Test drove a 2009 EX-L AWD today that we were ready to buy except it had a noticeable vibration at idle in the steering wheel and some in the seat – mostly in the steering wheel. This occurs after the engine is warmed up and the idle drops to around 750-800 RPM while stopped at a light with foot on the brake in ‘D’. Tried it several times and had the same result. When I put my left foot on the brake and lightly increased the idle to about 900 or 1000 RPM with my right foot it smoothed out. The salesman said ‘they all do that” and the ‘senior’ service tech said it is a common complaint and it will go away after 1000-2000 miles. Sure. He also indicated that the idle speed is controlled by the computer and can not be adjusted. I searched this forum and see several complaints by 2007 owners but wondered if this car was a fluke. We drove another one (not the model or color that we want) and it did not vibrate but the idle was higher at around 900 rpm. I walked away from the deal for now and they will not have another one like it for several weeks. I am not used to a car with vibration at idle. Are others experiencing vibration at idle? If so did it improve with miles?

Replying to: r2d2_3cpo (Jan 16, 2009 7:00 pm) I then went through the exact same procedure with another 2009 CR-V and experienced the exact same vibration. I concluded that the first vehicle I tried is not unique in this situation and that our V6 is smoother at idle because it is a V6 and the inline 4 in the CR-V is just not as smooth due to the engine design. The idle vibration is not so bad that I can not live with it and maybe (hopefully) it will get better. If not it’s not a deal breaker because I really like everything else about the CR-V. I pick it up next week. 2009 AWD EX-L Silver w/Gray Interior |

I just got a quote of $25,600 out the door for a 2009 CR-V EX-L without navi. Base?= $23,800 Tax and License = $836 (VA tax and reg) Destination= $670 Processing Fee= $299 And it appears that there are currently no low rate financing deals available.... Is this a good deal? a bad deal? or a mediocre deal? Thanks.

Hello all: I'm interested in finding out what a good deal would be for a 2009 Honda CR-V LX 2WD no additional options or accessories. I live in the Maryland area. I noticed some weeks ago, someone posted an OTD of $20,400 for the same vehicle. Also, if the dealer doesn't have the color I'm interested in in stock, can I put in an order for that color. (tango red). Do they charge extra for that? In advance, thanks for all your assistance.

Got a offer from a dealer in North Carolina willing to sell 2009 CRV 2WD EX-L, no other options added for 23,000, not including tax ($300), ($89) tag, and ($399) processing fee. Any thoughts????

Replying to: meeper (Jan 18, 2009 4:55 am) Are there lots of dealerships in the NoVa area? If so, you should be able to get a much better price. And check around to see if all dealers in VA and MD tack on processing fee. In CA, it can't be more than $55. But in Nevada, all the dealers add a "doc fee" of $399 that's just bogus. Make sure to see if other dealers include the same fee. I am jealous of your low tax rate. Taxes in CA on the same car are nearly $2000. And we're still bankrupt...
