I am looking for deals on CRV LX and EX in the Greater Boston and Southern Maine area. Please let me know if you come-across/find any as such. Is it wise to buy CRV LX with all safety features involved or it's better to go directly with the EX model which seems to have all the safety features in it. Also would like to know your suggestions on the Honda sensing feature and how much cost it adds onto.
I received a quote for EXL 2wd version 27,950. Dealer says will beat my lowest by $500. My lowest is 27,023. IS this even possible? Negotiating price to get best lease deal. Should we just jump on this deal?

So your quote is just average. $25,600 would be a good deal - that's $2,000 below invoice and is doable in some parts of the country. Kind of depends on your area and the inventory in your area.
Oh ok its $2000 below invoice is the target to aim for. Thought it was $2,000 MSRP. Ok more work to do. NY area is showing TMV $27,243.
Same advice as that for @deckartt - kind of a pain to skim through them but those posts by @brian125 are golden, especially for the best dealers in your area. I keep forgetting to bookmark the gems.
Congrats @rpm2008! This calls for a round of brats! Do they still put woks on BBQs up there? Always made for easy potlucks the few months we lived in Madison back in '84 and had people over.

Great price. The lowest I've been able to push down is at 26,800 OTD. They did say they were throwing splash guards, pinstriping, and cargo tray. This was in Baltimore. I am also trading in 2009 crv.
Finally purchased CRV FWD SE 2016 at $23,446 out of door ($21,700 sale price) at DFW, TX. Also got 0.9% Honda financing for 24 months. It also includes cargo tray, wheel locks, splash guards, front window tint and paint sealant.
Hi everybody, Can someone help to tell me how to solve this issue please. I got CRV EX FWD yesterday from a dealer in CA. They told me there were some water spots in the hood. I got the car late in the evening so didn't see the issue until this morning under the sun. I saw many mini scratches on the hood. Is there a damage when doing a wax on the car paint? Does the scratches go away later? what can I ask the dealer to handle this? Can Honda step in to help me at this case? or what is a best way to handle this. Please help. Thanks.
Contact the dealership asap. They care about the survey so they should try to help you if it's as simple as polishing / detailing that portion for you.

Hi Everyone. We are looking at a 2016 Honda crv touring 2wd/FWD model. Quoted 28,990 which looks like this broken down. Inv 31138.50 minus HB 638.00, minus factory 750.00, 750.00 (couldn't read desc. of this discount) = 28990 with included 250 for accessories. Doc fee 80.00 govt fee 328.75, taxes 2487.02 (8.5%), Zurich or Total aftmrkt 189.00 So out the door 32,074.77 Original msrp 32825.00. Sacramento region 95816 Anything else we can ask for? sales guy seemed like that is his final deal. nothing more than extra 250 towards accessories.
Hi everyone，I received a quote for 2016 CRV EXL AWD, sale price $26570 (include the 900 destination charge), doc fee 299, oh tax 1880, license fee 90, so the OTD price is $28839, l am in Cincinnati oh, is this a good price?
Hi @stever and @kyfdx, Thanks for your help. I did ended up purchasing the CRV EX AWD from a Cincinnati dealer (had to take a day trip but much cheaper than ones in Columbus).
I did saw that a few posts back a dealer was offering 7yr/ 80k miles extended warranty for around $900. The dealer I bought from was trying to sell me the same package for over $2000. Glad I do all my research and declined it soon after their financial guy tried to push it. I couldn't understand how dealers can sell manufacturer extended warranty for different pricing.
Also, I'm very thankful for knowing this forum. I feel like we are making the dealer earn reasonable amount out of us (reasonable or not is of course subjective). Sure, dealers sell cars for living, but when a dealer can earn 2x profit out of one customer compared to the other, then I call it rip off. I wish the car pricing can be more transparent like many other things and make purchasing easier.
I could use a little quick advise. I've been out driving SUV's the last weeks, and I've driven most of them. I find the Pilot a bit too large for my wife and I, although I'd love to have one - but the 2016 CRV is a good size, better gas mileage, has enough storage, .... so today I got a quote on a 2016 CRV EXL-with Nav. I know the 2017's will be out in the next months, and I could wait, but don't want to pass up a deal on a 2016 if it's decent.
Vehicle price: $32,145 Savings: $2816 Actual Price: $29,329 Clear Nose Mask: $399 (this has got to be a rip off!) Window tint: no charge Vehicle selling price: $29728 Tax: $2599.52 Tag/Registration: $27.20 (Colorado) Dealer Handling fee: $499 Balance due: $32,853.72
I ask the dealer, if I pay cash today, can I get it for $32,000 out the door - and he nodded "yes" but would not totally commit - so maybe $32,100 or so, but I'd hold firm at $32K out the door.
I hope the knowledgeable people in the forum that 'know' a good deal can respond and share your knowledge with me.
Hey Steve, thanks for the comments. I suppose I'd like to shoot for $1500 lower than invoice but not sure that will happen. The other question is when do the 2017 models come out and will there be better deals near the end of the year? Hope others can chime in as the night goes on but I know your knowledge is good in this forum. Sc
Only issue with waiting is that the inventory will shrink. But you knew that. Sometimes the leftover prices get stuck at year end, not sure why unless there's some bonus money dealers get and they lose their motivation to blow the last ones out. Happened to my sister and she still bit and paid too much for a leftover Subaru.
Hi @mar_radnus. Invoice is $24,420, so your quote is about $1,300 below invoice.
The TMV average price paid is $23,654. So looking at the average, your quote is okay - not as good as some, but not too shabby either. And the doc fee is okay.
If you have time and energy, you may want to shop the quote around and see if you can get closer to $24,000 OTD.
All you guys looking to buy and are willing to travel to NJ . I'm going to list NJ dealers who I will put on the top of my list and I use also .
Certain months , Time of the year, some of these dealers will do better than the rest . That's WHY YOU NEED TO CONTACT , EMAIL, Call , ................. EACH ONE.
Auto-Sport.............My #1 Garden state .........My #2 Madison DCH Paramus Clinton Route23 Honda Joyce Coast
Dch Old- bridge and KAY are good dealers with service pricing not as good as above mentioned
Don't forget to ask each dealers there doc fee charge ? Compensate that charge into your target price when buying.
Most NJ Honda dealers doc fee's range from $299 to 399
Dealer fee is high in Florida. It is $699 but I aimed for $25,000 OTD or as close as I could get for the EX FWD. I ended up with a selling price of $23,000 plus fees and tax.
Stever, I read that article. The selling price of $23K is about $2,400 below factory invoice but with the dealer fee is is probably $2,000 below. I just saw some posts with $200 dealer fees. I tried to compare the OTD deals but seems most of the recent posts are for AWD and EX L.
Dealer just called, 8pm at night! $32k OTD, EXL with Nav, AWD. I have looked at some YouTube videos showing the Nav does not work right. Not sure I like the satellite Nav. I noticed today, test driving, the Nav did not show many street names. Went to get the dealer tech guy - he had no idea. I'd check YouTube for the Honda satellite defective Nav system before you buy - just to make sure you are an informed buyer. I'm going to go sit in the CRV TOMORROW AND PLAY WITH THE COMPLETE SYSTEM, before I buy.

So far quoted $26,800 including all tax and fees.
think I can do better?

1. Selling price: $27,100
2. Dealer fee: $195
3. DMV fee: $99
4. Honda Care 7yr/80K $100ded policy: $745
Had 2 other offers at $27,077 and $26,900. One pulled their offer on Saturday from me. Other one wanted more for Honda Care.
Sales price- 26,930
OTD- 28,747 (those monsters charged a $599 admin fee!)
So $2,000 below invoice, a great price for a "smaller" market.
The poor dealer would have been forced to eat "poverty lobster" all winter except for the profit they made on the doc fee.
Sales Price: 24025.53

The True Market Value average price paid is $30,032. That's with the $900 destination but no fees or whatnot.
So your selling price is $1,000 below TMV (and $2,100 below invoice).
Looking good from here. Your salesperson is probably tired of getting yelled at going to the "tower" for another $200 bucks off.
Enjoy!
Thanks
Invoice is $28,819, including destination. TMV is a couple of hundred dollars less.
So your are doing well, about $2,200 below invoice.
Maybe @kyfdx can fill me in but I thought doc fees were capped in Ohio at $250.
Enjoy the new ride!
Thanks for your help. I did ended up purchasing the CRV EX AWD from a Cincinnati dealer (had to take a day trip but much cheaper than ones in Columbus).

I will be checking back often to see comments.
Invoice on that one is $30,223 and TMV is $29,580 (Denver zip).
So, selling price of $29,400, throw in tax of around $2,600 and you're at $32,000.
My gut wonders if you can go lower since that selling price number is "only" about $800 below invoice. Or maybe I'm missing something....
Anyone?
I got the following quote from a dealer near Philly area..
Sale Price 23,094
Doc fee 135
Taxes 1385
License and fees 160
--------------------------------
Total cash price 24,775 OTD
and no extras...
Please let me know if this is a good price to pay ?

When I look at inventory around Philadelphia, I see over 200 LX's in stock.
Keep us posted on how it goes, and good luck!
I'm going to echo @stever above post with pricing.
Knock off another 500 dollars off that quote and tell my below recommended dealers... You buy tomm. for $22,590.
Call, email, visit below dealers you should be able to save a few more dollars in Philly.
Try.................. Keenan , Scott, Lehigh, Burns Honda in addition to your targeted dealers.
Martin Honda in DE, ( Newark )
Be carefull with Hamilton Honda in NJ. They add 100's of dollars worth of accessories on there vehicles.
Hamilton's doc fee is 300 to 400 dollars
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
Certain months , Time of the year, some of these dealers will do better than the rest . That's WHY YOU NEED TO CONTACT , EMAIL, Call , ................. EACH ONE.
Auto-Sport.............My #1
Garden state .........My #2
Madison
DCH Paramus
Clinton
Route23 Honda
Joyce
Coast
Dch Old- bridge and KAY are good dealers with service pricing not as good as above mentioned
Don't forget to ask each dealers there doc fee charge ? Compensate that charge into your target price when buying.
Most NJ Honda dealers doc fee's range from $299 to 399
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
And yeah, negotiating OTD is the easier way to keep your blood pressure under control when shopping, both for doc fees and dealer add-on packages.
Any good dealerships you recommend?
