    It's hard to figure why some cars attract a lot of buying talk and other don't (i.e., the Ford Escape is like the Fit - not much action).

    Here's a recent Fit post and sometimes just posting in a dead discussion yourself will cause a lurker or two to hop in.

    I'll assume 36 months as you didn't specify.

    .00160 and 61% for either 36 or 39 months and 12,000 miles for both FWD and AWD

    Hello all

    Wanted to share my experience. 

    Followed advice from folks here and mass emailed every dealer in Socal. Several never responded some played ball some met my asking price for a 2015 CRV Ex-L of 26,200

    My tax title license my out the door was 28895 I was lucky in the sense they had mudguards and came with wheel locks due to dealership transfer. 

    My logic is price was under invoice by 100 many dealers said no to this. I think it's okay but they tried to sell all sorts of magic to you and a document fee of 80 which I had them reduce the car price so they can include it. They offered extended warranty and alarm system and lo jack for 2500 more which was heavily discounted but I didn't budge on what I wanted to pay.  Got a 1.5 apr from credit union which is better than what is being currently offered but they may have matched if I got all their extras... All in all it was straight to the point I don't think I lowballed and don't think I got suckered Honda world in Downey if anyone wants to deal with them. Let me know if I got punked or if it was good deal.

    I wanted to send a big thanks to everyone who helped me decide about the 2015 CRV Touring AWD. We got the car yesterday. No problems at the dealership even the Finance guy was nice. Truly I have to say a wonderful experience at Honda of Chantilly VA. Worth the ride. My salesman was Mike Waters--he was outstanding. I wish they were closer to where I live.

    Even the service department was nice and super clean. It is a brand new dealership since last March 2015. So in the end I got the CRV Touring AWD for $31,110 before all the taxes, DMV, dealer processing fee, and destination fee. I would highly recommend them. After we got the car we spent about 1 hour with the car specialist Andy and he showed us all the technology in it. (We have not bought a car since 2006). A lot has changed.

    Thanks again!!!! You guys and girls have been wonderful! It is truly appreciated!!!

    In case anyone wants to know this is the rough break down of the cost of the 2015 CRV Touring AWD in Blue

    Car: $31,110
    Destination: $880
    Processing: $599 (VA is very high)
    Tags: $62.75 (1 yr DMV Titling, etc)
    Taxes: $1,375.25 (I think it is 4.14%? and VA has a business gross tax of .03%)
    Total: $34,027 OUT THE DOOR PRICE

    I got 1.49% for 36 months from Pentagon Federal Credit Union - great to work with. Gave me a blank check for up to $30K. No penalties for early pay off.

    Congrats! Hope you got the blue one you wanted.

    Please submit a Dealer Review when you get a few minutes. Thanks.

    Yes we got the Blue. It is very cool. In the sun it looks different as it has metallic in it so if you look close it looks like there is blue glitter kinda of in it. Very nice looking car. When I was driving home for the first time I did feel like people were looking at the car--maybe because it was so shiny and new! ;)

    Thanks again!

    I was doing some playing with numbers this evening. I have been looking at CR-V’s for some time now, both 2014 and 2015 models. I am pretty much only interested in the LX model (I don’t like a sunroof, steals too much headroom). I do prefer the 2015 model, I can tell the difference with the new Direct Injection motor and the CVT transmission.

    I am assuming, based on what I have been reading here, that I can get the 2014 for about $2,000 under invoice, and the 2015 right at invoice. And the invoice is about $300 more on the 2015, so that one will come in about $2,300 higher, plus sales tax, my spread sheet has the 2014 at $21,865 out the door, and the 2015 at $24,313 out the door. This is a difference of $2,448.

    Next, I used Edmunds to look up used car prices. I looked up a 2011 CR-V and a 2012 CR-V, both the LX model, both with 24,000 miles (about what I would drive in 3 years). I listed the condition as outstanding as I tend to take good care of my cars. The 2011 would have a trade-in value of $15,639 , and the 2012 would have a trade-in value of $16,895. The difference is $1,256. If I pay $2,448 more to get the one year newer model, keep it 3 years and 24k miles, then I will get back $1,256 of the $2,448 difference. So it will cost me $1,192 more to own the 2015 over the 2014.

    Looking at financing, 20% down, 1.99% rate for a 48 month loan, I would need about $500 more for the down payment, and the monthly note would be about $42 more.

    I’m beginning to think the motor and transmission aren’t that much better. But I’m still thinking …

    How's the inventory in your area for 2014s? I just spot checked a few areas (Houston, Ohio, Las Cruces) and there are few in stock, and most seem to be EX-Ls. There's ~45 LEs within 100 miles of LAX.

    The closest dealer to me is out of the base model, LX. They have a good many EX and EX-L models, more 2014's than 2015's. The next dealer over (about 12 miles) still has 6 2014 LX models. Most dealers here in Houston have more total 2014's than 2015's, although the base model is getting thin on the ground. So far, in my limited dealership visits (only the two mentioned above), they are not exactly what I would call "honest" dealers. Every new car on their lot seems to have "dealer addons", nitrogen filled tires, tinted windows, etc.

    I have found this practice so prevalent that I now mostly ignore it. I make my offer totally ignoring the "magic nitrogen", and refuse to give any consideration price-wise to anything that is not on the official factory window sticker. This has changed my negotiating tactics. I used to start with the sales price of the vehicle, and only switch to negotiating the bottom line when I encountered ridiculous "doc fees" and "inventory tax". These days, you pretty much have to start your negotiations with the bottom line or OTD. "How much would I have to write a check for to take this home?"

    This past Friday, at a Honda dealer, they had a 2014 EX-L NAVI parked directly in front of the showroom entrance, up on the walkway area so you had to pass it to get in the door. There was a big sign on the front windshield, "$25,500". When I stopped to look at it, the small print on the sign said:

    +TT&L
    +dealer installed options

    The "dealer installed options" amounted to an additional $1,200.

    Congrats on Getting the Blue color. We looked at that color in Touring model but couldn't find any in Cincinnati, OH area.

    I bought a White 2015 Touring AWD model. Overall Cost was 31,650 including Destination, this is the cheapest we could get. He added 200 more for splash guards and wheel locks

    I go back and forth - always liked white cars and that'd be perfect down here in the desert. But the blues are sure nice too. There's some nice ivorys around too.

    Maybe y'all could post some pics?

    .00160 MF and 64%/70% residual. Do they have many FWD CR-Vs in Michigan?

    If you see different invoice prices, you probably aren't going far enough into the calculation. Some sites (including ours) don't add the destination fee until the end.

    I'm looking to buy2015 CR-V EX FWD by the end of month. i live in houston. I have been enquiring about prices.The lowest out of the door price i got is 25500$. i am sticking to 24800 . Is the price good in houston area or should i bargain more?

    your help is appreciated.

    The invoice on a 2015 CR-V EX, FWD, is $24,867, including Destination.

    About the only incentive available is $300 for USAA or American Express, which do not stack (you only use one of the two). Assuming you have Amex or USAA, then $24,567 for invoice.

    In Texas, 6.25% sales tax is $1,535.44. Assume another $300 for license plates, title application, doc fees, etc. This puts you at $26,402 if you were getting the car at invoice. So $25,500 out the door is close to $900 below invoice, or $1,200 below invoice if you didn’t qualify for Amex or USAA discounts.

    I think the way they talk about it in here, you’re supposed to back out the “doc fees”, so assuming $150 was doc fees, then $750 to $1,050 below invoice.

    This sounds pretty good to me, for a 2015. Of course, that would be terrible for a left over 2014. Might I ask what dealer offered you $25.5 out the door?

    On Edit: I just checked, and there are other incentives:

    USAA $300
    Amex $300
    PenFed $300
    Allstate $300
    Geico $300
    I assume you can only get one of the above.

    In addition, there are $500 loan incentives for recent college graduates and military personnel. In order to evaluate your deal, we need to know what, if any, incentives you qualified for.

    @henryn: thanks for the detailed analysis.
    This dealer just gave me out to door price..i have asked for detailed break up of prices but he has still not given it to me.

    Another dealer has given me MSRP of 23171 without destination . With destination it comes to 24051 this is lowest quote i have received if you neglect the 25.5 out to door quote. how do you think this price is?

    After reading many complaints about the New 2015 CRV trans vibration at idle, wondering if anyone here had experienced it? I test drove Awd exl but i didnt feel it.... anyone??
  • hubcapshubcaps Member Posts: 23
    As a big thanks to everyone. Here are some photos of our 2015 CRV Honda Touring. We got it 2 weeks ago. There is a lot to get use to technology wise. Keep in mind we have not bought a new car since 2006.

    I do feel the vibration of something in the seat when I am at a red light in drive but I have my foot on the brake. If no one is in the passenger seat I can see the seat shake. On the drivers seat it feels like you are in a massage chair or the massage chair when you get a pedicure. I do not feel anything when the car is in park



    We went to the DC auto show and looked at Acura RDX and MDX - Touring has better safety features then their 2015 models. Also most of the interior buttons and symbols on the dashboard are exactly the same as the Touring

    We met a rep for Acura and Honda and he said Honda tests new stuff especially new safety FIRST on Honda's and then if it works or popular they put them in the Acuras - FYI. I did not know this at all. I think he said Lexus and Toyota it is reserved. I will say if you are looking to buy a car go to your local car show if you have them because it helps a lot to see if you physically like the car without going to the dealer. Being short it was hard for me to get into some of the cars/SUVs. Also some cars now are VERY low to the ground. To hard to get in and out of.

    Hope the photo attachment works. I might have to send several posts.

    I'm sure you can find this information on the Maryland DMV web site. The difference you see could be the dealer fees, which is extra profit for the dealer.

    The problem is by my calculations it should be around $235 but I noticed some dealers marking it up to as much as $390.

    I'm getting ready to turn in a lease on a 2012 CR-v EX and get a 2015 EX. I don't drive much and only put 18k miles on the lease...half of the allowance.

    The dealer I bought the 2012 from is anxious to get this car back to re-sell. Here is what he's offering me: $1300 "net trade as cap reduction" on the new car.

    Could anybody walk me through how to evaluate this deal?

    The new lease is: 36 mo, 12000 mi per month, base pmt 306.11, total pmt 333.66, purchase option 17907.50, MSRP 27550, disposition fee 350, xs mileage 0.15.

    Due at signing: 333.66 + 263.50 fees & insurance, net trade as cap reduction 1318,
    Total drive off: 1915.24, cash req on delivery 597.16

    Tax: 9%

    My market is SW Pa, Westmoreland county.

    Do you know what the negotiated selling price is? We can't fully evaluate your deal without that information.

    You may have lots more equity in your current car than the dealer is giving you - that's why he is so anxious to get hold of your car so he can make juicy profit when he resells it. What is the residual on your current lease? Head over to the "Real World Trade in Values" discussion to get an honest appraisal of the trade value of your current CR-V.

    I been shopping around for a new lease. My lease matures in may and I got a letter from honda financial that if I lease another honda through honda financial my last 3 payments are weived. So I been looking at CR-V EX, been trying to negotiate with couple of honda dealerships as well as smaller leasing companies. So far the best lease I got which is 36 month, 1k a month milage, $1k total due at signing is $293 a month (including everything). Today is new technically a new month so the deals might be a little different - hopefully better.

    Currently I have a 2012 honda accord SE trim, which I pay for $220 a month (put $1k at signing as well).

    Last week, I got an email from our local dealer that the next Touring build date is 2/14-2/18. I pre-ordered on January 2nd, and should have the car delivered (to Massachusetts) the last week of February/first week of March. Not sure if anyone else pre-ordered, but wanted to share, as I know the Touring models are tough to find around here. They should be hitting lots after the President's Day sales.

    On a side note: a few of the dealers who wouldn't negotiate at year-end are now calling again... I'm guessing they know what inventory they will be receiving, too, and are more interested in negotiating.

    why not test the market by listing your car online and see what kind of response you get. By selling your car back to the dealer - you are trading simplicity for money - I'm guessing you're leaving at least $1,000 on the table - maybe 2 or 3. The replies you get can either be ignored or will show you have something that easy to sell on your own. Just make sure you hide your license plate number in your pictures.

    I live in NJ and there are plenty of Touring models around. My sister lives in Tucson AZ and is trying to fine one anywhere in the state right now with no luck. I guess they don't sell them out west very much

    Thanks for everybody posting your buying experience here. I just bought a 2015 CR-V EX AWD from MA. The price is $24,437 plus tax, license and dealer fee. OTD $26,505.

    Hey,

    Were there any option included in base price of 24,437? Did you take any options and how much you paid for that. I will appreciate your response.
