Follow Up Comment: I am really interested in a 2008 AWD LX (or EX depending on price). I would also consider a certified preowned 2007.
Thanks

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Cecele.

For a 2007 Honda CR-V EX AWD with 19,590 miles (Average), prices range from $20,500 (being in above average condition) to $19,500 (being in average condition) and $18,500 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $20,700 to $23,300.

For a 2008 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A),

The Biggest Percentage Off MSRP Price: $21,756.00

ePrice: $21,756.00

ePrice: $23,848.00
Savings: $2,566.00
% OFF MSRP: 9.71 %

How do you apply these prices?

Print out all the blue links and take them to your local Honda dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Sales/Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.

If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up a Honda dealership’s website and checking their inventory. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. This car in New York should cost the same in Texas. The taxes vary by state.

THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR GREAT HELP!

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Mary Ann. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you.

For a 2007 Honda CR-V EX-L 4WD with 31,298 miles, prices range from $22,500 (being in above average condition) to $21,600 (being in average condition) and $20,600 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $23,000 to $25,600.

If the CR-V has the optional Navigation, you should be able to get it for $24K. If the CR-V doesn’t have the Navigation system you should negotiate for $20-$21K. It has a lot of miles for a 2007, the warranty will expire in less then 5K miles.

Make sure to check carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes! Don’t forget to tell your friends and family about our free personal service.

Question From Rob: I was searching for Honda Accords and I found a 2007 Honda Accord EX (4 cyl) with leather interior and navigation system. The car has approx 18,000 miles and the price is $22,500.00. What should this particular vehicle cost and is the cost too high?

Thanks!
Rob

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Rob. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you. Is the 2007 Honda Accord a Sedan or Coupe?

For a 2007 Honda Accord EX Coupe 4 Cylinder with 18,000 miles, prices range from $18,600 (being in above average condition) to $17,100 (being in average condition) and $15,600 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $17,500 to $21,200.

For a 2007 Honda Accord EX Sedan 4 Cylinder with 18,000 miles, prices range from $19,000 (being in above average condition) to $17,800 (being in average condition) and $16,600 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $18,600 to $21,700.

Are you buying from a Dealer or Private Party? What is the condition of the car? If the car is in average condition you should negotiate it down to $20,000.00. Make sure to check CarFax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes! Don’t forget to tell your friends and family about our free personal service.

Question From Barb:  Hi!  It’s Barbi again… I found a 2007 Honda Accord 4 sedan EX with 18,336 miles (leather interior). It’s Auto and navigation system. 4cyl. They are asking 22,500.00 which I’m sure is high but I’m not sure what I should expect to pay for this vehicle.

Barbi~

Queen of the Road: Sure thing! The AutoBrag team has a sincere passion for helping people save money and time. So glad we can help prevent you from getting a poor deal.

For a 2007 Honda Accord 4C Sedan EX Auto with 18,300 miles, prices range from $19,000 (being in above average condition) to $17,800 (being in average condition) and $16,600 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $18,300 to $21,000. These prices do not include the navigation, so it should range a bit higher.

$22,500 is ridiculous. One reader today got a used car dealer to take it from $18k to $14k in one sentence, “I’ll buy it today if you sell it to me for $14k.” So aim for the lowest possible. It never hurts to try.

Question From Mary Ann: Hi again! I’m planning on buying out my dad’s lease on his 2007 Honda Pilot EX-L (no nav or DVD) in December. By then, it will have 50,000 miles on it (YES). It currently has around 34,000 miles on it. Just wondering what the pricing on it would be now (or if you can also foresee into the future) to see if the buyout price is good.

Also, I’ve never dealt with a lease before, is there room for negotiation in a lease buyout? I’m thinking with car sales down nationally (especially SUVs) the leasing company will be happy to have me purchase this high-mileage SUV and get it off their hands.

Oh, also, my dad will be leasing again come December. Do you have any information on residual values and money factors on the 2008 Highlander Hybrid Limiteds? Don’t need pricing, because you guys have already done that for me!

Thanks again!

Queen of the Road: Welcome back, Mary Ann! Wow, 50,000 miles?! I’ll give you the wholesale prices for both 34,000 miles and 50,000 miles. In regards to the leasing questions, I’ll let another car expert, CarFinanceGuru, answer your questions.

Is his Pilot a 2WD or 4WD?

Follow Up Comment: It’s 4WD, sorry, I though I included everything, but I forgot about the 2WD vs 4WD!

I apologize for posting the same thing twice, but I thought that maybe I had forgotten to submit the first time and that’s why you guys hadn’t answered! Just answer when you can, no hurry!

Thanks so much for all of your help!
