Replying to: santarev1 (Dec 08, 2008 8:52 pm) Congrats on the purchase. Looking at your purchase detail, I am so jealous of your tax rate of 6%. Chicago tax rate for a new car purchase is 9.25%. BTW, what color did you buy? I just broke the 1,000 mile mark and now I can finally drive longer distances and go a little faster. MY QUESTION IS: what is everyones opinion on "break in" period? How many miles and speed limit? Thanks in advance.

Replying to: amiller1 (Dec 09, 2008 3:50 am) I can only answer your question from my two months of experience (MY OPINION ONLY). I would buy the CR-V again. -For price, I DON'T think the CR-V has the best bang for the buck. There are a few other options out there that offers a bit more for the dollar, BUT, they don't offer the reliability/reputation of a Honda. So for me, that was enough to convince me to buy th CR-V. The CR-V does have the best interior. -My sister has a RAV4. Though that car is equally as nice, the RAV4 does a feel a little bigger and it sounds more truck like. I will give the RAV4 this, the steering on that car is like butter. So smooth and light (may or maynot be good, depends on your preference). Reminded me of our old Lexus. Overall, the CR-V is very car like and I think the handling is amazing compared to the RAV-4. -The power has been more than adequate for me. I hardly break 80mph, so I can't speak for the lead foot drivers, but passing, merging, and/or accerlerating has not been a problem. -ONLY KNOCK on the CR-V: Gas mileage is a little low for a car w/ an inline-4. During the break-in period (no hard accerlation and braking, driving under 60mph on highway, I averaged 19mpg. I thought that was very low. I considered these other cars: -Toyota RAV4: Bigger and more truck like -Subaru Forester: My 1st choice, but my wife hated the color combination and interior. Otherwise, I would be posting to the Forester forum. That car is VERY VERY nice. Sunroof is gianormous and their automatic tranny has a manual mode. -Saturn VUE: That car is heavy, but very good looking. Overall, I would buy the CR-V again. Practical, reliable and my wife likes the size of the car. It is just right to her. Any bigger and she feels uncomfortable driving/parking in the city. I personally prefer to drive sedans, so the CR-V is very close to that feeling. |

Replying to: rluetgenau (Dec 09, 2008 11:02 am) WHAT is "customer service" charge of $399? Is that common or standard pricing? In my experience, I have never seen that charge. But then again, I have never purchased a car from NC. As for the asking price of $19,800, it does not sound too bad. Back in June, my sister was quoted $20,500 for a LX 4WD. Only difference was the 4WD and 2WD. Your quote is for a 2009 though so that is good. What about title, registration fee... make sure you ask about those. But overall, your quoted price of $19,800 seems reasonable. Everywhere is showing Invoice price (w/ Destination) is about $20,300. So it seems like your quoted price is about $500 under invoice. Some have gotten more than $500 under invoice and some have gotten less... it really depends on your area and the supply and demand. But to me, that sounds reasonable. Especially if you are comfortable or happy w/ the dealer, then IN MY OPINION, paying a little more is ok (no more than $300). |

Replying to: ousilly1 (Dec 09, 2008 10:27 am) I think the CW is 700-1000 miles for break in. Its killing me too..... |

I emailed three dealers in the area today for 2009 Honda Crv Lx 4wd and they all gave me the same price: $21,421 includes $670 destination price. Is this a good enough price? Can I do better? Thanks for the help.
