Replying to: esnook (Mar 06, 2009 7:53 pm) Kind of depends on if the dealer has added anything to it. The invoice plus destination price is $22,534. (Don't know if your price quote included dest.) I believe there is a $500 dealer cash incentive from Honda right now (which they don't have to pass on to you.) If you can find more info about dealer add ons and whether the price quote included destination charges ($670), we could give you more of a definitive answer. According to Edmunds TMV, people are paying below invoice in your area right now. The CRV Prices Paid forum is the best place to get this info... and I see you've already posted there. |

Hi: I am new here so forgive me if I ask a stupid question. I am still working my way through this site and have a lot to learn. i am really thoroughly impressed. Anyways, my question is should I use the "Get Dealer Quotes" part of this site or do I call a dealership or the manufacturer and ask for the Internet Manager to get the quotes for the model I want. Thanks!! JC

Replying to: lrguy44 (Apr 21, 2009 7:34 am) You got two replies. golic is a consumer, lrguy44 is a salesperson. (Not knocking golic. I like his posts). As they say, YMMV -- Your mileage might vary  The one thing they both agree on (and I agree too) is that you need to be as specific as possible to let them know you're a serious buyer. Best of luck, and let us know how you make out.

Replying to: verdugo (Apr 21, 2009 7:40 am) One more question...is it good to tell the dealer up front that I want to pay the car with cash. (actually a credit card to get the points and then pay that off) Thanks!! JC

Replying to: jungle_cat (Apr 21, 2009 9:15 am) FAIK, most dealers won't let you buy a car w/ a credit card. So, I would certainly mention that upfront. |

Replying to: jungle_cat (Apr 21, 2009 9:15 am) And especially if you're planning to put your purchase on a credit card, ask the dealer ahead what's the most they'll take on credit cars, as usually the limit is $3000 - $5000 due to high service charges that a dealer has to pay for credit card transactions. You may not be able to put your whole purchase on credit card. Good luck.
