FYI, at the time the salesperson told me it was good I had the paperwork showing the numbers so he could take this to his manager. Of course I know that they know the same numbers. Best regards.
The invoice is $17556. I appreciate any comments. I am in Kentucky. Does anyone buy a new LX 2WD in KY or indiana recently?

Other dealers that I spoke to in Jersey were charging more than $100. Some less.
The dealer that I did my deal with in NJ (Academy in Old Bridge) charged me something like $98 doc fee. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay ($55 seems more reasonable) but the deal that I negotiated wasn't worth losing for $45 (pennywise, pound foolish). But of course on the buyer's form the dealership had the fee printed on the form, implying that it wasn't negotiable.
Good luck.
I'm not sure Honda Corp has much control over the dealer experience in this type of situation.
Stress your disappointment, and not your anger. I also asked them to be sure that the person who initially came in on the negotiations was not privy to any part of the profit.
If the story happened exactly as described, you have every right to be upset. No excuse for being rude in such a manner. As a Honda salesperson, I apologize for that person's behavior. This makes us all look bad.
Still, there are two sides to every story and I would have liked to listen in on that conversation!
I'm not calling you a liar. I'm just saying we don't know you and spamming the forum doesn't make anyone inclined to listen to you.
I went with a friend to buy her 2004 CRV EX last week at Dick Ide Honda in Rochester New York. She paid 1400 dollars for a Honda Warranty that was 7 year/100,000 miles. Plus if you contact Curry Honda in Massachussets, they will sell you the same warranty after coupons for something like 1050 dollars. If your CRV is going to cost you money, it will likely happen between 90 and a 100K miles.
Good luck with your new wheels. I cant wait for the 2005's so I can get one.

I paid a doc fee of $189 at Planet Honda...but they were $800 cheaper than any other deal I could find.
I got my lowest price from them by a follow up call with an Internet sales person, then negoiated with her, from their. A few days later, after extensive shopping, we settled on the price on the phone. I drove over, and bought the car...painlessly. No ridiculous attempts to bump me up.
Good luck...it's really a great vehicle.
BTW 5% tax.
Try that thread.
I dont know, since Honda hasn't released any pricing let alone much of any else of type of information, what do you think would be a reasonable price?
Yesterday I bought 2004 CR-V LX 2 WD with following options.
1)Door edge guards
2)Front Flash guard
3)Running Boards.
4)Cargo Cover
5)Silencer system (ALarm)
6) Tint
Extended warrant 7 years/100,000 miles (paid: only $1000)
Total drive out including all above...$21,300
I think this is the best what I got.
This may be helpful for new buyers !!!
ANYONE LIKES TO GIVE ME A HINT?
Anyway back to the oil change. When I went in and asked for the free oil change the dealer would not do it unless I got a bunch of other crap such as checking a belt looking at the boots, etc., just absolute crap and wanted to charge $34.00. I said I didn't need any of that I could check it myself and the car is less than a year old so I think the belts are ok. They will not do the oil change for free unless you pay them to look under the hood for a minute or two - total scam - when the salesman tells you "free oil changes for life" tell them you are not interested and that it makes you less likely to buy if they mention it again.
I'm working with 3 dealers and currently have an offer on the table of 22,700 OTD (including 6% sales tax).
Good deal? or should I beat them up a bit more...
Figure now is the time to strike since business in the area has been bad due to string of hurricanes....
Thanks.

FYI. Keep in mind that buying just before the 2005 upgrades will save you a good deal up front and cost you a great deal if you decide to sell (or total it in an accident). So I hope you plan to keep it for a while.
