    My CR-V is entirely made in Japan. It says so on the tag and all the dealers told me so too. I have no idea the quality is better or worse. As long as it doesn't break, I'm happy. ;):)

    I've been making a habit of checking on the inventory of a local dealer (the main lot as well as a "secret" overflow lot). I go by once a week or so, and the supply here is definitely improving. This week, there are 13 CR-Vs on the lot (9 LXs and 4 EXs), which is the most I've seen since they debuted. Incidentally, three were assembled in Saitama, the rest in Ohio.

    I don't know about the prices but at least the supply side of the equation seems to be improving :)

    Have you tried Burns Honda in South New Jersey? They seem pretty good. Or even better Conecelli Honda in Philly out by the airport. I have been car shopping and they sent me some really great prices on the net ;) .

    I've read that Honda is starting to import some of the CR-Vs from Japan in order to meet demand. How can you tell whether a particular vehicle is from Japan or from the states? Can you tell from the Vin? If so, how do you read it?

    Also, any thoughts as to whether the Japan assembled CR-Vs will be any better assembled than the ones here or vice versa?


    The window sticker will have where the car was assembled, where the engine was made. I know you can tell from the VIN since I have read it here before, but darn if I can do it.

    Can't say if it's better or not if manufactured in Japan. You'll hear differing opinions here. That said, after having poor experiences with American made products, I felt some relief, whether justified or not, that my car was fully made in Japan. Sorry american car buyers! :blush:

    Sorry I have not checked for the forum for a while.

    The dealership is HONDA Village in Newton. If you need the salesperson's name or phone # email me at wh_boston@hotmail.com

    I happen to know another dealership named Herb Chamber Honda might have a better deal (Base price for EX AWD for $22300)

    Hope this helps.

    My window sticker says:

    U.S./Canadian Parts Content: 0%
    Major Source of Foreign Parts: Japan 100%
    Country of Origin - Engine: Japan
    Transmission: Japan
    Port of Entry: East Liberty

    Final Assembly Point: East Liberty, OHIO, USA

    Are all parts/Engine/Transmission from Japan, or are some built in U.S.?

    Since everything seems to have come from Japan, but the final assembly was in Ohio, does that make it a Japanese import or a U.S. built CR-V?

    Hey ya'll!! :blush:
    I've gotten 2 local internet, OTD quotes. One not worth negotiating, the other only $300 off MSRP. My in-laws recommended Mike Patton of LeGrange, GA where they bought their 2005 CRv. They quoted me OTD $22,521 for a base EX 2WD. So far, the best deal. Does anyone have any experience/knowledge of this dealership? Tanks!!

    nav46,

    I'm also in the market for a EX-L with nav. Have you heard from anyone else on what the average price people have been paying for that model?

    Raymond,

    Not sure if you already bought but the internet sales reps name was Alin Hanja (ahanja@joycehonda.dealerspace.com) at Joyce Honda in Denville. Feel free to reference the deal. We bought this past Friday the 25th. Good luck.

    Selling price 25,042.00
    Mud Flaps included + 105.00
    Doc fee 180.00
    6% sales tax.
    Title, new plate ~100.00
    OTD = 26952.xx

    They tried to sell all of the extended warranties and add ons, but I passed. I did get a call from another dealer after I put my deposit down stating he would sell me one at or slightly above invoice if I promised not to shop the deal. He would have needed to locate one, however. Too bad he was too late. End of the month is clearly the only time to close the deal. Location = SE Michigan. My first quotes in March were over MSRP!! It pays to shop and not rush into any "deals".

    Helpful tip... If you intend to use a Capital One "Blank Check" to finance... The dealer will not let you take "their" car until the check clears. It typically takes Capital One about 2 weeks to process the loan according to this dealer.

    Cheers.

    I received the quote from dealership in bay area. Lowest price I could get on 2007 CRV EXL 2WD with Navigator is $25,500 + tax + license. Price quote included the destination/delivery charges. Is it good price?

    I would appreciate some feedback from you all on the advantages & disadvantages of 2WD vs AWD. First of all, I live in the D/FW area of Texas. We don't have any hills to speak of, snow occurs infrequently and when it does, it doesn't accumulate. We receive ice/sleet maybe 1-3 times a year.

    Logic tells that the smart choice for my area is 2WD however I'm getting a very enticing deal for an EX AWD.

    I'm in Dallas and all you need is 2WD. There have been some problems w the 4WD differentials. The 2WD is less complex,less weight,less cost,and better mileage. Hope this helps.

    I am trying to purchase a CRV EX-L AWD in NY metro area (westchester) in the next few days. Can you let me know what others are paying here? I got a quote for around 26200 (all charges except taxes+tags) -- but this seemed a bit high. I'll expand my search to more dealers, but what should be a good price to aim for? Thanks.

    Just got one in San Diego for $25199 + tax title.This is about 500 over invoice.Didn't particularly want AWD but
    the price was the same as 2WD.So if I ever want to go where
    road conditions are bad I can. It gives you confidence.
    The best thing so far is XM1 Radio.WOW! +The instantaneous
    readout of MPG keeps you aware of your heavy foot.I hope it
    holds up like my 2004 Highlander has.A quality built piece. :)

    The best quote I've had so far is $23,746 for any EX AWD in stock. Another one is $700 off MSRP.

    What do you guys think of these? How much have you paid for you CRV in the area (trim?)?

    Thanks for the advice.

    Just made a purchase of a FWD LX for $20,500. Tried to get the dealership to lower price on the FWD EX to at least $22.4 (from $22.7) without any luck.

    Since I settled on the LX, does anyone know whether I can install aftermarket fog lights on the LX?

    pktaskepktaske Member Posts: 14
    They go in easy and quick. I got mine on Ebay for ~$60. Also got aftermarket tinting done (darker than factory) for $199 locally. Chrome wheels are on the way. I'm still way better off $$$ than if I got an EX plus, I love thethe way the darker tint/upgraded wheels look. Not your run-of-the-mill CRV.

    Got a Black/Black EX with leather and Nav, 4wd. No dealer options. in Orange County for 26800.

    Most of the Edmund quotes were for 27500 ish. Went into our local Honda Dealer where we bought a 2002 CRV and 2002 Accord and said 200 over invoice. Almost got it.

    I bought a Silver CR-V EX AWD from Heritage Honda, Parkville, MD.

    Price details:
    $24,245 on the road;
    VA sales tax included;
    Accessories: wheel locks, splash guards and pin striping

    Thanks to this board, I discovered Heritage Honda. I live in northern virginia; but the 70 mile trip north was very much worth it; the next lowest quote that I got from a Virginia dealer at the time was about $900 more than what I paid.

    There is one very small issue that I discovered with the car, afterwards. The tailgate latch system makes a clicking noise, just by the touch of it, regardless of whether the door is in open or locked position. The dealer politely asked me to take the vehicle to the nearest Honda dealer and have them take a look at it. Since the issue doesn't really bother a whole lot, I will probably wait until I take the car in a few months, for the first oil change.

    It is a fun car to drive around town for sure!

    I worked with Chuck Tracy from Internet Sales; but I found out that Heritage gives sales guys no room for cutting prices. Another post on this board from a while ago also confirmed that. So you could pretty much talk to anyone there. Here is their contact information:

    Heritage Honda
    9213 Harford Rd
    Parkville, MD 21234

    Hello Friends,
    It has been a few months since I last posted a question or contributed, but I am looking for some feedback on prices paid for the 5 Year or 7 Year Honda Care Warranties on the '07 CRVs. I thought I had seen a posting where someone paid $975 for the 7 Year Coverage, which is a great deal as far as I am seeing in the Phila Metro area. I have bought the 5 Year Warranty on my current and pervious Accord and paid about $1,000. What prices are you seeing for this option lately? We are looking to replace a 99 Civic with the EX-C AWD from a NJ dealer in the next week or so.

    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Hey All,

    Looking for a black EX-L here in Rochester, NY. I was suprised by how many places won't do quotes over the internet/phone; very strange.

    Anyway, I'm looking for an EX-L AWD. Best price quote I have so far is 25.5, not inclusive of TTL. Seems a bit high still with about $800 over invoice (24.7 according to Edmunds). Anyone seen any better deals in the Rochester/Buffalo/Erie/Pittsburgh areas; willing to travel to all of those.

    Thanks!

    I used this website and these boards as my research before buying a new car. I went from Escape to RAV 4 and ended up with the 2007 CRV EX. I couldn't be more pleased. I got 6 different quotes via internet with follow up phone calls. Aeneas Williams Honda in Monroe, LA was the best all around. I paid $22,500 (sticker $23,445), but more than that, these people were the best to do business with. I drove 5 hours to get there and it was certainly worth the trip. We made it a family day and from Baton Rouge, we went through many places for tourists and really enjoyed the trip. I didn't ask for extras as everything on the EX is exactly what I wanted. I got there with a personal check and drove home via Natchez IN MY BRAND NEW CRV EX. What a trip. THANKS TO THIS WEBSITE AND THIS BOARD.

    What does everyone think of this price for a 2WD EX-L (no nav)

    Price with Dest: 24030.52
    Doc Fee: 499
    OTD: 26022.74

    This is the best price I found after emailing about 10 dealers and it's the only dealer that actually has the color I want. I think the 499 doc fee is crazy and will try to get them to remove or reduce it.

    What do you guys think about 23700 (plus tax and docs) for an EX AWD?
    I'm also getting 6.80 APR for 60 months from Capitol One.

    Thanks for your input.

    sailormbsailormb Member Posts: 3
    Financing deal isn't bad; I could get 5.8 pct for 60 months from Honda and my credit union; banks said 7.9 pct. I opted to take out a home equity loan to pay for it over a longer time period; to get the write off on the interest paid (slightly higher interest rate 6.9, but lower monthly payment, something I needed!) My out the door price was 24,100 in FL; something I really had to work on getting!

    Good luck to you!

    Hi All,

    I was wondering if anyone can recommend a honda dealership in the Portland, OR area. If you have names of salespeople, please post them as well.

    Also, does anyone know when the 2008 models will come out. I was wondering whether the deals on 2007 CRV's will be better just before the 2008 models debut. What do you guys think?

    So far I'm ok with Dick Hannah in Vancouver and St John's Honda. I have mostly corresponded through emails and phone calls. A couple of times, I looked at cars at Dick Hannah and I felt high pressure sales tactics and cannot recommend the salespeople I dealt with. But that's probably true for most auto salespeople.

    I purchased my 06 through Dick Hannah and it was easy and they will matched and beat any price. I purchased my 98 Civic and 00 Accord through the one in Gladstone but they have changed hands since. All my dealings were on line never paid more than invoice but on a 07 new model its a different game.

    Thanks. I finally purchased a black/black EX-L AWD with no extra options for 25368 (+taxes+tags) at Brewster Honda a few days ago. No trade in. Financed through Capital One for 6.05%. The online deals for 8 yrs/100K hondacare warranty are tempting. Given the amount of electronics in the car, it may not be a bad idea to take it - hopefully, it will also give me better resale value when I do sell it 5-6 years from now. What do you guys think?

    tomsr1tomsr1 Member Posts: 130
    I did not get it because CR says if you have the money for possible repairs past warranty the insurance is a poor bet.
    I have had HONDA cars since 1978 and 3 things have gone wrong.#1 1980 CIVIC altenator died,#2 1982 Accord wiring
    harness failure (covered).The only other thing was a 2001
    Acura with transmission problems,replaced under warranty.
    On the other hand my sons FORD WINDSTAR's AC crapped out
    at 60K and he had extended warranty,good thing!If this latest HONDA fails me big time I will go HYUNDAI next time.
    I also have a Toyota with 50k on it and basic warranty
    has expired and I will be very surprised if any thing
    goes wrong considering how I baby my cars.But an extended
    warranty buys peace of mind which is priceless.
