Sidsid, you got an OK deal, especially for the hard to find color that you wanted. It is almost always worth paying a little more to get exactly what you want. Some pay a little more, some a little less. The information here is just that, information. You use it to get as close to a fair price as you can reasonably get. Then you have to pull the trigger and be happy with your choice-- I'm sure you will be.

Acurafan, great price, especially if you got the preferred financing on top of that. That's about $200 over the dealer cost, inclusive of holdback.

Bpraxis, the internet manager seems to be quoting his invoice as dealer cost, which might be the case if he's been sitting on his vehicles very long, as his floorplan financing eats into dealer holdback. Sorry about his luck if that's the case.
 
Many "internet managers" are given prices they can quote, and they are seldom the lowest price available. Sometimes you have to go around them. One thing that does have to be taken into consideration at this time is whether or not you'll be taking advantage of the preferred financing. The 1.9% for 24-36 mos, or the 3.9% for 36-60 mos. can be a savings of over $1000 compared to market rates. I'd still be hard pressed to pay much more than $22,800 for the model year old vehicle, unless it's for a color that is in short supply.

As a dealer in Minnesota I get this question several times a year. American Honda will not allow border states to sell new Honda vehicles to Canadian customers. I highly doubt a dealer would risk losing their dealer agreement with Honda to sell one additional car. Besides, why would you want a brand-new car that does not come with a warranty, as the warranty for cars built for American consumption is VOID in Canada.
 
Here in Minneapolis we have found a way around this by buying current year factory demos from Honda. These cars have about 6,000 miles on them and are considered used cars. Honda has no specific rule in place about selling used Honda's to Canadians. Since you'll be importing the car to Canada, the warranty will be VOIDED, but most dealers will have an after-market warranty available that is valid in Canada.

On the other hand, you can buy a USED 2007 with 25000 miles on it for $23995.00 so that may be a better option. Why buy a new car for less then you can buy a used one?

"Why buy a new car for less then you can buy a used one? "
 
Because you can! The post you commented on is not about used CR-V pricing. Your logic fails me, but from your dealer perspective I'm sure you would prefer to ignore the great deals that are available. I purchased a brand new CR-V EX-L with 12 miles on it for just $846 more than your used, 25,000 mile, CR-V example. Others here have done nearly equally as well or better. Why indeed, lol?

Thankyou so much for your great insight and well articulated advice.
 
   I am planning on paying cash so the 1.9 percent is attractive but may not be relevent. How much in depreciation do we lose with one model year?
 
  I have been watching the inventory at both dealerships for two months and they simply are not selling CRVs.
 
  It seems that the recession locally may be more serious than people know.
 
  So I will wait for my price or purchase an 09 for $300.00 to $500.00 more.
 
  With appreciation and auto buying cheer,
 
  Brandon

mquillen, yes! we definitely took advantage of the financing- 3.9% for 60 months. I owe it all to this board, which gave the information to negotiate well. So thank you again to everyone who posts.
