Inventory tax in Texas... It is pretty small.. a percentage, but usually under $100.. Not bogus..

That's a good deal. You did not break down all the numbers, but I guess you are getting something like 400-500 below invoice.
 
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.

Thanks for the info on the Inventory tax. I wasn't aware of that.
 
See what happens when you live in the same state your entire life?
 
I guess if there is something to tax, most governments will find a way to tax it

And if you deal with a local dealer, there's a chance you could get them to throw in car washes, full details, oil changes, etc. to help make up the $200 difference or so (if that is the difference) of going with a dealer close by.
 
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.

Local dealers weren't even interested in negotiating, got no counter offer.
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

In that case, if you are comfortable with the dealer, and don't mind the cost of extra gas and the time it will take you to drive the distance, I would say go for it.
 
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.

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!

Sound like a good deal. I am in Texas and looking to buy a CRV. Mind telling me where you got the deal?

Hi Folks,
 
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.

best,
