Re: reasonable for '08 CR-V EX-L? [iowa_audi] by mquillen

Not a good deal. $27,959 would appear to be close to MSRP, which makes no sense right now. An '08 AWD EX-L can be had under $25K in many regions at this point in time. If that's all that is available to you (some areas don't have many dealerships) it would be better to wait for an '09.
 
If you are a DIYer the wood kit, which I just installed myself, can be had for under $200 on the net. Although it's a little tricky, it's not difficult--just requires a steady hand and 45 minutes to an hour. If not, $280 -$300 installed retail is a fair price. Also consider the internet for the rear armrest tray. It sounds like the dealer is charging dearly (or would that be dealerly ) for these accessories.
 
Lastly, unless the Honda all weather mats a a really good deal, you might consider the WeatherTech floor liners--better product. Honda's cargo tray is better, however, if easy access to the cargo loops are needed.

is this a fair price 4WD '80 crv? by sidsidcrv

Hi guys!
 
This is my first post! I've never bought a new car before so i have lots of questions, i'm a total newb and need help. I'm ready to buy a crv this weekend and just started getting in quotes from dealers. so far, the lowest i am getting is 23,091 which i am told is invoice plus destination fee. now here's where i'm confused, if i ask for less they say they cant do it because they "cant" go any lower or they lose money. where do i find the actual dealer price the dealers pay for these cars, all i can find is invoice? and the dealers say they lose money if the sell below invoice. but that's not true right? they lost money if they sell below dealer's cost.
 
the post by mquillan on page 379 of this thread says we, as buyers, should be paying close to actual dealer cost which at the time of the post on sept 1st was: EX AWD $22,403 according to the poster. i said i wanted to pay 22,800 and the reaction was like i told the dealer his mother is ugly.
 
so, what should i pay for a 2008 crv EX 4WD ? the accessories i want are spoiler, cargo tray, fog lights (though can honestly live without these for a while) and front mud guards. i'm getting quotes from 900 - 1200 for those accessories including install. i just haven't a clue how to get that 22,400 price and now that i read its what i should shoot for, i really want it!
 
edited to add: i'm in the seattle area, is this not a great area to get a good deal?

Yes, this is a good time to get a great deal on a 2008 CRV.
 
They are not, however, distressed merchandise and a dealer isn't going to lose money selling you one.

What is a realistic (and good) price range to pay for a 2008 Honda CRV EX-L this late in September? I hear the 2009 models should be coming out next month. I live in a suburb of a major city and there are several Honda dealerships in my area. WOuld it be worth it to wait a few more weeks to see if the prices will drop even more?

so would 23,091 be a good price to pay for an '08 4WD EX CRV in the Seattle area? this is including destination.

Deals won't get better.
 
What will happen is the selection will get picked over and you may have to settle for a color or model you don't want.
 
Believe it or not, prices will RISE as inventories dwindle. Happens every year. Don't outsmart yourself on this.

Thanks for the feedback!
 
I ended up purchasing a 2008 CR-V EX with roofrack options (WI)
 
OTD Price 24,500 with $2000 trade in = $22,500
 
My car wasn't even worth 2K -- so was thrilled with that.
 
I used alot of pricing off of this site to base my neg. on!
Very thankful for this site, it let me walk into this alot more educated!
 
Just thought I would leave some final notes on the pricing!

Sidsid, if the $23, 091 price includes your roughly $900 list of accessories, that would be a great price, but I doubt it does. Keep in mind, I said the target should be within a few hundred of the $22,400 price. That takes into consideration things such as doc fees, etc. If the doc fees aren't providing much profit to the dealer, then $22,700 - $22,800 would be an OK price, especially if you can get the financing incentive. Keep in mind, the AWD EX is the bread and butter model. These will be plentiful in the '09 model, and will be available for around $300 over invoice, or about $23, 800 most everywhere in the US, with a little effort. Only you can decide how much you're willing to pay for a vehicle that is one model year old.
