Wifey wants us to upgrade to a Honda CRV so want to know the ozbargain way of getting by.
Does anyone know the cost price of a CRV vti-s all wheel drive and what a good deal looks like for a 2017-2019 model?
Want to know what a good number to aim for is and then figure out ways to get there.
Not sure if this helps, but read through and you might get a figure you could aim.
I took one out for a test drive a couple of months ago went to the negotiation table, best I could achieve was a few HUNDRED off RRP, so bought nothing out of shear protest, tried 2 dealers, both offered basically nothing. I'm still looking so please let me know how you go!
This is insane thinking. So if the price had been $3k higher, but they then gave you a "discount" of $3500, you would have bought it? Buy a car at the price it is worth, not when you can get some arbitrary discount percentage.
Whatever it is, if it makes the buyer think they've got a good deal, then why not?
Whether or not they actually got a good deal or not is a different story.
@brendanm - Errr… if the RRP driveaway is published @ $34,990 on the Honda website (50 year edition) and the dealer offers it to you for $34,790 cash no trade would you immediately whip out your card and pay a deposit or think its time to look around, wait, talk to other dealers?
You tried other dealers, they all offered you the same thing, that's obviously the price for the car. Buy something else if you don't like the price
@brendanm: Or buy nothing and wait for a better price/deal (you'll note others on whirlpool are reporting the VTI-S around $32k so why would I pay $2-4k more if i'm in no rush to replace our 3rd car. Not sure why you have a problem with my choices.
@jason101: Most people on whirlpool are on $250k+. How do I know why you'd pay more, regional area? No competition as all the dealers are pricing it the same, as they are having no trouble selling it at the price they offered you?
Generally it works on supply and demand. If you wanted to buy a Holden astra, you would offer 50% of rrp as there is no demand. You want to buy a car people actually want, you don't get a big discount. You should go get an ldv or a haval, you'd be able to haggle a heap off the sticker price and get a "bargain".
a couple of months ago
Must be in a hurry to buy 😂
Hybrid AWD coming out next year
Not in Australia. Possibly 2022.
Get the diesel one.
