Replying to: beerlover (Feb 17, 2007 2:46 pm) My sister in law and wife are both getting 07 CR-V's AWD EX-L with Navi. Because we are buying 2 I was able to get $1,000 off msrp for both, and that was by going through the internet departments of 2 dealers (Ken Garff and Willey Honda) that beat each other's offers until we bottomed out at the $1000 off. TMV in my area is just $200 off msrp. I knew that $1000 off msrp is good for the way these cars are selling but I still went into Ken Garff and tried to get an even better deal from the salesperson. The only thing he would do is match Willey's doc fee that is $100 cheaper. He seemed annoyed that he was mathcing the other dealer's offer and let us walk without really trying to get the sale, which told me we really did have a good deal. Although for the work of 1 sale he was moving 2 cars, so I was surprised he didn't try harder to make the sale. He probably knows he can sell them for more, but still. So I confidently went to Willey Honda and had a much more pleasant experience. But as we were signing the hold orders (both cars are just coming off the production line in Japan, e.g. 3 week wait)the salesperson confided that their average discount for shoppers is $500 - $550 off msrp, and that through Costco you only get $300 off. He said that for the CR-V it was not a good idea to go through Costco - this may be different for other cars, I don't know. My advice is before you go through Costco see what sort of a deal you can get through the internet dept. of your dealer. A lot of the time the internet sales people are allowed to make deals that show room salespeople can't. I haven't decided on accessories yet if any, but here are the numbers for each car as they stand until the cars come in: MSRP + Dest. fee: $28,595 Discount: -$ 1,000 Taxes  6.5%: $ 1,793 Doc fee: $ 199 Title, Reg: $ 197 My Price: $29,784 Now my questions is: Do I have any chance at getting any deal on accessories or working any better deal now that I've ordered the cars? And did I get as good a deal as I think I did? |

Hello everyone, I am actually in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, not the city. Anyway, I have narrowed down my vehicle search to a glacier blue metallic CR-V EX-L (with navi). I was told the best way to buy a car is to find out the invoice, add on a fair profit for the dealer and then try and find a dealer who will match that price. I am trying to find the invoice on this vehicle but so far have only found the price of $25,800. I know the MSRP 9with destination) is around $28,000. Does anyone have another invoice price? What is a “fair” profit to offer the dealer? Also, is there a “good” time to buy a car? I was told the end of March is a good time. Thanks in advance for any help!! Chris

Replying to: mnf (Feb 17, 2007 9:40 pm)  at this point, i may be going with an '06 LX with 19K miles that the dealer will install a moonroof into for me. under 20K, all said and done. i hate car shopping. it's been dragging on and i'm almost in tears. |

As in, too high to buy and expect a reliable car that I can drive for 10 years? I'm having a hard time finding the options/cost balance (see my earlier post about my too-good-to-be-true deal car having mystery accident damage...) in a car under 30K, but at the 40K level, I can afford the EX package, etc. Is there a common "tipping point" for CR-Vs? Should I hop on a good deal for, say, a 2004 with 42K miles, or hold out for something newer/lower? Thanks!

This is a question for Isellhondas and other dealers on the forum. Do you know in what month Honda usually releases the new model year? When will the 2008 CRV likely come out? Do you think it is likely that Honda will make changes to the CRV, for example offering more interior/exterior color combinations (e.g. currently the choice of exterior colors is very limited if you want ivory interior). Thanks

Replying to: yangdari (Feb 19, 2007 12:06 pm) Since the CRV is a new model this year, I would expect few if any changes. They might dump a slow selling color and add another. As far as I'm concerned they could dump that ivory interior all together although I'm sure it sells better in hot climates. |
