Replying to: kg2kg (Apr 28, 2008 5:45 am) kg2kg, Bravo!   You should write a book with your suggestions as to how to buy a car in this dealer's ruthless market.   The dealers do their work every day. We enter into an arena without such experience or information and are pitted against the lions and gladiators.   I'll copy your post, but do wish you would increase the details for those of us who are involved in other worlds.... FEMA for instance!   No one on this and other manufacturers' lists has been as helpful and precise as you. If you post your email address, the rest of us can send you our details/questions of interactions with dealers which you could answer in a blog or book... just turn us on.   (Sorting out the dealers on this list will be your challenge.)   Thanks so very much for your help for us consumers.

#7057 of 9465 CRV AWD EXL w/ Nav in NY by gogetem Apr 28, 2008 (6:43 am)
I purchase AWD EX-L w/ Nav at Huntington honda for $27,200 plus tax, dmv and tire fee. No add'l destination charge. I tried to get them down to $27,000, but couldn't. I am also having the remote start installed for $450 and am considering the 7 yr, 84000mile extended warranty for $1145. Any thoughts on this price? Going to pick up car tomorrow. Also, received 5 yr loan w/ 4.49% from Chase thru the dealer. Replies to this message: jimbres (Apr 28, 2008 4:22 pm)

Replying to: buco (Apr 28, 2008 6:19 am) Like I said a couple of pages ago, I *strongly* urge people to use the "Donkey Punch" method of negotiating. If you follow the steps, you will save thousands, guaranteed. I got a $25,200 out the door price (AFTER taxes) on a CR-V EX-L 2WD using this method. Base price was around $23,100 and change. I picked up the car this past weekend. I blew the Edmunds "What Other People Are Paying" price out of the water by nearly $2,000.   The only thing I did in addition to what he said was create an Excel spreadsheet of every dealer's offer, broken down by base price, destination (if not already included), doc fees, tax, and TTL. Then when I got follow-up calls/emails from dealerships, it was easy to pull up the info on their prices compared to others. Being able to quote to-the-dollar exactly how bad a dealer's offer was when compared to my best offer was a powerful, powerful negotiating tool. This little bit of obsessive-compulsiveness on my part saved me a ton of dough.   Here's the link that explains it all:   http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ee93eaa/17260   It works. Period.

Replying to: nhlfan79 (Apr 28, 2008 9:48 am) Donkey Punch?   A 2WD EXL for 23,100?   That is over 1200.00 BELOW invoice on a CRV that has no incentive money on it.

Replying to: nhlfan79 (Apr 28, 2008 9:48 am) You got a heck of a deal, what dealership did you purchase from? Hard to believe a dealership would go that much under invoice on the CRV, might have to contact them.

Replying to: gogetem (Apr 28, 2008 6:43 am) You can save $1145 by not buying the extended warranty. Bank that money. My Honda experience goes back to '74, & I've never owned one that would've justified the purchase of an EW.   I bought my '06 CR-V from Huntington Honda. The F&I guy with whom I worked almost burst into tears when I told him that there was nothing that he could say to me that would convince me to buy an extended warranty. This is obviously a high-profit item for them.

Replying to: alamocity (Apr 28, 2008 3:15 pm) Willett Honda in Morrow, GA (south metro Atlanta). PM me for specific contact info. I wonder if they have some April incentive or something because even I was surprised how low they were willing to deal. The deal was totally legit, no strings attached. All the paperwork was just as we'd negotiated.   Actually, I had two other area dealerships offering me $25,300ish out the door, so I had several backup options in that same ballpark price range.   (I had prearranged 3.9% financing through my credit union, which the dealership couldn't match, and they gave me the same price Carmax quoted for my trade-in. I didn't tell them I had a trade-in until I arrived at the dealership. All my negotiation was on price alone.)

#7063 of 9465 Looking in Georgia - ATL by dladyb Apr 28, 2008 (7:24 pm)
Hello friends, I am looking in Atlanta Georgia and nearby for a 2007 (new) or 2008 CRVEX 2WD. What would be a good OTD price? Any good experiences with a trade in? Of course, I will take the wonderful advice of not mentioning that I have a trade until after the negotiating is done. I have requested a quote today from several dealers. Want to be ready. Thanks Replies to this message: isellhondas (Apr 29, 2008 5:24 am)
#7064 of 9465 EX-L 2wd with or without nav by boxercharlie Apr 28, 2008 (9:09 pm)
Hi Everyone, I am looking to buy either a EXL w or w/o nav. I am in Arizona. What is a good price? The best offer i have so far OTD is 26720 (base 23988) for no nav, and 28435 (base 25580). What do you guys think?

Replying to: nhlfan79 (Apr 28, 2008 4:37 pm) They must have quite an incentive to move that model, here I've been looking at the LX model but none are close to invoice let alone that much below invoice.
