I understand that people may put emotions in their dealings with sales people, whether, these are car salesman, appliance, insurance, or door-to-door knife sales people.
 
The reality of any sale is that MARKET dictates the price. Just like when there is a high demand for a low availability item, the price goes up. It is not gouging or rape, or whatever you call it. No one is holding a gun to the buyer's head, or holding their children at knifepoint until the sale is complete.
 
People part with their money at their own will. Whether you are buying a car, TV, or appliances, you don't just stumble into a store and get whatever the sales person if giving you.
 
You do your research, decide on the features you want, and don't want, decide on the colors, and brands, and most importantly, you decide on the price you are comfortable paying. Have back up plan, as well.
 
If the current market price is outside of your zone, you sit and wait until the price reaches your pricepoint, or move on to the next item on your list.
 
I am sure Sachn is not volunteering 100% of his time for no pay. Somehow he has to make money to pay the bills. So does Fasttex.... Quite frankly, if it were not for a paycheck, I wouldn't have gone to college and gotten a job and then gone back to college to get an advanced degree.
 
So, to expect someone to work for free is quite unrealistic. But, most importantly, you have to remember that MARKET is what sets the prices. If you are not comfortable paying price X for widge Y, but someone else is, then the price will remain. However, if no one is willing to pay price X, then seller will reduce the price until there are buyers interested, until the market is saturated at that price. Seller will have to lower the price, or offer other benefits such as new features to maintain the interest in buyers.
 
But, no where in the scenario was a weapon or force was used to make someone purchase something at the price they were not willing to buy it at.

It seems you guys out in AZ are being asked for full MSRP? I am in Florida and just today I had dealers quote me $200 below invoice on my choice of an LX or EX. ( there is a $599 "dealer fee") they tack on to the sale ticket so they still make money. to the guy who paid $22 and change for an 08', I would take it back and get a 2010 for that price.

I live in Houston, TX looking to purchase a factory equipped 2010 LX with no additional options/accessories. So far my best quote is from Gillman Honda: $20260 base price , 21850 out the door. Good enough?
 
Thanks!

My wife just got an 08 FWD-CR-V EX/certified with 44,869 miles. It was a fleet car. $20,885 +Tax and L and R.Silver with grey/black. She wanted it and I couldn't find anything wrong with it but for a bit high mileage but since she only drives 8-9K a year that wasn't a problem.

2010 EX-L 4WD w/nav by crvinmidwest

Just bought first CRV in Midwest here. Dealers seemed unwilling to move too much on the MSRP, but in negotiating via e-mail/phone between multiple dealers, got the color I wanted for $29,000 - about $1,500 under MSRP. This was below the target price and "great price" listed at Edmunds, CarsDirect, US News, and every other site.
 
Good deal? Just curious. I'm happy with the purchase. Thanks.

This is my first post on the site and would really appreciate any input you folks can provide. I am looking to buy (finance) a 2010 Honda CRV. The best quote I have on the 2010 CRV LX 2wd is 22K (everything included ie price out the door).
 
I would be grateful for inputs on whether this sounds like a reasonable price or if I should try and better the quote I just got.
 
Thanks all.

Just FYI, my wife just bought one 2010 CRV EX-L 4WD w/t NAV in central CT for 25500+329 Dealer fee+Tax. I personally assume price in Mass should be a little bit lower than here though.
Keep on searching and negotiate.
