I called 15-20 dealerships late yesterday. All would be thrilled to take a $500 deposit and "find one" for you. But no guarantees on when - could be 6 weeks, could be April or May.
So I just signed a contract and put another $500 down. It's supposed to arrive this weekend. Needless to say, I am skeptical yet hopeful.... will post my success after it happens. :-) Meanwhile I'll keep driving my trusty "Little Green" and sure won't sell her until a new one is in the garage.
Now, I sure hope Ft Myers gives me back my $500 since they sold my car out from under me. I'll keep you posted. Fingers crossed, I sure hope Ft Myers actually gets a red one for you.
FYI: handaaccessories.com doesn't carry the cargo shelf
Russell Smith Honda uses unfair business practices!!!!
The other person probably offered them more. I would ask for my deposit and wait until the crazyness dies down. You already have an Accord to drive. If you wait a few months, the prices will come down, and maybe you will find a more honest dealer. Wouldn't you hate your self a few months later when the same car as yours is selling for a few thousands less?
I agree with you blueiedgod about waiting, but I'm not sure the shortage will be over in a couple of months to the point they will take thousands off. I hear it will be Nov./Dec. before things ease up. Other dealers I spoke with yesterday said the same, someone else probably came along with more $$$....
So wish me luck in the AM. I hope I get my deposit back without an ugly scene. :mad:
"processing doc fee" -289

good? bad? lemme know.
this color was rare in the area-- the only one w/ this spec.
Like you I have been interested in a CR-V EX-L. But I too am not very keen to wait until mid march only to find that some one else who pays more can jump ahead in the queue. I test drove an RAV4 4x4 limited today. I later obtained quotes for these. I could not figure out what is the configuration of your RAV4 was. Was it 4WD RAV4 Limited V6 with the option( Option Combination #D $3,230 - leather, DRL, etc )? The MSRP for this 4WD would be $28,220. Did you get this for $25,985? My quote for the option with the leather heated seat etc was $26,100.
My quote for the RAV4limited 4WD 6cyl with the leather package (MSRP $30,295 - sale price $28,000).
Would appreciate if you can clarify what you got for $25,985. The base model does not have the leather option right? Only limited and sport has it. I am just wondering how you could get a V6 4x4 with Leather for such a low price? How much off the MSRP is that?
thanks.

So...if it were me, I would buy a new one for $20k and get a brand new car. Won't need tires or brakes for a long time + much more refined & safe.
Also, what financing rate are you getting on a used car? Needs to be considered.
BTW, I got my $500 back from Ft Myers this AM. It was painful. It was supposed to be waiting at the desk for me, but of course it wasn't. I wasted a few hours of my morning, but finally did get the refund...
Do you call often to check status of your red CRV? It seems the squeaky wheel gets the oil in Ft Myers!
I've spoken to several dealers and my friend who is a dealer and the price of $500 over invoice seems to be the line between hard bargaining and little bargaining. I've gone to two dealerships and will be going to a third tonight. Each time, I've been able to get away with that price w/o much haggling. The only reason I haven't purchased one is that at that price, I want some accessories and haven't been able to get any.
Tonight, I will be going to my friend's dealership and getting it at $500 over invoice, and they're throwing in a cargo tray and cargo cover.
In my area, MN, the lowest quote so far I got is $23,288 but with 6.5% tax + title + license fees its close to $25,000.
I too am in MN, but am in the market for an EX-L. Are you looking at a EX 2WD? Which dealership gave you the lowest quote? I have had a bad experience so far because half the dealers in MN don't bother even replying to a quote. I sent out a quote request to a Toyota dealership in Anoka and bang I got the quote back in minutes and 2 days later an e-mail from Toyota to check if the dealer got back to me or not! That was the Toyota Production System in action!
I may yet finalize on a Toyota RAV4 next weekend after another test drive of the 4X4 limited with the leather package though CRV-EXL has always been my preferred choice.
I am getting offered 7.85% for 60 months - credit score in the 700's, NY metro area through Honda Finance....what do you think?
Also, what about GAP insurance? Dealer said it is included with Honda Finance, but I would need if I used an E*loan...think that is bs though, since I am making a trade and big down payment, only financing $15,000....please advise!
Thanks
I just purchased my 2007 CRV today after visiting many dealerships. I got 5.94% for 48 months through Honda of America. My FICO score is in the 700s as well, so maybe you should try another dealer? I visited a Honda dealer yesterday and was quoted a rate of 6.19% for 48 months, so I'd look at other options.
20,500 (incl. dest)
204 doc prep
1025 sales tax
115 for reg + title
No extras thrown in. APR rates were not the best, 7.49/60.
I'm looking for the 2007 CR-V EX 4WD vs a RAV4 Base 4x4 with additional option for Security. So far the best deals I got from Burnsville Toyota and from Hopkins Honda.
You are right; most of the Honda dealers don't bother to negotiate about their intial quotes as they are in high demand now. This may change after 2-3 months.
From where you got your quote of 24,$$$+ otd for which model of CR-V ? I did my reseach online and also subscribed paid membership from Consumerreports.org for 'New Car Buying Kit', which reveals the hidden $$ that any dealer would make on a particular model.
Price: 20,082.33
Doc : 289.10
Tax : 495.40
Lic : 16.50
It's been awhile since I purchased a new car. Can anyone tell me if the tag will transfer and/or what I can expect (est)to pay?

I just purchased 2007 CR-V 2WD LX Glacier blue in the amount
of $19,668+TTL.I'm in Detroit,MI.
I've had good experience with Kolbe Honda in Reseda, but I suspect you will do better if you check out the Rock Honda website to get a confirmed quote, then take THAT to Kolbe (or go to Rock Honda in Fontana).
However, Kolbe is very good to do business with, and their service department is great.
whatev, i paid 1k more than i'd need to in 6 mo, but we needed the car now. (other car was driven into a wall.)

Always, email all the dealerships from your area for quotes and bring the printouts. Then, compare with the price at the actual dealership.
When and are you going to get your CR-V from ROCK HONDA? Post your feedbacks.
take care
Total was 22,090.
Loving the V, and loving it in red.
Multiple bay area dealers were offering invoice pricing (+1% advertising). No pressure deal.
Dealt mostly with internet salesman. The salesmen I met for test drives could not give me any decent deal.
Used this forum for the last few months to know what I could get it for. Thanks to the other bay area buyers for posting.
It was youngbuck2 who gave a price quote for the CR-V, not me. I got a quote for a RAV4 4x4 limited with the leather package and did a test drive. I am taking my wife for an additional test drive coming Saturday. I got a quote from Toyota City in Brooklyn Park. Did the Hopkins quote tell you when they can deliver the vehicle? I was told mid march for delivery of the CR-V EX-L AWD at Honda Hopkins. Some of the Honda dealerships never responded to my request for a quote, including Richfield Honda, which from the feedback on another forum is the worst Honda dealership in MN. Brooklyn Park Honda dealership has a friendly internet manager but the lady does not seem to have the authority to offer any deals other than their standard $xx off the MSRP. A year from now most Honda dealerships will want your business like the Toyota dealerships are doing now. A year ago they too got to behave like the 07 CR-V dealers.
Here is what I got (click on this):

You will see I got RAV4 4X4 V6 Base model but they offer third party (aftermarket) custom leather that they install on your car later after you take delievery. I got my leather on Friday (they take out the seats, strip down existing cloth and replace it with leather). They can do it for any Toyota, any model, any trim. Just ask about it. The leather feels very rich and it is much better than CR-V original factory leather. (Or factory Toyota leather for that matter.) And make sure you lump the sum with your price and negotiate for the whole deal otherwise you'd be paying whatever you negotiate for the car + MSRP for leather ($1,300). That's without heated seats. So you don't actually have to get Sport or Limited RAV4 in order to get leather. You can buy the most basic (the cheapest) RAV4 and have them put in the leather afterwards.
This option may not work for me though. Living in MN, heated seat is a real luxury! If the LX had leather heated seats as an option I would not have cared for an EX at all. CR-V EX-Ls are in short supply in the upper midwest for the heated seat functionality.
Honda will send us whatever we order. For every 2WD we order, that is one 4WD we won't get. Since the 4WD's outsell the 2WD's BY FAR, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have very many on the lot. As a very large store, we try to keep a couple in stock but a lot of the smaller stores don't bother.
After the weather we have just had, I'm surprised you would even consider a 2WD. My 4WD CRV got me home Weds night but it was still tough.
Also, consider this. Cars that are poor sellers as new cars are even worse as used cars. The 1200.00 more you pay for 4WD now will add a ton of value later when you go to sell it. The 2WD's sit on our lot.
Do you know from Honda corporate when they will be switching to USA production ? At least they do not have to be shipped in a boat and ETA might be shorter.
I agree buying a 2WD for an SUV does not make much sense and selling a used 2WD SUV will be difficult. The $1200 a price difference now might mean having a hard time selling and much lower sale price.
Honda tends to be conservative when they roll out a new model and I think they were simply blindsided by the demand. I do know they plan to ramp up production..
I read in these forums that some dealers are perceived as arrogant when they won't give big discounts. Maybe they could choose their words more carefully but at this point,it wold make no sense to offer deep discounts on cars that are in short supply and high demand.
They are definatly worth the money!
