what did u pay for your cr-v

[slickrick]

hi i was wondering what people have paid for there 08 model cr-v auto luxury in alabaster silver. I got one quote which is $44200 on the road with front aero bumper and rear bumper, carpet mats fitted, side step type 2,chrome mirrors cover set,window tinting,tow bar,rear spoiler,5 year warranty and a full tank of fuel.Is this a really good price?what do people think?:wave:

[PNR888]

that is by far the best price I have heard. I reckon that's over $7000 worth of saving.

CRV's sales figure dropped badly in april compare to its glorious days in Jan 2008. Honda Australia must have instructed all dealers to do anything they can to boost the sales figure. Also Honda Australia re-introduced its free 5 yr extended warranty and rego, CTP to CR-V. Dealers can afford to give discount to the customers.

Interesting enough, April is the only month in 2008 so far Honda Australia did't throw in free 5 year extended warranty, Rego and CTP. Coinside with release of new Subaru Forrester, there are only 578 new CR-V sold in April Australia-wide. http://www.autonews.net.au/static/vfacts/2008apr/suv.pdf . Compare to 1575 units sold in Jan 08. It would be interesting to see May08 sales figure which will be released by VFACTS in 3 days.

That's pretty good value - we got a Jan 08 CRV (delivered in Feb 08) with a bit more (DVD player, woodgrain, no tow bar, rear spoiler, front aero bumper) and it was tipping in at almost $50K on novated lease.

[slickrick]

thanks for the replies,im glad i didnt get ripped off sick of wasting money,how much did the dvd player cost you,i was thinking of getting a in dash dvd player but i dont think i can use the buttons on the steering wheel is this true?if anyone knows could you let me know thanks

[Si1enzio]

I've just purchased a new 07 luxury model for $43530 which includes a dvd player, rear spoiler, matts, type2 roof racks, tinted windows & leather maintenance kit. Is this a good deal? even though it was built in 07? Dealer mentioned there was no difference between 07 & 08 model.

[JAC]

paid 41k for 08 alabaster lux auto. no bodykits. just tint windows, mats and chrome tips. 5 years warranty & roadside
08 seems to have darker metalic interior finishing (like door handles and center console line) than 07 model if you choose black interior.
A bit dissapointing with the car finishing not neat all around at all (body & interior). very dissapointing fact for a Honda product that normally has excellent built quality :(

[mumu]

Anyone has bought new auto CR-V Sport in Sydney recently? Please give me an idea of drive away price and accessories cost if any. Can't decide if I should get Civic sport or CR-V sport, so doing price hunting on both now...... thanks.

[Suntzu]

I have a June 07 Lux auto. I got Mats, tint,towbar,cargo tray, black front bull nose bonnet protector! for about $4300 drive away. And then due company car also saved about $4000 in gst which is sweet.

Mine black so looks good with the stock blackbumpers. Been a good car in the last year.

[mortdale]

I just bought the Alabaster Silver 08 CRV LUX Auto with tint and mats for $40.5 driveaway, pick it up this Sunday...........We looked at the Sport and with the deal we got we would have been crazy not to get the LUX.................any issues with 08 CRV's?

[Codes]

I paid $39,344 for a special edition CR-V (standard CR-V + fog lamps, roof racks, rear parking sensors, alloy wheels). Came with floor mats, front aero bumper, tints and paint protection. Still think I could of got a better price though :(

I think you might have paid a bit too much there Codes. This is my deal about 6 weeks ago:

new silver, base model, auto CRV, 2008 built, carpet mats, boot liner/protector, Honda rear seat covers, rear bumper boot lip protector, 5 years warranty, drive away for $31k.

Funny thing is, i reckon if i walked back into the same dealer today I could do a little bit better than 31k...

[Codes]

They called me back in yesterday and they couldn't find a car with the interior colour I wanted (black with black interior). So I ended up getting the luxury model for $44k with on road. Got them to throw in front and rear aero bumpers, side steps, tints, carpet mats, rear spoiler, chrome mirror cover and chrome muffler tip.

[testing123]

Can I have the dealership's address? I would like buy one CRV special edition as well.

Which dealer did you get the car from?

[62rocket]

Mine was bought through Austral Honda, Newstead, Brisbane. They have given me the best purchase price by far on my last two Hondas (jazz and the new CRV).

i dont!

[62rocket]

tell us then UNLS1, with the motor industry in the way it is, why couldn't that deal be repeated if not bettered on a 2008 built CRV in December 2008?

[Spoon-Accord]

one we bought is july built, 43k on road lux alabasto silver auto

[rickbalang]

2009 built paid 44k auto.
i checked around about the Special Edition only a few left in Australia.

There's this new CRV info-media system with GPS and DVD compatibilities on ebay very nice looking and gives you a free reverse camera.

[GoTheCats]

I pad $35,500 for my CRV speacial edition including tinting

[traumatized]

can't seem to find any special editions in NSW anymore :(

[GoTheCats]

i don't think so there left any in the country :). I struggled a lot to get one. You can ask dealer to give u the base model and add those four extras which makes sp edition if u know what i mean. I think u can haggle for that
All the best.

[traumatized]

yeah, i may have to try to do that. but even trying to find a dealer with a base model is proving difficult, so if i do find one haggling to have the extras put on for a minimal cost may be hard.

[Pitek]

Nov 2008. I pad $35,800 for my CRV Sport 2.4 Auto.
Empty, not even carpet mats yet with 5 years warranty and road assist.
As usual AFTER sale I assume I could get a little bit better deal :)

Added mats, tinting and rear parking sensors myself, cost me about $400...

[Vlad D Impeller]

I paid 25K US dollars for my CRV in 2007, leather seating and fully loaded except for the GPS, i wished i had paid the xtra 2.5K for the Nav package.
It is my belief that Honda do have the best factory installed navigation system.

I paid $39500 for a Sparkle Grey CRV Sport with Front and Rear aero bumpers, chrome mirrors, type 2 side steps, spoiler, chrome tip and mats. 3 year warranty.

[sunnyl]

09 grey CRV standard (manual!), weather shields, headlight and bonnet protector, mats, luggage tray and luggage cover, $37,500.

Compared to the drive away prices of the special edition at the start of the year its not that good, but it was impossible to even find a car to test drive.

sorry mate, but i reckon the Honda dealer you bought that off is still laughing. 37500 is way too dear in my opinion.

[sunnyl]

I did realise it wasn't cheap :( I did shop around at a couple of dealers before settling at that one. Of the 6 I tried only 2 had manuals in stock, both were around the $37k mark for the driveaway price. What do you suggest is a decent price?

It wasn't exactly an impulse buy. I mentioned in another thread I have an aging gen 1 CRV - I had tossed up at the start of the year get rid of it for a new CRV, but it was all sold out back then so I spent the money for a new clutch, tyres and major service to get it back up to scratch. Then just recently our other car had to go, so we jumped into getting a new CRV pretty much within the week.

haha! It feels like I paid a premium to get a manual, rather than the other way around!

this was a better deal. It's an auto back in october 2008. It was a April 2008 built car.

[See Har-vee]

We just picked up our silver manual CR-V with bonus pack (alloys, front and rear sensors and foggies).

Paid 34,000 on the road, including a cargo blind. Only one dealer came to the party with that price. No-one else would touch it. The bonus packs were limited to about 3 per dealer apparently.

[sunnyl]

hmmm whats this bonus pack? I can't find any sign of it on the Honda website

[kongfu]

2009 model will be more than 2008 built CRV mate. common sense:wave:

[UNLS1]

hmmm whats this bonus pack? I can't find any sign of it on the Honda website

its just the standard with

sports alloys
fog lights
rev sensors
front sensors.


there are no crv sports left until jan 2010 update

[sunnyl]

Thats nice!

I'm slowly adding accessories now and its just costing more and more (I've added luxury alloys, fogs, rear spoiler, door sills and exhaust garnish). Its just making the car more and more expensive than it already is :(

We probably rushed into the sale and the sales person knew he had it in the bag.

[See Har-vee]

Hey Sunnyl, what are they quoting for the rear spoiler? They're nice!! Does anyone here do group buys?

[62rocket]

2009 model will be more than 2008 built CRV mate. common sense:wave:

mine was a 2008 bought in 2008. i have common sense thanks... I stand by my comment, he paid too much for the CRV.

[sunnyl]

Hey Sunnyl, what are they quoting for the rear spoiler? They're nice!! Does anyone here do group buys?
The dealer did the spoiler (part+labour) for $505...

Not saying yours is a bad deal, but the circumstances in 2008 and 2009 were probably a bit different. The first time I went shopping for the CRV there was no stock in any of the Sydney dealers, let alone finding a manual one. The RRP for the manual is $37.5k. I got drive away for $37.5k with a bunch of accessories, not a fantastic deal, but I didn't overpay either. :)

[drunkntigr]

seems all lux and sport are out of stock until 2010 when the new face lifted model comes out

plenty of bases

anybody care to share their latest prices on auto? any version
