That is only after 5 years. The more years you add the more value you get.

You can practicality but about 300,000+ miles on it if you take care of it.

Looking to buy a Honda CR-V AWD EXL. Got an offer, including all fees (i.e., destination fee, DMV fees, etc) before taxes: $29,250.

This is after some negotiating, anyone know if that's a good/great/decent/horrible price?

Please don't buy a Honda cr-v.  The motor goes after a year or two.  There must be way better value to buy other small suv's

Only one way to find out - send an email to five other dealers asking them to beat the quote. If they can't, you know it's a good price

Not always. Car manufactures ocasdionally provide amazing lease promotions through inflated residuals and allowing stacking of promotions and rebates on leases. I know people that have leased decent 20k cars for under $100 a month  inclusive of fees. I'm paying 20% of msrp for a 3/36 lease on a sports sedan, when kbb on his car is around 55-60% after 3 years.

What about Insurance though? My brother tells me he pays $90 a month in NYC on his used car because he doesn't have to put full coverage.. Compare this to $250 a month paid by leasers..

Since when is a Honda know to have bad motors? Also he is covered by warranty if something would happen so soon.

You didn’t say you specifically had a problem with your car. It sounded like you were saying they are known to have problems.

I'm already doing that, most of the dealerships are playing games, so trying to see if anyone has bought a CR-V recently, to get a picture of where I'm at in the negotiations game.

This is part of what makes car buying so confusing. The CR-V is treated like the Messiah by all the big car reviewers, yet here you are saying that it's bad...
