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. |

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.

| I have an 05 EX 4WD that had a definite drift (i.e. I did not notice it until I took my hands off the wheel), but not what I'd call a "pull." It would drift out of a level lane in 5 seconds or so at freeway speeds. Dealer realigned all 4 wheels (some specs were out of tolerance) but drift still remained. Then they swapped the front tires and that fixed it. I am attributing the drift to "conicity" in one of the front tires. Tire Rack has a good writeup on their website about conicity. Sounds like you have a drift, as the PTTR folks sound as if they have to use some muscle on the wheel to keep the car tracking straight. Like you, I also did not notice the drift on my test drive...the steering wheel felt completely normal. | |

I bought an SE for invoice ($23,651) before the first of the year. My step-mother is looking for the same car now and I am trying to give her a hand with the process. Has anyone purchased one in Michigan in the last month-or-so? If yes, what did you pay? Thanks, Mike |
