Just want to ask the community about tactics regarding the purchase of a Honda CRV the last week of December. My lovie wife and I are pretty much decided on a '18 Honda CRV with EX trim level. That is the number 2 of 4 of the Honda trim levels and provides a slightly larger engine and a bunch of electronic driving improvements over the base model LX. I live within 30 driving minutes of 6 Honda dealers, and my strategy is to let them give me offers next week in the last few days of the '17 buying season. Lovie is pretty much sold on the style of the CRV over the competitors, I like the car and it is a top rated small SUV. Presently, I have an offer of about $2k under MSRP, pretty good for a car rated at the top of it's class in a car with MSRP of about $29.5K. Dealing with that many suppliers is interesting to say the least. Naturally, they want me to name my price, I want them to give me a deal I cannot walk away from. I've done 2 last week of the year new car purchases with outstanding results, but, the CRV is one of the best selling cars and dealers are protective. One issue is the Honda dealers tend to install a bunch of aftermarket add-ons that I pretty much find useless and overpriced. Really, who needs wheel locks when YouTube has videos showing how easy it is to beat a wheel lock.
Yeah, we can look at alternative cars, but, Lovie likes the CRV and it will be her car. Can't argue with that.
I'd appreciate any thoughts.
