which would resell better?

 

Believe me I'm looking.

 

The new CR-Vs are fire traps, I prefer the 1st gen CR-Vs over the ugly new ones.

 

1st gen CR-V's were too smallish and underpowered.

 

I don't like any of them.

 

Other suggestion?

 

How about a Ford Festiva?

 

acura mdx

 

geo metro

 

 

that will only fit

 

what the heck? domn has two thread about utes and no one gets on his case!

 

Well then, he/she better learn to drive soon.

has made its way to other areas of ATSX.

 

2 is less than 10

 

at least they all are on different topics! and all of them were good except the troutslap one that got pw for no reason

now, who would have thought that thread would have been pwed?

dzuy, who's fav thread is the edit quote thread.

 

I just put an offer in on a 2003 CR-V LX. They were asking 25K + taxes but agreed to sell for 27K on the road (22950 + Taxes). I went back at 25K on the road (21250 + taxes). I got a few appraseils on the CR-V LX and they were a low of 18 to a high of 20,200 so I'm guessing they paid at most 20K.

Did I go way too low? 25K was more than I wanted to spend but this truck is in great shape. Still no way I'm going above 25K though.

 

damn! cr-v's cost that much?!?! i thought they were like ~18k!!!

 

Congrats. I knew I could talk you into getting one.

If it was too much, then why buy it now? Why not wait a little longer?

Anyways, if you are happy then congrats and...

 

Domn is is Canadia!

That is a lot of tax, though. Sheesh!

 

what Clutch said...


=

 

15% tax, its killer.

DEI, I didn't buy anything yet, I seriously doubt they'll accept that offer, its 4K less than they were originally asking, but I figured I have nothing to lose and it doesn't hurt to ask. As for buying now. Its an extremly clean CR-V with low Km's (14,375miles), they're hard to find.

 

Ouch for 15% tax.

You never know though, they might just be willing to just sell it and be gone with it. That is low mileage for a 2003. Good find if they accept the offer. Let us know when you hear.

 

might as well lowball'em and see if they'll take it...

 

Exactly, I'm no further ahead or behind then I was anyway.

And DEI, also regarding why I'd buy now, I need the car within 4 months, I seriously doubt CR-V prices will drop a whole lot by then anyway.

 

17.6% taxes???

 

You are probably right on that. Hope it works out for you.

 

Damn, I calculated wrong.

21,750 X 15% = 25,000 and 23,500 X 15% = 27,000.

So maybe I have a chance. I went 3,250 below what they were initially asking and only 1,750 below what they offered without any negotiation.

 

domn, when you will hear back? Today possibly?

 

I told him to let me know either way. But I initially e-mailed him about this CR-V on Monday and heard back this morning. If he doesn't reply back by 4PM, I'll give him a call.

Then again maybe my offer was so low he's insulted.

 

That could be it.

But if they want your business bad enough, they will call you either way. If they say no, will you go any higher?

 

How about the Chevy Equinox? Still considering that one?

 

That offer seems pretty reasonable to me.

 

I guess they didn't think so as he won't budge on 23,500 + taxes. Oh well.

And no DEI, I won't go any higher than 25K. Its already more than I wanted to spend.

 

Standing strong I see, as you should.

 

That's OK. Maybe if it's still on their lot in a week or two you can try again. You're in no hurry, so it can't hurt to wait it out a bit.

 

What do you guys think about a Isuzu Rodeo? 205HP/214lb-ft lots of space on a old platform and not so good fuel consumption 16/20 MPG.

 

You could re-badge it as a honda

 

I wasn't sure, that was the Passport right? I don't think we ever got that in Canada.

 

The Honda Passport wasn't sold in Canada, 1994-2002 They sold in the US.

 

Too much $$$.

I didn't think I ever saw a Passport in Canada.
