You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
I am happy to say that I got my red EX-L CRV this past weekend. After waiting for 14 weeks with Fort Myers without a car in sight I did internet shopping on my own. I was able to get the car from Proctor Honda in Tallahassee in two weeks, although I am waiting on the body side molding (which they are shipping to me). Overall I would rate Proctor Honda very highly, pleasant, efficient and also less expensive than any dealer in SW FL. Good Luck to all in your shopping experience.

Replying to: jack714 (Apr 07, 2007 8:01 pm) leather headed seats Nav etc. MSRP 28,000 Dest. 595 Extras 3,000 (floor mats, cargo mat, hub locks, pinstripe, window tint, paint guard, scotchgaurd, mud flaps, fog lights, running boards) (already dealer installed) 72/100K warranty 1,325 Tax, Title, etc. 1,950 austin texas bottom line, paid MSRP plus tax, title, warranty, got all extras for free loan was 6.64 percent 63 months 5,325 down, 509 a month talked to lots of dealers, best deal was 500 under msrp for AWD model. Figure all the extras were a better deal so I took it. San Marcos Honda was great, honored everything they said on phone they promised before I drove down, plus a few extras. AWD are hard to get in the south It is actually 12 months/40,000 mile warranty since every new Honda is covered by the 60 month/60,000 mile power train warranty on top of the 3 year/36,000 bumper to bumper. |

Finally made my move to purchase the '07 CRV EX-L 2 WD. Price paid was $24,340. I decided against the NAV since for around $300 I can install a removable one myself and use it in future vehicles. One less thing to repair in the CRV years down the road. I'll also add the mud flaps, window visors and wood grain detail myself... you'd be surprised how inexpensive and how easily this can be done yourself... and I'm a girl!  My best advice is to research your vehicle. I actually averaged the prices paid on some forums to decide on a good price for this "hot" car. I don't mind the dealers making a profit, but I doubt any are taking a cruise on the final deal. Good luck, my fellow consumers, and stick to your final price! |

I went yesterday to negotiate for a CRV-EX with no added options and got the final price at $23,580.00 OTD . This is in the Washington DC metro area. After about an hour and a half of frustrating haggling, the OTD price was set. Its amazing how far internet research (holdback info, recent prices paid, invoice, etc..) can go. There's a 5 day waiting period. But here's my dilemma. That is the first and ONLY dealer i went to, and i didn't even do internet quote requests or anything like that. He said if i will sign right there and then, that price is good. But i got overly greedy, and left. My thinking was i could get a better price, i just have to attleast try a few other dealers. I was settling too easily for the first good deal. Now i'm feeling really regretful, since i think i passed up a really great chance. I haven't gone to any other dealers yet, so can't be 100% sure on what i'll get. What should i do? Was that a good price, and should i call him back.

Replying to: dmathew347 (Apr 12, 2007 11:35 am) Just to make you feel better, why don't you send some request for quotes in your area using cars.com website, honda.com website is too cumbersome as you have to send out requests one at a time whereas cars.com is 3 at a time. Tell them exactly what you are looking for down to trim and color. Tell them that their price to beat is your OTD price. You will be surprised at what you will get, especially from dealers with your vehicle in stock ! You might even get a little price war betweem a couple of dealers in the MD-DC area.

Replying to: ccacp (Apr 12, 2007 1:27 pm) Does anyone have a better price on this spec?

Replying to: dmathew347 (Apr 12, 2007 2:00 pm) Invoice is 21846 including destination. You should be able to get it at 23000 easily if you find a dealer in MD. Try Heritage in Westminster and Parkville, they were great to deal with and their prices were hard to beat in other markets. |

After 6 months of constant researching, primarily here on Edmunds, i finally settled on the CRV-EX FWD (silver color) today in the Washington metro area. Its for a FWD-EX with only (mudguards, rack, and wheel locks). The OTD price (includes everything, TTL, destination, processing, etc...) was $23,450. This price is well below Edmunds TMV. Some great dealers i highly recommend in the Washington DC metro area are: Heritage Honda of Parkville Heritage of Westminster College Park Honda They were unwilling to negotiate on the Holdback, but did give me invoice + reduced the processing and registration. And also if you finance with Honda they get a little kickback, so factor that in. Overall, the internet research at Edmunds and the forum members are extremely valuable. I thank everyone sincerely for their feedback. Good Luck.

Replying to: dmathew347 (Apr 13, 2007 12:24 pm) Considering that the wheel locks are about 30 dollars, the mud guards 40 dollars and the rack is 200 dollars from accessories stores you got it about 400 dollars off your previous lowest price. 23 180 OTD for an EX FWD is a great deal ! Congrats ! Again, there are good deals to be had in select markets you just need to find them using requests for quotes |
