Hey there, I’m looking to this Honda CRV 2010 with about 83000 miles selling for about $16000. Everything is in good condition and it comes with a leather interior which will be needed (kids). The maintenance has been kept up very well on it; my question is do you think this is a good price for this year and model? I’m thinking if I bring cash to the table I may be able to bring it down a bit… Thanks guys! ---

It sounds overpriced to me by quite a bit. NADA shows about 10-12. Another good way of getting a feel for prices is to do a search on eBay Motors for the car in question and use the “Completed Listings” function which will show ending prices/bids for exact or similar cars. ---

I agree that the price sounds too high by several thousand $$. ---

Pass. It may be loaded, but that doesn’t matter as much for the value of a used car as most buyers are looking for basic transportation. This is still five years old with a typical number of miles for its age, and should be priced accordingly. You should be able to find a cheaper one, though finding one with leather may take patience. ---

Too much money for that many miles for me to consider… I would sacrifice options for mileage. Leather and kids ? How about seat covers. 😉 and a car with fewer miles. I would Look for a CRV in the 40 to 50k range of you have that kind of money. You are paying too much for the options and the EX model. ---

The trouble with buying it for a price like that is if you decide to sell it after you buy it, or if your insurance is going to reimburse you for a crash, you’ll get $4k-$6k less for it. ---

There are 4 trim levels (LX, EX, EX-L, EX-L with navigation). Which one is it? That has a big impact on price. Also, is this a dealer or private sale? And you can always negotiate,the price down. Don’t buy it without having it inspected by a mechanic you choose,and don’t overpay. The more you know about this SUV, the better able you,will be to price it properly. ---

Price is too high, and with that many miles you need perfect maintenance records and mint condition. ---

I have to wonder if the OP has even done any research at all. Kelly Blue Book or ads on AutoTrader or are they just asking anonymous people on a web site that have no idea where the OP is or what trim level the vehicle is ? In my area a fully equipped 2010 CRV dealer price is about 18000.00. N E Oklahoma ---

I’ll let the OP decide about the mileage but the price is right at what KBB says for the year/trim/mileage in my area for a private sale and the only one at the local dealer has around 65,000 miles and they want $20,000+. ---

Same here Honda really keeps its value around here, especially something popular such as the CR-V ---

A point about some footwork and pricing. A year newer, cheaper, and half the miles. Others have gone for less. How much this one went for I have no idea but it was sub 15. > **[2011 Honda CR-V LX Sport Utility 4-Door | eBay](http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-CR-V-LX-Sport-Utility-4-Door-2011-honda-crv-lx-/171652321119?forcerrptr=true&hash=item27f7468f5f&item=171652321119&pt=US_Cars_Trucks)** > > 2011 Honda CR-V LX Sport Utility 4-Door | eBay Motors, Cars & Trucks, Honda | eBay! ---

I would never, ever, buy a car off ebay, unless I personally drove over there to inspect it No offense intended to any businesses that specialize in vehicle inspections ---

Way overpriced. And you don’t need leather seats for kids. I know, because I raised kids. That’s an excuse to get leather seats. ---

Leather, both in the car and in the home, is much easier to clean up than cloth. Your kids must never have spilled anything. Or life just wasn’t as busy then. I have a friend who has his heart set on a Honda Pilot. I see a 10 year old car for sale for $15,000. Sounds crazy to me but if that is what the market will bear… ---

If the service history is well documented and the CRV is in great shape it’s a fair deal. Yes you can get a lower trim with less miles but it’s basically in line with the market around Seattle for a EX-L of this generation with under 100,000 miles.
