For accessories, check out cheaphondaparts and handa-accessories for prices. The floormats and cargo tray are very simple to 'install'. The fog lights and molding are another matter. That will at least give you a price (not including labor) to negotiate from.
Good luck!

BTW one other dealer would have matched, another was trying, but I don't think would have gone as low, and another one, west of Atlanta, didn't have a clue (or thought he didn't have to deal as hard with a woman, I'm not sure).
Thanks again!
My Honda Dealer never mentioned the Honda Care Warranty either. Only the Dealer Warranty. I asked if they sold the Honda Care Warranty, and they said yes, but they did not give me a price.
I am not sure I even want an extended warranty, it's a tough decision.

Sure hope so!
Dealers aren't in this just for the fun you know!
FWIW, back in 12/28/07, Tim Pohanka of Pohanka Honda in Marlow Heights offered me $23,200 OTD for a 2WD CR-V EX, in the DC/VA/MD metro area. He had mistakenly thought that I was looking for a 2WD instead of 4WD EX even though all my emails clearly listed out that I was looking for a 4WD EX! :P
Not sure if you're still in the market but here in the DC metro area, 2WD CR-V's are fairly uncommon since most of the ones sold are EX and EX-L's in 4WD configuration.
Good luck!
Can't say enough good things about Honda Barn in North Reading, MA!
If anyone is in the market, definitely head over there...and soon. They are becoming Honda Gallery and moving the dealership. Not sure how things may change under new management.

45.00 dealer processing fee
29,613.50 total

I also paid $57.50, seperately for transferring my license plates from my old car.
I am on Long Island - purchased at Huntington honda
Also, definitely download this worksheet. It was extremely valuable. Honda barn was the only dealership where I could get the quoted numbers (cap cost, fees, mf, residual) to reconcile to the spreadsheet calculations. Happy hunting!
Thanks
-total was 26,501 -- Buuut I got 10, 400 from the accord (private sale)-- so the real dif was 16,101 out of pocket for the "WIFE's new CRV!!
* cap cost - 20800 ( 205 below invoice)
* doc fee - $125
* residual - 63%
* MF - .000235
* monthly pay = $279.
* OTD = 1414 ($600 acq fee, first month, 300 security, doc fee, Tax,title,license)
Check out that spreadsheet in my previous post. I had all sorts of dealers giving me bogus numbers. The spreadsheet doesn't lie though. Another thing, this "come on in and we'll figure it out" stuff didn't cut it with me either. I know about the "make em sit and squeeze" games that go on, and I have no patience for that. I held to my guns that I wanted all the details ironed out before I drove out there to finalize the paperwork. Much harder to do than you would think.
Also, I did have one dealer do the old bait and switch on me. Gave me an unbelievable quote over the phone. When I showed up to finalize the deal, the vehicle in quesiton was sold, and they wanted to sell me a different one (with different terms).
Any help would be appeciated...
thanks
Destination Charge ($635 I think)
Doc Fees
Assorted B.S. Dealer Fees
Title
Tax
I asked several area dealers to give me a quote, and the base price is always great but the fees vary by hundreds of dollars.
I have been reading this board and tried hard to negotiate a good deal here in the VA/DC/MD area. I finally ended up going to the lowest Out-the-door price I could get..Ourisman Honda in Bethesda. I paid a total of 26,595 out the door. Is that a decent price or did i get totally robbed? Thanks!
I don't know what the sales tax is in that area, but here in GA I would be thrilled with that price OTD. That is about $250 less than my lowest quote on a 2WD EX-L.
I purchased Black on Black CR-V for $29,100 OTD here in Bay Area (Northern California). We pay sales tax of 8.25%. Generally things are relatively expensive here. Everybody says I got a nice deal.
Thanks for your help!

What I found is that the sales guys aren't very good with the finance stuff. Put it this way, I was given more misinformation that accurate information. You need to speak to the finance department, or the sales manager to accurately get that information. But if you are still clueless, you need to do more reading. You don't want to initiate those types of discussions unless you know what is going on. That spreadsheet I posted helped me a lot. You should check it out and play with the numbers to see how it works. I had several dealers tell me that I needed a "financial calculator" and that stuff wasn't important. LOL
I put down a deposit for the CRV and they had already told me that they do not have th car in the lot and but were confident they would have it by today.. (they needed to make some deals with other dealerships to swap the color we wanted)
I called today, and they said they are trying their best to get the car into their lot.. they had already made one deal to get a car for another dealer .. blah blah.. i guess they are having a tough time with the color.. We want a black on black EX-L with Nav
I had checked other dealer inventories around the area and it looks like they are not RARe.. so whats going on?
is this something anyone else here has run into?
thanks in advance

No Trades
Car price included wheel locks, splash guards, and clear door edge guards installed. No extended warranty or GAP insurance purchased. I got 4.74% APR with 0 down for 60 mos. thru American Honda. I think I could've done slightly better on the price but was in a bit of a time crunch to get the car by the weekend.
