Hi All, I have been reading this board and tried hard to negotiate a good deal here in the VA/DC/MD area. I finally ended up going to the lowest Out-the-door price I could get..Ourisman Honda in Bethesda. I paid a total of 26,595 out the door. Is that a decent price or did i get totally robbed? Thanks! |

People, I purchased Black on Black CR-V for $29,100 OTD here in Bay Area (Northern California). We pay sales tax of 8.25%. Generally things are relatively expensive here. Everybody says I got a nice deal. |

So I got my dealer to give me the RV and MF (thanks to this site, I looked like I knew something!) for the 2008 CRV LX 4wd. RV=13, 746 and MF=.2245 (super preferred rate). He hasn't run any # for me at this point so he mentioned that these values were based on MSRP and assuming I would be super preferred. My questions are: 1. Would the RV and MF change based on the actual sales price of the car (this seems a little shady to me)? 2. Should I negotiate the MF and RV or do I just negotiate the sales price of the car? Thanks for your help! B

Replying to: newcarconfused (May 13, 2008 6:09 pm) What I found is that the sales guys aren't very good with the finance stuff. Put it this way, I was given more misinformation that accurate information. You need to speak to the finance department, or the sales manager to accurately get that information. But if you are still clueless, you need to do more reading. You don't want to initiate those types of discussions unless you know what is going on. That spreadsheet I posted helped me a lot. You should check it out and play with the numbers to see how it works. I had several dealers tell me that I needed a "financial calculator" and that stuff wasn't important. LOL |

I have a question and want to know how common this is.. This would be my first new car purchase. We were at the dealership over the weekend and negotiated a price for a CRV EX-L with Nav.. in addition to a price for my trade. I put down a deposit for the CRV and they had already told me that they do not have th car in the lot and but were confident they would have it by today.. (they needed to make some deals with other dealerships to swap the color we wanted) I called today, and they said they are trying their best to get the car into their lot.. they had already made one deal to get a car for another dealer .. blah blah.. i guess they are having a tough time with the color.. We want a black on black EX-L with Nav I had checked other dealer inventories around the area and it looks like they are not RARe.. so whats going on? is this something anyone else here has run into? thanks in advance |

Replying to: lairdwd (May 10, 2008 8:36 am) 2008 CRV 2WD EX-L w/ NAV Whistler Silver Exterior Black Leather Interior MSRP = $27,200 Destination = $635 Total = $27,835 Invoice = $25,285 Destination = $635 Total = $25,920 What I paid for: ($530 below invoice) Price = $24,755 Destination = $635 Doc. Fees = $55 8.25% LA County Sales Tax = $2,099.21 (ouch) DMV License Fees = $256.00 CA Tire Fee = $8.75 OTD = $27,808.96 (with tax, license, etc.) No Trades Car price included wheel locks, splash guards, and clear door edge guards installed. No extended warranty or GAP insurance purchased. I got 4.74% APR with 0 down for 60 mos. thru American Honda. I think I could've done slightly better on the price but was in a bit of a time crunch to get the car by the weekend. |

I have been strongly considering the CRV and comparing it with the Ford escape Hybrid. After deciding on the CRV for the cost savings and minimal mileage differences, I went back to look at the CRV a second time. The girl who helped me spoke to the boy who had helped me on the prior visit. (and they are just kids.) When she came back to me , she said I had been here before. I confirmed this and explained I was looking again at the CRV. She led me to them and asked if I wanted to sit in one. I told her I wanted to drive it, (I was not very impressed the first time but I thought I'd give it a second try). She coyly smiled and said well if you are going to buy a car today then you can drive it,or else you can only take a short little drive but we don;t want to run up the miles. I was so irate!! does honda want to sell these cars or not? they just lost my purchase, they may have sold me a car yesterday but making a test drive contingent on buying a car is ridiculous, especially when making such a large investment!
