Replying to: edmunds4mk25 (Apr 15, 2005 7:16 am) How much is the inventory fee? I've never heard of that (of course I live in California though). I kind of wonder if that is an unnecessary fee. Only you can decide if it's worth the drive. If the other dealers are within a couple of hundred dollars and are a lot closer, personally, I would go to one of them. To me it's not worth $200 to pay the extra gas and the hassle of driving. Just my opinion. Greer

Replying to: edmunds4mk25 (Apr 15, 2005 7:16 am) BTW, destination s/b 515. As mentioned, if the difference is only a couple hunderd bucks, it might not be worth it to drive and pay $35+ on gas. Moreover, if there's any problem, you might get a better response from the dealer you bought from, and the closer, the better. |

Replying to: maferna (Apr 15, 2005 9:49 am) Car washes are an easy thing to get them to agree to because it only costs them labor that they're already paying for anyway. If you do negotiate for these things, make sure you get it in writing that they will perform the services. That way you know you'll actually get it later. Greer |

Replying to: jgreer (Apr 15, 2005 10:15 am) I probably should have danced the dance and then let them know my best offer, but with the intention of keeping the discussions short I just asked if they'd match or better the drive out price. Probably pissed them off by throwing a number at them and asking them to work for my business. Anyway the guy who is ready to sell me the car, 'sounds' like a decent chap. Yeah its too bad I couldn't get this from a local dealer, my guess is there is at least a $500 difference. Here's the break down in detail: 18801 price 1175 tax 47 inventory tax 72 License fee 55 Inspection & Title Fee 50 Doc Fee ------- 20200

Replying to: edmunds4mk25 (Apr 15, 2005 10:55 am) In my estimation $500 is significant enough of a difference to put the time in. Obviously you have everything in writing. But, if you don't have the VIN, you might want to ask him for it just to make sure that he actually has the particular car before you make that long drive. I've actually had dealers (not Honda) say they had the car I wanted, commit to a price, and then when I got there, the vehicle had migically disappeared. Good luck and keep us posted. |

Replying to: edmunds4mk25 (Apr 15, 2005 10:55 am) 18801 price 1175 tax 47 inventory tax 72 License fee 55 Inspection & Title Fee 50 Doc Fee This looks pretty good to me. I paid price of $18989 + $200 doc fee in December here in Boston ( where the FWD isn't in much demand). Mine's blue too. Since you are on Edmunds, I assume that you know you are below invoice. So I say....go get it! And congratulations! |

Replying to: lmoyer1 (Apr 16, 2005 2:58 am) Just got back from Houston with the 2005 Crv LX FWD (Blue). Delear stood by his word and sold the V for $20,200 (drive out). When he showed me the V, I asked him how many miles it had on it. He asked me to start it up, so my wife did and it has 2 miles on it! I've never seen a new V with so few miles. The sales guy also spent a hour in Houston traffic helping me drop off the rental car. Got to ride in a loaded 2006 Ridgeline - very nice. I can't pick out ANY thing to really complain about as far as the dealer is concerned. I'd recommend my sales guy. Lyle I sent you a personal message with the dealers details. Oh before I forget my crv is PTTR:( (pulling to the right). I did test drive the V for around 5 miles, but couldn't detect PTTR. However on my way back It definitely was noticeable on the higway. Any suggestions on how to deal with this. I noticed this only because I took both hands of the wheel, with a hand on the steering wheel, I couldn't notice it. that's all folks.
