2018 Honda CRV - Used Car for Sale from Dealership

areitano

Hi, I'm interested in purchasing a used certified car from a dealership. I've never done this before and would greatly appreciate some feedback to my questions:

1. What is a fair price to settle on from the list price of $20,225?
2. The doc fee is $479, should I negotiate this too? If so, what is fair?
3. Am I better off financing the vehicle through a 3rd party, ie. LightStream? I went to AutoLenders last month and gave them my info to see if I would get approved for a loan and they wouldn't disclose the breakdown of the finance terms, instead, they just kept asking me where did I want my payment to be and kept adjusting the monthly terms and down payment so I don't want to go through that process again if that's how every dealership does business.

Below are the details/link on the vehicle I'm interested in?

Certified Pre-Owned 2018 Honda
CR-V LX AWD SUV
VIN: 2HKRW6H30JH213770

Detailed Pricing

Price: $20,225
Doc Fee: $479
Sale Price: $20,704
