I also contacted Castrucci of the best deal I could find. It's a 4 hour drive from home in Indiana to Cincinnati for the best deal.
Beat any dealer in our area by 1,000.00 and 550.00 less that Louisville's lowest.
2010 CR-V EX-L 2wd Polished Metal with Black Leather
24,750.00 with destination
250.00 doc fee
1732.50 7% Indiana Sales Tax
30.50 Title and Tag Fee
26763.00 Out the door.
Some might have done better, but I'm pretty happy.
Thanks again -
And.. dealers, especially don't care... because, they have no way to prove it on resale..
So.. it sounds good, but in the market, it is, "miles are miles".. If you are selling the car to your neighbor or best friend, then it might be worth more to them, because they can verify it... (but, then.. can you really get top dollar from a neighbor or friend?).
That is the hard truth, I'm afraid.. Fortunately, a car this is well cared for will show in the cosmetics and service records. That is what will set your car apart.

On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being Excellent), where does this deal fall?
Any one in New England with a better deal?
If you look at the classifieds in the paper, every car in there has highway miles, which begs to question, who the heck is driving on the streets and clogging them up if every car is highway driven.
I am not questioning your integrity, but, for someone to shell out extra dough for something they can not prove beyond reasonable doubt is a tough pill to swallow. Which, makes your 41,000 miles no different than the 41,000 miles on the car next to it.
So, yes, you can differentiate your vehicle from the other by stating that it has 35,000 highway miles out of 41,000 total miles. But, don't expect someone to pay more for it. You may get a quicker sale, as a buyer would find you trustowrthy and prefer to buy from you than the next guy with 41,000 miles, but a buyer will not pay more for your ride than the other 41,000 miler.
What if the other guy swears that all 41,000 miles are highway?
Has anyone purchased an EXL w/o Navi that can comment?
Its about the right price. I am also going to pick up my CRV LX AWD @ Following price
$21195 (Include Destination + Remote Starter) + $1500 NJ Tax (7%) + $275 Dealer Fee + around $295 DMV Fees
Total = $23200 - Its higher for me because of NJ Tax (7%) and dealer fees. I don't know how you skip dealer fees here.
Memories: 12 years ago, I refused to pay the $299 doc fee. The sales person pointed to a plaque on the wall that stated it was mandatory. I countered "so if I put a plaque in my home that every guest has to pay up $10, would the guests pay?!". He was taken aback and could not quite get composure back - too unexpected for him. He got up abruptly, red faced, and said, I could leave if I didn't plan on buying the car, and the $299 was non-negotiable. I simply went back to the door and asked for another salesman. Not too soon after the original sales person came and asked if $100 doc fee was okay. I agreed. I was desperate to buy the car that day - my prior car was dead and I had traveled 100mi to bargain.
PS Check my last post 9791. that price includes $400 dealer fees, I just didn't separate it out.
I'm attempting to sell my car to people in my development who know me. Most know that I travel back to my "root's" quite often. It was difficult making a move from an area where I lived all my life. On most days it's apprx. a 180 mile round trip, with majority of travel t/pike, and open rode with no light's or stop signs. I've cut back the drive, for I'm finally getting use to my new envirement.
I went to a Honda Dealer, and purchase a 2010 EX-L CR-V. My 2006 Accord EX-L V-6 Sdn was to be use for trade. After receiving what I thought was a great price ($25,961), I was looking to get at least $13,500 to $14,000 for my 06. I feel my 06 Accord is 90% show room condition. I must of fell asleep at the wheel, for the sales manager talked me into $12,500, for the trade, after I ask for $13,500. From what I've seen, dealers are selling my type car model from $18,000 to $19,000+. He mention saving on sales tax by trading, and all the other talk when trying to sell a car..
When I arrived home, and wrote down numbers in regard to me selling my car privately, the numbers were much different, like $2000++ different. I signed most of the papers to buy the CR-V, and I stated that I'd come back Thursday to pick up vehicle. I gave a $500 hold from my c/c. I called yesterday, and inform dealer that I was changing things, for I want to buy the CR-V out right with no trade, and that my bank gave me an open check to pay for CR-V OTD of $28,200. I'm sure they are probably pis***, but the money is better in my pocket then theirs.
My only problem, now I have to advertise the sale of my 06 Accord. It's rednaldo red, mud guards, matching color d/edge guards, moon roof visor, pin stripe w/small "H" at each q/panel, wheel locks, gold package, garage kept, and paid subscription to satilite radio until December. Also, I have the car detail twice a year by a shop in Manahawkin, NJ, and is dealer certified, for service done by a Honda dealer in Philadelphia The odometer turned 43,000 miles today.
What I do need from the board is advise on how to sell the vehicle other then from inside my development. I was ASKING $17,000, but I decided on a firm price of $15,900. Also, how would I have if I want to cancel my contract to buy the CR-V?
Thanks for the patience.
But you have some issues you'll need to overcome. Namely the bartering game. I'm going to use a car I found as an example. An '06 accord EX-L sedan with auto listed at $16,999. Me, the buyer than looks at KBB and verifies that's the retail price for an Accord in Excellent condition (I will say, selling a used car at in the Excellent category is challenging). I quickly look at the private party sale price ($15K) and the Trade-In value ($12,600K) and then determine my offer. Knowing that a dealer may offer (they are usually lower than the published trade-in) $12,600 for the car, I may offer this guy $13,350 or thereabouts and then let the games begin. And things can get even more complicated if your dealing with people you know. I mean are they going to expect a little discount? The people you don't know will be more skeptical and realize they'll forfeit the 30 day warranty most dealers offer on a used car sale if they bought from you. That warranty is worth something. I believe it will be difficult to get $15,900 knowing what the car is worth, what the expected sale will be with private party and what you could get if you traded it in. But, go ahead and try it. Someone may really like the car and buy it for your firm price. But the one question you'll need to answer is how long are you willing to wait for your price? If someone offers you $14,500 - $15,000 two months into this process, are you willing to say no?
going back and forth between a forester and a crv - contemplating going LX FWD to save some cash and add 1 mile mpg. I drive 600 highway miles per week between MA and RI. My Honda Ody has 267K on it - time to retire. . . Like the Forester and at the low end it is less expensive and still would have AWD for 19,500 but trust the Honda brand.
Can I ask what dealership you ended up settling on?
What other cars did you consider
As I said, I really liked my Forester. So far, I am enjoying my CR-V and feel that it handles very well. As far as gas mileage, both my CR-V AWD and my Forester appear to be the same.
great price, Was the CRV a demo?
What dealership did you purchase it from.
Put it up on ww.autotrader.com, www.ebay.com, local newspaper, nearest big city newspaper....
All in all it may cost you $200 or more to advertise, but you may eventually sell it.
Try www.craigslist.org, but be prepared to hear from people asking for payments, and offering you $2000 for it. Also, be prepapred from people wiring you a lot more "money" and expecting you to send the excess back via wire transfer (Nigerian Scam)
Good luck.
You misread my post. I said that I priced the Forester and I DID NOT recieve a price anywhere near $19,500 including destination. The price I payed for my CR-V LX AWD was around $21,940 (which included the destination). The price I was given for the Forester was actually a couple of hundred dollars more.
"It's ALL freeway miles so it doesn't matter!"
I guess it never once set foot on a surface street?
" I change the oil every 3000 miles"
Really? Doesn't everyone?
" It's good for another 200,000 miles"
It is?
With those miles, we will wholesale tha car. Nobody will buy it.
The wholesaler will switch on the ignition, look at the odometer and make a low bid just like any other miled up car.
Oh, the A/C was blowing hot but "it only needs a charge"
2010 CRV EX-L 2WD
$25,356(Invoice) + 399 (dealership fees)+ 30 (tag) = 25,785
added the following options
CARGO TRAY $118.00
WHEEL LOCKS $76.00
MUD GUARD $117.00
FOG LIGHTS $535.00
DOOR EDGE GUARDS $112.00
BODY SIDE MOLDING $339.00
Total for options: $1,297.00
Final Price with options = 26,653
The options are a little pricier than the Manufacturer suggested pricing on the website but they do include installation charges as well so I think its fair. Overall I would like to know if I'm getting a good deal or not. Any info would be helpful as I'm planning on pulling the trigger within a couple days. Thanks!
I am a previous owner of Saabs, and never had a problem with them. They are monsters in the snow! Can't afford another Saab this time, and I'm looking for a reliable, well-made vehicle that handles well in all types of weather.
I would appreciate feedback! Thanks.

I bought another CRV from them years ago. Small dealer but no BS.
They gave me the deal w/o hassle. Just waited for a couple hrs to clean/prep the new V and paper work. 8 miles in the odometer, brand new, right of the truck.
Drove the new V home same night.
2010 Honda CR-V 4WD EX
New MSRP $25,805
Your *e-Price $23,388
This price INCLUDES Destination Charge of $710
Thx!

Thanks
$4,000 above a EX.
If you really think the navi & leather worth $4K.
We lucked out and got the color we wanted, doesn't seem to be a lot of vehicles with Navi.
What kills u is all the taxes and such . I came to 30009.95 out the door
And it was the right color, acccording to my wife
Use Edmunds to get a quote from their internet manager first.
Work out the deal and just show up at the dealer and ask for him.
Print out a copy of the email would help. The internet manager of Community Honda is a great guy to deal with, no need to worry. The finance manager is not friendly :mad: . He tried to sell me the extended warranty (7yr/80K) for $1,400. I got it from College Hills for $775 with $0 deductible right after I got the V.
