I just got my Black 07, CR-V, 2WD, EX-L, with Navigation. The MSRP was steady around here, at least among the four or so dealers from which I rec'd quotes. I went with the one that offered slightly less than the dealer closest to me. No dealers had any selections on the lot. Even the one I test drove on my first examination of the vehicle was missing from one week to the next. The price quoted without Navi was 26,595. With Navi 27,395. I went with the dealer that offered a "special discount" that took 800 off the price for 26,595 plus tax, destination charge,tags and a 99 processing fee. With the couple of extras I ordered the total was 28,800. I waited about two weeks for the vehicle to arrive. I don't know how I could have done better in the Balto-DC area, anyone had better luck?

Replying to: isellhondas (Feb 14, 2007 1:58 pm) What people that wait a year to buy a CR-V really save? $500 or more? First of all, when you wait a year, you get a 08 CR-V, not 07 CR-V. Big difference in value. Second, if you determine that your payment would be $500 if you bought the car this year, you can put that money aside and after a year you'll end up with $6000. Third, you save those aforementioned $500 because you didn't buy the car for the MSRP. Fourth, if you incur even $2000 in repairs in that year + say $3000 depreciation of your current vehicle you still end up $1500 ahead AND you have a '08 vehicle, not the '07. If you add those $1500 to the down payment which you'd apply to your vehicle anyway, your payments/interest/everything would be much lower (again for a newer type of vehicle). Anyway, what I am trying to tell to everybody, while CR-V might be in demand and cost a little under MSRP - wait and you'll get it for less. Sooner or later. That's why you're here. To save money.

I am still in the break in period and got 27 mpg for an MN-WI trip. We had 2 snow storms here in the last 10 days and the CRV was a pleasure to drive through unplowed roads. It was well worth waiting for the CRV. I almost went in for a RAV4 at one stage.

Replying to: hondaguy67 (Jan 23, 2007 5:59 pm) I waited for some time to reply to this message (click on the link to what I am replying to (#4291). It turns out that in the recent Consumer Reports, that car that I bought(small SUV) ranks better than CR-V. And they should know, they test cars and SUV's high and low, left and right. |

Replying to: hondaguy67 (Jan 23, 2007 1:36 pm) I will use this analogy, you get more standard features and a higher quality vehicle than any other vehicle at the same price. if you want to wait go ahead but there are no9promises that you can get that deal, and too be honest why would you buy an inferior vehicle for roughly the same price just because you will not pay MSRP???" Replying to #4285: Ditto! So, hondaguy, go and buy the famous March issue of Consumer Reports and see who's got an inferior vehicle.

Replying to: nearmsp (Mar 06, 2007 8:00 pm) Glad to hear from you. Sorry for not responding immediately, I had some cleaning up to do. This guy thrashed me so badly back in January that I couldn't resist but... Never mind. But I am glad you finally got what you wanted AND paid less than MSRP! That's what I have been preaching all along. Why not get what you want for less. You still get a good vehicle like the next guy who paid $1360 more. And doesn't that feel good? Now you are covered for gas, at 27 mpg, that $1360 will buy you a lot of gas. I hope you enjoy your new baby for a loooong time to come. You should also try MN-UT trip. Many good off-road trails to drive our cars on, get some dirt, scratch that new shiny paint, get some rock chips on the windows. Naah, rather not. If you ever drive by - wave...

So I bought a 07 EX-L AWD with Navigation for $27,595, $1,000 below MSRP in Boston area. I think it is pretty good deal. Just wanted to share. Good luck!

Just bought a 4WD EX in a suburb of Chicago and paid as follows: $24,645 - list with destination 84 - wheel locks 118 - splash guards 24,847 - total sticker 23,975 - PAID $ 872 - Below Sticker In IL the document fee is not required by law but may be charged and is limited to $58.48. State tax is 7%, County Tax is .75%, license and title fee was $80. I realize the wheel locks and splash guards are highly over priced. I traded in a 1999 Accord in good condition with 107,000 miles and got $4,750. Financing was 6.9% for 5 years through Honda. There was some "fuzzy math," going on, but this is what the deal boiled down to. Perhaps I didn't do a great job of negotiating, but they had what I wanted, I was anxious and so far I'm a happy CR-V owner. This may be helpful to other prospective buyers. Any thoughts? |
