I am trying to calculate the real invoice price for the LX 4wd and EXL 4wd no Nav. Does anyone know how much the hold back price? I think the manufactory gives dealer 2% when they sell the car right? Thanks!
I have received the OTD of LX for $23500 and OTD for EXL $28300. both of them 4wd, in NJ, 7% tax. Doc fee $193 from one dealer. It still seems high to me.
Can you please send via e-mail this Mass discount club info. I'm in the Boston area and currently in the market for a brand new CR-V.
Thank you tsrose
CRV's aren't distressed merchandise.
Not all cars have to be cheap sold.
I think I got a good deal for 26650/ + TTL for the above vehicle. The price included wheel locks and roof rack.
Any comments?
Thanks
Try Honda dealers in Riverside, CA area. They are way more courteous than the LA city ones.
Penske Honda.....
The price I've been quoted by 3 dealerships is $21,195 (MSRP + $595 destination fee) EXCLUDING "dealer installed accessories". The drive out price would be $22,754.96 (inc. TT&L, documentary fee, inspection fee, full deputy fee and dealer inventory fee). A salesman I met at a dealership has agreed to honor that price. I was hoping to get the car for at least the MSRP of $20,600, but the status quo reply seems to be that CR-V's are very in demand so they aren't being discounted. So I have a few questions-
1)How could I negotiate the price down? I'm not experienced with this and don't have anyone else who is. It seems like others are able to get a much lower price.
2) Do all the fees they told me seem legitimate?
3) Is this a good price for the LX?
4) They told me $395 for the console inc. installation- does that sound good? I know the console is dealer installed, but are fog lights dealer or factory installed? I just want to know of those are already included in the price I was quoted.
:confuse:
This is a really big expense for me so it's scary, but I really need a new car before mine goes kaput and I want something that will last me a long time. Thanks!
After getting quotes since April, we finally just purchased a tango red LX 2WD for $21,839 OTD from Twin City Honda in Port Arthur. The Internet sales manager is great. He was very straighforward and did not try and play any games with us, and that is why we purchased from him. Others have had success with Baytown Honda, but they never had the CR-V in red. I can send you an email here at carspace if you want the name of the sales manager.
Also, we did not pay a full deputy fee. I've never heard of that one. You should pay:
state sales tax
Texas vehicle inventory tax
license fee
state inspection
title
doc fee, which is usually only $50 in the Houston area (you may be able to get them to drop this one if you agree to handle the paperwork yourself)

Good luck!
MSRP/INVOICE
Davis: $23445/$22158
Stockton: $23445/$22058
Sacramento: $23445/$22021
Elk Grove: $23445/$22058
Roseville: $23445/$22094
Fairfield: $23445/$22015
**Tax, Title, License not included. add about 10%
The Elk Grove Dealer said he would beat any price I got.
I have researched MSRP and invoice, and I am also hearing the rhetoric from dealers that the cars are in "high demand" and people are paying MSRP. Yeah, right!
I read a website that said a smart strategy is to offer 5% over invoice so the dealer makes somewhat of a profit. That still seems like too much to me, since the dealer gets a kick-back from Honda for each sale. I'm interested in either an EX or EX-L 2WD. It's hard to justify $2,000 extra for the leather, though.
Any negotiating tips will be much appreciated. I've been getting vague form-letter e-mails from dealers in response to my quote requests, and the one dealer I visited was bluffing at MSRP. I walked. Oh, the game of buying a car! And does anyone have scoop on the '08 CRV? Should I buy now or wait until Sept.?
THANKS fellow CRV consumers!

It's highly unlikely we will see California type prices (i.e. invoice) here in Texas anytime soon. You may want to follow up with 95ags because their selling price works out to roughly 20,300.
good luck

Anyone have any idea why this is?. I don't read here a lot of great "invoice deals" elsewhere in the country either!. We live in California as well, bought our CRV EXL way back in December '06 & paid $400 above invoice at the time when they were really "hot". And I didn't have to work hard to get it!!. After reading these few last posts on this subject, I went around to a few Honda dealers (3) to inquire & they all seemed "ready & willing" to sell at invoice!!... :confuse:
Alas, as Alamocity points out, there's a very low supply of CR-V's on dealer lots - at least in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. As long as buyer's keep snatching them up right away, there isn't a reason for Honda dealers in the D/FW area to lower their prices much off of MSRP.
Alamocity also points out that location and competition are key factors. California is the place to be to get CR-V's at invoice. And it seems like the VA/DC/MD area is the place to be to get a great deal on an Accord. One buyer reported paying $3000 below dealer invoice!
The best deals going on in TX - in my opinion - are the Hyundai Santa Fe and Sonata. Not only can we get them slightly below dealer invoice but we also have an additional discount if use Hyundai's balloon financing. As an example, I could have purchased a Santa FE V-6 Limited with leather and sunroof for a little less than a CR-V 2-wd EX cloth. The offer was very tempting.
Most out-of-state buyers in CA, have their cars shipped to them or have the dealer deliver the car over the state line.
I doubt you could save enough on a CR-V to make either of those choices palatable..

and it probably was a good deal for your area. That's the main point with new CRV's and pricing right now. In some areas, you get a killer deal and in others, not so much. But that's the newness of the CRV. Soon, the prices will begin to drop.
When I got mine in March, you could not see another one on the road. Now I see bunches of them and it's only 3 mos later. Guess they saw mine huh :shades: I don't however see very many with nav systems yet.
Feels like a decent price.
This is just an update incase anyone's looking in SC area. Mike Patton of LeGrange GA is still honoring the OTD price for EX 2wd of $22,521 (excluding SC tax of $300). I got a local dealership here in Columbia (Midland's Honda)to meet that price!!!! I'm going today to hopefully sign papers. Will keep updated.
final price = $22900+279+150+ 22900x5% = $24474?
If it's 24474 for LX 4wd... this is very expensive. :sick:
The OTD of 23300 that I had was the final price, which included everything.
I am planning to wait until the 08 model comes out and buy the 07 model. Maybe it'll be cheaper? :confuse:
I followed the strategies; emailed, offered and negotiated the dealer said I offered too low. They said if I didn’t buy it, somebody else came in next day would buy it for they price they wanted to sell. Then I walked out, and nothing happened. They didn’t try to sell the car to me in a low price because they could make money of it from other people quickly.
If the CRV was not the 1st year model, we could use those strategies to get a good price. At this point, I guess maybe wait for a few months. The price is going to get better maybe slowly. The price will not rise. That’s for sure. Btw, I am in NJ. So envy those people in CA. invoice price is acceptable for me
MA sales tax is inevitable. Is there room in
the doc fees? I don't know. Also thinking
about waiting 'til '08 and buying leftover.
Thanks. :shades:
I'd love to wait awhile to buy a CRV, unfortunately my car (Saturn sedan) is 11 years old and though tt's been a very reliable car, I don't know how much longer it's going to last- at least without having it serviced and I don't want to put a bunch of money into it.
Someone mentioned waiting for '08 models (I've seen a couple people mention that) to get an '07, but I asked if any changes were being made for '08 and they told me no since they don't change body styles for a few years and that it'd be exactly the same- but I wouldn't be shocked if they lied to get me to buy now. I haven't read anything official about "'08 models" though; anyone know the real deal?
Wanted this forum's opinion on an offer.

Any thoughts? I figure tax+licensing is about 9% here which equates to ~$2000 therefore the asking price is about ~$23000. Let me know if you know if anyone else who got a sweeter deal within the Southern Cal area. Thanks.
Now I understand they can really stick it to you with all the fees. What should I know about all the fees they can legally charge me? And of these fees what $ amount can they charge me and what is negotiatable.
state sales tax
title
license fee
state inspection
doc fee (only $50 in my area- you may be able to get them to drop this one if you agree to handle the paperwork yourself)
some states charge an inventory tax (I think it is also negotiable)
You do not have to pay fees like:
VIN etching
dealer prep (or just about anything that says dealer in front of it)
advertising fees
port fees
If you call your tax office and give them the selling price, then they will tell you how much you should pay for ttl.
