Honda CR-V
High demand is where markups and add-ons hide
The CR-V holds value well, which dealers know — so the pressure usually shows up as add-ons, protection products and financing markup rather than sticker price.
Trims that change the money
Confirm the exact trim and installed options on your quote before comparing it to anything else.

What to watch for on the paperwork
- Market adjustment or 'availability' line items added above MSRP.
- Paint protection, VIN etching and appearance packages bundled as non-negotiable.
- Extended warranty and GAP rolled into the payment without a separate price.
- Hybrid versus gas quotes compared on payment alone instead of total cost.
Say this at the desk
- “I'll pay MSRP plus tax, title and the state fee — nothing else.”
- “Price each protection product separately; I'll decide on them after the vehicle price is set.”
- “If financing here, show me the term, rate and total of payments in writing.”
