Whereabouts are you in PA? Get a quote from Apple Honda in York, PA (www.applehonda.com) if you haven't already. They quoted me a base sales price of $22,265 (not including freight, tax, fees, etc.) which put them in the #3 ranking of my 23 dealers. If I wasn't able to secure a deal from a dealer in MD or VA, I would have purchased from Apple Honda.

My 28400 didn't include 635 destination charge. The invoice price I got was from Edmunds and also recall one of the dealers mentioning it on the phone. The quote was given by Planet Honda in NJ. Based on many of the posts this price still seems high. I am hoping to get this lowered by another $1000. I am in no hurry but would like to get it done by end of this month. Let me know what your timeline for making this purchase is.

I hope to get it done in a week or so. I try to get a price from edmunds but they don't include any accessories. Like prices for roof racks or running boards but I can do without those. All I want is an 2008 EX-L w/ NAV. I'm just wondering if it's possible to get invoice for these car right now. Everyone is saying it's a hot item but I don't really see that many around the NJ area.

HELP! Bare Bones EX CR-V in Atlanta by robsdad

Trying to buy a 2WD EX Honda CR-V. Keep getting quoted $23585 + TTL. Way too high I suspect. Anyone in Atlanta find a great dealer to buy a honda under MSRP?
 
My brother in law works for Ford. Can get 2-3% off dealer invoice + incentives for an Explorer. But i really want to go with honda (reliability).
 
So I guess my questions are:
 
1. Would you get the CRV or the Explorer? We are a family of three right now.... maybe 4 later.
 
2. Where are the SUPERIOR Atlanta dealerships who know how to deal AND take care of the customer after the sale.
 
Thank You!

I was quoted an email price from Autowest Honda in fremont for $19,500 (rounding off here) and Dublin Honda said $100 under any email quote price. Called Dublin Honda, told them the email, told them what day I'd be in, brought both emails, test drove the car, said I'll take it, went inside and wrote a check for $21,395.13.
Yes that is below invoice. Key is to go at the end of the month so they meet their quota and want to get rid of a car.
  I hope those were the details you were looking for, other than that email me I guess. loonichicaol.com

Here is the summary of the 23 price quotes (after final counteroffers) that I had compiled from the dealers. Note that these prices are just the base sales price and does not include destination/freight, processing fees, any dealer-installed options or accessories, sales tax, tags/title, and any other fees.

DEALER...........................................................SALES PRICE
Heritage Honda - Westminster, MD.....................21,165.00
Ourisman Honda - Laurel, MD.............................21,739.00
Rosenthal Landmark Honda - Alexandria, VA.......22,188.82
Sport Honda - Silver Spring, MD..........................22,257.00
Apple Honda - York, PA.....................................22,265.00
Browns Honda City - Glen Burnie, MD.................22,350.00
Jim Coleman Honda - Clarksville, MD..................22,395.00
Hersons Honda - Rockville, MD...........................22,450.00
Bill Page Honda - Falls Church, VA.....................22,500.00
Anderson Honda - Baltimore, MD........................22,556.00
Koons Honda - Manassas, VA............................22,656.00
Ourisman Honda - Bethesda, MD........................22,706.00
Criswell Honda - Germantown, MD......................22,765.00
O'Donnell Honda - Ellicott City, MD.....................22,856.00
Sheehy Honda - Alexandria, VA..........................22,863.00
Jones Honda - Lancaster, PA.............................22,950.00
Rosenthal Fairfax Honda - Fairfax, VA.................22,995.00
Browns Arlington Honda - Arlington, VA...............22,999.00
Honda of Tysons Corner - Vienna, VA..................23,065.00
Pohanka Honda - Marlow Heights, MD.................23,217.00
Hendrick Honda - Woodbridge, VA.......................23,268.00
College Park Honda - College Park, MD...............23,400.00
Leesburg Honda - Leesburg, VA..........................24,245.00
 
As always, your mileage may vary on the quotes that you may have received from the same dealer compared to mine due to multiple factors or variables. Hope the above data points will help those who are in the market for a 2008 CR-V 4WD EX in the Washington DC metro market.
 
NOTE: The $21.1K figure from Heritage was a B&S tactic and the actual price went up another $1K at the end. Also, the price from Ourisman of Laurel may vary from an additional $100-$300 more depending on the day/time and who you talk to, and whatever other options that comes with the car. Landmark had quoted me an OTD price but the numbers weren't firm between the sales person and the sales manager, so be wary if you're planning on dealing with any of these dealers that they don't switch the numbers on you.

So did you get the car at invoice? Is the EX more popular than the EX-L? Just wondering since I'm about to start emailing but I don't know if I should have a price included in the email. Should I just ask them for there best deal?

According to my calculations, I paid $200 below "invoice" and almost $1900 below MSRP. Since I'm not privy to some of the true cost figures that only dealers would know, my calculations were based on Edmunds's figures.
 
Here in the metro DC area, EX is more readily available than EX-L's and majority of vehicles are 4WD trims. For instance, when I look at say, Landmark Honda's website that shows their new inventory for CR-Vs, they currently show 21, of which 2 are LX's (one 4WD, one FWD), 17 are 4WD EX's and 2 are 4WD EX-L's. This is fairly typical of most dealers in the area from what I have noticed.
 
If you're just starting on your shopping, go to Honda's website and to their "Request a Quote" link here. Select a model/trim/color and put in your information and Honda will then forward it to your nearest dealer of your choosing. Repeat for at least 5 dealers to get a sampling of prices and negotiate from the lowest one.
 
Regards,
David

The dealer pretty much made up his profit selling you the mud guards and wheel locks at a crazy price. The mud guards can be bought online for $25 and wheel locks at $29, shipping would probably be less than $10 depending on your location.... You did well, except in these 2 areas... they are items that are easy to install!
