I just purchased a 2001 EX 4A last night and was amazed on how much the dealer was willing to work the numbers. We ended up getting it for more than $1000 less than invoice though have seen it priced for almost $2000 less.
While happy with the car and the deal was wondering if they just have too many due to new models like the Rav4, the economy, new body style coming out next year, or my favorite current owners don't did a new one since their current ones are still doing so well.
BTW any suggestions on add-ons and where to get them would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sal

1) Our insurance company has determined the vehicle to be a total loss, I was wondering if someone out there can help us in determining what we can expect as a "fair" payment from the insurance company for our vehicle. Our 98 CRV LX only had 28,600 miles on it and it was in excellent condition.
2) We loved our CRV so much that we're planning on purchasing a 2001 model. Can someone give us an idea of what's a good price range for a 2001 CRV LX?
3) I've also heard that the CRV is going to be redesigned for 2002, is this true and what can I expect? Anybody have any idea when the 2002 will be hitting the market?
Thanks!
Q
invisible sporty features, invisible safety features, etc. then that's okay (IMO)...
'tis only $289

Honda World (13600 Beach Boulevard Westminister CA, 92683 Phone: 714-890-8900) had an add for the EX for $18,200 (had 6 at that price) last weekend.
As for a processing fee there was a $45 document fee but no $289 processing fee.
Again I will list the details later tonight.

Salcido--Good dealer, I work with Wes Griffin there. The $45 doc fee is normal in California, no one waives it.

I know it matters little now, but Allison never actually made hurricane status. In fact, it was already downgraded from Tropical Storm status when she let loose on H-Town. It turned out that I was on some of those freeways just minutes before they became impassable. Had I known what was really taking place then, I would have just stayed home!
The first big lesson I learned was that a storm doesn't need a hurricane label to be worthy of your attention. The secondary lesson was that the CR-V will drive like a champ through 12-18 inches of street flooding without any problems whatsoever.
Finally, I hope your car was the worst of your losses.
They show the Honda HRV which I think is the Japanese version of the CRV.
Good Luck!
i have a question though, did anyone try to replace the amber gauges in the cr-v with indiglo gauges made for civic. the size seems to be the same as was in my 99 civic. the only thing i don't like about my new cr-v is the amber lighting. it is so annoying at night. i loved the cool hyper white/blueish dash and radio lighting inmy civic. i didn't check it when i test drove the car at the dealer and now i am stuck with gauges and dash lighting that annoy me at night.
thanks
As with any model redesign, the older model will lose value. But the current model has some great things going for it -- very reliable, good safty record, good economy. The other good thing about a model changeover is prices are better than ever right now.
I suspect your friend made his judgement of the '97 based on tires. The stock tires that come with the CR-V are a bit on the noisy side. The '97 more than likely had quieter replacement tires fitted. That might explain the "tinny" description.
Dudka, Indiglo gages are available. Just do some searching on the performance sites. Check over at the "Other" forum or look at www.hondasuv.com for some info.
Nice leather, varmit. I really like the gathered leather look, plus it at least appears to be real soft. Much nicer than the stuff in my Miata (I'd have chosen cloth but I bought it used).
Those super swamper tires cracked me up!

drew_HOST - Thanks! So, it'd be a safe best to use a car soap like Rain Dance, Simoniz car wash or Maguier's (#1403 by Bulldog).
For waxes:
1) Zymol
2) Preston's Bullet Wax
But what about those once-a-year finishes (typically some polyurethane blend) like Nufinish?
I saw some of the previous messages, about the passenger side wiper...same thing in my car...I thought something was wrong also, but I guess that's normal huh?
PS: My passenger side wiper arm is also a bit higher than the one on the drivers side!
Read back through this thread and you can find information and pics of the aftermarket seats that I had installed (with heat) for about $1K. IMHO, it's a much better deal.
Regarding the wiper arm; this is normal. My wife's Acura also has the arms cocked at a different angle. However, her's is actually a problem. The passenger side wiper arm rests under the trailing edge of the hood (lower than the driver's). This means that you can't lift it while doing things like washing the windshield.
question, the engine looks very much like the engine they used on the 88 prelude, same block and same head, i suspect that bore and stroke is the same, does anyone know if it is the same engine?
Indiglo gauges, i e-mailed a few retailers on e-bay selling indiglo's for civic's, they all said that no one makes indiglo's for cr-v. to me the gauge cluster looks exactly the same as the 99 civic's, i don't nesceserraly want the indiglo, so if i find a junk civic with gauges i will try them on. at least the glow white at night.
You can use Civic gauge clusters for the CR-V. A fella in MD used some for his outrageous green and yellow custom rig. I'll post links.

This one has the indiglo gauges.

Pesonally, I don't recommend this partcular color scheme, but to each his own. This one certainly gets people's attention.

Kitty? More like Tiger! Did you see the size of that intercooler?
And she didn't just change the shocks - those are Tein Coilovers - sweet! They make some for the Miata that are height adjustable, which would be perfect for an SUV. Can you imagine being able to dial in 4-8" of ground clearance?
That wing is just too much. I couldn't stop cracking up. OK, get a hold of yourself, juice.
-juice
As for the other one...
The wing, don't get me started. How about the "dual" exhaust? Why stop there, go for one tip for each cylinder.
Kids...
The other guy said he is going to DISABLE the AWD, so I guess that rear wing will be providing down force to wheels that aren't even being driven! DOH!
OK, he's 17, I'll cut him some slack...

2001 Honda CR-V 4WD Automatic
Paid: $18772. (For the car - 100 over invoice)
$105 (Carmats he wouldn't throw them in
(He threw in wheel locks though)
Plus Tax, title,License and Doc fee.
Dealer refused to match prices for keyless entry off of HandAaccessories website. So I ordered them this morning. Other than paying for the carmats, the dealer was very upfront and did not try and mess around with the prices at all. The experience was much better than I thought it was going to be. Hope I got a decent price. I live in the south suburbs of Chicago. Thanks everybody for all the help!
so far we are loving this car, except for the pick up on the highway. pick up from stand still is good, i think honda did some tricks with the tranny, the first seems to be a very low gear (get alot of pick up from stand still), 3rd and 4th are very tall (almost no pick up at highway speed).
We were about to buy a 2001, but then my wife decided she much prefers the looks of the 2002.

Also, the dealers do have a 2002 color sheet at this point - someone posted a copy to an Odyssey forum I participate in - but I am still looking for the CR-V information. Anyone out there have it?
Best wishes,
David
That's a fake. It's a current model CR-V with airbrushed sheetmetal. There are a number of fakes out there. This is one of the better fakes and looks to me a bit more realistic.

If so, try to find a child seat that uses is. Consumer Reports just tested a few. They cost more but they are easier to install and more secure.
