Just signed the following… (I’m having trouble entering the deal into the calculator, in the event anybody cares enough to help?)
But I got offers from about 8 dealerships in my area. I agreed to a deal last night at a dealership right by my house (an effective $292/month payment). But I got 3 calls this morning from other dealerships willing to beat it. I actually went to one of these other dealerships with the intention of signing, but literally while I was sitting at the salesman’s desk, the original dealer called/e-mailed/texted me this offer below. So I got up and left and took this deal.
I’m looking to lease a CRV for a friend of mine and called about 8 dealerships last night. I asked them about the lease cash and loyalty, the first guy told me I cannot stack them and could only use one. I just played along.
The best deal so far I have received is for the CR-V EX-L AWD 36/10 at $295 a month. I did not get it in writing or email but will do so at some point today.
I didn’t get an “official” offer from any of my dealerships. Some sales agents sent me prices in the body of an e-mail, some gave them to me over the phone, and some gave them to me via text message. But despite what they say, you don’t need to share anything in writing to get another dealer to beat it. They just have to believe you are serious about purchasing and are comfortable taking another offer. The dealer that gave me the offer I took (“Dealer A”) told me that he couldn’t beat Dealer B’s offer unless it was in writing. I simply told Dealer A that I understood, and that I was going to go to Dealer B to check out their deal. And then while I was driving to “Dealer B”, I got a call, text, and email from Dealer A giving me his counter offer.
It’s all about how you sell it. If dealers believe you are serious and are about to purchase, they will negotiate without offers in writing.
Im not sure how loyalty is being discussed on the CRV.
Currently for July and August, Loyalty is only available for the Accord’s. Have you guys confirmed on Edmund’s maybe?
No loyalty on the accords according to my dealers. I got $750 + $500 loyalty/conquest + $500 military on my EX AWD one week ago. $275/mo $0 DAS. (Includes VA sales tax of 4.15% on entire purchase price)
I’m hoping to find another but an EX-L for the same price. My dealer just had a DEMO Touring AWD for $30,990 but it sold before I could swoop in and grab it.
