They are the same people selling accesories on line at a great discount at http://www.fairhondapartsforyou.com Go through the internet department and you will be all set. I bought lots of accessories from them, and even bought my last car from them as well. Honest people, stick to their word, and the best experience I ever had buying a car. D&C Honda in Tenafly is not bad either, I have bought from them in 1999. But last time I was shopping they could not match Fair Honda's price. I have heard good things about Mahwah Honda (or whatever is the name of the Honda dealer in Suffern NY), a Friend bought an Accord there, and liked them. I had an unfortunate experience with their service department that kind of made it sour. Stay away from Paragon and White plains Honda, same owner, same tactics. A friend had a very nasty experience with RT 23 Honda in Wayne, and I had a not so good experience with their service department. I heard Rahal Honda was good, but their price are not great. Someone has to pay for Dannika Patrik's entry fees, lol..

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 30, 2005 7:46 am) Does this mean I have to be nice to you now?  Actually, I think they made a good choice...seriously. And your advise is excellent. You won't believe the pain I see some people put themselves through in their mad zeal to not pay any more than someone else **said** they paid. By the time they finally realize the prices they read about in forums like this were...well..."over enthusiastic" the color choice they really wanted are long gone. I'm glad August if finally over! |

| We went to pick up our new EX in the NY area yesterday. The dealer promised everything was ready since we were travelling by train from the city to Long Island. Of course when we arrived the day/night mirror was not installed so we had to wait. Then we overheard a mechanic say "there's comething wrong with the car" because the engine light was on. They got us a rental car and we left but they have our bank check. My feeling is we should not buy a car that already had a light on, and insist the dealer give us a full refund. I'm sure it will be a fight. Any advice? | |

I wouldn't worry too much. It doesn't take much to cause that light to go on. A loose gas cap is the most common cause. Still, it's a new car and I can see why you would be concerned. Can they exchange it for another CRV in stock?

Replying to: blueiedgod (Sep 01, 2005 5:24 am) Needless to say, I went and bought my 05 from Hillside Honda in Jamaica two days later. The Internet salesman was a great guy - the F&I guy was a jerk, and tried to pull quite a few tricks on me. Thankfully, I escaped unharmed (no rust proofing, window etching, etc). He added $550 to the bill of sale for window tinting which I caught and told him I could do elsewhere for $200. So if anyone is in the market for a Honda, I would recommend visiting the Hillside Honda website where you can actually submit your quote for a coupla hundred below invoice and they will call you back and accept your price. Start negotiating from there! |

Not many '05's left. Checked lots of inventories. Visited 3 dealers. Lots of variation in base price, accessory costs, administrative fees and sales approach. My target was $22k for an EX auto. Made the deal last night for $22,155. I did add the security system to that, but will buy & install the other accessories myself. Good luck to all still shopping. |

Just got a call from my friends at Criswell Honda in Germantown. They have received a truck load of CRVs this afternoon. My EX is one of them  . They were quite agressive in their pricing and will waive freight if pressed. The other good deal I was offered was at Herson's in Rockville. Good luck!

Got an LX at Invoice + $45 (doc) + $315 (destination fee; reduced by $200 from $515) Looks like in SF Bay, some dealers have reasonable inventory while others have exhausted their CRV stock. |

I am going in to make a deal on an '05 SE this afternoon. Let me say up front that I am not good at negotiating. They do not have the color I want (white) in stock but they have one coming in about a month so this is the car I will be dealing over. Another local dealer gave me a price on the phone of ~24,800 + tax/tags. This is about $1,000 over invoice and $400 over TMV for this area. What do you all think is a realistic price? I would be very happy with invoice but would probably settle for TMV. Please respond ASAP. Thanks!
