Real Car Prices from
a Real Car Dealer

Question From Mary Ann:  Looking to purchase a 2008 Honda CR-V EX-L 4WD, and am leaning towards used to save some cash! Most of the CPO prices, however, are actually higher than new MSRP!! Wondering what wholesale prices are for this car, and could you maybe look at a couple of different mileages? highest was around 20,000; 15,000; 10,000; 5,000; 3,000; and 8 miles.

Thanks so much for all of your help!!!
