We got the 8 yr/120k mile extended warranty when we bought our 2WD EX earlier this month. The paperwork they offered us had a price of $1999 for that warranty. I had a quote from Bernardi Honda on-line for $1074. The dealer (which happended to be the bricks and morter Bernardi Honda dealership) did match the on-line quote. Anyway, I've read on this forum that you have either 30 or 60 days to cancel the extended warranty. If you go to the Bernardi website (www.bernardiautogroup.com) they will email you a quote on the warranty. If its less, then you can cancel the one you bought and buy from Bernardi on-line.
I hope that is helpful!!
I am looking for LX AWD, and live in CT. Could you please share the name of the Long Island dealer that offered you that price? thanks in advance,
Max
I went with my daughter today to buy a 2006 LX AWD CRV...negotiated a price of $19,375 and that included destination.
Sloan Honda in Philadelphia...
ps...I'm a woman and Love "the game"
Total out the door price was $22772.60 (no trade-in)
The sad part is that alot of dealers still dont understand what internet buyers expect. I want the best price upfront, instead they call me, reply with useless emails, etc.. I looked through this forum and gathered info on purchase prices for the car I was looking to buy. Yet one of the dealers tried to convince me that those prices are impossible and must be wrong or for different trims. Even after I told him I got a car at my offering price, he sad that its not possible :surprise:
Good luck to all buyers. These forums are the best research tool one can ask for, make sure you post your buying experience
This is a good time to buy with the dealer incentives and their needing to make room on the lots for the 2007s when they come in.
1. No power seats
2. No built in garage door remote
3. The leather seats could be of higher quality and style, but I guess it fits the overall "class" of the car.
Can't help with 1.
2, garage door opener from Acura CL/TL and ODdysey and probably accord fits the overhead light spot, gives you the lights and garage door opener.
3. Those are pleather seats with leather incerts, not leather seats.
2006 CRV SE $23,200
Documentation fee $95.00
Sales tax 7%
After we settled on the price above we discussed my trade. I got what I wanted for the trade so I am very pleased with the deal and the experience. I also received 3.9% thru Honda finance and I applied for the loan thru the Honda website BEFORE I went shopping. From start to finish we were in the dealership less than two hours.
Once we were in the finance office they did try to sell us the extended warranty, gap insurance, payoff insurance, and roadside assistance. I said no to all of them and signed the paperwork.
My advice to those shopping: use the internet to solicit bids, be ethical in your handling of the bids, and read this forum!!
Thanks again,
Jeremy

I'm in west MA. I inquired three dealerships about Honda Ex 4WD AT. They provided me the invoice around $22500. However, I still feel it's higher than what I have learned online.
I appreciate your comments.
1. The steering seems a little bit stiff when making local road turns - (we drove camry and other small suv before and it was lighter to turn.)
2. Going over bumps, we were able to feel it distinctly (again we have a camry and it feels like going over a cloud).
Is this NORMAL?
I'm not the best person to answer your first question. Our other vehicle is an Odyssey, and I don't remember feeling that stiffness when test driving the CRV vs. the Rav4. However, I've seen others on this forum mention that.
Re: bumps -- yes, that is normal. I definitely feel the road in my 2006 CRV 2WD EX...and I felt the bumps a lot when I first drove the car. I've gotten used to it and so I hardly notice it now. I've had my car for a few weeks. I will say that when I test drove the Camry, I felt more like the car was floating over the road...and I felt as if I had less control over the car. My dad's Lexus is like that too. I feel as if I get more feedback from the road in my mom's Accord. So maybe its a Honda vs. Toyota thing too??? Just my 2 cents.
...but you should know that I LOVE my new CRV!!
OH, one more thing...if you are in the Boston area (redsox111 ), we bought ours at Bernardi in Natick. We also went to Boch and had a horrible experience. ...just an fyi...

That is just the difference between Honda and Toyota. Toyota isolates the driver from the vehicle, kidn of like a domestic car does. Honda on the other hand, gives you constant feeback on what is going on. Some prefer driving vehicles that feel like a couch, and some prefer the sporty feeling that Honda offers.
Would I ever drive a Toyota, probably not.
I recently either read an article or watched a consumer report on tv (can't remember which) warning again the independent third party extended warranties and recommending that if you are going to get an extended warranty, you only want to buy the one offerred by the manufacturer. We bought our CRV EX last month, and we went with the HondaCare extended warranty. One of the dealers we visited, and almost bought from, tried to sell us an independent extended warranty rather than the HOndaCare because teh dealership owned an interest in the warranty company. He got very nasty when we asked him about the HondaCare product instead. Anyway, we did go with the HondaCare 120k 8 yr extended warranty. The dealership quoted us 1999, but we had a quote on-line (oddly enough from a different division of the same dealership) for $1074. The only difference between the two warranties was that at the end of the 8 yrs, if we hadn't used the extended warranty for anything, we could "request" a refund of the 1999. We respectfully declined that option and went with the $1074 price. If you look through the forums, you can find several places to buy the HondaCare warrnty on-line. We bought it through Bernardi (www.bernardiautogroup.com) which is also the dealer from whom we ultimately got our car. Hope this helps...

Anyway, here's what the local dealer quoted me for this month:
CRV EX 4WD AT - $21,305
CRV SE 4WD AT - $22,980
Thanks
Hope this helps.
This is great price! But, 2WD SUV's in New England is like air conditioners in Alaska. Kind of defeats the purpose of an SUV. Other than that, it is great price.
BTW....I do not know why people think that driving 4WD is a must in New England area. For your information 80% of the vehicles on road here are 2WD. I have been living here for last 6 years and have been driving a Toyota Corolla for my daily commute to work. I never felt that I should buy a 4WD vehicle. I have seen 4x4 trucks lying stuck on roadside, while I never had any such incident happening to me. I recenly sold my Corolla to buy this 2WD CRV. My other vehicle is a 2WD Sienna, which we primarily use for family purpose.
So in my opinion this is is a wrong assumption people carry that you must have a 4WD vehicles to live in New England area.
I bought my CRV EX 2WD last month. I am also in New England and I too went to Boch. The experience my husband and I had there was AWFUL!!! We too had gone to buy one of the promotional cars. The salesman was rude. The floor manager was rude. The financing guy was rude. We had a trade-in to consider. They needed the keys and registation to determine what they thought it was worth. My husband had to demand the return of the keys and registration because after they had determined how much they would offer us on the trade, the saleman had handed both the keys and registration off to the sales manager. Also, we had wanted a specific color CRV...which they said they had...and told us it was on an adjacent lot. We told them we wouldn't sign anything until we had seen the car. It took them an hour and a half (no joke) to bring the car around. ...and this was on a Monday morning where we were the only customers in a very large showroom...with many sales people just standing around. After we finally had a "deal" on the table, we went to talk to the financing guy. We asked about an extended warranty. He pulled out the information and showed us that the warranty had two levels. He gave us the price on the more expensive version. When we asked what the difference was, he said he wasn't sure because he always sells the more expensive one. Then we wanted to confirm that it was the HondaCare warranty and not some other company. In response to that inquiry he told us that it wasn't the HondaCare warranty but it was a warranty that they sold because they had an interest in it (translate...they make more money on...). When we asked about the HondaCare warranty, he said that they do sell it, but he didn't even know the codes and made a face as if we had asked him to lift and move the car. It was unbelievable. Anyway, we took the paperwork and got up and left the dealership without buying the car. We simply didn't trust them at all. We went to Bernardi Honda in Natick Mass. We were treated respectfully and although the deal wasn't quite as good as the one at Boch, with the difference in what we got for the trade at Bernardi, the difference was small...and we were much happier with that dealership.
Hope that helps!!
The 2007 will be a redesigned model based on the new Civic and is expected to be out in August/September. Based on the spy pictures, it reminds me of a Toyota Matrix (ie. lower, wider, and less SUV looking). Not interested.
Anyway, here's what the local dealer quoted me for this month:
CRV EX 4WD AT - $21,305
CRV SE 4WD AT - $22,980
price(19,665)
Dealer.Fee(299)
TAX(1180)
Lemon.Law(3)
Transfer.plate(85)
I did offer them that price in the beginning no question ask like deal or no deal.
they took my deal. that make me feel I over price.

Sorry if I might sound like a broken record, but as noted a few times before, you'd be able to get those for about half the price form any of the stores that sell Genuine Honda parts online. All of your preferences are quite easy to install, so you don't need to pay extra for the dealer to do that. Mud guards I got from H&A for under $50 w/shipping and took about 10 min to put on.
Hope this helps.
