Phoenix, Arizona - Purchased a 2023 CR-V EX-L AWD last week at MSRP and I was able to choose the exact spec & color I was looking for from the dealer's list of inbound units. It is slated to arrive this week.

 

Houston, TX
Just checking right now to order a 2023 CRV EX-L AWD. I am being told that the price is MSRP + $5,000. Ventured through Consumer Reports and True Car pricing offers. The information they provided was not reflected in what the dealer is asking. MSRP + 15% appears to be their offer right now. Anyone else have any comments?

 

Find an honest dealer.

 

I wouldn’t buy a 2023 at this point. Too early in the manufacturing cycle for me. Just my opinion, but backed up by getting screwed twice in my car buying life by brand new vehicles very early in their lifecycle.

 

I’d consider it a pretty low risk proposition in the scheme of car buying risk. But then I bought an Alfa first year model on a brand new platform when they were re-introduced to the US market in 2017 - I live dangerously! 🤪

The dealer I bought from waived a 6400 markup they were considering rolling out, perhaps because they had quite a few inbound. I did not need to negotiate it, they waived it up front but made sure to let me know about it, lol.

I did come in talking about msrp, so they knew I was ready to buy at msrp. I won't pay over msrp for a generic vehicle.

Sounds kinda like those places that boost the price, then have a "big sale" that drops it back to what it was in the first place...

 

Visited the Honda dealer in Leesburg, FL yesterday having a tire replaced on my 18CR-V EX-L.
The salesman I deal with there said they had a 23 ex-l and we looked at it. Sticker had a $10K market adjustment bring the total to $50,150. I told him good luck and walked away.
He agreed

 

Do not pay over MSRP... Texas has a bunch of the new CRV 2023 in stock.. Picking up my new Ex-L this week (April 14).. Alloy wheels are ugly. Discount Tires has a beautiful alloy Matte Black (TSW Sebring) for $1000 .. 4 wheels. FREE install..

 

Just picked up a 2023 CRV EX AWD for $35k (Edit - - $35,8xx). Dealer was asking $5k over MSRP, but we eventually agreed to doing $2k over. While I hate to ever pay over sticker, decided on a number in my mind that I was willing to pay and they were willing to meet me at said number. In this current market and since no Honda dealer in my area is selling at MSRP, I'm relatively happy with the outcome.. and very happy so far with the vehicle.

So you’re a Beta tester for Honda and paying for the privilege? I guess if you really needed a car…

 

While I don't think it's the greatest idea to buy a new generation vehicle, I will probably be in for a 2023 Hybrid this winter/spring. Two local dealers are taking deposits and pricing at msrp plus requiring $700 - 1300 of add-ons. One dealer says they will sell at msrp though I don't entirely trust them. There are two other dealers I haven't contacted. I will only pay msrp and will wait if necessary. I'll also be getting a Honda Care extended warranty as I did with my 2017 CRV. Looks like the price of the warranty has only gone up about 10% in the past five years which seems pretty reasonable.

 

Did anyone recently get CRV from PA/NJ area? Please share your price. Also, anyone knows ETA on the hybrid model? My dealer says they expect delivery in January.

 

I'm in the greater Harrisburg area and I have a deposit on a Sport Touring with Bobby Rahal Honda. In their October order they were able to order the color I preferred but do not have a build date yet. According to the conversations and emails I have had with my sales person, I am purchasing at MSRP + $100 for wheel lock nuts. When they get a build date I will be signing paper work and can update with final pricing then. There are a few add-ons I would like, but their pricing for those installed is a little steep and I will most likely order from College Hills Honda. According to my sales person they have just received their first batch of about EX and EX-L.

 

Here's the accessory list with installed prices that I recently received from my dealer. Personally, I only plan on getting the hitch, because the install process for that looks like a complete PITA...

 

Thanks for sharing! We have an EXL AWD on order, waiting on delivery from Ohio. We got the protection package, cargo cover, door edge guards and the rear USB. They are doing the "window tint" as well, with a $1900 adder to MSRP.

 

Supposedly my Sport Touring model is scheduled to be built the first week of December and the dealer said that typically deliveries are 45-60 days out from that, so maybe late January or early February. They are anticipating their hybrid demo model arriving mid-December...

 

The EX I ordered was built 2 weeks ago and is scheduled delivery next week.

Gen6.

The underlying notion being that Honda's new generations are pretty buggy the first year.

Hope the positive is that the engine is a slightly modified version on the 1.5T, no reinvention

 

Nice, what color?

 

Still Night Pearl

 

I just signed papers for a Sport Hybrid 2WD in a free color - scheduled to arrive on or before 12/3. MSRP plus required $299 for window tint. $100 doc fee, approx $255 in non taxable fees (registration, inspection, etc) plus 6.25% state tax. Total out the door $36,473 - Dallas, TX area.

Did you mean to say Sport vs Sport Touring? I believe all US Sport Tourings are AWD. Thanks for posting your deal.

 

Hey all, just joined. Sport Touring model ordered at MSRP and should be coming in mid December. Build date was 11/18, order accepted by Honda on 10/17.

 

Also just an FYI, you can get genuine OEM Honda accessories for way cheaper than that above listed price from Honda dealerships. Just search by part number such as 08W18-3A0-100 for the bronze HPD wheels or 08W18-3A0-100A for the black version. Should be able to find them for $300 apiece ($1200 for a set), and installation is obviously a cinch if you have a jack and torque wrench, or any tire and wheel shop will do it for very cheap.

I'm planning to get the bronze wheels for a winter tire set with larger sidewalls than the 19" stock wheels.

 

OK lets stick to pricing please.

Many thanks

 

East Coast Florida -
Put a deposit on a 2023 Meteorite Gray (gray interior) EXL FWD with expected delivery in late December. Price was MSRP + $500 in required dealer addons (wheel locks, splash guards, cargo tray, & all-weather mats). I added door edge guards for $156 more, so total is $35,661. Predelivery service charge is $800 additional.

First time I ever paid MSRP - it's a different world!

 

What does the dealer do that necessitates a pre delivery charge?

 

Sells you a much in demand CRV.

 

I'm no economist, but I'm thinking if the world's economy tips into recession in the next couple of years (as many economists seem to think is likely) and interest rates keep going up (the Fed shows no signs of lifting its foot off the gas pedal), Honda is going to have to stop making cars because its dealers won't be able to sell them, or at least not at these prices. If I'm not mistaken, as recently as 2020, a new AWD CR-V EX was about $28,000. I paid $25,000 for mine new in 2012. For it to be selling now for $6,000 above the 2020 price in only 3 years (roughly $34,000) is BANANAS. That used to be about what you'd pay for a base-trim Pilot.

MSRP for a 2020 AWD EX was $29,160
MSRP for a 2023 AWD EX is $32,610

 

They must have some accessories added in or something?

 

🤷‍♂️ it's possible. Though I just took a look at another local dealer's site, and the only 2023 EX it has in stock is shown at an "MSRP" of $34,250, like one of the EXs in my post above. The dealerships are in different states and owned by different entities, so I'm not sure what's going on with the pricing. Maybe there is a Northeast premium?

 

2023 CRV EX AWD with all weather mats, cargo tray, wheel locks.

MSRP $34,250
My Price $35,000 after all weather mats, cargo tray and dealer mark up. Dealer was only selling to previous buyers

 

2023 EX AWD - paid MSRP $33,855 with no extras, add ons, nor markup. Traded a 22 CRV LX AWD with just 1800 miles so dealer made their money on that, they sold the 22 for 29,995 as a CPO

 

2023 EXL AWD Still Night Pearl - MSRP 36,905 after tax it will be a bit under $40k. No extras, add or mark ups. I ordered it in May and it should be here by Monday. Lets hope everything works out.

 

Anaheim area of CA (Corona to be exact): 2023 CR-V Hybrid AWD Sport Touring purchased 11/23 for $3,500 over MSRP, all of which consisted of these dealer add-ons: paint protection, security system, wheel locks, and window tint. Dealer fully disclaimed that the add-ons were their way of marking up the price but at least they gave me something, albeit overpriced accessories!
