no dealer add-ons except $299 "Pulse" brake light -- no charge
MSRP $39980 inc destination
Sell Price $38357
Sales tax $2355
Local tax $ 20
Doc Fee $ 200
Trans fee $ 100
Reg & Lic $ 667

OTD $41700

Nice break down of pricing!

You should probably have them remove that add-on, though.

Question: I have noticed cars that have a high-mounted center brake light that flashes about 4 times before becoming steadily lit (like other brake lights). I’m seeing car dealers are installing them on some cars. Are these flashing lights legal?

Answer: These types of devices and alterations to the brake lights are not legal according to state and federal law. An auto dealer would also be in violation if they installed that type of light on a motor vehicle.

I would agree that a flashing red light on a non-official vehicle would not be allowed.

Honda guy here (3+ decades owner/mechanic). I bought my wife her new (and our first) CR-V as a retirement gift the day after Christmas 2023 -- and at our nearby dealer, MUCH to my surprise!

2024 Honda CR-V AWD Sport Touring Hybrid (STH) in Lunar Silver Metallic (LSM)
MSRP: $39,850
Destination and Handling: $1,325
Total Vehicle Price: $41,175
Price: $38,500
7.25% County Tax (central Ohio): $2,791.25
Doc Fee: $0 (negotiated from $395 on paper)
Fees for Registration, License, Transfer, etc.: $220
Financing: 3.9% (48 Months)

Back story: leaving the local dealer's Parts window (picked up a $7 gasket), I see this CR-V at a glance - it wasn't listed in inventory on their website, so I asked and was told it was a recent dealer trade. In August, anticipating my wife's retirement and planning for her retirement gift, I had put down a $500 deposit for a bare AWD Sport-L Hybrid (SLH) in LSM at a different dealer. The price negotiated/signed on paper was "$2,000 off MSRP" ($37,175 including D&H and before tax, any fees, etc.) but due to to issues with timing and circumstances, they were delivered and PDI'd and sold. Between August and December, this happened three or four times, can't remember. What's mind blowing is, WHILE I'M NEGOTIATING THE STH, that other dealer salesman texts and offers me their SLH for $38,800 (he confirmed add-ons). Thanks - but NO THANKS!

She adores her STH in SLM and acts a little sheepish, feeling guilty that she's sort of abandoned her beloved 2007 Accord EX-L V6 in Alabaster Silver bought 14 years to the day before this CR-V (she now calls the Accord "your work car", haha).

Thank you!

2024 CRV Sport-L in Platinum white in Tucson, AZ. The only dealer option was ceramic window tint (that they did for free). It took 7 weeks from initial reservation of an already in process dealer order to my delivery. Sticker was $38,855.00 and I paid $36,112.00 plus a $599 "doc fee" before taxes and registration. I got what Carvana would have given me for my Tiguan on trade which saved me $1,435.00 in taxes. The dealer process was good and that extended into the finance office where he understood I was not going to purchase any additional stuff. I was happy with the purchase.

I just took delivery of a '24 EXL, White/Gray, 2WD with a factory sticker of $36,440. Dealer added Dealer Installed Options totaling $3,870 bringing the dealer sticker up to $40,310. Dealer then discounted the car to $35,337. Then the following charges were added:

$994 Pre-delivery Service Charge
$249 3rd Party Tag Fee (registering out of state)
$223 Registration fees

Grand total out the door before sales taxes was $36,803.

The Dealer Installed Options ($875) that had real value were:

All Season Mats (Honda OEM)
Wheel Locks
Splash Guards

The $2,995 package was all fluff (protection packages for paint, interior, antimicrobal, rain repellant, headlight UV, door edge guards, nitrogen, ID theft protection) and a half dozen or more other BS items.

I contacted 8 dealers by email and two came in at approximately this price. I went with the closer of the two. The process reminded me why I hate buying cars!

So far I love the car and all the technology built into it!

Got a fantastic deal on a 2024 CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring AWD (Canyon River Blue) for $39,175 OTD!

$36,590 Sales Price
$1,555 tax
$900 processing
$130 dmv/other fees
$39,175 OTD ($4,585 below $41,175 MSRP in Virginia)

Also got 2.9% Honda financing for 36 months. Plus lifetime oil changes and state inspections! It was the last day of the month in January so they came down considerably that day to meet a quota when I told them I already had a deposit for another CRV being built and delivered in 2-3 weeks.

Where are you located? That is indeed a great deal (other than the $900 "processing" fee)

I’m ready to buy a CRV hybrid but need to check to see I’m not getting ripped off. This is what the dealership is offering, both canyon blue color


CRV hybrid sport FWD for $33990 ( it was $35400 msrp with destination fee) that’s a $1445 off

CRV hybrid sport AWD for $35550 (it was $36900 with destination fee) this is $1350 off.

I hope there’s no add ons or extra options I don’t need.

I’m trying to leverage the above price with my local dealership nearby to see if they can match or beat it.

How much more should I try to bargain it down? $500, $1000 more?

I’m using Edmunds and their suggested price is:
Hybrid sport fwd $33,718
Hybrid sport awd $35,144

Reasonable deal if there are no mandatory dealer installed options like paint protection, locking lug nots, nitro fill on tires, etc. Never going to see huge discounts on the cars, so you’re going to be arguing over penny’s from where you are now.

Turn down all offers from finance department for extended warranty (buy it later from on line dealer at discount), service plans, theft protection, etc.

Good luck!

Best otd quote I have seen for a 2024 crv ST Silver in VA was 40.9k
So your figures are pretty reasonable
Having said that, it's a good idea to shop around
Cheers

 

[jmartinid]

I paid a $399 “Service Fee”. I am assuming that is the same as a “Doc Fee”. Is that just a way for the dealer to pad the selling price or is it to pay for the paperwork? Is $399 considered average?

Exactly the fee I paid - 24 Sport Hybrid L. A couple hundred bucks would probably be fair but I was OK with it. My price was MSRP plus the doc fee.
first post woohoo

This is great deal. Can you let me know which dealer.

Purchase date: 2/12/2024
Kenosha, WI
2024 Hybrid Sport Touring
Starting Price: $41,550

Worthless Dealer-installed add-ons - $1k:

• Secure Etch Theft Protection: $300
• Diamond Fusion exterior care: $200
• Auto Butler interior care: $500

I said I wouldn't pay for those, but there was a discount off of MSRP for choosing from dealer stock: -$2800

Service Fee: $398 (I guess this is the doc fee)

They threw in free all weather floor mats.

OTD Price: $40,148

This dealership includes a 100k mile powertrain warranty. The guys here told me it is only in effect if I do all my maintenance through them, but upon reading the fine print, I noticed it can be done by any professional mechanic.

I made a trade-in and down payment and a non-taxable item purchased (which I think was the new plates) but since those will vary by state and individual situation, I won't mention them here.

Just an FYI. That is worthless.

 

[-Smaug-]

Yep, I figured the same. That kicks in after Honda's 5 year/60k mile warranty, by which time any problems will be sorted out.
I'm sure the 100k warranty excludes the traction battery for the hybrid system too, but if it doesn't, maybe it IS worth something?

Nice deal. I have yet to find any dealer giving me more than 2K MSRP discount in NJ.
