#111 of 9467 $1500 below MSRP in Boston metro by safetrip Apr 24, 2003 (6:10 pm)
I've got my silver EX CRV a month ago at Commonwealth Motors up in Lawrence MA. I paid $21,360+reg+tax+doc. I'm very happy about the deal based on the response from other dealers in the area. I spent about a month in negotiations on line and in person at about 7 different dealers. Some of them wouldn't budge at all below MSRP saying that they sell CRVs even before cars come in, which was true given the fact that I couldn't see any CRVs among hundreds of Accords and Civics. The best deal I've got before I contacted Commonwealth was $700 below MSRP from Honda of Boston after an hour of haggling-I personly don't recommand this dealership and Cambridge Honda. They were very snotty). But when I called Commonwealth and said(more correctly 'lied') to them that I've got a deal at $1200 below MSRP from some place else and would go up there if they can give it at $1500 below, they agreed right away. No negotiations, no haggling. In fact, I did this to another dealer and told, 'that's a great deal. go ahead and take it while it last'. Any way, the dealer at commonwealth was very nice and things went very smooth. Only thing was I had wait 4 weeks since they didn't have any. Here is one money saving tip. DO NOT BUY ACCESSORIES FROM DEALERS! The price is highly inflated-some of them are as much as 100% more expensive than MSRP. One dealer even confested to me that they make more money on accessories than cars. Anyway, instead go to http://www.handa-accessories.com/ or http://www.collegehillshonda.com/ and order them on-line. They are much, much cheaper and you can also get things that they don't carry in the dealerships like rear parking mirror, color matched spare tire cover, auto-dimming rear view mirror, touch paints etc. I bought cargo cover, moonroof visor, window visor, spare tire cover at almost half of dealer's price. Don't worry about installation. They come with detailed manuals and if you can replace a light bulb, you can do it.

#113 of 9467 Buy Used! by provost1 Apr 28, 2003 (6:47 am)
I just found this board so my info is dated but I'll give it anyway: In March 2002 I bought a Certified '98 CR-V LX AT,A/C,CD in silver, just over 24000 miles. Obviously, since it was Honda Certified, it was in basically showroom condition. I argued them down to $16,200 from 17,000. Did the deal at Klein Honda in Everett, WA. I expect to buy another in early 2004 and unless the price of the new ones just blows me away I will buy certified used again...
#114 of 9467 HONDA DEALERS IN AZ AND SOUTHERN CA by jnez Apr 28, 2003 (11:10 am)
Hi   I am looking to buy an 03, CR-V EX 4WD in the next six months or so. I am 2.5 hours from San Diego and Phoenix. If anyone has had any good experiences from any dealers in those areas please let me know! The town I live in is limited, and I feel that I would get a better deal in an area that has more competition. I talked to my local Honda dealer, and he gave me a load of crap from the start..... So, in the meantime my husband and I are selling our 92 Landcruiser and 95 Civic with plans on purchasing a new CR-V in the near future!! I can't wait!!!   Thanks to anyone that can help!!!

I just bought a Silver CR-V EX (no dealer add-ons) for $21,152 + tax, title, doc fee in the Chicago-land area. Out the door it was $22,884.61. I was pleased with the deal. It was about $1,000 less than the highest quote in my area.

#118 of 9467 2003 LX 2WD in Fort Worth, TX by chuckn1964 May 09, 2003 (8:08 pm)
I just plunked down $500 cool ones on this vehicle to "hold" it until it arrives. It is now enroute from some place in Illinois. We have had a lot of large hail storms here this year, so dealer inventories are very low in CRV's.   I ordered the 2WD LX in Eternal Blue with a couple of additional options installed by Huggins Honda.   True to their word, they are charging me $100 over invoice($18,023.36 + TT&L). Their "internet price" is between $300 - $800 cheaper than any other dealer in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Only one other dealer in Dallas had this vehicle in Eternal Blue in stock, but the price and 1.5 hour travel time seemed too much for me.   I am looking forward to driving the vehicle once it arrives in 7 - 10 days. I hope this is true, as my totalled(from hail) car's A/C has just stopped working
#119 of 9467 lease search fast track by alfalfa549 May 10, 2003 (5:32 pm)
I began a lease search for a Honda CRV EX on Tuesday Morning in Pittsburgh. I used email and the Honda web site for initial contact. I sent out requests to 20 dealers. The Honda site is a pain for this. Just get dealer list and go to their web site. Send the same message to all.   I said " I am ready to lease a Honda CRV EX auto. I am looking for 12k per year miles, 48 month term, no money down, no security fee, no acquistion fee, no termination fee. I am ready to move now"   In the next 24 hours I had over 10 responses. No one gives you the skinny first shot. So you have to do your homework. The list for an EX auto is $22.8k. The Edmund's TMV is 21.9k. That was my target. Cap cost-residual/term is capital cost. (Cap cost+residual)*money factor is interest. Money factor is interest rate divided by 2400. Add taxes in your area. Mine are 10%. Add. For my goal, this yielded $300/month.   Everyone started at $330-350 per month. A couple phone calls, fax, email per party yielded $305 offer. I signed up. Got the color I wanted. Drove one home on Thursday.   You too can do it!
#120 of 9467 Waiting for 2004 by bgabel1260 May 11, 2003 (7:00 am)
Stopped by my current dealer yesterday to look at the CR-V up close. Didn't drive one but I think this is the car to get. I told the salesman I "need" a 5spd and asked what's the situation with those. He said they had one in inventory (LX) but they are rather uncommon. I asked about ordering one and he said they could but it's something that would take 4, 6 or maybe 8 weeks.   I said I think I will wait for the 2004 models strictly for resale reasons. Honda doesn't have any incentives on these 2003 models so there's no point rushing to get one now. He said he agreed with me and with a longer lead time I probably could pick the color I want. I want a EX in Chianti Red or Satin Silver.   I asked him about the standard discount on the CR-V and he rather looked at me like I said something naughty. Anyway, he whispered to me that they are giving $500-700 off MSRP generally. Of course, I have a feeling I would have to pay sticker for a 2004 come August.   The sales guy said that they can't get enough CR-Vs to sell. The dealership told a risk a couple months ago by buying extra CR-Vs (AWD models) from dealers down South and having them shipped back to the NE. Because the dealership sold their normal allocation as well as these additional vehicles, they are now receiving a larger allocation from Honda.
