I get an offer $22,500 OTD for 2009 CRV LX 4WD from pohanka Honda dealer, is it a good deal?
Thanks,
MD
$26,000 (internet price)
$710 (destination fees)
$150 (doc fee)
$25 (CVR Fee)
$143 (License and titel fee)
Tax (7-8%)
I am also trading in a clunker valued at $4500. So basically I am OTD at around $25,000 for the EXL w/Navi and no other added accessories. Does this sound like a good deal or does anyone think I can get down to $24,000?
In 6 weeks, the 2010 model will be on the lot.
If I am doing this deal, I would not pay more than $26,000 + Tax.
The 2010 CRV will be on the dealer lots in October. Hopefully it will come in before the Cash for Clunkers deal expires!
$26000+Tax looks impossible.
Invoice for EXL w Navi with desitination charge is $27629.
Invoice minus $1200 was the best deal I could get.

Is it continental tire??
I had to replace the tires at 35,000. I checked and the manufacture did not warranty the tires for a certain mileage but said they should last three years. When I went to replace my tires, I found that the tire for the CR-V is a unique tire, it is not used by many other vehicles. There are only three tires made to fit this vehicle: Contientals, Bridgestones, and Michelins, so the tire prices are expensive.
I choose the Michelin Latitude with a 65,000 warranty for around $200 each. I have read these will not get anywhere near the mileage that are warranted for but the person who said they had this tire, said Michelin prorated his new tires. I am hoping when I need a new set they will do the same for me.
Your Bridgestons wore out quickly.
What about your Michelin? Are you satisfied with them?
I wonder the other OEM tire, Continental, is better than Bridgestone.
From what I understand, even Edmunds may not have enough info (sales) at that point to give a TMV.
What is the speculation on what Honda will modify with the 2010 model versus the 2009? I've seen the supposed picture of the front end online. What I am really wondering about is the likelihood that Honda might boost the horsepower of the engine in the EX or the EXL lines (similar to what they do with the Accord). If the EX or EXL made, say, 190 HP, that would be a big draw for us (as would a shiftable automatic). Thanks all.
Why not a full manual or full automatic.
Isn't the idea of automatic so that the driver does not get involved? And perhaps can indulge in other activities, such talking or texting on the cell phone, smoking cigarettes.cigars, eating and drinking, reading a book....?
Even with 190 HP, automatic/manumatic is going to be slower than a 160 hp powered CR-V with a full manual with clutch.
My '07 came with Continentals. Had to be replaced at 30K miles.
After nixing RAV4 because of low availability, didn't love it, and no movement off sticker, I thought I'd have better luck with my favorite Honda dealership. Same deal... a good amount for my trade in but otherwise sticker making the payment more then $100 more then our current car and way out of our comfort range.
All that being said, we REALLY liked the CRV EX. It's everything we need in a daily. They've done some minor, but nice updates since the 08's we last looked at, the center stack and stereo are much more integrated now. The entire car feels very buttoned down and solid. Drives great, everyone has plenty of room.
The LX was only mildly cheaper but took away a lot of the niceties that made the CRV so appealing to us. (moonroof, alloys, etc)
We drove straight over to Subaru and drove the same Forester 2.5X Premium 5-speed that I drove last week. Coming directly out of the CRV, the Forester felt cheap and sounded rough. Interior space was noticeably tighter as well. Coupled with a terrible sales person there was no way were buying it. My wife was totally unimpressed.... we didn't even bother talking numbers.
So the net net is that we really did like the CRV but not quite enough to spend the money on it yet. Champagne tastes, beer budget.
Looks like I'll be buying a good seat cover for the Accord and holding pat a while longer. The Land Cruiser will pull doggy duty when I need to move both dogs at the same time.
Every dealer says the same thing, Cash 4 Clunkers has been so successful that their stock is low and they can get full price. This stinks for those of us who aren't participating in the program.
The best offer we got was $27,085 including destination, before C4C and have to wait for it to arrive in our desired color combination. Any dealers with a black/black EX-L w/ Navi in CT/NY won't touch it.
If I had $26K before C4C I'd jump on it in an instant. Did they add any junk/prep/ fees?
Good luck.
i got a internet price for 2009 honda cr-v exl 4wd for 26,552 @ richmond,va. Is it good deal or need to wait for some time, what is best time to buy ??
cash price 22 600 (before taxes and registration) - very quick no bs transaction.
Question : do you think it's a good car for teenage girl driver ??
civic lxs 16500 incl dest
crv lx 4wd 20500 incl dest
what do u all think?
Car is physically too low for my old arthritic bones.
Just bought a 2009 CRV LX 2WD, with clunker trade. Cost me $18,900 out the door, from Hall Honda, in Virginia Beach Can get in and out of it easily. Provides me the room I need for my lifestyle. Don't expect to get anywhere near the Civic gas mileage.
Let me tell you, C4C has made new car shopping a huge pain. Every dealer in my area has minimal inventory and what they do have, they aren't moving on price with. Every one of them says it's because of C4C which has been wildly successful for dealerships.
I'm still hoping to buy this fall, hopefully a nicely discounted leftover 09 when the '10's hit the lots.
2010s should be in in about four-six weeks, if you can wait.
My question is this: Will the Edmunds TMV and Kelly Blue Book price change considerably when the 2010 come out or is this taken into consideration in the current price?
In other words, what is a good price to pay now?
Thanks.
(I am still on original front brake pads.)
People on Edmunds "love to hate" Bridgestones and post statements like: "Yesterday I changed my Bridgestones to Continentals. What a difference!"
I would say "Yesterday I changed my Bridgestones to Bridgestones . What a difference!" Of course when you change old tires to new ones you would feel "difference!” So I decided not to gamble.
All in all, with 6 years and 115K on my odometer I had to (apart from regular maintenance) replace oxygen sensor and ETS. Otherwise all was o.k.
I also have a slight engine noise, which sounds like a valve noise. They checked the valves but they were o.k. Dealer said not to worry.
Not bad comparing to my another car Volvo S70 1999 which I also bought new. This car is a disaster with 80K on odometer. Most troubles were with electronics.
Next year or so I will probably buy another CRV.
BUT:
What I do NOT like with new CRV's.:
1. No full spare tire,
2. No tire well space below where I keep some junk out of site,
3. No cassette drive - I have some old records which I like.
4. No retractable shelf between seats and no collapsible table in the back.
5. Big wheels and small (' bicycle') tires. I would prefer small wheels and big tires. See - I am not participating in car races with my CRV, but, like all of us, I do have lots of potholes on roads.
What I do like:
1. Bigger thigh room,
2. Audio system sounds much better. DVD for kids might be a good idea (They do not gaze at the windows anymore - they are living in a ' virtual' world. When I was a kid - I enjoyed looking around while my father drove a car).
3. Leather seats and heaters come standard. - In 2003 I ordered them “after market”.
Bottom-line: Looks like there is no alternative to CRV. I tried RAV and Subaru but did not like ‘em.

Strategies for negotiating on 2009 models?
How much are dealers willing to drop their prices on 2009?
Or should one just wait for the 2010's?
I'd wait another week or two and test the waters on the last remaining '09's.
2009 CRV LX = $23,134.30
2009 CRV EX = $25,585.44
2009 CRV EX-L = $28,329.99
These are OTD prices with 6% sales tax and I presume $599 doc fee. I was told inventory is low in the south-east. Having said that, they had a new batch in today. I even test drove the black/black LX 2WD, which is my preference.
What are your thoughts?
I test drove one today and liked it. A little underpowered, but acceptable. However with a full load, maybe that will be more noticeable?
