I am on Long Island NY and in the market for the CRV AWD EX-L w/ Nav. system. Can anyone tell me what they paid recently for this vehicle? Thanks in advance.

Be warned! about Walnut Creek Honda just outside of San Francisco. I told them I had a lower price on a CR-V 2WD when going there the other week and the sales guy pulled out his phone and told me to call the dealership and take the deal! when I would not tell him who offered it to me. He was starting to get really pissed off' when he couldn't 'work me'. Also they tried offering me a really low price on my trade, and he backed it up with a comparison price which he'd found on the net and printed out. However the price he showed me was for a Focus SE. and not a Focus SES which I have. He thought I'd not spotted it as he tried to keep his thumb over the word and got real snitty' when I pointed it out to him and told him that if he had given me the SES price it would have been more in line with what I wanted (in relation to what the SE price was) As you can imagine I walked out! When I do buy I think it will be from either San Leandro or Dublin Honda as they didn't treat me like a idiot. Although now retired, I've been in the 'car game! for most of my life and am aware of the ploys/tricks/stunts that desperate salesmen will pull to brow beat you into a sale!. But of course! they don't know that. Hah! Hah! Hah! ...............

Replying to: snagy1 (Apr 08, 2008 5:05 am) I'm waiting to see how deep the recession bites! before buying a new vehicle and I am spending the time (until then) fishing' for a good deal. I'd hate to go for 'my best deal' only to see a better one on this site a short time later!. I'm not on this planet to feed the fat face of some c.e.o. crook of a car dealership. Many car dealerships have 'mob' money behind them as it is a lucrative business to get into. ( or are you going to tell me that when you go to Vegas and spend money gambling that none of it ends up in the pockets of the mob!, come on! open your eyes up!) America is built on three things! graft! greed! and corruption! (and I am sorry for it!) and one must tread a path between all three if you are basically an honest person. You only have to look at our politicians and how they make their money, to see how this country of ours! works. Anyway enough said!. a free market will find its own level; vehicles are overpriced to start with. Remember they will charge what you willing to pay! That is what this site is all about' finding and reporting the best deal' (per sae). Have a good day. Martin.

Replying to: snagy1 (Apr 08, 2008 1:33 pm) Yes! I'd wait until the fall and see what offers come from Honda or your local dealerships. Do some fishing! like i do!, and learn from the verbal input when you get into it with the sales guy. Don't buy however!. just see what they will go too! and learn from each encounter. Be 'thick skinned', do not get upset, when you are insulted! It will be hard. Go by yourself, they will see you as a 'easy mark' to be worked. whatever you do DO NOT BUY! Be firm, but polite.You can always get out of a deal they are trying to pressure you into by saying "I must run it by my husband, he holds the purse strings! I'll be back!". Keep track of the used value of your Pilot with the various guides i.e. Kelly's, Black Book and NADA etc. which you can find on the computer, and remember! the low price the dealer will offer you on the Pilot. You are not going to get as much as you think for it (I hate to say) because of the gas crisis. So do your best to sell it privately,A.S.A.P. even hire a cheap car to see you mobile until you see a CR-v deal you think is the one for you in the fall. In spite of all this! if a factory discount or whatever! does not come about in the Autumn and you have to pay invoice! (no more!) be aware that the Honda has a low depreciation value which will hold you in stead for when you come to sell it in a few years time which will be some consolation. Martin
