Just bought my new (silver) CRV at College Park Honda and am loving it!! For those in the DC/MD/VA area, I found the forums here really helpful and ended up buying my car at the one recommended by someone else here- only after having several horrible experiences at other dealerships. At College Park we ended up with an OTD price (including DC tax (6.2%), tags, title, and $100 non-negotiable processing fee) of $25,250. They initially offered a price only $200 below MSRP- after 3 hours of negotiating we settled on $23,100- $950 below MSRP. Financing and bringing the car from another dealership went smoothly and everything is in perfect order now. Places to avoid: Honda of Bowie, and Landmark Honda. The guys at Landmark Honda were real bullies and seemed to think that if they talked faster it would negate the fact that I had done my research and knew their numbers. We walked out of there unable to come to any agreement, although the place was dead and they were desperate to sell something. Honda of Bowie was even worse. I had an internet price quote sent to me for a CRV EX 4WD that was only $200 above invoice. Although I had initially requested information for a 2WD, the price seemed so good (and there seemed to be so few 2WDs) that we kept in contact with the salesperson and made an appt. to see the car- this was 4 days before actually going out there. She called us early in the morning before our appt. We missed the call, and called back twice as we drove out there- she did not respond to being paged from the operator. When we got there she apologized, as there had been a 'typo' and the quote we had received was actually for a 2WD!! It was a lot to pay for a 2WD, and moreover was totally dishonest. I called her on the 'bait and switch' tactic but she told me that she had sent me an e-mail earlier that morning (while I was driving the 25 miles to Bowie), which basically covered her ass from any official complaints. Her manager refused to speak to us and we left after being treated very poorly. Bottom line: avoid Bowie! But try to find a dealership outside the beltway, and be prepared for less flexibility right now in negotiating on 2WDs. And don't believe the appearance package jargon! If you don't want extras added onto your CRV for huge amounts of money, then tell them to get a car without the appearance package. It's doable, they come off the trucks everyday free of wheel locks, mudguards, and other things that dealerships like to charge a huge premium for. |

Thank the forum for providing me with helpful info and now is my time to contribute back. I've bought a 2007 Honda CR-V EX AWD at Honda Village in Boston. First I asked about price over the phone from several dealership. The best offer about base price I got was $22,950. I eventually went down to Honda Village and got a price of $22,700. This price does not include tax (5.5% for Mass), title, and a flat processing fee. If I understand correctly this is $250 under invoice and $1900 under MRSP. I felt that there was room for further neogiaton but I did not really have time to do that because my daughter was really fuzzy. Anyway hope this helps and wish you all get a good deal.

Replying to: adgeka (May 02, 2007 9:27 am) I am looking for CR-V EX 2WD. Is $23,300 OTD or sale price? I am right now negotiating for $23,500 OTD for CR-V EX 2WD. Is that worth to fight for this price or should I bump up my prices?

Just bought a Honda CRV EX 2wd today. I got several internet quotes and just went to the dealer with the lowest quote. I got a quote of $22,445 which was $1000.00 under the msrp. I tried to bargain for lower than that but they wouldnt budge. I finally convinced them to throw in free wheel locks of which they just deducted $50.00 off when it came time to add everything up. In the end, I ended up with $22,395.00 with no added options. With 7.75% tax in CA, my OTD price with tax, title, registration was about $24,400.00. They did not have the car i wanted in stock, so i bought a car in transit with the VIN number which should be arriving in about 10days. Hope that helps everyone here. I've sure learned a lot from reading about everyone's experiences.

Replying to: parmar (May 02, 2007 9:27 pm) $23,300 is the sale price for the 4WD and it includes the $595 destination charge. It excludes tax (6.5% for me), title, license and my trade in value. Good luck! DM |
