Replying to: wandafonda (Jan 06, 2008 9:18 am) Thanks for the details on your transaction. It sounds like you really did your homework before you bought the car. What was your total out the door price (if yoo do not mine me asking)? |

Replying to: meisha (Jan 06, 2008 11:36 am) Please define what you consider my total out the door price. I've seen so many people with different ideas about what out the door means that I'm not sure I'd know what you would want it to mean. The number that I posted for the CRV is the number that is best used to compare what the car is actually going for. Again, I got a Honda 2008 CRV EXL 4wd with Nav for $27,223 with destination and this price does not include any taxes or fees. Since taxes and fees vary from State to State it doesn't make any sense to tell you the total price I paid out the door because it would vary in each state. Also, I transferred my tags and that was a different fee than if I had gotten new ones. Then I added a dealer installed mirror so I'm not including that in the price because others may not want that included in the figure and then have to subtract it. So if you add together $27,223 with Taxes NJ = 7% tire fee $7.50, document fee = $125, NJ online document fee = $7.70 Supplemental title fee = $ 47.50 you'll get one of the many versions of an out the door price. Again none of the fees matter for comparison purposes if you know what you need to know. This is how dealers play bait and switch with people that are confused about what numbers are important and which ones are not. You have to know all the numbers before you walk into any dealer so that when they start talking about the total you can say no, we're going to do it like this, "this is the price I am paying for the car, this is the amount I am paying for the accessories, this is the amount I am supposed to pay for this fee and that fee and I will not pay any advertising or dealer prep or other garbage fees". As for the fees, they vary and you have to figure out in advance which ones apply to you and how you are going to do the purchase. For example I transferred my tags from the old vehicle to the new one. This is a different fee than if I had gotten new tags or needed out of state registration and tags. So the most important thing to know is the cost for each segment of the deal, whether it be vehicle price, option price, tax or each of the separate fees that your state may charge for this and that. If I gave you an out the door price with out telling you what was included in that you couldn't compare offers. By giving the $27,223 price with out any of the other junk..... I gave you an idea of what the car (with destination fee) is going for in this region. Because we have to know all of this when we do the deal, it makes shopping from dealer to dealer somewhat of a headache, especially if you are looking at dealerships in different states with different state mandated fees. But by knowing all of the components ahead of time, you can keep track of what each part of the deal is costing you so the dealer can't take advantage of your ignorance. Ya gotta do your homework before you set foot in a dealership otherwise you run the risk of being taken advantage of. As for the fees I would look at your state's web site and see what the DMV is charging. Call the dealership and see what they have to say. Make a list and check it twice, that way you'll know which dealer is naughty and which is being nice! I hope that helps, Wanda Fonda Honda

Replying to: wandafonda (Jan 06, 2008 4:00 pm) I to am impressed to read your posts (a little long winded but given some of the posts/replys I can certainly understand why) I also consider myself a "well informed" car buyer & it is a pleasure to read from someone like yourself who has taken the time & effort to understand the car buying process & walk into a dealer well informed & ready..."kudo's" to you & your deal! enjoy your new "V"

Replying to: crvme3 (Jan 08, 2008 7:19 pm) Shopping for a 2008 EXL AWD with Navi best price same dealer is giving me is $27,555 (plus NJ tax etc)- or about $500 over invoice. I think I can get him down a little more but he's got nothing in stock so it's a waiting game. Dealer is Joyce Honda in Denville NJ - I emailed the internet department. |

Hello, If I put a deposit for a CRV EX-L w/ Nav, quote of 29k, can I ask for a refund of this deposit as I now see this was way too high for a quote? I recieved a matching quote after I put down the deposit for$27,629 from another dealer in WA. I know I know, I should have done my homework much better
