Price Paid :
MSRP-$500 (Sale Price was $26895(Inclusive of Destination Fees) + TTL
NO Extra Accessories added
Also made the dealer PM the Honda Care 8Yr/120k Mile warranty for $985($0 Deductible) with the Print out from an online quote.
Dealer - Frank Kent, Ft Worth - OK Experience.
Highest Mileage -- 31.3MPG on a 300 Mile stretch on I45
Stop N GO -- 22~23MPG
But when using freeways/turnpikes and very little Stop N Go in the DFW Metroplex -- 27MPG.
NAVI is OK -- Came with some 2005 DVD -- Does not even recognize the new extensions on Pres George Bush Turnpike that were since the last 1 year.
Overall, Iam satisfied with the purchase other than that i feel stupid paying close to MSRP.
BTW, Did anyone check out what Honda is offering in the CR-V Lineup in UK n Asia -- They have Powerseats / Panaromic MRoof / HID Xenon Lights and Auto Temp Control -- I wonder why Honda does not do the same in US!
I am in north part of Dallas. Right now I am dealing with David McDavid of Frisco for CR-V EX. Planning to get it at $23500 (including TTL) and few additional items such as mud guards, tint, tray, etc. In DFW area, is $23500 (including TTL) a good deal for CR-V EX? Or Would I be able to get at lesser price? :confuse:
I m looking to buy my dream car very soon. I need some help, and this forum is my last resault. Really appreciate if somebody could help me out
I got quote for this trim (EX- L AWD non - navi.) as follows
--------------------------------
Total: 25397$
Breakdown-
CRV- EX- L AWD :- 24400$ (300 over invoice)
Tax: ~700$
Processing Charges(Including Title):- 300$

--------------------------------
How should should I be paying? How shall I negotiate? What should be the total? Any other extra goodies I need to add that you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance
I live in Vienna, VA and I am mobile for 100-150 miles around (DC, MD, VA)
Thanks.
Good luck and remember to ask about the destination !
P.S. The processing charge is a little high if he is in MD. I thought it was fixed by law at 99 dollars.
1. should you put down a deposit if they are only going to "look" for the right car?
2. or, should you only put down a deposit on a specific car with a VIN#?
3. should you scribble on the contract a date by which the car needs to be delivered? or does this give the dealer an out, they only need to ride out the contract and they haven't lost anything.
4. does the deposit give the buyer any benefit or only the dealer?
thanks, j
Awesome! The car is a dream!
Could you elaborate a little about your dealing for the Crv EX-L at heritage? How did you negotiate? What did are the things you tell the dealer while you are negotiating to bring down to such a good price?
Please give us some inputs...
And don't feel stupid for paying msrp or close to it. Sometimes you just deserve something nice for yourself so take it as that! You have something nice, right now not many on the road have it, so you are driving the oooooo factor out there
23,945 + TTL for an inbound Whistler Silver/Gray CRV EX 4X4. Most of the other Iowa dealerships wanted MSRP (or more!) for the EX's, I was able to talk down dealers on the LX's a little more. We went through Chezik-Bell Honda in Iowa City -- though it was an hour and a half from home, they were much better to deal with, and ended up giving us the best price we were able to get around here. Randy Kuehl Honda in Cedar Rapids quoted a lower price via the internet, but twice when I went to the dealership there were no salespeople available to help me (can you come back later this afternoon?), and in general seemed that they didn't care if they sold a car or not.
Though the prices I was able to get in Iowa were not what others in larger metro areas have been able to get, it's still below the price that KBB and Edmunds say I should have paid (fairly significantly so, actually...), and this was the vehicle that we wanted, so it seems like a good deal to me. Plus, after having dealt with a number of shady dealers (not just Honda - seems like the lack of competition in Iowa makes it a lot easier for dealers to do whatever they want), we largely went with the dealer because they were no-nonsense - gave us the best price when we walked in the door, and were happy to do the whole deal on our terms.
2007 Honda CR-V EX-Leather 4WD
MSRP.................$26,595 (including destination);
Internet price.......$25,137 (including destination);
Dealer Processing....$99.00;
Internet Final Price.$25,236 plus Virginia tax(or your state's tax) plus tags, registration. $500 refundable deposit put on my charge card, ten minute phone call. I even came back to area Virginia dealers and Koons Honda in Manassas with this information and they all said they could not touch the Maryland prices. Comparable savings on other CRV models of your choice also.
The only drawback, to get the color I wanted I had to order the car but CRV's are now being made in this country and you will see many more on the lots soon. Mine will be delivered the first week of June, from the USA. I figured I could wait six weeks to get the color I wanted and save $1359.00 off the MSRP. Good luck!, but all you need is a ten minute phone call to the Internet sales manager.
$26,586 total... tax, dealer fees, etc. I bought a white one, and you're right, it was pretty hard to find unless I was willing to drive. I'm just wondering how much I could've saved by making that trek to Orlando.
2007 CR-V EX, 4WD cloth interior, no other options. Haven't even discussed trade in or financing yet. Best prices quoted so far are $23,250 and $23,500 (highest are $24,449 and $24, 395)which include destination charges and exclude Tax, Title and License. Neither dealer is particularly convenient to me but I'll put up with it.
Can I do better or should I go for it?

Now I just gotta sell the OLD car...

CR-V with stick (Gen 2.5 CR-V has the same drive train as Gen 3) is faster than V6 powered Ford Escape (auto only) and close to Accord V6 Auto.
I don't drive auto, so, don't know how fast it feels.

It is probably 2WD, not AWD CR-V. Have the dealer throw in some goodies for putting so many miles on it.
As long as warranty is intact, I would see it as new. When we almost bought a brand new RAV4 this year, it had one previous owner but not many miles. The loan company considered it new because it was within 2006-07 and had minimal miles.
Negotiate for it as you would a brand new car and make sure you get all the services of a new car owner...good luck
I would be VERY interested is seeing what your DVD headrests look like. I want a DVD in my silver CRV. I have been looking for an overhead but I will either loss the use of the rearview mirror or my kids wills watch a tiny screen... Are you able to post some pics? If not please send them to my g-mail at alisharrose@gmail.com Thank you so much!!
I was also wondering on how the headrest is affected? Did you switch them out or add the dvd to the new funky design?
MSRP is $21,195 I think you should be able to buy it for less than the MSRP
A quote from another dealer was $20,795... :confuse:
- bargain hard
- willing to walk out and goto multiple dealers
- let the dealer actually make a "reasonable little" profit (about 3% in my book)
- quote actual prices paid from sites like Edmunds and actually show them the printout and URL
- go on a weekday towards the last week of the month
- opt to finance, and not pay in cash
OTD Prices (includes mud guards, wheel locks, and floor mats, but no additional options ):
EX FWD: $23,400
LX FWD: $20,800
EX AWD: $24,000
LX AWD: $22,300
EXL FWD: $25,650
I will email you since it will be quicker.
I originally wanted a drop down but dh pointed out that my rear visibility would be drastically cut. Had not even thought of that, so I guess I keep him around for a reason
The safety factor of the headrest is actually in the seat itself. They explained it to me but I stink at repeating, no monkey am I. Anyway, the headrest motions forward during impact, and that is located in the seat ot the poles or what have you, not in the headrest.
So they take the original headrests out (but make sure they give them to you anyway). The new headrests have the dvd's built in. They wire it so that it comes down thru the tubing where the headrest sat so there are not too many wires to trip over.
The screens can pivot downward some so if I adjust my seat or the sun is glaring, they can pivot the screen some. Also, they came with 2 wireless headsets.
All in all, it was expensive as the dickens, but DH had to have them....
BTW - we both got ~29 mpg on the way home. :shades:
DO NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE FOLLOWING:
1)Base price - THIS IS WHERE YOU NEGOTIATE!!!
2)Dest $595
3)Tax 7%
4)Dealer fee (what ever they call it doc, admin, etc) <$150. If you can get them to eliminate this, fine.
DO NOT PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS HERE!
5)DMV fee for registration. MAKE SURE you are paying the true DMV cost here as you've compensated them already for their efforts through the dealer fee). CRV runs ~$60/year. The four year registration for new cars in NJ is the truth so plan on paying about $240.
>>>DO NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING NOT LISTED ABOVE!!!!<<<
***
If you have an email, I can send you a long list of dealers in NJ, #'s and notes. I'll tell you who did right by me.
Thanks
You know you can get all that information here on Edmunds. Invoice,MSRP, etc., right?
