#3971 of 7482 CRV purchase -travel to save $$$$$ by 1crvman Dec 21, 2006 (3:13 pm)
Been following the discussions and find information here is useful. To aid in others in finding current market price this is our story: LX AWD no options - tango red paid $20,888 incl dest. but not TTL   Last weekend when in Vermont we got a free copy of the local paper when food shopping and a Honda dealers flyer was inserted for the weekend. There it was an LX for $20888, I call and find out it was one of the two colors we decided upon and the dealership was in New Hampshire. After a 2 1/2 drive we test drove and decided to pull the trigger. But - we didn't have our checkbook - wanted to deposit with credit card - dealer didn't accept that. Strange. Will hold for us. We left with that uneasy feeling that with no contract it could be sold out from us. Anyway, after arranging for insurance and getting monies transferred we hasten back yesterday and traded our '01 Tribute with cash for LX. Deal was easy with no pressure and gimmicks. Being from New Jersey you get suspecious of dealers and the tricks they use...however, I must say that Berlin City Honda in Gorham, NH was for us a good trip and I think a decent deal considering the local dealers here are at or above MSRP. One dealer in Toms River had posted MSRP plus a $1500 mark-up about 2 months ago. Perhaps now the prices are normalizing, but it pays to travel to get that deal...

Someone who buys in a county that has a lower tax still has to pay as if they bought in their own county. At least that's how it was when I last made a vehicle purchase.   More competition in the Chicago area (heck, Kenosha might as well be in the Chicago metro area) = better prices.

Replying to: mimiata (Dec 21, 2006 2:07 pm) How to buy a car from "out of town":   Start expanding the area you're covering requesting quotes. Don't travel except to pick up the vehicle--do all the paperwork via FedEx. Make and keep a copy of the purchase order before and after you've signed it. If the dealer backs out of the deal, you'll have a written quote (the purchase order) to go from if you have to find someone else to honor the price.   You should be able to find nearby dealers by doing a dealer search with your zip code on Hondacars.com.

Replying to: corvette (Dec 21, 2006 8:54 pm) I looked for a 2007 Honda CR-V 2WD EX-L White with Roof Rack(MSRP $25,684). After checking with several dealers in my area and within a 300 mile radius, there was only ONE of these vehicles(in white) within 6 states of my location. One dealer in my location would not budge below MSRP. Several had new CR-V's(EX-L's)coming in that were already pre sold. The earliest I would be able to get one was mid-February. I didn't want to wait that long. So, after dickering with a dealer back and forth, the most I could get him to come down was to $24,900(with the roof rack added and installed). I drove 3 hours to KC pick it up. The lowest price I was able to negotiate with other dealers was $24,200(without a roof rack) but none of them had one and would have to trade another dealer for one. The problem is that no dealers are willing to give one of these up to another dealer right now.   I know I overpaid by a few hundred, but that will make little difference in my payment. Also, I am happier than I thought I would be with my new CR-V(I was also considering a RAV4 Limited). IMO, you can't beat the value of an EX-L CR-V vs. a RAV4 Limited. I may have overpaid a little, but I got the color and car I wanted. This is my first new car and so far I am very pleased. Replies to this message: nearmsp (Dec 22, 2006 7:18 am)

Replying to: chief71 (Dec 22, 2006 5:57 am) Congratulations! I am noticing that the one of the ways of getting a lower price is either to negotiate for what is on the lot - saying you will buy right away this is my final price or, saying time is not an issue and you are happy to place an order if the price is right. Month ends work better because they start counting their numbers for the month.   Nothing like paying just a couple of hundred dollars extra if you can have it before the holidays!

Replying to: nearmsp (Dec 21, 2006 9:23 am) FWIW, Richfield-Bloomington Honda tried a classic "bait and switch" on me in the summer of 2005. Plus, the finance guy tried to pull a fast one too. And, yes, the "internet manager" was a young man just as you described him earlier . The e-mail quotes worked great for me, but that was quite a different situation - buying a 05 model in 2005 compared to trying to get a deal on a new MY vehicle that is popular anyway. Good luck.
