Need a new car as our car got into an accident and is a write off. We are looking at Honda CR-V VTI as our family car.

I’ve always driven a Toyota and husband has a Mitsubishi. Thought to try Honda this time round.
When buying a new car, what are some questions I should ask?
Is there pro/con I should know about Honda?
They made it hard for us to walk away to have lunch without putting a deposit.
He’s offering it for $33,490 Auto with sports grille, sides steps, mats and boot tray.

Do you think this price and extras are worth that price tag?
It includes 5 year warranty and 5 capped servicing.

Thank you.

So jumping on Carsales and putting in Vic, 2017 and the model your after it looks like a fairly decent offer.

Take a look

Looks okay based on Carsales ads assuming it is the drive away price.

  Yes it’s drive away price. Now wondering if I can squeeze in extras or get the price dropped

I would suggest you research various online reviews, those aren't the best options for that class.

Stop and check what the frequency and cost of servicing is for each of your options. I found Honda servicing quite expensive and was “required” every 6 months. Check if they have capped servicing pricing and see how much you’ll pay over the first five years.

i bought a 2017 demo in adelaide for $29,000 with 500ks 3months rego.

  Did you have any accessories on the car? Was it drive away at that price?
  - ully on 20/12/2017 - 21:24
    
    Driveaway with mats & 3 months ergo
    With the Honda’s most / if not all the dealers are being incredibly stingy on discounts as they are moving like hot cakes

A true ozbargainer would never buy a car new. Drops 40% in value as soon as you drive it off the lot.

  As much as I am a miser, I can't do second hand.

    Oh well, at least the insurance is paying for it so all good :)
- Peter Enis on 20/12/2017 - 21:45
  
  Please show us these bargain cars 40% off that have just left the lot.

  40%? Damn that's some serious stamp duty!
  
  Or… And here's a thought… You're talking out your ass again 😂

Pity they don't offer 7 year warranty on new CRV's:

'Warranty Offer not available on new CR-V, Civic Type-R or NSX models'

Honda is quite reliable in my opinion.
If you had a test drive and is satisfied with the car you could put down the deposit as well.
