers gives you a price tell them the other honda dealership is cheaper . If your still at 600 below on friday tell other dealers that 800 gets it done on that day . play the game til you feel you are satisfied with your price. Time is still on your side.... tell every dealer that the other dealers are giving you free bee's like oil changes, car washes etc.
Call the closest dealer to your house and make them match or beat your best deal. On Friday night if you have not struck a deal yet..

I am looking at alot of options but may not get them due to the price of the car and what the dealers are asking for install fees.
Some of the other dealers are telling me there is no way that any dealer is going to sell me this car at this price and that they are going to add to it when I go in to pick up. But there are others that are offering to beat it.
I have been helping and telling people for years in this edmunds forum
How you find out market price,
and how to make your best deal with the least amount of wasted dealership time and B.S.
post your deals so you could help the other members.
good luck and happy hunting

Is it the best price you can get, you will only know by having dealers compete against each other.
Again , follow Brian's advice and decide on Friday or Saturday. It is the end of the month and the end of the quarter. Dealers that are close to meeting sales incentives will be more likely to give you a better price. The only way you can find out is to have multiple dealers competing to sell you a car.
Just in case it is always a good idea to keep the next lowest offer open in case your low bidder is going to play games, you have a backup and can walk. Don't wait too long on Saturday at 9am you have options, at 4pm you may run out of time unless your dealers are open Sunday.

i never try to burn bridges with my lowest bidders. sometimes its as many as 5 to10 dealerships.

Honda may put out a cash incentive for april depending on there sales. will have to wait and see.
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
This being my first car purchase-- i'm not sure how the buying process works-- can you close on a deal and not pick up the car for a few days waiting for the insurance to come through?
will the dealership still be as anxious to get my business if i wont pick up the car until AFTER the end of the month (beginning of april)?
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
How many CR-V's does he have? Do you care what color you get? I think you'd have to wait until the dealer is pretty sure of the bonus from Honda before you can get any lower in April.
If I was in the market and ready to buy a CR-V right now, I'd pull the trigger at that price.
You have 30 days to get the new car info to them but I know I wouldn't wait that long!
any last minute advice??
Thanks
post your deal it will help the other forum members

I have bought exl awd for 26152.all inclusive.
Thanks brain for your nice advice.
glad to help........ Enjoy your CRV
What dealer did you end up buying from
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
I think the EX was the best deal but I bought the EX-L. I think the EX-L actual vehicle price was like $26.6K before any other stuff.
Happy hunting.
I bought from pohanka honda, capitol heights, MD(100 miles away from my place). They are very professional and straight forward. My price for honda CRV EXL AWD is 26156(OTD) (Tax 3.75 for DE, tags, destination charges and all other charges). Dealers here in DE give me quote of 26650 for the EX.
Thanks again for your help....
I believe I have done enough research to feel comfortable with this price. I don't feel like I am getting a bad deal but I am still nervous to pull the trigger. My wife and I are expecting our first child in May and need to find the best deal possible. Thanks in advance for the feedback.
My local dealer is offering me $29,050 for an EX-L with back-up censors, before taxes but including destination fee and all dealer fees. I'm in CT. How much further of a reduction should I be able to get? Should I back out the $530 back-up censors when comparing to what others are getting?
I am planning to buy a Honda CRV 2WD LX. I live in Southern California.
I got couple of quotes. But out of that the lowest one is $21,100 includes destination. Is this a good deal. on Truecar Factory Invoice Shows $22,243 includes destination and True Car estimated price of $21,400.
Appreciate your input
If you want to save a few dollars buy CRV at end of APRIL.
475 below invoice is not bad. dealership doc fee's are high in new jersey minus them off that 475. With little effort at months end your target price should be 500 below invoice after doc fee's were included into sale price..
Hamilton honda sold a friend on march 30th, 750 below invoice doc fee's were $249.
good luck

They do make the FWD and AWD. Are you talking to dealers and asking them if they have FWD? Getting your info from going to dealer internet sites is sometimes confusing and not always up to date. They want you to call so and then they want you to visit the dealership. Stick to calling.
2wd are hard to get on the East Coast . Very few if any on dealers lots.. Ask dealer if they will order you one. your paying dest/ charge so whats the difference if its shipped to the west coast or east coast.
Auto-sport, and planet honda have 2 fwd CRV's on there lots. many have none. The demand for the 2wd are low... dealers wont give you great pricing on these models. probably a take it or leave it attitude to buy one..
Its all about the $$$. with these dealerships..
