OK. I went to Sport Honda in Silver Spring, MD and went home with a new CR-V EX AWD auto Black on Ivory. I got a great deal and I highly recommend Sport Honda in Silver Spring (3101 Automobile Blvd). There were too many customers buying new automobiles - every sales rep were occupied. ATTENTTION all sales rep and customers- Sport Honda is the place to be. My sales rep, Alex Chan, was dealing with 2 customers at the same time and saw them leave with new vehicles. General Manager, Mike Freedman, was very helpful. Not only he gave me a great deal, he help put on my tags. Sorry people, I cannot provide you the actual out the door price but I know Sport Honda is the best compare to Criswell, Jim Coleman, College Park Honda, and Ourisman Honda in Bethesda. Sport Honda does not install any accessories that you do not want. Unless you want specific accesories on them and they can install them prior to purchase. Other dealers have accesories on their vehicles because it another way of forcing you to pay for them. You cannot have a dealer take off any installed accesories because "it's hard to take them out" one dealer says. Another dealer says "labor cost". For people who are handy, I suggest to but the genuine honda accesories over the Internet. Amen.

What's wrong with revealing the out the door price you paid for your CR-V to the members of this forum? Not to be opinionated, your speech sounds kinda like a rehearsal as if you're working for Sports Honda. I'm a potential CR-V buyer and not working for any dealership but can't help from saying what I think here.

The reason why I cannot reveal my out the door price is because the dealer will make little money and may go out of business. The general manager, Mike Freedman, is nice enough to give it to me yesterday beause he is "at the time" working on selling in volumes rather than getting customers to pay a lot more. Also, the car I wanted is in the lot - CRV AWD EX black. Timing really matters and I just happen to be on the right time. It may still be a right time. I started with getting quotes from Edmunds.com with my zipcode 20906 a week ago. It started with email quotes and they usually starts below MSRP. You can worked them out until they give you the best prize. Make sure that you have every quotes in writing or stated in the email. All I can tell you is that I told every dealer about the quote on this forum which is documented (message #6709) hockeyfool's $22,000 (car and freight only - thanks hockeyfool) on a new 2008 CR-V EX AWD. Try to be avasive about the location. Only taxes, processing fee, and title may differ from state to state. The only thing I did not like is Alex from Sport Honda did not respond right away to my emails. You have to be patient. Trick that I stumbled on is when I said I was going to meet the dealer after work, I end up not going and not telling them that I couldn't make it. It made them called me back and asked why. My answer to that is "so and so dealer beat your quote for so and so dollar amout. Then, dealer will try to beat it. This happened a couple of times. Just be patient as well. It took me a week. I told them my situation - my car got totalled (99 accord ex) and I need a safer but fuel efficient SUV. I told them I have a bank check that will cover the out the door prize. I think it's a game that you need to get the right prize and that number should be really low and close to their selling number. Let me know how it went.
BTW, I am not working for Sport Honda. My statements are true about Sport Honda. All my hondas are serviced at Sport Honda and they do great work and customer service. Another trick I learned about service is that if that the service is not part of the warranty liek alignment, I tell the service person that I have a coupon for so and so. I asked if they can put it in the warranty and it will help us both, me not paying for it and dealer charging as high as they can for it through Honda - and it works. Your car must be still under warranty to do this. Good luck and I hope you get the best deal.

I bought a CR-V EX recently.
The best internet quote I got was 23000 + destination (635)
I ended up paying 23235 + TTL.
I checked on Edmunds and the Invoice price was at approximately 22500. I thought I got an OK deal. Edmunds shows my price to be below what people have been paying in the region. So, I didnt bother much.
I have seen people say they are paying much less in other states I didnt realize that the destination charge is essentially the dealer's profit.
Looking at what others are paying, I feel I could have paid a good 1000 - 1500 less.
Part of the problem also was that I was in a desperate need to buy a new car and this was the only dealer that had a AWD EX for the specific color.
In summary, take your time, research everything and go in with a price that is a good 3000 below anything they quote.

2008 CR-V LX 2WD

I'm in the market for a CR-V LX 2WD. Best quotes I've gotten so far are: $19,900 from a dealership in LA (I'm in San Diego) and $19,590 for a 2007 (from a dealership in Fontana.) The quote from the LA dealership includes destination, but not taxes and license, and the one in Fontana doesn't include taxes, license and destination. So, are these good prices?
Thanks!

I agree with you about Criswell. As far as what I've experienced so far, the internet sales guy cites a very lubricous quote just so that you can show up to the lot and only to experience the manager saying 'no' that they can't beat the price because they say they don't make profit or other shebang. Criswell quoted me $19964 for the base price for a 2008 CRV 4WD in White (the color I like) and I thought I was gonna bring a car home that day. When I showed up, they didn't have the car on the lot and the manager said 'no' to the price the internet sales guy quoted me earlier so I walked out the door. Guess it's an old trick they play and for sure it's not new.

To all members.
After reading all the previous letters posted over the last month or so I have come to the conclusion that there are great deals! on the CR-V. The best I have read about was from a member who paid $21,395 for a EX-AWD from Dublin Honda just outside of the Bay area of San Francisco. I notice Honda do not have any offers' on this model, and the sales guy's will try to steer you into a gas guzzling Pilot which is on offer for around $23,000 with a low interest rate of 0.9 or 1.9 apr.
So! what with the recession on the horizon, I think it is only a matter of time before Honda get off their 'High Horse' and offer deals on the Cr-V. compatable with the Pilot deals now. I should have thought that the economic climate we will be seeing will bring down finance rates for those of us who have to use them! (or am I wrong?)
Anyway I'm going to wait a few months before buying but will continue to read the experiences of you buyers out there! so keep those letters rolling in.
Thanks. Martin (from Oakland ca)

The best quote I have for a 2008 CR-V AWD LX is $19, 800 - car only. Remember to mention to dealers that we are "in recession" and that it's buyer's market. Walk away if dealer is not willing to go below invoice price.
