Just purchased a second 2006 SE model (pewter pearl) with all the additional bells and whistles, like running boards, nickel trim, luggage rack, pin stripes, cargo mat. While running boards aren't really needed I love the sportier look they give the vehicle. I purchased at Victory Honda in Sandusky Ohio I was treated like royalty (which is what I expect when spending this amount of money in one day) We were never left to sit or get bored for more than 10 minutes at any point as a floor salesman, internet saleman, general manager and finance manager all kept coming to us during our process to keep us informed of where things were at with the deal, especially during that lag time of vehicle prep they do from when you've sealed the deal. Prior to this purchase I received quotes for the typical model without all the above fluff. These were the prices quoted to me for internet deals - although I still had to talk to most of them on the phone to get them to match and compete against one another. 23,410 - Motorcars - Cleveland Heights Ohio 23,410 - Sunnyside Honda - Middleberg Heights, Ohio 23,500 - Whiteys Honda - Mansfield, Ohio 24,060 - Matia Honda - Elyria, Ohio and of course, some dealers didn't bother to respond, so I knew that I didn't want to deal with them anyway. Considering the following: 24,060 - Invoice Price 24,882 - Edmunds TMV for what my area is I was very happy with the prices I was quoted. Would have been even happier if we had done it a few days earlier - we missed out on the $750 rebate! Since we didn't start looking until the 6th (it ended the 5th) SIGH-- Oh well, When I bought my 2000 SE I got a great deal, but not as much under invoice in my area back then. Anyway, it was more than 45 min to an hour drive to other dealerships outside of Sandusky for me. I had a really bad experience with the prior Honda Dealership Sandusky Motors in 2000, HOWEVER, now that it is owned by Victory Honda they have done a total 360! I got a great deal on my souped up version and was treated fairly for the most part on my trade (a 2001 Grand Prix with 170,000 miles) I will also mention that Sunnyside did a wonderful job for us in 2000 with our last purchase - so if thats closer for you take time to check them out as well. I told the new Victory about the horrid experience and treatment from the old owners, did my homework ahead of time and they were willing to do just about anything to keep me from going to Cleveland. Even though my husband was with me, I did the negotiations (he hates that stuff)and they knew up front that I was more interested in bottom line prices and trade in value than silly things like colors and cup holders! I promised Victory I wouldn't divulge the price I paid, however, I did go for the model with the add-ons and was thrilled with my bottom line! If you've done any research on CR-V pricing in this area and based on the standard SE model prices I listed above (you should come to the conclusion that where I bought from would have had to beat or come close to the pricing  to save me the additional 2 hours drive time round trip to a cleveland area dealer) I will say this, they definitely cleared out all that soap taste that was still in my mouth from the old Sandusky Motors days. I love my new honda and now we have his and hers CR-V's! The 2000 we have is great, never any problems and has 65,000 miles. I didn't bother looking at another model by competitors in this category as the CR-V already gives me everything I want and then some on the newer 2006!  I agree with the prior post on playing the game. I had FUN doing this deal since they knew I was a woman on a mission to get what I wanted for the price I wanted it at! Not too mention I impressed the hell out of my husband who would have just paid the first price offer without the research. Take the time to get the internet pricing, secure financing before you go if you can and let them know you are willing to drive further than your own city to save a few dollars!

Replying to: jerseydevil (Jul 09, 2006 4:32 am) We considered a second CR-V a few years ago but they didn't have the SE model then and I like the leather much better than the cloth, plus resale value of an SE seems to be substantially better than the LX or EX versions - at least in my area. |

First of all, thank you everyone for this discussion. It helped me a lot to buy my first car, which is Honda CR-V LX 2WD. I live in AL, we don’t have snow here. This is why I don’t need AWD, for me its just extra weight and extra gas to spent, not talking about extra money to pay for it. All the accessories EX model has, you can find them online for one third of the price. My OTD price for CR-V 2WD was $19.806 with all the taxes and fees included. As of accessories I got only mud guards and pin stripes (it took me 5 hrs later on to get rid of them because they were covered with damn paint sealant and I had to wax and polish whole car). It took me 2 weeks to negotiate the price with a central Alabama dealer(I don’t want to tell you the dealer name – please, negotiate your deal yourself, it is a lot of fun), I came the last day of June, Friday. My APR with Honda Finance was 5.8 with $5000 down. Thank you again. |

I'm getting a quote of $23,320 on an SE from a dealership south of Pittsburgh. It looks from this forum like this is reasonable, but not necessarily stellar. Anyone have thoughts? Should I wait until later in the month and hope for a little more hunger on the part of the dealer?

Replying to: phillydevil (Jul 08, 2006 7:20 am) Piazza: 19,504 Keenan: 19,655 Freed: 20,150 Conicelli: 20,504 Guess who is getting my business? Worth shopping around for a few quotes folks. A tip on dealer accessories. Its probably better to avoid them, but if you need them, you can get a quote on them (installed price) from honda's web site. e.g. $551 for the running boards. So I will point that out if I end up buying from a dealer who asks $599 or $674 for that. I can just buy them later during my first oil change. Another tip: many of the dealers let you check their inventory online through their web site. Worth doing to see what they have, colors, VINs, etc.

Replying to: joetr (Jul 03, 2006 5:59 pm) Also - to all of you, my dealer near Pittsburgh is telling me that there is still dealer cash available on the CR-V. From the price she is giving me, I'm assuming that it's about $740.

Replying to: phillydevil (Jul 10, 2006 10:42 am) 2 weeks ago, I purchased a Saraha Sand Metallic 2006 LX 2WD with no options except front and rear mud guards (which were already on the vehicle) for $19,000 in Newark, DE. That includes Destination. No fees we paid except tax and tags, which I paid outside of the financing. I went in with my financing in hand and having negotiated the purchase price ahead of time via email and 2 phone calls. Took an hour-long test drive (without the salesman), signed the papers and went home with my CR-V. Very happy with the deal.
