It seems like it varies quite a lot from one region of the US to another (based on people's postings).
Thanks.
I did use peoplefirst to bargain the dealer down to a 4.39%apr. They had it set at 5.74% until I pulled out the peoplefirst check and my fico score

Can somebody recommend a dealer who has good PRICE on the CR-V in Virginia or Maryland?
Thanks!
I spent about a month in negotiations on line and in person at about 7 different dealers. Some of them wouldn't budge at all below MSRP saying that they sell CRVs even before cars come in, which was true given the fact that I couldn't see any CRVs among hundreds of Accords and Civics. The best deal I've got before I contacted Commonwealth was $700 below MSRP from Honda of Boston after an hour of haggling-I personly don't recommand this dealership and Cambridge Honda. They were very snotty).
But when I called Commonwealth and said(more correctly 'lied') to them that I've got a deal at $1200 below MSRP from some place else and would go up there if they can give it at $1500 below, they agreed right away. No negotiations, no haggling. In fact, I did this to another dealer and told, 'that's a great deal. go ahead and take it while it last'.
Any way, the dealer at commonwealth was very nice and things went very smooth. Only thing was I had wait 4 weeks since they didn't have any.
Here is one money saving tip. DO NOT BUY ACCESSORIES FROM DEALERS!
The price is highly inflated-some of them are as much as 100% more expensive than MSRP. One dealer even confested to me that they make more money on accessories than cars. Anyway, instead go to http://www.handa-accessories.com/ or http://www.collegehillshonda.com/ and order them on-line. They are much, much cheaper and you can also get things that they don't carry in the dealerships like rear parking mirror, color matched spare tire cover, auto-dimming rear view mirror, touch paints etc. I bought cargo cover, moonroof visor, window visor, spare tire cover at almost half of dealer's price. Don't worry about installation. They come with detailed manuals and if you can replace a light bulb, you can do it.
We are considering buying a EX CR-V automatic in Phoenix, Arizona.
Any information on price paid and dealer experiences and overall experience with CRV would be great.
Thanks..

I am looking to buy an 03, CR-V EX 4WD in the next six months or so. I am 2.5 hours from San Diego and Phoenix. If anyone has had any good experiences from any dealers in those areas please let me know! The town I live in is limited, and I feel that I would get a better deal in an area that has more competition. I talked to my local Honda dealer, and he gave me a load of crap from the start..... So, in the meantime my husband and I are selling our 92 Landcruiser and 95 Civic with plans on purchasing a new CR-V in the near future!!
I can't wait!!!
Thanks to anyone that can help!!!
I ordered the 2WD LX in Eternal Blue with a couple of additional options installed by Huggins Honda.
True to their word, they are charging me $100 over invoice($18,023.36 + TT&L). Their "internet price" is between $300 - $800 cheaper than any other dealer in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Only one other dealer in Dallas had this vehicle in Eternal Blue in stock, but the price and 1.5 hour travel time seemed too much for me.
I am looking forward to driving the vehicle once it arrives in 7 - 10 days. I hope this is true, as my totalled(from hail) car's A/C has just stopped working
I said " I am ready to lease a Honda CRV EX auto. I am looking for 12k per year miles, 48 month term, no money down, no security fee, no acquistion fee, no termination fee. I am ready to move now"
In the next 24 hours I had over 10 responses. No one gives you the skinny first shot. So you have to do your homework. The list for an EX auto is $22.8k. The Edmund's TMV is 21.9k. That was my target. Cap cost-residual/term is capital cost. (Cap cost+residual)*money factor is interest. Money factor is interest rate divided by 2400. Add taxes in your area. Mine are 10%. Add. For my goal, this yielded $300/month.
Everyone started at $330-350 per month. A couple phone calls, fax, email per party yielded $305 offer. I signed up. Got the color I wanted. Drove one home on Thursday.
You too can do it!
I said I think I will wait for the 2004 models strictly for resale reasons. Honda doesn't have any incentives on these 2003 models so there's no point rushing to get one now. He said he agreed with me and with a longer lead time I probably could pick the color I want. I want a EX in Chianti Red or Satin Silver.
I asked him about the standard discount on the CR-V and he rather looked at me like I said something naughty. Anyway, he whispered to me that they are giving $500-700 off MSRP generally. Of course, I have a feeling I would have to pay sticker for a 2004 come August.
The sales guy said that they can't get enough CR-Vs to sell. The dealership told a risk a couple months ago by buying extra CR-Vs (AWD models) from dealers down South and having them shipped back to the NE. Because the dealership sold their normal allocation as well as these additional vehicles, they are now receiving a larger allocation from Honda.
Anybody know what changes are going to be introduced in the 2004 model?
Will these arrive in September or later?
Thanks!

Your final price looks high after you add all options and extended warranty. Not sure why you need the extended warranty on the CRV.
Congratulations!!
I am in the market for a CR-V LX (2WD) in New York City. Can anybody recommend a dealer with a good price in the NYC metropolitan area? What did you pay for your CR-V?
Thanks a bunch!
You could have saved a few dollars on the accessories by buying them on the internet. You could have also saved more by buying the warranty directly from Honda, instead of from the dealer.
At http://www.hondawarranty.com the price for a 7 year/100,000 mile/zero deductible Honda extended warranty is $1,040. That's good for any CR-V purchased after 05/19/2001 with less than 24,000 miles on the odometer.

I hear if people getting these vehicles for around invoice and would buy one in a second if any of these dealers would budge. I'd like to get a black CRV EX with 5-speed for around $20,000 or less--they MSRP for $22,060. Any ideas? These dealers will not give an inch and one dealer actually said it's not even worth their time talking to me if I want a deal on one.
Thanks for any info!
I could only manage about $800 below MSRP. Depends on the market in Boston.
For what you're getting, even MSRP is quite reasonable IMO.
Note to theracoon:
You can't buy the warranty direct from Honda. Hondawarranty.com is run by a dealer in the Northeast. That said, they do have the best prices on the Hondacare extended warranty.

Does anyone have any experience with 1SourceAutoWarranty for extended warranty at http://1sourceautowarranty.com/ ? Good or bad? They offer "wear and tear" coverage rather than just "breakdown or failure" of parts.
Any other extended warranties anyone can recommend, other than dealer or direct from Honda? Being a Honda, it probably doesn't need it but I would like to see my options and costs.
This is my first post. I've been reading various discussions since last December and brushing up on knowledge of the vehicle before making the actual purchase. Thanks to all who have provided useful info here.
You may be able to get it at closer to invoice now. I am not sure if I am allowed to give the Mass discount club email address or phone # here but it is not one of the supermarket discount stores.
I'm at the worksheet-offers stage on an '03 LX AT AWD with no options, not inc. tax and DMV. MSRP inc. destination on this should be 20,560. TMV should be 19,797, I'm at 19,800. Given the season (not winter) and the location (northeastern USA), is this figure about right? Am I missing anything? Can people who've done some homework before buying do better than TMV? I've only got three local dealers to work with.
Thanks for an informative board. I've been reading it avidly.

I am in Wilmington, Delaware
Dealer initially refused to go under $22,000 so I walked out and called other dealers in the state. Called back the same dealer and asked if they wanted to sell for the lowest offer I got on the phone. They initially refused but later called me and sold the CRV I wanted.
I was able to get my CRV before they were able to jack up the price with sealants, etc.
Anyone in the Chicago area should look up the web site for Grand Honda. They have some of the lowest prices I have seen: $20,095 for a CRV EX.
I hope this helps those out there looking for a new car.
INKY
Base price: $20,690
Destination: $460
Extended warranty: $1180
Total: 22,330
+ Mass sales tax, doc fee of $150, and registration.
The dealer started by offering MSRP. We presented an internet offer from another dealership for 21,360 which included destination. He agreed to match that price but REFUSED to go lower, just trying to wear us out. We played it cool and a couple hours later he asked if we'd consider 21,200. We agreed we'd leave and have dinner to think it over if we could not get him down to 21,100. . . so we got up to go and then he started bringing out the "extras". . . We were interested in the warranty anyway so negotiated that down from $1880 to $1180 and the base price down to 21,150. All financed at 4.2% (also had to do some haggling for that).
All told we spent 5 hrs. at the dealership but got exactly what we wanted, at a price we're happy with, on a vehicle that's hard to find in this area.
Sounds like a good deal...which dealer did you buy from?
Purchased Honda Cr-V LX from South Honda Motors in Miami with following breakdown-
Delivered price of unit 17,912.42
Waste fee 6.50
Dealer fee 499.00
taxes 1155.08
transfer of tag 127.00 TOTAL OUT THE DOOR $ 19700.00
I hope the information helps-
