I have the '06 CR-V brochure. There are virtually no changes from '05. In fact, most of the pictures in the '06 brochure are the same ones Honda used in the '05 brochure!
 
HP is now rated at 156 for '06, down from 160, but we all know nothing changed except how they measure it - the performance will be identical. Colors are the same - they may have changed a couple of the names.
 
Bottom line, if you're concerned about resale in a couple of years and don't like taking a full year's depreciation next month, buy an '06. If you don't care about depreciation and were waiting for any improvements for '06 - go ahead an get an '05 and save a couple hundred bucks. If you want a completely redesigned CR-V , it supposedly is coming out next year, which explains why Honda basically left the '06 untouched..

F&I GUY Question by andrelaplume
Sep 08, 2005 (10:39 am)

I am looking to purchase my first Honda. In my past new car purchases, buy the time I hit the financing guy the price of the car was already locked in. My Fin guy experience was simply to say NO, NO, NO and NO until I got to the part where I wanted to finance, then give an amount and again say No, No, No to all the options (insurance, add-ins like service contracts etc). With Honda, can they actually jack up the price already agreed when you meet this dude?

They can change the price, yes. When I bought my CR-V a couple of months ago, the sales guy gave me a price which he said was the final price that nothing would be added to other than sales tax. When the finance guy printed out the paperwork (the giant form with all the duplicate copies), the price wasn't right - an additional $200 or so had been added for window etching.
 
I argued against this ("it's on all of our cars...probably [the salesman] forgot to mention it") and it was removed. But always check that the price on your paperwork is the same one that you agreed to!

Update on EX in NY area by mommanan

Yes, the information about the 3 clicks does help for the future - thanks! We are not buying that EX though. First the car wasn't ready and then late in the day the Check Engine light went on. We got our check back and left. Morale of the story: avoid picking up a car on the last day of the month, and go in the morning so if there are problems you have time to deal with them before the mechanics go home.
 
I just got a quote of $22568 (including destination) for an EX plus $1000 for accessories already on the car (side steps and the roof rack) plus a doc prep fee of $200. The salesman took $100 off the car price when I questioned the doc prep fee. This dealer has been looking around for my color and found it at another dealer so they would need to do a swap. Do you think I can do better on the accessories despite the swap?
 
Also we are considering the day/night rear view mirror as an option - last dealer quoted me about $500 or so. I've never had one - how important is this option in an SUV (I hate the headlights in the mirror when I drive our 93 Accord). My other possible accessory is the wood trim kit to help improve the look of the console, also about $500. But I feel like my $1,000 for accessories is going to the running boards and cross bars that someone else put on and I'm not too motivated about laying out another grand.

Any opinions on how worthwhile the door edge guards and the moonroof visor are?

I'm confused - why does Edmunds say that the MSRP for the 2005 4WD EX is $23,550 while Honda says the MSRP for the 2006 4WD EX is less - only $22,850? Did they lower the price??

I think you can do better / negotiate further, particulary on the pre-installed accessories.
 
For comparison purposes: David Michael Honda in Freehold NJ gave me a quote yesterday, by mistake, on an EX: 21799 base + 550 destination + 138.50 doc fee.
 
HandA accessory cost for running boards & roof rack (for an SE, including shipping) = 393 & 224, respectively. The roof rack installation is simple, you could do it yourself. My autobody guy said he could install running boards & fog lights for me for 300 -- so maybe assume 150 or less for running board install? That's 767 parts & install -- although more work for you and your mechanic.

Just got a quote from a dealer in the Boston area for an '06 EX auto for $22,675 inc. doc fees. Guy said that car would be delivered last week in Sept. / frst week Oct. This seem reasonable?

The Edmund's price you are quoting is an automatic. The Honda.com base price you are quoting is for the manual. That's the difference.

The 06 AWD LX gets a 6 CD changer. Everything else seems the same compared to the 05.
