Look at it this way. At that rate you are paying $0.50/mile to drive the car ($10k/20k miles).Got an offer from the dealer to upgrade my 2017 CRV EXL AWD to 2019 version. It has been roughly 2 years 7 months since I bought my 2017 CRV and now the offer is to go for an upgrade with a $22K reimbursement for trading the car. Car has clocked 20K miles.
Is it worth to upgrade foregoing $10K? Please advise CRV Honda owners
It is approximately $22,300I would visit KBB.com and use their tool to estimate the value of your 2017.
True. Planning to do just that. I do not see any major difference between the 2017 and 2019 versions as such. It could also be a burden with the 2019 version since I see Honda changing the generation of the CRV every 3-4 years. So prefer to upgrade to a new generation one rather than the existing generation if at all the 2020/2021 version is really that differentNot much has really changed, has it? If your 2017 is treating you well, why wouldn't you just keep it?
Are we saying that even on the 2019 CR-Vs, there is still a chance of the OD issue? I thought that by now Honda would have solved this issue once and for all, on all new 2019s? Heck, I even read before that 2018s should have had the issue fixed (at least the later 2018s)...If you don't have issue with your current like OD or no heat I won't trade it because you might get those issues on the new one
Many have some OD as Honda and other manufacturers say some is normal on these small turbos. The first 5th gens are just now reaching 30k on average and we aren't seeing failures at any sort of scale, and Honda is fixing those when they do fail. Everyone that says it is a certain future problem is speculating.Are we saying that even on the 2019 CR-Vs, there is still a chance of the OD issue?

This practice is simply a sales tool dealers use. I've been contacted by my Honda dealer a few times about trading in my 2012 Pilot since I bought it new. I don't think about that until at least the car is 10 years old. It has been very reliable and I like it better than the newer Pilots anyway. Plus, it only has about 48,000 miles on it.Dealers have been doing this for years, at least where I live, mostly from Toyota dealers (when my father in law owned one and had it registered at our address.
Only you can decide if such an offer is right for you.
Personally.. I put them immediately into the round file as it is not my responsibility to help them with churning sales of both a new vehicle as well as the old vehicle. They will try to profit off of the spread and the sale of two vehicles... and honestly.. I am surprised Honda allows this from their dealers.
Try getting an appraisal from CarMax first. When I bought my 2017 CRV AWD Touring, they offered me twice what the dealers offered for my Toyota Corolla trade in. I was out the door in 30 minutes with check in hand.Got an offer from the dealer to upgrade my 2017 CRV EXL AWD to 2019 version.
