My car broke down while I was in a search of a new car. As a result I was on rental for week and I was desperate to get a new car.
 
I bought Honda CR-V EX AWD from Paramus, NJ on Feb 20, 2008.
 
Dealer was offering me invoice price
23092 + 7% NJ tax + Doc & Tire Fee (206.5) + Registration Fee (234$)
 
About 4-5 days ago I walked out on the deal putting an offer of
 
22K + + 7% NJ tax + Doc & Tire Fee (206.5) + Registration Fee (234$)
 
They said they can do something like 22.5K + + 7% NJ tax + Doc & Tire Fee (206.5) + Registration Fee (234$)
 
I declined it. Then I visited Mawah Honda, TerryTown Honda, Nanuet Honda, Jersey City Honda, Clifton Honda......
 
ALl of them said deal is too good to be true and I should buy from them if they really offer me that.
 
All them said max they can do is Invoice or 100$ over invoice. No other accessories etc
 
So i decided to buy at 22.5K + + 7% NJ tax + Doc & Tire Fee (206.5) + Registration Fee (234$)
 
When i went to the dealer they backed out. They said best they can do is 22.9K + 7% NJ tax + Doc & Tire Fee (206.5) + Registration Fee (234$)
 
Since I was running rental car for almost a week and i have some other family issue, I didn't get chance to bargin much then.
 
I took the deal. Its 200$ under invoice.
 
Worst part is dealership was offering some Internet special like free key replacement etc. They declined to honor that.
 
My total was 24940$ for 2008 Honda CR-V EX AWD.
 
My bad... but thats ok. I am suppose to buy another car in next 3-4 months. I think I will do better shopping.
 
Sales person and business manager were good. However Sales Manager "Moe" in paramus dealership was very rude, dishonest.
 
I hope this helps.
 
Please let me know if its a good deal or not so I can be careful for my next purchase.

This website will change car buying for all of us if we share the good and the bad of buying, reliability, service. Please encourage others to do so to help us all.
 
I'm looking for a 2008 CRV EX 2WD Silver ... with no extras.
 
I've seen where other buyers of different manufacturers have purchased a vehicle at a price significantly below invoice by shopping at a distant dealer and then paying to have the vehicle trucked to the buyer's home. After paying for the trucking, the savings have amounted to at least $1,000. Has anyone had that experience or has a really low price that makes this option attractive for me?
 
Another option posted on this website involves buying through Costco or Sam's Clujb. If you know of these options for Honda, please share the pros and cons of each possibility.
 
The final experience posted here has to do with the success and failure of cooperative/competent dealer service after purchase and after warranty. Please let us know of your experience if you are not a dealer or an employee of one.
 
With the expense of buying a vehicle so high and the quality of the results so varied, this website is especially important to the consumer.
 
I thank all buyers who share with us their experiences of dealer names and prices.

Here is an update for all of you in CA. I got confirmation that the deal for $21,395 OTD was for a 2008 CRV LX 2WD. So the numbers I' ve been trying to get has been a joke to the dealers. So reverting back to what I was planning on spending was:
EX 2WD = $22,800 otd
EX AWD = $23,500 otd
Is anyone else having troubles getting reasonable online quotes? The quotes I' ve been getting is 2WD $24,600 to 25,400 and AWD $25,600 to 26,800 otd which doesn't motivate me to even go there to try offering in person.

I was offered a OTD price of 27.231.44 for a CRV EXL 2WD w/o navi. The price includes 100 over invoice, plus destination fee, plus pro package, plus other fees and taxes. Is this a good deal?

When I was looking for a CRV I attempted to go the Costco route. The dealership that they put me in contact with was out of state and the quote was actually much higher than other quotes I had received through internet sales. I think Costco is good for the type of person who isn't willing to do any work on there own so end up with an okay deal but not as good as though willing to put in some effort.
 
One benefit of Costco though is the interest rates on car loans are very good and can be used to work a better interest rate through the dealership.

$19,800? Now that's something I've never heard from any dealership for a CRV AWD. Who's the dealer who offers this base price by the way? Landmark Honda from VA stated to me that they can knock off $200 off the best price quote out there so far in their email. When I called them up, they say they can't beat it and that they'll charge me 8% in tax even though I live in MD which is supposed to be 6% for car tax The people from Landmark are DEFINITELY not someone you want to deal with. Don't be surprised that they'll do bait and switch on you. Also, because in writing they promise to give $200 off from the best price quote, is that something I can force them to be accountable for what they say through legal means?

Greetings from Houston---
I purchased the CRV-LX yesterday for invoice + destination, so it was 19,800 or so. I think it was a good deal. I love my car!

Thanks, it is a royal blue w/ black interior, I did not purchase any items from the dealer, I did ask the sale person to throw in a set of lock nut. Later on, order a roof rack and a cargo tray ($186/$77) from H&A. So far the car is excellent.

That is the exact vehicle I am waiting for.
I had to place an order for that specific color combination.
Honda has given a build date of late April 2008!
So guess I won't get my CR-V until May or June.
 
Try Bernardi. On certain items their prices are better than HandA.
 
Enjoy. I am patiently/excitedly waiting to get mine.
