Buying a 2011 Honda CR-V, and saving $2000 off of MSRP.
We have been dealing with Parkway Honda for 15 years. We have leased Honda CRV's ever since they were introduced. We initially discussed another leasing option on a new CRV, but we drive far more kilometres a year than the warranty allows and reach the threshold of 96,000 way before the 4 year warranty expires. We then started discussing a cash purchase and showed the car cost wholesale price extimate and offered 3% over the wholesale cost which they accepted. Then we got a further $2500 off because of a manufacturer''s discount available until the end of August. So we saved $1350 off the list price and another $2500 for a total of $3850. Because we drive so much we applied the savings to an 8 year or 200,000 kilometre warranty and a remote starter plus a 4 year iron clad type of insurance covering minor scratches, windshield damage (no deductible), tire damages, key loss and road side assistance. We are going to keep this car for at least five years and no longer need to be concerned about kilometer/warranty threseholds, etc.
