How Much Should I Pay: 2010 Honda CR-V
Question From Mraidni: How much should I pay for 2010 CRV EX-L 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A) without Navigation?
Queen of the Road: Hi Mraidni. The price you pay all depends on the MSRP of the CR-V you’re looking at. There’s different types of deals to choose from as well: Lowest Priced, Biggest Discounted Price, etc. It depends on what you’re looking for.
If you see a one online or at a dealership, send me the MSRP and I’ll calculate a Selling Price. In the meantime, I highly recommend you start a virtual negotiation with your surrounding dealers through Braggle on www.AutoBrag.com. You basically place anonymous offers to all dealerships within a 25 to 200 mile radius within your zip code. Dealerships get to compete for your business without gaining your contact information. This method is the easiest procedure and it’s free of charge. There is no obligation to buy if a dealer accepts your bid.
According to AutoBrag’s statistics for the 2010 CR-V,
The National Average discount off MSRP: 2.38%
The National Maximum discount off MSRP: 6.85%
If you see a particular car you want, you can easily calculate the percentage off MSRP to see if you’re getting a good deal by comparing it to AutoBrag’s discount statistics.
How To Calculate The % Off MSRP: MSRP – Selling Price = X / MSRP = Y
Selling Price = The price the dealership is willing to sell the new car for. Excluding tax, registration and dealer fees
X = the dollar amount saved off MSRP
Y = the % off MSRP (Move the decimal point over two digits to the right and that’s the percentage you’re saving.)
Here’s a great car buying article written by a former car salesman you should read before buying. There’s always an advantage when preparing yourself for a car buying process.
Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Goodluck and keep us posted!
