Where in Florida ? i am in South Florida - looking for an EX.
Thanks !
Thought HOnda would be alittle better, but found out just alittle
I'm glad I asked about anything "extra" that I could possibly be charged for and boy was I glad I did! $900 extra as a matter of fact. The salesman was actually very surprise at how knowledgeable I was about the accessories. He even tried the "its under warranty" trick...I asked him how is having a rubberized mat going to help me with my warranty?
The $900 was dealer add-on for:
-window tint (I believe for the front window??)
-pinstripping the car
-all-season floor mats
-cargo tray (the mat for the back)
-Front splash guard
I told him that the mats, tray & splash guard would cost me about $200 online. So why am I paying xtra $700 for? Just for a tint and pinstripes (it's already on the car)??!!! He still didn't believe me when I told him that I can get the splash guard for $19.80, so he went online and saw for himself. AFter that he believed me on the rest of the accessories.
Anyway, we got the accessories plus tint & pinstripe for total of $450 ($200 for the mat, tray, guard and about $250 for tint & pinstripe), but I feel that I'm overpaying for the tinting and pinstripes and I don't know how to negotiate a better price. :sick:
I guess what I'm getting at is I want a good deal, but I also know that I need to be realistic...so the question everyone is how much of these is really up for negotiation? How can I negotiate a better price?
Now I know what is "added-on" like the tint & pinstripe, I'm going to try one more time for another dealer's quote and see if its more real. :confuse:
Current price quote: 2010 Honda CRV EX-L w/o Navigation (Titanium/Black)
24,356.46
710.00
add-on 450.00
subttl $25,516.46
OTD $27,357.58
One more question: Is it normal for one county or city to charge titling fee different?
Price: $23657 with destination
Doc Fee: $152
Registration: $144
Sales Tax: 8.25%
I think one should go based on the base price plus destination, as doc fee, registration and taxes vary from state to state.
Hope this helps.
By the way, it's a polished metal metallic. Had to wait for a week to get this color.
20,885 for 2010 CRV LX 2WD, had choice of many colors, miles on odometer 7
before anyone asks, yes, taxes, tags, dealer fees, rubber mats, it's all included in the price as it is an Out The Door price
S.Florida
I want to let you also know that I did talk to alot of dealerships and one of worst ones is Howdy Honda and Cleo Bay. They don't take you serious and show little respect for their customers. You can definitely get the best deal at Gunn honda b/c their employees are NOT commision-based. They are salaried and are the #5 store in the nation.
If you want to learn more please feel free to message me. Hope this helps.
I am in the same boat comparing between LX-P and CRV LX (AWD). I live in Philly and considering the dealers from NJ to VA (Fairfax) to see if I can get a good quote. IF you don't mind me asking, which dealer did you get your quote from ?
One other thing is have you found out if there s a way to avoid paying destination fees( in short have you read if anyone is able avoid paying it)
Should I negotiate through internet quotes?
Any help is appreciated. Not a great negotiator. How can I find out what delaer paid for the car and then offer a reasonable profit above that?
First go to http://www.edmunds.com/ and click on TMV or True Market Value. This will give you an idea of what others are paying in your area but don't use this number as the lowest point, just use it as a reference.
Then, email 3-4 dealers and ask them for their best price for what you want. It seems to me that the larger dealers are the ones who have more bargaining leeway.
Then, take the lowest offer from one and email another and say, I got this offer from dealer X, can you beat it? Once you get a lower offer go back to the others and do the same. You will be amazed how they respond and you will soon realize where the padding is. Be prepared for them to balk and if they do just go to the next one. When I thought I was closer to a fair price I then went in to talk to them. It has worked out well for me since I don't like face to face negotiations but I don't want to be a push over.
i wanted to find out did 2010 crv got less noisy and more quieter than 2009 and this question can be answer people who drove 2009 and 2010 before making decision on their crv.
looks like a great price, BTWm does it has Navi?
can you please give a break up of your OTD price? Taxes and fees differ from state to state, I want to know the vehicle price for me to negotiate in CA?
Thanks
As we were on our way to the dealership to pick up the vehicle I had another local dealer offer invoice + all season mats, wheel locks, mud flaps (about a $175 value). Since we were were pulling in to pick up our car we said thanks but no thanks to the offer.
There has to be some dealer money on the 2010, but I couldn't find anything. Once the 2.9% can out they moved quickly off $1000 over invoice to invoice -$200 deals.
The above post has an EXL w/NAVI for $26,200...that's a steal for an AWD, grab it!
The two dealers were Brewster and New Rochelle Honda in NY
Specific to your question, I drove the new car home and said to my wife it was quieter than the 09' we test drove a few times. I'd try to confirm they added additional sound deadening materials...I actually don't know.
Is the price you quoted for a 4WD? Did you have any luck with getting a better price than what you quoted above?
Tell me what if anything was added on the vehcile or is the $27001 factory spanking bare?? My OTD quote is $27,352 but it has the add-on of tint, pinstripe, all season mat, cargo tray, and splash guard thrown in (they lowered the add-on price to $450, but I still feel like I was taken advantage of somehow).
Also, what do you think of the color? I saw it and it was like a love & hate relationship. One moment the color was like melted chocolate, the next moment I'm reminded of a big brown blob ... lol :P
Did you get the interior colors as beige or all black?? I wasn't able to (yet) see a CRV with beige leather (just cloth) and even my kid thought the cloth beige looked kind of yellowish. Anyhow, if you could let me know what you walk out with...maybe I might re-consider Frank Kent's offer. Thanks!
Rear doors, cargo, and hatch are tinted from the factory on the EX and EX-L.
Did the dealer tint the front door windows?
Otherwise, they are selling you somehting that is standard on the car.
When i asked to clarify, dealers said, $26,200 is for EX-L but No navi.
I dont understand, I see some posts here for EX-L without navi for as low as $24800 + ... does that mean just a navigation system costs $2.5k more ??? or is there anything more to the vehicle with Navi?
Now that you ask it does seem like alot of money ($250+) just front 2 front doors and pinstripe...huh?? The rest of the accessories was about right even if I bought it from a 3rd party online (I had already priced it from bernardiparts.com & HandA.com).
$25,356 - CRV EXL w/o Nav includes destination charge
$ 544 - Administrative Fees
$ 655 - Accessories
$26,555 - Total OTD
I am trading my 2008 Honda Odyssey EXL-R for $27,000. The accessories above include the all weather floor mats and cargo tray, fog lights w/installation and the installation of my tow base plate (labor only) for pulling with my motorhome. The administrative fees includes the doc fees, tag transfer and some extra I included for the base plate installation.
I think the $24800 pricing people are seeing is for a FWD, not an AWD. The best price I've been given so far for an 2010 EX-L AWD without nav is $26,700 in Pennsylvania. I'm still shopping lots of vehicles and haven't decided for sure on a CR-V so I haven't tried getting it lower yet.
This is in SF Bay Area.
There are others;
-Steering wheel mounted NAVI and phone controls
-6 d-sc changer in the center console (to accommodate the NAVI)
-Digital audio card reader
My wife won't go for a portable NAV unit, and waited for the bluetooth to be integrated from the factory.

I installed Pioneer AVIC F700Bt in the CR-V. It has AM/FM/XM/Sirius/HD/CD/MP3/DIVX/XVID/USB/Bluetooth/Voice Commands/GPS... I got it from Amazon for $400 shipped. Added the XM tuner and PAX steering wheel controls adapter ( to make Pioneer understand Honda steering wheel controls commands) for $120 from Crutchfield.
A lot cheaper than the $2000+ Honda charges, and I can run any firmware on it.
Its been 7 weeks since purchase. is that sent by dealer or honda
I live in PA, KOP area and I have 2 offers for a 2010 EX-L AWD, one from Baltimore area for $26369 +tax / tags and another from local area dealer for $26469 + tax/tags.
happy wife = happy husband.
