Replying to: crusher99 (Oct 28, 2007 4:39 am) How did you get all the quotes via internet? I submitted all email quotes (some via Honda's official site dealer quote and most directly entered into the dealers' sites). All I get so far are emails from sales representives asking me to call their number to talk. No quote in email received yet. How did you get internet quotes from various dealers? Thanks.

Do you have this model in stock? If yes, could you please give me a quote of your best price? I can buy any time. If not, do you have information about when you will have this model I look for come in? In addition, do you have special financial terms available? My credit score is [920+]. Thanks a lot.

Replying to: eastwing (Oct 29, 2007 9:32 am) Now I am getting some quotes via email. I guess their tactics are try to contact you personally first. After I responded and asking for internet quotes again, many of them did provide internet quotes. However, many quotes are not even broken down enough to tell whether they include destination charges (as you can tell, the quotes are nowhere near invoice or I would have guessed if they include destination).

Replying to: cp999 (Oct 29, 2007 11:17 am) I would suggest that you ask the dealers to provide you with their best price broken down as follows: Base price + Destination + Documentation Fees = Total Price You should limit your initial contact with the dealer to emails - their Internet dept does this all the time. Once you have a firm price from a dealer you can use that target price for the other dealers to beat if they want to sell you the car. You should only contact the dealer by phone or in person after you are comfortable that you have the best deal. By using email you also have proof to show the dealer that you have a specific price and that you are serious about making a deal. My dealer asked me to show him the email from the other dealer before he matched the price. Don't be shy about negotiating via email, you will certainly save yourself a lot of time and effort. The dealer's objective is to get you into the showroom so you have to play on his turf by his rules. The internet approach gives you more of an even playing field and a competitive bidding process which works to your advantage. Good Luck.

Replying to: crusher99 (Oct 29, 2007 5:14 pm) Thanks for the advices. After sending requests to around 10 dealers, I got about 5~6 quotes so far. I will certainly try to get all info before going into their showroom, as I have no intention of driving around to more than a couple of dealers. Unfortunately, I have a trade-in which will make things more complicated as I don't think I can get a quote on a trade-in before they look at it? |

| Just purchased New 07 CRV EX AWD w/out NAV, as equipped, no accessories, for $24.463 OTD. Selling price was $22,500 ....Bought in Northern CA from Winter Honda (internet department). I was in multiple communication with about 5 other dealers (all internet department); a lot of them said 24,600 was impossible to do, that no dealer would do it. Just keep waiting and keep asking for your price and one of the dealer will give it to you --- just got to not be in a rush thats all | |

I'd like to suggest a format for posting your Price Paid. This is helpful since the dealers tack on fees and fees vary from dealer to dealer. A dealer may give $200 off MSRP lower the price but then add on $200 for "other fees".... Description: MSRP (includes destination): Invoice (includes destination): Add-Ons: Cost + Description Tag Fee: Tax Fee: Dealer/Document Fees: Other Fees: -------- OTD Thanks, -d

For those considering getting the navigation system. If the navigation system is the primary reason you are getting one then I would suggest that you reconsider. "But this flare was moderate and short-lived; in 2011 and 2012, during the next solar maximum, flares are expected to be 10 times as intense and last much longer, causing signal drops of over 90 percent for several hours." Now, in the above statement, no where does it state the frequency of the flares. So if it's twice a year, no big deal (I still wouldn't fly that day!). But if it happens once a week.... They are launching new/additional statilites but will the new systems be compatible with current receivers? Just Food for Thought, -d |
