I am looking for deals on CRV LX and EX in the Greater Boston and Southern Maine area. Please let me know if you come-across/find any as such. Is it wise to buy CRV LX with all safety features involved or it's better to go directly with the EX model which seems to have all the safety features in it. Also would like to know your suggestions on the Honda sensing feature and how much cost it adds onto.
Thank you!
So far quoted $26,800 including all tax and fees.
think I can do better?
So your quote is just average. $25,600 would be a good deal - that's $2,000 below invoice and is doable in some parts of the country. Kind of depends on your area and the inventory in your area.
1. Selling price: $27,100
2. Dealer fee: $195
3. DMV fee: $99
4. Honda Care 7yr/80K $100ded policy: $745
Had 2 other offers at $27,077 and $26,900. One pulled their offer on Saturday from me. Other one wanted more for Honda Care.
Sales price- 26,930
OTD- 28,747 (those monsters charged a $599 admin fee!)
So $2,000 below invoice, a great price for a "smaller" market.
The poor dealer would have been forced to eat "poverty lobster" all winter except for the profit they made on the doc fee.
Sales Price: 24025.53
Doc Fee: 299.00
MD Tax: 1459.47
Title/Reg Fees: $279
Total OTD: 26,063
Happy with my purchase!
Doc fee 80.00 govt fee 328.75, taxes 2487.02 (8.5%), Zurich or Total aftmrkt 189.00
So out the door 32,074.77
Original msrp 32825.00.
Sacramento region 95816
Anything else we can ask for? sales guy seemed like that is his final deal. nothing more than extra 250 towards accessories.
The True Market Value average price paid is $30,032. That's with the $900 destination but no fees or whatnot.
So your selling price is $1,000 below TMV (and $2,100 below invoice).
Looking good from here. Your salesperson is probably tired of getting yelled at going to the "tower" for another $200 bucks off.
Enjoy!
Thanks
Invoice is $28,819, including destination. TMV is a couple of hundred dollars less.
So your are doing well, about $2,200 below invoice.
Maybe @kyfdx can fill me in but I thought doc fees were capped in Ohio at $250.
Enjoy the new ride!
Thanks for your help. I did ended up purchasing the CRV EX AWD from a Cincinnati dealer (had to take a day trip but much cheaper than ones in Columbus).
Detailed pricing as follows:
Purchase price: 24103.96
Tax: 1734.43
Doc fee: 250
Title/ Registration/ other: 48.50
OTD: $25900
I did saw that a few posts back a dealer was offering 7yr/ 80k miles extended warranty for around $900. The dealer I bought from was trying to sell me the same package for over $2000. Glad I do all my research and declined it soon after their financial guy tried to push it. I couldn't understand how dealers can sell manufacturer extended warranty for different pricing.
Also, I'm very thankful for knowing this forum. I feel like we are making the dealer earn reasonable amount out of us (reasonable or not is of course subjective). Sure, dealers sell cars for living, but when a dealer can earn 2x profit out of one customer compared to the other, then I call it rip off. I wish the car pricing can be more transparent like many other things and make purchasing easier.
Vehicle price: $32,145
Savings: $2816
Actual Price: $29,329
Clear Nose Mask: $399 (this has got to be a rip off!)
Window tint: no charge
Vehicle selling price: $29728
Tax: $2599.52
Tag/Registration: $27.20 (Colorado)
Dealer Handling fee: $499
Balance due: $32,853.72
I ask the dealer, if I pay cash today, can I get it for $32,000 out the door - and he nodded "yes" but would not totally commit - so maybe $32,100 or so, but I'd hold firm at $32K out the door.
I hope the knowledgeable people in the forum that 'know' a good deal can respond and share your knowledge with me.
Thanks
Scott
I will be checking back often to see comments.
Invoice on that one is $30,223 and TMV is $29,580 (Denver zip).
So, selling price of $29,400, throw in tax of around $2,600 and you're at $32,000.
My gut wonders if you can go lower since that selling price number is "only" about $800 below invoice. Or maybe I'm missing something....
Anyone?
I got the following quote from a dealer near Philly area..
Sale Price 23,094
Doc fee 135
Taxes 1385
License and fees 160
--------------------------------
Total cash price 24,775 OTD
and no extras...
Please let me know if this is a good price to pay ?
The TMV average price paid is $23,654. So looking at the average, your quote is okay - not as good as some, but not too shabby either. And the doc fee is okay.
If you have time and energy, you may want to shop the quote around and see if you can get closer to $24,000 OTD.
When I look at inventory around Philadelphia, I see over 200 LX's in stock.
Keep us posted on how it goes, and good luck!
I'm going to echo @stever above post with pricing.
Knock off another 500 dollars off that quote and tell my below recommended dealers... You buy tomm. for $22,590.
Call, email, visit below dealers you should be able to save a few more dollars in Philly.
Try.................. Keenan , Scott, Lehigh, Burns Honda in addition to your targeted dealers.
Martin Honda in DE, ( Newark )
Be carefull with Hamilton Honda in NJ. They add 100's of dollars worth of accessories on there vehicles.
Hamilton's doc fee is 300 to 400 dollars
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
Certain months , Time of the year, some of these dealers will do better than the rest . That's WHY YOU NEED TO CONTACT , EMAIL, Call , ................. EACH ONE.
Auto-Sport.............My #1
Garden state .........My #2
Madison
DCH Paramus
Clinton
Route23 Honda
Joyce
Coast
Dch Old- bridge and KAY are good dealers with service pricing not as good as above mentioned
Don't forget to ask each dealers there doc fee charge ? Compensate that charge into your target price when buying.
Most NJ Honda dealers doc fee's range from $299 to 399
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
And yeah, negotiating OTD is the easier way to keep your blood pressure under control when shopping, both for doc fees and dealer add-on packages.
Any good dealerships you recommend?
