Can anyone tell me what I should offer for a 2005 SE CRV? The salesman quoted me 25, 600 but said nobody pays that and to make an offer, he likes giving things away. OK....already the flags go up with him, so where do I start. He also says that he doesn't make money on the car and then laughs, that he gets paid for "not" selling cars. (Really?) More flags. The invoice according to bluebook is 23, 836. Where do I go from there and what do I do? Any suggestions? TIA.....Rita I am in Las Vegas |

Wife and I are considering a CR-V. We have a 12 y/o child who's getting really tall and the CR-V should have plenty of back seat room and cargo room compared to our Jetta. I'm thinking EX and am not sure what dealer to go to. I live near the new superstition springs honda dealer so maybe somebody has dealt with them? Should I just offer a bit under Edmunds TMV for the car? I think TMV is about $400 over invoice right now.

Replying to: bluewolf (May 14, 2005 5:36 pm) I recently bought a 4WD LX for about $900 under invoice at the end of the month; maybe we got lucky. I would expect it should be pretty easy for you to get one for invoice; and probably at least several hundred bucks underneath invoice. This required going to a couple of dealers (starting with the "upfront lowest price" at www.autofair.com in NH where they just sell for that price), but over the course of two or three dealers we went from about $200 under invoice to $900 under invoice over the last week of the month. Again, we might have gotten lucky with just how much under invoice we were able to achieve, but you should be able to do all right. |

Replying to: dwynne (May 14, 2005 9:44 am) Thanks for the clarification. You are right - there is a documentation fee of $45 and some other craps (Sales tax, DMV, License fees, tire fees, etc.). CA sales tax rate is 8.25%. Hence the $1,913.59. The documentation fee aside, I believe the $23,150 does include the destination fee you mentioned. Here's a copy of my sale contract. Hope this will help clarify things. So, is it still a hot or cool deal? Thx & good luck all!

I went to test drive a CR-V the other day, as I am starting to look for an EX with the 5 speed. The dealer didn't have any 5 speeds, but I drove an auto just to see how the thing rode and how loud it was. The vehicle definitely pulled to the right on a straight and level road. It was persistant and obtrusive, and not under acceleration (torque steer). I was pretty put off by the pull and told the salesman that the vehicle needed some work. He didn't seem too concerned. Interestingly enough, under braking the car went straight as an arrow, so I guess the alignment was off or something, but I would not buy that particular car on a bet. All I had to do was drive straight on a level road and let go of the wheel. The car immediately and very noticably pulled over to the right. Very interesting. Oh yeah: The main reason I was posting was to see if anybody had any leads on any dealers with a significant amount of 5 speeds on the lot. Specifically I am looking for an EX 5 speed in either black, dark blue, or either silver color. I really don't want red, tan or white. I am in the midsouth area (Memphis) but have the ability to travel far and wide to find a dealer with one on the lot that I could drive before starting to deal. Thanks to anyone with any leads. |

...just got mine...in Silver Moss...from Continental Honda in La Grange, IL.....think I did well at $18823 inclu dest cost (plus tax/title/lic). So far no PTTR issues, you either have it, or don't have it, right...not something that happens in time?? Thanks! EH |

BTW....During my pricing inquiries, I was told by several dealers that typically, the Costco/Sam's Club special pricing is a few hundred above invoice, whereas the internet pricing is a few hundred below....I found that interesting! EH
