Not my cup of tea but they are a loyal bunch...ala Honda owners. Also realize for the longest time they only had a couple of models. Take a poll and I bet most folks would rather see the fixed price up front on any vehicle and know it is the same for everyone.
 
They still gave in to Employee pricing. Which meant that they sold the car for less than MSRP. Also, Saturn does double your downpayment as a promotional thing. Let's say you trade or put down $2000 down, they will match it, and finance $4000 less than MSRP, even though you only put down $2000.

I have to give it to you: you're one loyal gal/guy!
 
I think I bought my first Honda (my first car!) - a CRX - from Fair Honda WAAAAY back in 1987. God, I LOVED that car! Unfortunately, I drove it like a madwoman and totaled it a few years later. I will say that the salesman went above & beyond on this sale: they taught me how to drive a stick shift DURING my first test drive and I was hooked. Now that's gumption & amazing salesmanship!
 
When I was shopping around for a Civic EX in 92, I went back to Fair Honda first - but they weren't willing to negotiate - not a cent under sticker; so I bought elsewhere. In 2000, when I was shopping for an Odyssey, they weren't willing to move off their "sorry, we're selling for $3000 over sticker and that's that" sales pitch. Didn't seem to matter that I'd bought there before & could have become a repeat customer. Didn't matter to Watertown either, where I bought my Civic. To be fair, I got the same response from all dealers in my immediate area: $3000 over sticker, no exceptions. I ended up buying the Odyssey from Westbrook Honda (CT) for invoice - which irks me ("Little Miss Never-Pays-Sticker-Price") TO THIS DAY). There was some last minute shenanigans at Westbrook that I didn't like so much, which is why I didn't even bother asking them for a quote on a CRV this year.
 
Back to the CRV: Brewster Honda was very accommodating on my CRV test drives. Their Internet Mgr is really very, very nice. However, their quote was MUCH higher than any other dealers'... and I'm just not interested in running around or emailing everyone with quotes trying to drive down the price. I'm just looking for the best first quote.

If you tighten the cap with three clicks, allow some miles to roll by.Does it turn off?If it turns offin a reasonable amount of time (forty miles, say), then the cap is your problem. If it remains on, go to your dealer. In my Honda book (Odyssey), it states that less than 3 clicks will cause the check engine light to turn on. Hope I helped!

Good deal in IL? by bshor

I'm finalizing a sale at Crystal Lake Honda in IL for a 05 CRV EX, 137 miles, for $21.4k base, $23.5k OTD (Chicago tax), mudflaps and wheellocks included.
 
Is this a good deal? And how reputable is this dealer?

Oh and by the way (my own Jobs impression )
 
Honda is showing off the new 2006 CR-V on its website:
 
http://automobiles.honda.com/models/model_overview.asp?ModelName=CR%2DV
 
New MSRP prices:
 
$20,395 2WD LX
$21,595 4WD LX
$22,850 4WD EX
$25,450 4WD Special Edition
 
But doesn't look different at all otherwise from the 05's, except some color changes. Can anyone else confirm?

Before you buy a hybrid and they are so beautiful and nice; please read about
EMF's ( electrical magnet forces ) ; what happens with the rechargable batteries
if there is ever an accident with the electical current going thru those batteries.
 
I was really surprised what I read about these wonderfully fuel efficient cars and SUVS.
 
Yes, I would really like a current CR-V; but wish the gas mileage would was a lot better
for the prices we have to pay now.

A word of advice - watch out for the F&I guy when you sign the papers at Hillside Honda. I bought my LX AWD from them in May 05 through the Internet dept. The Internet guy was courteous and quick - the F&I guy first made me wait 2 hours coz he was 'dealing' with an elderly lady on a lease (I presume she was taken for a ride) and then tried to jerk me around with accessories. Imagine adding $500 to the price for window tint - was he smoking or what?!

Gen 1 manual gets 30 mpg highway (theracoon), gen 2 manual gets 26-28 mpg city (me). How much more do you want? Show me one SUV out there that can break the mid-20's mpgs. I can only think of Suzuki Sidekick from the mid-90's. It was much much smaller than CR-V, and was recalled for tipping over too easily. Escape Hybrid averages 25 mpg. You pay extra $3000 to achieve what CR-V does on its own.
