Replying to: phisher (Dec 21, 2006 7:09 am) I will update my best deal (and dealership) when I have something to report. Regarding dealers, I did note that Toyota and Subaru dealerships were really keen to sell. But Honda dealers are just not keen to sell! Half of them don't even respond for requests for quotes. The manager at the bloomington, MN dealership sort of looked down at us - when on his asking what our "budget" was I replied an LX. He was condescending, and he said I am "the" manager, I will have one of my men talk to you. I e-mailed the sales guy who took us for a test ride, thanking him and asking for a quote for an EX-L. He never replied to my e-mail at all. They had a few EX-Ls in stock then. With such an attitude, these guys would be out of a job if they were to sell Ford or GM vehicles under current market conditions. |

Hello all. We are in the Orlando, FL area and are currently looking to buy a 2007 CR-V LX 2WD. In researching, I’ve found several sources that are pretty adamant about offering no more than the following when purchasing a new vehicle: Dealer cost (invoice) + destination charge – holdbacks * 5%. All replies for online quote requests from the local dealers have led me to believe that they won’t part with anything under MSRP, stating that the car is in such high demand. Is this true? If so, should I bother showing up at the dealership to attempt to negotiate? Or should we wait a few months and test the market then? Would anyone in the central Florida area (we are willing to drive a bit) be able to confirm and possibly offer advice as to a dealer whom they purchased from (positive experience)? Any and all suggestions/help are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: phisher (Dec 21, 2006 12:32 pm) Actually I did contact Gentile Honda in Kenosha and they gave me a quote for CRV EX-L $25,437 for a demo vehicle with 3000 miles on it. I said no thank you. The s.t. in WI is 5.9, IL is over 9%, with MN 6.5%.

I just received 3 internet quotes from dealers in my area. The best was that someone was willing to GIVE ME was the MSRP. - forget taking anything off! Plus, here in the Southwest Florida I have to pay the dealer $389 in doc fees for the pleasure of doing business with him. That is the lowest of the doc fees in my area. I have no problem going out-of-state to buy a car, but I do not know how to do this using the internet. Can someone suggest a site where I can find more dealers than those in my area. I tried one site and I received a "far away" message saying that since I am not in their marketing area, I am just fishing for a price to negotiate with, and they kindly refused to deal with me. Thanks for anything that you can do.
