Send out 20 emails to dealerships Internet mgrs, telling each one i will buy today for invoice price. wait til the end of the month for dealerships to meet your target price. There is no reason to step into any dealership until you get your target price. This is how you play the game.

Contact dealers via the internet and ask for pricing. Select the dealer or dealers you feel most comfortable and counter with your price. Move up from your price not down. Presto, a good deal is found.
Buying a vehicle for a fair price is easy. Do your research and be open and honest with the sales person. The sales person will respect you, will be happy, and will make sure the paperwork and delivery is smooth.
Always, always remember you as the buyer control the deal. You can always walk which is the ultimate control. And the dealer knows if you get up to leave he has essentially lost the sale. That is a powerful tool for we buyers.
But recognize, for legal purposes, the dealer will have to show the fee on the contact. Just make sure the selling price or trade value has been adjusted to compensate for the fee.
It is truly hard to understand why anyone in Florida would pay $1,000 or so for these fees. I imagine dealers in other states are working hard to duplicate these unethical fees in their states.
Is that a good price? How much less can I bargain?
THanks
Interestingly August has better pricing than now, $ 1000 difference.
if you look at inventory there are not many CRV's available hence dealers are holding to their prices.
one more interesting point, I got a call from one valley dealer and said flex cash and conquest discount both are available for 2013 models in September as well,
However Right Honda said they only have flex cash no conquest discount, not quite sure how far is that correct.
bottom line is if you get $$$ of Invoice and there are no dealer installed options is good to go for Phoenix market .
hope this helps.
There are very detailed posts by Brian124 and some others what is right price for, take that work and adjust for local demand/supply factor.
you may not get the best price posted in this forum because your local market is kind of unique and demand/supply factors at least you know who are offering better price
So, the OTD is 29349?
If so, I think it is a good deal.
Still good deal or not so much anymore? Thank you.
however if you decide to go with 2014, here is what I would like to say.
offer Invoice price, per Costco pricing 2014 models are $ 525 more on Invoicing if you can get Invoice price then it is a very good price, also watch out dealer installed options in most cases those will add up quickly dealer makes most out of them.
also look at OTD price, one thing I have learned is do not offer them OTD price, tackle each item independently for example window tint many dealers charge $ 400 for it, you can argue them it can be done for $ 100 so they need to cut down that price.
you can always walk out if you did not get your price but you need to work with them to get your price
I am going to dealership this weekend will post my experience.
all the best for your purchase
I live in Dallas Metroplex, Texas.
Thanks
from the new car. What is the selling price of the new car?
The kbb value for privite party for your car is over $8000, trade in for
a very good condition is $6698. Assuming modestly that your car should be worth
$5500, you are getting a decent deal (29500 otd), but if it is worth 6500
then it is not that good (I am assuming awd, if it is fwd then it is even less attractive). Keep in mind that some people on this forum got 2014 ex-l awd
for about 26900 plus fees and tax.
Breakdown is: $22,384 for the CR-V, $185 Doc/CVR fees, $1,410.56 Sales Tax, and $190 for new plates. (We are giving our old car to our grad school daughter to get her through.)
Had three dealers I was in touch with, but really did not have to negotiate like I usually would. Someone wanted to sell a Honda, and I was willing to buy at that price. I really don't think they would have gone even $20 lower....
This forum was a lot of help in understanding what to try for, and recognizing when we had a had what I believe is a good deal. Good luck on your deal!
this is for fwd.
2014 EX AWD
$23,349 Vehicle
$830 destination
$229 Doc fees+electronic registration fee+tire recycling fee
$1612.74 Taxes+Tags+Registration
$26,020.74 Total
Price included nitrogen tires, mud flaps, wheel locks and cargo tray thrown in. Was a very competitive latter part of the week. Had several dealers willing to meet this price, picked the one closest to home that I get my Civic maintained at and closed the deal.
Went in looking for a 2013 because I thought I could get better value. Started getting quotes on the 2014s as dealers said they were out of 2013s and then the quotes started dropping later on in the week. I bet I could have gotten a better deal if I had waited until Sunday, but no kids + the right color combo made it easier to do today.
the best quote I am getting for 2013 AWD LX is 24 500 OTD

if you are posting a price you must include selling price with dest charge and dealers doc fee's charge for me to comment. Total otd pricing like dmv and state taxes dont help me with your deal. Every state has a diff/ tax rate so otd pricing vary's from state to state.

price includes Window Tint($399) + protection package (splashguards etc.,$699)+Rear spoiler ($599).
Not quite sure is this the best price but that is the best I could get in here.
We came out today with a nice vehicle and no surprises!
"We are picking up a new 2014 LX tomorrow morning. Total out the door- $24,175.56. No trade, no financing. I think that is actual invoice price, and I got them to throw in a set of dealer-installed splash/mud guards (big whoop...).
Breakdown is: $22,384 for the CR-V, $185 Doc/CVR fees, $1,410.56 Sales Tax, and $190 for new plates. (We are giving our old car to our grad school daughter to get her through.)

so tax will be on 23,000 + 7% or 23,830 + 7%?
I am here in NJ. 07040
Vehicle selling price, plus dest charge= 23,830 then add your states tax and dmv charge for the OTD pricing. Dealer will also add his doc fee charge to the otd price.
Its always best when negotiating prices with dealers to include dest/charge into your asking price so there is no confusion at the end of the deal. Alot of times folks that dont buy new cars dealers realize this and give them a great price then when closing deal they have a 830 fee that makes deal not so good know.. Be mindful of this......

I got OTD 23,800,
I think it is a good price here in Texas
Thanks for all your advices.
Do you think these are good deals? Which do you think would be a better deal 2013 or 2014 ?
Thanks for your thoughts
Thanks
Mine was around $500 under the invoce (slghtly less than than the 2% holdback they would be getting from the manufacturer should I make the purchase). Obvioudly, they will be getting some other incentives from Honda later on...
Thanks
Get some competition going. Include anyone within a reasonable distance to get offers and try to aim for the end of the month when they need to make a deal. I started looking for 13's and got better offers on 14's.
Now that I got an OK price for CR-V I am also looking into RAV4 since I heard some reliability issues with CR-V particularly their A/C system. Anyone is deciding between CR-V and RAV4? let me know what you think.
Thanks
