N. Calif. - Buying in next 3 weeks

[fjcastro]

I am going to be buying my new CRV EX-L in the next three weeks in No. California (S.F. Bay Area). Anyone have any suggestions on which dealer will be best to work with. I am thinking of the Honda Superstore in Palo Alto, Honda Oakland and Honda Walnut Creek. Anyone have any experience with any of these?

Thanks!

I bought mine from the Internet department at Anderson in Palo Alto (what you're calling the Honda Superstore). Aside from having to wait about a month for delivery, the process was very easy, the salesperson was professional, and the price (in December) was better than the four other dealers I shopped (all via the Internet) and actually a great price. The finance guy *really* wanted to sell me a wildly overpriced Hondacare warranty, but he did take no for an answer.

You might also add Hopkins in Sunnyvale to your dealer list. They were very close to Anderson's price but the Internet rep I was working with dropped the ball partway through our negotiation. I've been going to Hopkins for service for 15 years, though, and they're competent and honest in my opinion (for what that's worth).

I got my EX-L AWD from the internet department at SF Honda in December at a few hundred bucks above invoice. San Leandro Honda was also willing to price match other dealership but they didn't have the color I wanted.
