    Hi @jay1201x, welcome to the forums. Fond memories of Panama City and Destin back in the 60s. :)

    Invoice on the EX-L FWD is $27,602 and the TMV average is a few hundred bucks more at $27,914. Those numbers include destination. So your selling price is pretty good for Florida.

    But your dealer made some back off the doc fees - Florida is notoriously bad for high doc fees.

    Not sure about the sensor - it sounds overpriced but if it saves you one bumper, that'll pay for it. But you already have a backup cam so ....

    CALTEX resistal is "mop & glow". Wax and Scotchgard in other words and it's not worth $60 to me, much less $600. Sounds like your uncle overpaid for the accessory package too.

    Enjoy the new rides!

    A reporter is looking to speak with car shoppers who recently purchased a truck or SUV instead of a coupe or sedan because they were influenced (at least in part) by today's low gas prices. If this sounds like your experience and you're willing to help, please contact pr@edmunds.com by no later than May 24, 2016.

    For the NJ/NY buyers:
    We just purchased a silver EX-L AWD (without navigation) with the help of this forum. After seeing the prices that people in Iowa and Boston had gotten on this forum, my original plan was buy in one of those areas and ship the car or pick it up. However, shipping from Iowa would have been $1200 (i had anticipated $600-800). And Boston (Boch Honda) was far and away the best deal at
    $26625 plus $399 doc fee plus $150 plate running fee to NJ + TTL, however Boston requires two trips. One to sign the papers and another to pick up the vehicle.

    I then emailed a handful of dealers in NJ to see how much I'd save by driving to Boston.
    Mahwah Honda: 28621 + doc + TTL
    Rt 23 Honda: 27625 + 399 doc + TTL
    Autosport Honda: 27171 + 369 doc + TTL
    Garden State Honda: 27614 + 369 doc + TTL
    DCH Paramus: 27719 + doc + TTL
    Planet Honda: 27350+ 369 doc + TTL
    Hamilton Honda: 27898 + 369 doc + 449 accessories + TTL.

    I didn't try to play one off the other to save a few pennies. Didn't want the stress and I was happy with the price.

    We ended up going with Autosport for an OTD of 29815. Very pleased. We spent $325 over our Boston quote. And Autosport made this simple and easy.

    Sounds like a good move - congrats!

    Thanks Stever , because this is my first Time buy car. And I didn't do any research. The salesperson told me the offer only valid for that day , I only compare to the price my uncle paid for his exl, and the guy help me sign up the geico insurance $ 150 per month . Down 9k. Loan 21k 60 month , the loan apr is 4.59,(they won't tell me before I agree to buy the car ) compare to my uncles 2.14 APR I'm upset .. Also can u tell me what is dealer deliver fee ? I didn't see anyone here post that fee?
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Dealer deliver fee is just another word for additional profit.

    Manufacturers already charge a destination fee and manufacturers pay dealers to prep cars ("deliver") for customers.

    Hi all, Just trying to find out whether the quote I got was a good one.

    Car: HONDA CRV EXL with Navigation (FLORIDA)
    Market value: 30845
    Savings: 3926
    Selling price: 26919
    Deli Fees: 689
    Tx: 1709
    Cash price OTD: 29474.37

    Another dealer quoted for the same for: 29184 OTD...

    Please let me know whether this is a good price.

  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    You've been shopping a while now @bob2018. At first glance, your "deli" doc fee has gone down a little bit. Almost reasonable by Florida standards, lol.

    The numbers are invoice of $29,748 and TMV is $1,100 below invoice at $28,606.

    So $26,900 is a good price. Let's call it $27,500 to account for the doc fee - still is over $2,000 off invoice.

    Time to pull the trigger. :)

    @nvaidya1 said: at Bosh Honda / Boston requires you have to sign papers then come back the next day.

    Is this something new . Sounds absurd to me. What is the reasoning for that?? I've sent thousands of buyers to Bosh Honda from out of state.

    I been recommending Auto-Sport Honda to buyers for many years in these forums . They are a class act and most months beat most of there competition in NJ. Hamilton Honda use to be good . I no longer recommend them to buyers for the reason you posted . All there vehicles tend to have 400 to 800 dollars worth of add on's.

    DCH OldBridge is a well run excellent dealership but pricing is not as good as the bigger dealerships .

    Hello, i am in Frisco TX. 
    I bought CRV 2016 EX FWD. At 26400 OTD. I think i got to where i wanted. While i was financing with the rate of 1.65%, they offered me 0.9 rate if i was going to purchase the HondaCare. Which was 1300. Also gave me $150 off. I am happy with my purchase. I dont know HondaCare was a good idea to purchase. 
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454

    Let's see, I guess your taxes are 6% there @shawny8351. So the selling price was what, around $24,800?

    People's comfort levels differ - I would have waited a few years on the warranty, but you're covered now once the factory warranty expires and you got the name brand HondaCare warranty instead of a third party company. That's a good thing and "free" money at 0.9% is sweet too.

    What am I forgetting ... oh yeah, Congrats!

    Hi
    Got the below quote for 2016 Honda CRV EX AWD in Michigan

    Selling Price: 24500
    tax : 6% 
    total price for OTD: 26319

    color: Probably would choose RED ( or what would be the best color to choose for MI) but there are no added options that the dealer had agreed to.

    can I pull the trigger or wait for better price?
  • shawny8351shawny8351 Member Posts: 5
    Thank you Stever. You have been a great help to me!! Thank you!! Actually the tax is 6.25% and doc fee is about $180. Other fees(TTL) was roughly around $300. So on the paper, the selling price was $24250. (Not including the HondaCare). Thank you again!!

    Invoice is $26,626 so that's a great selling price and the average buyer is paying a bit more than invoice.

    You've probably seen a lots of comments about waiting until the last day or two of the month, or right now, waiting for the Memorial Day sales. But with that quote, I don't know that you're going to be able to beat it much.

    Hello,
    I received a quote for 2016 CR-V EX-L AWD in Bay Area, CA for $29,984.70 out the door. Now that we are closer to Memorial Day, how am I doing? This is one of the lowest quote that I received. What should be the target for this particular trim?

    TMV for San Fran is $28,486 (approx. $300 below invoice).

    So figure out the selling price and compare that number to TMV. Hopefully it'll be a good bit lower, since your taxes are a bit steep out that way.

    Hi from jersey here and im researching for my parents who are interested in cr-v touring awd. Went to Hudson Honda and they offered msrp $34,295 and invoice is $32,236. 7% tax $2,256.52. Registration fee $350. Mv tire fee 7.50. Doc fee $447. Total comes out to $35,297. Trying to gauge an idea on a ball park figure for them. Much help is appreciated.

    West New York New Jersey. That's a good mouthful. :) Must have great city views.

    Same invoice and MSRP numbers here. TMV is practically the same as invoice at $32,242.

    The doc fee isn't unusual but it's a bit high. Backing out the taxes and fees, it looks like the selling price is $32,218.

    So I'd say the deal is average.

    There's a week left in the month; might be able to pop $500 to $1,000 off the quote if your folks stall a few days. Might shop the quote at Metro or Garden State Honda too. @brian125 may tell you to hold out for $1,500 off invoice, he knows the area well.

    Good luck!

    Stever,
    I have just worked a deal on a 2016 Honda Touring FWD and I need your input on the deal. Is it a good one?
    Honda CRV Touring FWD MSRP $32995 (White with beige interior)
    Total Dealer add-ons: $1,970
    Window Tint $395
    Door Edge Guards $395
    Pin Stripe $195
    PRO PAC $985 (includes splash guards, wheel locks, trunk tray)


    State Sales Tax in Texas 6.25% (They are kinda secretive about the total car price, but I concentrated on the out the door price)
    TTL (estimated) $100

    Total Drive Out Cost: $31,500

    I didn't really want or need dealer add-ons, but every dealer in the DFW area has the same add-on package. Seems like price fixing to me. They didn't give me dealer fees, but the OTD price seems to be very good.


  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    TMV is $30,582, which is about $1,200 below invoice.

    So yeah, you have a mess of confusing fees in there but the OTD price looks good to me too. I *think* you're about $2,000 below invoice on the selling price.

    White and beige - perfect. The crazy dealers over here seem to think everyone wants a black car.

    If you want to try to run the tables, you could wait for the Memorial Day sales, but it'll be busy. Or you could beat the rush and enjoy touring around over the holiday in your new ride. I'd go for it myself. :)

    Hey Stever, what do you think I should offer on a brand new 2015 Touring AWD? There are a few leftovers and I plan on buying this weekend.
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    edited May 2016
    Hm, TMV is $31,029, about $700 below invoice. TMV on a 2016 Touring AWD is $32,394.

    Now let's just assume it's "used", with 20 miles and in outstanding condition. TMV dealer retail in that scenario is $30,421. That would account for a little of the year's deprecation (but with the dreaded second owner tag).

    Looking at True Cost to Own, a year's depreciation on a 2015 Touring AWD is ~$5,400. That number assumes 15,000 miles though.

    Fun exercise, but in the real world it often seems that these leftovers are overpriced. A great deal around the forums is $1,500 to $2,000 off invoice. If you can do that on a 2016, then I'd want another $500 to $1,000 pop off last year's model. Kind of funny that most dealers don't see it that way, even though they may even be getting extra bonus money from the manufacturer to clear the lots of old inventory.

    I'd love to see you get down around $29,000 and maybe your dealer will surprise me and do it. But I don't have high hopes.

    You can check the build date on the door pillar and then remind the dealer that the battery is a year old, the fluids have been sitting there and the tires may be flat spotted. Can't hurt. :)
  • henrynhenryn Member Posts: 4,289
    I'm always surprised by the number of people in here shopping for the very high CR-V models, Touring, EX-L with Nav, etc. I like the CR-V, and one of these days I may own one, but I could never see myself spending well over $30k for one.

    Different people, different tastes, different choices. Makes the world go around.

    Shopping for CRV AWD EX-L around Greater Boston. Used Edmunds to get the price promise quote for one of the dealer mentioned multiple times on this thread (Boch - the price mentioned earlier by others for this model from that dealer was 2k below invoice) - but the email quote I got is not as impressive. Price promise quote is 1k more than what people got quote from that same dealer. How to go about this? Shall I go there personally and negotiate or somehow reach the internet sales and refer the prices negotiated by others ? what strategy will you advice? thanks in advance.

    Looking for the best price on CRV AWD EX-L - any relevant advice or dealer referral will be appreciated - can travel any nearby states (not working for the next 1 wk). thanks.

    Search around the Accord discussions for posts by @brian125 - he's knowledgeable about your area and your dealers. You may want to get a few more quotes and then hit Boch in person and get an idea of the numbers in person.

    True Market Value is a couple hundred bucks below invoice at $26,373. I don't know your taxes - 10.5%? That would put your OTD price around $29,143.

    Since that's the average, your goal is to beat the average.

    TMV is about $800 below invoice - $23,766. That's the average in your zip and includes the $900 destination.

    Invoice is $24,552, but I'm showing a $600 advertising fee for your zip. That's a legit charge passed on to the dealers in some areas but I don't believe in paying for their ads.

    Not sure about your Honda dealers. I've gotten some Kia quotes from over in Gilbert in recent weeks and their pricing wasn't especially competitive.

    With all that in mind, and knowing that the goal is to beat TMV, I'd say you should shoot for a selling price of $23,000 and then add some fees and taxes to the tune of ~$2,500.

    So I'd be happy with $25,500 OTD. Whether the dealer would be happy to sell you at that number - well, guess we'll find out. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

    @kishk

    Below is my list of Honda dealers I use to make my best deals in Boston . Some months one dealer can do better than others that's why you need to call every one on this list your willing to drive to.

    Prime, Bernardi, Bosh Honda west , Bosh norwood, Honda gallery, Commonwealth, Weymouth, Herb Chambers, Honda cars of Boston, Peters Honda of Nashua , Rockingham , Hyannis

    Target price on the CRV by may,31st. 1500 to 2k below invoice range with 2k below invoice being a top price.

    Target price for Accords 2k to 3k below with a 3k below being a very best price.

    Target price for Civics...... Invoice price . A model you want that's not on dealers lot means No leverage.

    Honda cars of Boston , Peters, and Bosh should compete for your business if they have your model on lot.

    How you get price leverage on any of these dealers is buying last 2 days, last day of this month. I like to pit Weymouth against Herb Chambers they hate each other . Peters against Honda cars of Boston :smile:

    May Buyers one word of advise

    How you play this buying game is to get the upper hand and price leverage. Pitting one dealer against the next.

    All this back and forth nonsense about x price and this price means nothing. At the end of this month you will have every dealers attention especially the dealers that need ending sales numbers. That's when the real negotiations start. Get your targeted dealers together 10, 15, 20, 30 .

    On may 30th or 31 start your emails and calls to all targeted dealerships Internet mgrs. / dept. Negotiate your price on that day telling each dealer I buy right now for X- price and only that price will get my business . Once dealers agrees, counters, or says no, you move onto the next dealer . Any dealer that counters your offer tell them you will get back to them in 1 hour your calling X, Y, and Z dealerships unless they want the immediate sale for x price

    I could call 20 dealers in 30 minutes time and have a sale immediately or 5 decent counter offers, 3 let me talk to my MGR offers, 2 you need to come down to the dealership. That's how easy a sale could go on any last day of any month.

    To sum up in plan English your objective is to take your buying area and make your best possible deal on that last day. Don't worry what @brian125 is getting in NY or Joe in MD. Your area will dictate the best price from these dealers at the end. Make your best deal out of the lot or wait another month . That's how you know and gage the best price in your area. for that month. You need no one to tell you what you can or cant get You Know by direct calls and emails to each store. Supply and Demand drives this market

    Good luck

    Hi Stever, the lowest price I got right now from local dealers in IL for a 2016 CR-V EX AWD:
    OTD price: $27, 317.44. Iv'e emailed probably 6-8 dealers. I haven't bargained yet. I will see this Memorial day Monday if I get better deals.

    P.S.
    I've been researching on the internet and found that the New 2017 CR-V's may come in a longer wheel base and 7 seating capacity. If so, it would be difficult to pass on that.

    Cheers

    Invoice is $26,526 and TMV is a little bit higher at $25,805.

    Two thousand below invoice is terrific - you live in a great car buying area. My sister is in VA in Shenandoah County and I'm half tempted to fly out to Dulles and visit and drive home in a new rig.

    Congrats and thanks for the report (and for the kind words)!

  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Yeah, you know it must be in the works since the 2016 Civic has it. Edmunds just posted a blurb about it in the long term fleet blogs.

    2016 Honda Civic: Highway Cruising With Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Departure Intervention

    The Civic was just redesigned though. Wikipedia says that the next generation Honda CR-V will share its platform with the all-new Civic, but the prediction for that one is 2018.

    It's possible that the last year(s) model of the current CR-V generation will gain the feature.

    Anyone in Philadelphia tristate area that brought a crv ex awd lately? I missed the memorials day sale, couldn't decide between crv vs RAV4. Looks like the magic number on here is to shoot for is $24k plus 8% and fee will push it up to $27k. Anyone know a dealer in the area that will entertain these numbers?

    Thanks. I'm in NoVA and my 2014 LX is coming off lease end of December and I'm debating whether to buy or upgrade to a newer model EX-L. With only 14k miles on the lease, and a buyout (today) of $17k, I'm finding it hard to justify +$10k for couple years newer, leather seats, rims and moonroof, etc....

    Yet there's still a certain pull :smile:

    $799.50 dealer fee
    $139 electronic filling
    $1,310.01 taxes


    $23,143.50 out the door + tag transfer 60-120 and new tag 300-400

    good deal or keep haggling

    TMV is $22,540, which is about $800 below invoice. Invoice is $23,301 so you're about $3,300 below invoice and well below the TMV average too.

    That makes up for the idiotic dealer and e-filing fees and puts your selling price at $20,934 before the legit taxes and fees. B)

    Enjoy the new ride!
