2013 and earlier-Honda CR-V Prices Paid and Buying Experience

metronyhonda

what is dealer processing fee?

gc4auto

anyone have any idea what I would get if I traded in my EX-L, it is loaded with fog lights, rear spoiler..moon roof wind guard...window wind guards, and body side moldings. I want to get a hybrid...how much do you think I can get for a trade in???

Sell it on edmunds? you'd probably get a better price. I just got my CR-V 2WD EX a few days ago. Put ~210 miles on it, at 80% highway 20% city im getting an average of 30.3 mpg.

They will usually also add a bogus processing fee of from $100 to more than $500 (the processing fee is pure profit for the car dealer that he doesn't have to pay any commission on to salespeople).

hi
has anyone tried to purchase 2008 cr-v yet?

how long do u think i will have to wait after they hit dealer lots to get decent discount?

trinity3

If so . . .

What have you paid for it?

What was the mileage?

Which model did you buy?

Was the vehicle Honda Certified?

Thank you.

The 2008 Honda CRV's,according to what a salesman at my local Honda dealership told me is that the dealers have already placed their orders and the 2008's are due to arrive at the dealerships sometime in NOVEMBER! As to getting a discount...I would not count on any discount for at least the first four to five months after their arrival. It's hard enough to get a discount on the 2007's!!! (although, now, a lot of the dealers are selling at invoice or a few hundred above invoice to clear their lots for the 2008's.

Can someone do the forum a favor and summarize the differences between a 2007 EX-L and a 2008? Based on my foggy memory of the 2007, added features on the 2008 seem to include:

- The power driver's seat
- Dual zone auto climate control
- 270-watt stereo now comes standard even without navi">

Anything else? :confuse: (besides cosmetics like additional chrome)

nabors,

Just received this internet quote from Livermore Honda. You would need to nail them down on the "tax, doc, lic" fees. I think the tax and lic fees should be pretty stable. Sometimes dealers play with the doc fee.

****************
The Vehicle is:2007 Honda CR-V EX-L 4wd
Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price: $26,595.00

Your Internet Price: $24,288.00* +tax, doc & lic fees
*The price above includes Destination Charge. Price is valid for 3 days

*This price is only guaranteed through the Internet Department. Please do not involve a salesperson.

Good luck.

Hello.

Today, I got a quote for 2007 LX 4WD.

The price was 22500.00 OTD(6.25 sales tax).

Is this reasonable price?

yakultspits

OK, thanks for confirming.

>But those three changes are $700.00 more.

Right - $700 is reasonable but not a bargain. Plus, we have to consider the fact that 08s will be discounted far less than 07s are nowadays.

License Plates $143.00 or Transfer $80.00

Would you mind providing us with further details of your purchase?

I intend to buy a FWD EX by the end of the month.

I have been looking at the local dealerships online inventory and noticed that most only have AWD models (few AWD LX; most are AWD EX and EX-L)

Is this because most people are buying AWD and that is what the dealers get, or because Honda is imposing the most expensive models once it is a hot selling car?

Hi, I am from the midwest too, which state and city are you from ? I am looking for the same vehicle too, so probably we could exchange info. thanks

brownie5

Opus345 are you from Nebraska? coz. I am, and would like to know if you got a better discount for the above model ??? I'm looking for a 2007 AWD/4WD EX-L (No Nav) and wondering if I can get a better price than you have mentioned.
PS: I'm new to the forum too.

brownie5

Hi, please mention if its a LX,EX,EXL etc,thanks.

isellhondas

Honda doesn't use the "AWD" term. We call them 4WD but that doesn't matter.

Where are you located? If you are in a northern climate, the 2WD models simply don't sell well at all. As a result, the dealers order very few, if any of these.

Nobody is "imposing" anything. We simply stock the cars most people want. a 2WD can be a real dog to sell.

Now, if you're in Arizona, that wold be adifferent story!

cmthov

Just completed a COSTCO buying service inquiry in the Northern, VA area. Authorized dealer is Brown's Honda in Arlington, VA. The dealership's program rep told me their basic prices for any EX-L were MSRP minus $1000.

crvexl4wd

I am planning to buy a Honda CR-V EX-L 4WD 2007/2008. Has anyone recently bought one in Portland, OR. Pls share the experience, deal details, any trade-ins and which dealership. Thanks.

mdtariq

I hv got a quote for 2007 EXL 4WD for $23,800.00

How the price looks? Can I go for that.

Any suggestions? :confuse:

brownie5

mdtariq , Are you sure it was a 2007 CRV EX-L 4WD ???? I am looking for the same trim,, which dealer did you get this from? please share, thank you.

isellhondas

If you can REALLY buy one for that, why are you asking the question?

I think someone is pulling your leg!

mdtariq

thanx isellhondas

i just need a suggestion whether the price is okay to go or not.

dittu

Can you please share the dealer information. I am also looking for the same. The price you have is the lowest I have seen.

zswx

Hi mdtarig,

Would you please share the dealer's information with me? s_zswx@yahoo.com. Thanks a lot!

Any suggestions? :confuse:

I paid 25k plus a $185 doc fee/tax/title/dmv for an EXL 4WD and I thought I got a great price so obviously you have an even better price...but I can't help but wonder - what is missing from your price??? cause even used 2007 crv's cost more then that.

crvexl4wd

That's a great deal or you can say Steal. Will you pls share the dealership name, address and city from where you got this quote as I am also looking the same car. Also share if any trade-in is incolved in this deal or no. If there is trade-in incolved, then details for that too. Thanks

quickreply

Hi, I'm in the Portland area and for an '07 CR-V EX-L, the best I've seen is about $25K. I've emailed about 10 dealers and that's the best Internet price I've got with NO trade in.

I'm tempted to just wait for the '08s if thats the most they'll discount for a year end '07.

crvexl4wd

Thanks for sharing info. I also want to wait for 2008 model now as that has some extra features. Any how which dealer was best to deal with and who offered the best price in Portland, OR area.

quickreply

Hey,

Since they were just INternet quotes, it's tough to say who's the easiest to work with, but the best price was from Jay Lee's Auto Group - Gladstone Honda I believe. $24,998. They were pretty quick to respond and have had some friendly follow-up since I initially e-mailed them.

2008 CRV EX-L AWD w/NAV
Price Quote via Joyce Honda, Denville, NJ:

$27,533 (including destination)
Plus tax, title, tags and applicable fees.

The 2008 models will be available in ~2 weeks.

ccacp

I was told that 2008 models will be available in November.

trinity3

I just emailed the dealer today for a price quote and he stated two weeks.

I know that the 2008 Accords are out already; I've seen them around . . .

godeacs

Same here - late Oct possibly per 1 of Texas' largest selling Honda dealer..... Yes, the Accords are out, on the lots this week - though mostly 4 cylinders here.

Just thought I'd toss this out there since i've gotten so much good info from these forums. I had been looking for a new CR-V and had procrastinated. Bay Area prices seemed to be hovering within a couple hundred of invoice. I happened to be talking with a local dealer (actually he kept dropping me a line seeing if I was still interested) and he offered me a 2007 EX-L AWD Tango Red CR-V for $24,600 which is about $170 under invoice. I was skeptical about it but he was totally straightforward. I went by today to see it, drove it and then bought it. No games, no hassle, easy purchase. I'm glad I procrastinated. Saved me hundreds of dollars.

I am trying to figure out what is a fair price for a 2007 EX AWD in Seattle.

Invoice (Edmunds.com): 22364
Destination fee: 595
Tax: 2162 (at 9.2% for a price of 23.5K)
Documentation fee: 50
Registration/Title fees: 200
Accessories (like mudguards, wheel locks etc - already on the vehicle, although I don't need it): (say) 300

Check to be written for: (25671 - DISCOUNT)

Some questions:
1) How much DISCOUNT can we get at this time of the year, given that the 2008 models are rolling in + a number of dealers have EXs still left over.
2) Is it fair to NOT pay for accessories, and ask those to be included in the discount ? Could we force the dealer to take them off the car (they always say NO) ?
3) Has anybody bought a similar configuration CRV recently ? What is the deal you got ? Which dealer in Seattle area ?
4) I have included a registration fee of 200$ (see breakup below). Is this accurate ? Why are some sites quoting 400$ for registration fees ?

Registration fee 43.75$ (for CRV weight of 3532 Pounds: http://www.dol.wa.gov/vehicleregistration/fees.html)
SubAgent Fee: 4$
RTA Tax: 70$ (using the calculator)
Local transportation benefit district fee: 30$
Emission testing: 15$
Misc: X
Total: 200

Thanks a lot. This forum is very insightful. I will post my experience once I make a purchase.

Regards
KitchenStand

We are considering purchasing an 2007 LX 4 WD in the Madison Wisconsin area and are looking at $500 over invoice. This doesn't seem like a great deal to me when the 2008s are on their way (early October). Can anybody relay the best deals they've gotten on this vehicle in the area recently? Thanks

lzh

Just curious if you bought this car or not. If so, which dealor did you go? Huntinton or Patchogue? How much did you get it? Thanks!

can you please share the dealer's info with me? s_zswx@yahoo.com. Thanks a lot!

Went during the past weekend to buy a 07 EX at a local dealer. All 2WD 07 EX were sold out but they have 08's available. Test drove it and felt no difference with the 07.

Price is $200 above invoice: $22,400+TTL. This includes wheel locks. I don't know why the dealer's invoice price is different (higher) than Edmund's though.

Also what I learned from all dealers I talked to is that EX is the most popular model and hard to bargain. A lot of them are willing to do $200 below invoice for LX or EX-L but only invoice for EX.

How much did the dealer say the invoice price was?

Can you share your information that which dealer you bought your "08 CRV EX 2WD" in LA area? I don't know the 08 model is already arrived.

Also can you detail the breakdown of your purchase price and OTD? Thanks.

wanted_crv

Hi,

I am researching prices for 07 CR-V EX-L 2WD w/o Navi in Dallas-Fortworth area. Can somebody who recently purchased share their price?

Also, If invoice is 23K+dest, where should I start my bargaining?

Thanks in advance.

stattenk

What dealer? I am now just starting to try to get serious and finalize a CR-V deal. I was wondering if it was too late for 2007 models (in glacier blue, red or maybe green) and I would have to wait a bit for a good selection of 2008 models to arrive.

Also were there any other fees beyond tax (what rate was the tax?), title/license (how much)

Thanks for any info.

yayay

Just FYI!

We just bought a CRV LX 4WD(silver) at OTD price 22k in MI.

Car: $20,563
Documentation fee: $180
other fee: $23
Tax: $1,234

Total OTD price paid: 22k.

bette608

Thanks much for letting me know this. Is it possible to let me know which dealer you purchased from in Milwaukee? You got a great price! Thanks again.

lambu

bette608
