Replying to: crvchick (Jul 23, 2005 7:41 am) You indeed did a wonderful job nailing your deal, I am ready to buy a 2005 CR-V LX auto AWD, (the same as your). I am in NYC but willing to go to NJ as long as the price is right without any gimmicks. Would you mind telling me which town in south NJ the honda dealership you purchased your CRV from? In anycase, I will launch my "attack" guided from carbuyingtips.com this week and see how it goes. Like you said, "We have to stick together against the evil spirit" Thanks, Wayne |

Replying to: barbecuesauce9 (Jul 29, 2005 7:13 pm) BTW, I suspect these employee discount promotions do not significantly affect bottom-line prices, though. I shopped for GM vehicles for awhile and with many of their cars, you can get them for significantly less than the advertised employee discount. Does this promotion only help buyers who don't do their research? |

Replying to: aturny (Jul 31, 2005 1:07 pm) I see ads around Boston Honda dealerships, but they are discounts that employees from the dealerships are getting, not discounts from Honda. Sounds sneaky. Speaking of sneaky, I set up an appointment with a dealer who was a one hour drive away to take a look at a CRV we were thinking of buying, which the dealer said we could buy. When we got there, we got handed from one salesman to another, and finally they told us that the car we were looking at was already sold, and we'd have to wait two weeks for another CRV of that color to come in. When they underpriced our trade-in by $2K, that was the final straw, and we walked. A second dealer we met with are offering the Silvermoss EX Auto for $22k (including dest. charge), and our trade in is just $500 below KBB. We figured this was a good price, hearing how popular the silvermoss color is. What do you all think? |

Replying to: lmccormick (Jul 31, 2005 7:48 pm) Is this for Auto or Manual? FWD or AWD? So far this is the best price I've seen. Congrats! Enjoy your V!  BBJ |

Replying to: turtleshell (Jul 31, 2005 7:57 pm) I see ads around Boston Honda dealerships, but they are discounts that employees from the dealerships are getting, not discounts from Honda. Sounds sneaky. Neither Crysler, GM nor Ford offer true employee pricing. With some you get "supplier's" price, with Ford you get the price a dealer employee would pay, Crysler is a supplier price as well. True GM employee price is still lower than "you pay what we pay" marketing scheme. Also, the "employee pricing" only applys to 2005, 2006's are exculded as well as some hot models. There are no such restrictions on true employee pricing. As to OP question, if all over sudden everyone stopped buying Hondas, they may offer employee pricing. Do you see that happening soon? Seems there alot of people interested in buying a Honda. So, why would they intentionally lose money? It is all about "supply and demand." When there is demand, there will be supply. When demand slows, the supply will slow. Domestics have more supply than demand and had to come up with ways to get people to become more interested, in the "stale" product. |

Replying to: gnosys (Jul 30, 2005 8:54 pm) Anyway, I'm new to this forum - don't know all the rules yet about ads - but if you live in LA, try the Fontana-area dealer that advertises on the radio talk shows with the no-hassle internet offers. Follow-up with a phone call, and they'll probably be about $500 less than Edmunds TMV.

| Does anyone know if there is any predictability to when Honda offers special financing rates for the CR-V? I remember back in March they were offering 2.9% for all their vehicles, but I haven't seen anything else since then. I talked to a salesperson last week who said their best rate now is 4.99% for well qualified buyers and 5.49% for the "college grad program" (which I would probably use since I just graduated in May). I would like to be able to get one by October, but I could wait if I know they will have specials toward the end of the year. | |
