Ridiculous. Despite my very specific e-mail, it seems they disregarded it completely. This is what they said:
2015 Honda CR-V EX 2wd
Your Internet Price $25,625.00
Full Size Running Boards $759.00 (installed)
License & Reg Fee $451.91
Doc Fee $409.00
Sales Tax $2,137.10
Out The Door $29,382.01
This price includes window tint, splash guards & destination.
Did they even look at my e-mail? I said the ONLY accessories I wanted was the running boards and no additional accessories. Plus their special "Internet price" is over MSRP.
How would you respond to this e-mail @brian125 and @stever? I was thinking of just saying a very nice "You will only get my business for x and x and x. My offer stands until the end of the month." and then leave my contact information. Sound okay?
Negotiate with dealers who listen to what your writing and want to earn your business. Why would you respond to that email. I would not. At some point you need to call the Internet managers or his/ her staff and negotiate a final price with the dealerships that want to earn your business. Tomorrow resend the same email to that dealership ( Arrowhead ). But before you do that call ahead and ask the receptionist / phone person for the int/ mgr. email and direct phone number. Then send it directly to him again.
This is why I like to pick up the phone and talk to each dealerships internet manager. One on one just like if I was standing in that store telling mgr. I buy this minute and will hold with a credit card deposit. I'm not shopping any prices around meet my price or Counter my offer............. that's how this game works. Your offering them the sale. Is that mgr going to step up to the plate and take a swing at trying to earn your business or is he/ she not ready for prime time.
Example phone call is the same as your email. You do not hang up until mgr tells you Yes or No for the sale that moment. Oh you cant do X price then how close will your dealership come to my offer. Then once you get that dealerships bottom line tell mgr. I will consider it if I cant get my xxx offer today. leave your number just in case they change there mind.

when Int/ mgr. calls back .
Hi mike ( int/ mgr. ) I want a Crv exl with only one added accessory running boards I will buy said vehicle today for x price and running boards at invoice price . I'm willing to pay your dealerships installation costs. I will leave you a deposit with my credit card if we could agree right NOW. negotiate and get this dealer to commit to a price then move on if it does not work out pricewise. You should have a idea of a high and low target price in your area.
Go down the line in the same fashion. with each dealership. the dealers that sell cars and don't play games will make a bid to earn your business. remember there is a immediate sale pending.
If you email 14 dealerships .... 2 wont reply, 1 may send out a different email, 2 may say come in, 2 may play pricing games..
The rest that send prices or answer you are the dealers you work with for the immediate sale. You could always walk into the dealerships if all else fails. Some dealerships have bad internet dept. like Arrowhead. But a lot are good and know what time it is.
Negotiate from the comfort of your own home. By spanning a larger area from your house will help you make the best possible deal . Monday and Tuesday are the 2 best days for internet/ phone buying.
Use the ending 1st sales quarter to your advantage. Get as many dealerships involved in the price wars as far as your willing to travel. Pitting one dealer against the next for your business.

Still haven't heard back from the other dealers. I figure they're all out on the floor considering it's a Saturday. If I don't hear anything by tomorrow morning at lunchtime, I'll resend and then call. Sunday and Monday are my go-days since Tuesday I am already preoccupied.
Thanks for the continued help, gents!
Note: Most dealers here have a lot of inventory in stock on CRV's.
On the topic of the CRV's vibration issues, should I include in my email blasts a line that says something like "I will do a thorough test drive of the specific CRV I'll be buying. I will not accept one with vibration issues."
I know Honda of Staten island is open on Sunday but not sure how great they are
On the other hand, my water heater recently went out to the tune of $1200, so I'd probably try to bring that up in the money conversation.
then out of nowhere one of the dealers e-mailed me and told me he had a loaded touring i was looking for and offered me the following:

i don't want to pay 39, and told him i will pay 37 and come in today and he hasnt bit. any lingo or angle i can play to pick this bad boy up? like maybe mentioning accessories at invoice price?
what do you guys think?
SI Honda is not the greatest dealer. Trust me. I leave close to that dealership and asked them to match or beat a price on 100 Honda's over the years.... they baulked at every one.
Finally the manager gave into me when I bought my 2013 EXL V-6 model FEb,28th of that year.
If you cant agree on a price via emails or phone calls DO NOT Make a special trip to this dealership. Not worth your time.

Just called SI Honda and salesman was very rude over the phone
I just saved a trip

Supply and demand are killing me!
Are those accessories you actually WANT or all they already installed on the CRV?
Most of those accessories are pretty worthless so I'm thinking they might have tarted up that CRV to show off
the accessories. The store I worked at did that a few times and those cars usually were very difficult to sell.
" Ultimate Corrosion Package" for 2000.00 ??? Give me a break!
i feel i have the upper hand in the situation as i have another dealership that is giving their touring away at 35 flat otd with remote start and back up sensors.
Just tell them that you see zero value in most of those accessories some of which I've never even heard of.
Illuminated door sill trim for 465.00???
@realdeall..... if you are looking to buy this model with accessories I will give you a good target price with the right price breakdown.
Your numbers are way off.... you have no clue what price to ask for on this vehicle. How did you come up with your price???
If you cant steal this vehicle it is not worth it. what city is this deal in ?

Looks like all the dealers are having a good sale and they are not willing to go down
I followed Brian's approach and emailed around 8 dealers with my offer price of $29500
Got reply from 4 that they cant honor this price and did not give me their best price on phone but insisted I come to visit
I went to visit and the best price was $30500
Looks like in NJ, dealers don't worry much about these sales

1300 below invoice is not a terrible price to buy at the end of the day. Make your best deal with your targeted dealerships by tomorrow. Use the last day of this month to get the best price possible then buy .
Try to negotiate with dealers that have your model on there lot.
Post your deal tomorrow.....................good luck

Thank you a million times to @brian125 and @stever for showing me the power of having knowledge and research by your side. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

enjoy your new crv

once again thanks a lot for your information and help
Sometimes walking out and regrouping is the best plan (that's my modus operandi, which is why it's been 15 years since I bit on a new car
Please take a few minutes and write up a dealer review or two - at least one for the "green caps special". Thanks!
