I contacted Gunn Honda in San Antonio as you recommended and they offerred:
09 EX $21,998+TTL.
I have contacted Gillman as well and waiting to see what they say.
I bought my car at Gillman Honda of Houston.
First When I went there the sales manager offered to sell the car at Edmunds TMV price which was al round competitive but then a week later reduced like 500 more of the total cost.
1st quote was 21808 out of door
2nd was 21300 out of door
I got it for 21200 out of the door.
Round Rock Honda - $22,225+TTL
Gunn Honda - $21,995+TTL
Hope it works out well for you.....

Seems like a good price and beat any of the internet quotes, which ranged from $28,100 to $29,300 out-the door.
I want that same car. Can I get the name and number of your broker? I too live in Cal.
I think you got a great price.
Thanks, Matt
Thank you.
The broker I used is CLINTON LEASING AND SALES located in SACRAMENTO, CA. According to the rules in this thread I'm not able to provide names, numbers or other contact information. However, if you do an Internet search, you should should be able to locate it. They've been in business since 1979 and a small family company (2 or 3 people work there). I told them the Internet quotes that I had received and they were able to find a better price. Not sure if that happens on all purchases; however, not having to deal with the dealer BS and completing the deal in about 30 minutes was well worth it to me. Good luck!
Westside Honda Knoxville TN on Feb 28, a cold and wet evening.
Sent out 20 other inquiries via Edmunds quick quote to dealerships within 350 mile radius (created a spreadsheet for replies)...specific vehicle wanted, low double digit miles, no trade in, want to close deal within one week, have financing but pls quote APR for best credit score.
Gave some dealerships the opportunity to clarify/detail their quote, and all were given a 'last chance before I walk'.
Other than Westside, best/final offers came from most dealerships in GA, and one in Mobile AL...in the 23,200 to 23,400 range (total cost before tax/tag), depending on + - splash guards or pin stripes. Dealerships refused to move from this price range.
Also contacted my previous home town in northern OH, where the price was initially as in ATL, but last call reduced to 22,900 w/splash guards.
All this was done via email.
I called 3 or 4 dealers in the general ATL area to give them a chance to come close to Knoxville TN, before making the drive. None could/would come close, with a few calling me late, in TN, apparently assuming I wasn't making the drive.
Called Westside in Knoxville TN to ensure the numbers were as quoted, and to let them know to prep the vehicle. The deal was closed pleasantly and w/o any surprises. In addition, Westside replaced my 4.79% 5 yr credit union financing with a 4.3% APR from Bank of America. They also had no problem taking a quick look at my old vehicle, making me a trade in offer (although this was - as expected - too low).
Why the price was lower than others??? To those who are looking in ATL GA area...23,000 to 23,300 for a CRV EXL 2 WD is apparently the going price, depending on accessories. $500 incentive still in effect. Good Luck!!!

Thanks!
Has anyone bought the same car and what was the total out the door price ?
Thanks
7y 80K warranty = 1200
backup sensor whole set = 600
OTD around 24275
Here is what i got, for your reference
I told the dealer that i am looking for CRV-LX 09 AWD model for buying. First I had the test drive which made me feel good about the car. Because they only have three colors for LX, I chose "Glacier Blue". Then we came to the price bargin process.
At first, the dealer told me the MSRP is $23,115, and he can give me 694 incentive, but because the car has mudguard and nitrogen gas I need to pay $938 more for that. so plus tax and the documentation fee, my final price will be $25425.
I of course cannot accept that price. i asked for their dealer invoice price but the dealer refused. Then he offered that I do not have to pay $938 for the accessories (mudguard and nitrogen gas), but still I do not think it is a deal. Plus the finiancing APR rate they gave me was 6.99%. OMG, I think it is too high, even though I did not finance a car before but 6.99%??? NO!!!!
So I decided to go to see other dealers but the dealer really wanted to win my business that day. So he agreed to give me discount on his invoice price. Their invoice price is $22,165, and he has to have at least $100 profit, and I need to pay $938 for the accessories, and plus tax and the documentation, this new price is not attracting also. I offered 21,000 as my finaly OTD price but he did not accept.
Finanlly I decided to go and the dealer seemed that he may accpet $22,000 as OTD but had to ask for his manager. Since it is my first time to deal with a dealer and I do not want to be confused so I did not wait for him to get the manager. Plus still I think 6.99% APR is too high.
What do you guys think? Do the accessories really cost $938? and are they worthy? and if the dealer can give me $22,000 as OTD, is it a deal? How can I argue with them to get a lower APR?
You are correct, normally RAV4 is little expensive. But Toyota is offering $2000 off of their Value Package. And $750 rebate. So almost 3K back. That makes RAV4, LTD, V4 same (or less) than CR-V EX-L.
Again, I like honda products but as of today there is a clear winner (RAV4) unless you like CR-V's shape and style. I like both shape.
Also don't forget RAV4 comes with "Smart Key", which Honda does not have.
Is this a good deal?
20500.00
670.00 freight
1246.20 tax
89.00 title/tax
280.00 license fee
Includes gap, free accessories (molding, mud guards, wheel locks), lifetime warranty on the powertrain, and 500 trade-in (car's very old).
Thank you.
If you are talking about price only, that's just part of the equation. Some people would say that one of the vehicles is a better value over the other even at a greater cost of $3,000. We tested both and we didn't view them as even. But that's our opinion.
Suggest you use the Edmunds 'quick price quote' and send out a half dozen or more requests (for DETAILED cost breakdown before tax/title) to areas you are willing to drive to. Use the comment box to tell them NO trade in, accessories, etc.
For example, Jim White Honda and Brown Honda of Toledo OH are very competitive...just got a quote a couple weeks ago that beat anything I rec'd in GA, AL, northern FL. Bought two of my last three Hondas in Toledo...flew in, drove back
Give everyone a 'last chance/call' to improve the price one you have all the reponses in.
Ask about financing...Westside Honda TN, via Bank of America provided me with 4.3% APR...excellent credit score...beat my credit union's 4.75%...3 wks ago.
Do all your shopping via email...ask for clarification if quotes are 'muddy'
p.s. mud flaps/splash guards are an approx. $90 item. Good Luck.
I agree with you. it's a personal preference. I am glad we all don't like the same car otherwise the price would go really up for that car:)
It would have been nice if they had given me that 4.5 last week before buying the car, but at least for the refi I can get lower. I was surprised they went lower.
Appreciate your suggestions. So basicly, you just negotiate the price with the internet seller? I did sent out some quote requests and got the price. Just have no clue that am I should continue negotiate with them? can we also ask the dealer invoice price or something like that? It is different from talking with real person.
Thanks

Bought from Carmichael Honda in Citrus Heights. Pleasure to deal with. Smoothest car buying experience I've had.
I'm new to the boards and wanted to get your thoughts on a good price to shoot for in future negotiations for this car:
-2009 CRV EXL 4wd (no navigation) with backup sensor, body side molding & roof rack
Also, have any of you had a salesperson attempt to inflate the price by adding "installation charges"? I have asked several people and no one has ever had a dealer charge them for installation of the accessories when buying a new car.
Any info would be most helpful and much appreciated. Thanks!
