Replying to: isellhondas (Apr 05, 2005 5:59 am) Oh, yes it does. The in-person dealer offered to sell me the same car at well OVER MSRP! No one should waste their time walking into a dealership without first establishing a price. People must know that they do not have to endure the ridiculous scenario I described when I went in person. |

Replying to: norabill (Apr 05, 2005 5:52 am) I'm curious because in Southern California, is doesn't seem like CR-Vs are going much below invoice, if that. Poway Honda wouldn't even discuss holdback with me (not that I brought it up, but they asked me where I got my numbers), and claimed to be losing $71 on the deal. But, I knew that if I didn't close the deal, it would mean about $1800 over the life of the loan, so haggling over $300 wasn't worth it. Still, they said they were 17 units short of their quota with only 2 days left to go. I would have thought they'd give on the $300. I'm still happy with the deal though. Greer |

Replying to: robgeo (Apr 04, 2005 4:47 pm) Shop around, establish a relationship with both internet and in-store sales, and get some quotes. I called around a bit and eventually, nobody would beat or match the deal I got. Trust is a big issue though - if you think somebody is lying to you just to get you in the store, forget it. Quotes in writing - fax, email - or not at all. Obviously, there's going to be some uncertainty for you, the buyer, in any deal, because you'll never really know exactly how things work between the dealer and manufacturer. So your best indication that you did as well as you could is by comparison to other dealers in your region. 2.9%: As far as I know, that was straight from Honda's finance company, so I think it would be hard to find a dealer offering it independently. |

Hi everyone, I'd like to first say that this forum is awesome with its vasts amounts of valuable information for the informed consumers. Members who have already contributed their buying experiences gave me a great advantage when I encountered dealerships in my local area. However, when I did my own shopping via internet/telephone I was shocked to find that most dealerships in the Seattle area would not sell under costco's price which is about $900 over invoice. My best offer thus far is $700.00 over invoice. I'd like to ask anyone in or near the Seattle if they encountered similar prices. Would anyone like to give me a referral to a dealership with positive experience? At this time, I'm very tempted to start shopping in CA and have the car shipped to Seattle seeing that you can purchase the car at invoice or even under invoice. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Jsport

Replying to: jsport (Apr 05, 2005 11:22 am) For the life of me, I just can't understand why a dealer would sell a great, fast moving, popular car for invoice. I'm from So. Calif and I know it's a cutthroat market. Just be careful to watch for the other ways they have of making a profit on the deal. Holdback doesn't begin to cover flooring and advertising so don't think that's bottom line profit. far from it. |

Replying to: jsport (Apr 05, 2005 11:22 am) You can get a great deal in CA, as I shopped in the San Jose area to get an idea of how much more the Seattle CRV market was. I bet you could save $800-$1000 over Seattle prices, but the hassle factor was not worth it for me, as I had a trade-in which could not be appraised over the phone. If I were just buying new with no trade, I'd seriously consider it...email the internet sales dept at Capitol Honda in SJ, Honda of Stevens Creek in SJ and Autowest Honda in Fremont and see if the savings is worth it. Be advised that the CRV appears afflicted with occasional cases of "pull to the right" which you can only know when you drive the actual one you are buying, so don't commit to buying anything without a final test drive clause...i.e. buy from a dealer that has several of the one you want, so you can select another if "yours" has PTTR. Good luck. |

I have a 2 week old LX AWD. Got for $300 over invoice as a "no haggle" offer referred through triple-A. Added top of line lo-jack for just over $500; no other accessories.no preparation or documentation fees except $100 for routine DMV transactions. This was at Majestic Honda in Warwick, RI. I also bought a Civic from them awhile back, and will go there when I need my Odyssey replaced in a couple years. Very friendly, absolutely NO BS  , very responsive. Actually a pleasureful experience for a guy who totally hates shopping for anything, let alone a biggie like a car. Perhaps I could have raised my blood pressure and stomach acid haggling away a couple hundred more over a month somewhere else, but why bother? BTW, love the car! |
