Newbee asking for price opinion by xquisite
Jul 17, 2007 (6:27 pm)
Reply
I'm a newbee to the site and I haven't found a hit on here for San Diego CA but pardon me if it's already been posted.
 
Wanted this forum's opinion on an offer.
 
Honda CR-V 2007 EX 2WD, Glacier Blue/Gray Int
Roof rack
Running boards OR black side steps
Cargo cover
Trunk tray
Wheel locks
Splash guards
OTD $25,000 (my tax is for San Diego, California)
 
Any thoughts? I figure tax+licensing is about 9% here which equates to ~$2000 therefore the asking price is about ~$23000. Let me know if you know if anyone else who got a sweeter deal within the Southern Cal area. Thanks.

What are all the fees? by oli1

I am purchasing a CRV for $21,900 before all fees and taxes.
Now I understand they can really stick it to you with all the fees. What should I know about all the fees they can legally charge me? And of these fees what $ amount can they charge me and what is negotiatable.

Here is a list of things you should expect to pay:
state sales tax
title
license fee
state inspection
doc fee (only $50 in my area- you may be able to get them to drop this one if you agree to handle the paperwork yourself)
some states charge an inventory tax (I think it is also negotiable)
 
You do not have to pay fees like:
VIN etching
dealer prep (or just about anything that says dealer in front of it)
advertising fees
port fees
 
If you call your tax office and give them the selling price, then they will tell you how much you should pay for ttl.

California Advertising fee included in invoice? by pmarcos
Jul 18, 2007 (6:43 pm)

Hi, I'm shopping for a CR-V 2WD EX and one of my local dealers quoted me a price where he said invoice for a a 2WD EX was $22059 whereas edmunds and kbb both say invoice is $21846. When I asked him about this he said that Honda was now has a 1% dealer advertising fee for all dealers in California. Has anybody else heard of this?

I haven't heard of the dealer advertising fee. However, as an earlier poster pointed out, any fee with the word "dealer" in front of it should be negotiated (preferably waived). I would go back to that dealer with your Edmunds and KBB pricing in hand to show the difference in invoice pricing so you can work from the best price.
 
And regarding the 2008 CRV, I found a vehicle review article here:
Autoweek.com Article -- 2008 CRV
 
I wonder if they really reviewed the '08 model. It doesn't cite any differences (other than price) between '07 and '08, but I would think there are some. Does anyone have other sources on this?
 
By the way, I'm still undecided on the CRV, but if any dealers or Honda executives are lurking on this message board ... consumers are tired of the car-buying "game"!

We are waiting for 08 model comes out and buy 07 is hoping the newer model comes=08, the older model=07 will be cheaper. The newer model should have some advance features, so older model should have more discount. Plus, when Honda has new models, other companies can have new models too. Like Toyota Highlander, 08 model looks very cool too. I still like CRV the most, so I am waiting for a lower price. Hopefully, when 08 model comes, 07 model will sell less.
  
The 08 CRV body shape shouldn't change much or no change at all. It should least for a few years. This applies to all cars.
 
The best thing is you don't have to buy it now, so hang on to your 11 yrs old car.

I read somewhere that Honda's advertising fees are already included in the invoice price, so I would ask them to waive the fee.

Hi all! I was seriuosly jerked around by several dealers, but I am now the happy owner of my 07 CRV w/ Navi. I love it!!! Paid sticker price, purchased in January. At first the gas mileage was way lower than expected, but now that it's broken in a little bit I am getting about 27 mpg! Love it.

Ad fees by bob57

I've noticed dealerships (especially, Honda) will try the "Advertising Fee" on you to see if they can get away with it. When you start walking the "fee" suddenly goes away...
I'm waiting for the fee on the full tank of gas...
