Hi, I always thought it made more sense to purchase cars that were 2-3 years old rather than new.  But for some reason, alot of the used models are priced higher.  I am looking to buy a 3 year or less Honda CRV (very basic model with no extra options/features), The cheapest price I have found locally is $21,700 and that is a new one from dealer.  I need 36K miles or less, automatic transmission as it is for my daughter in college.  I live in Georgia but am willing to travel up to 400 miles to get the best price.   Do you have any suggestion as to the best place to buy from and also what is the dealer cost for a basic 2011 CRV?
I appreciate your help.

Hello Good Day,

  I am currently selling a brand new 2009 Honda CRV LX with ONLY 5,000 miles on it, fully-loaded, with back-up camera on the rear view mirror, clear title, and all the works for only $18,000. A MUST-SEE and a MUST-BUY...Email me if interested or if you know anyone who is. I have other vehicles too if interested. Thank you in advance.

In my opinion it will be a nice deal for you. A Honda CRV which is 3 years old is a great option to buy. But If I were in your place I think I would try to negotiate and make it on max $20k. I would suggest you try to look for few other options as well and whatever you will do, do it in an informed way... good luck!

Hi everyone.

Can please give me an advice. Not long time ago I gave a birth to the
second child in our family and now we are thinking of buying a family car.  My budget is a $25.000.
Now my dilemma, I don't know much about cars and have only every purchased VW. The problem is that VWs are really expensive and don't meet our needs. After doing quite a bit of research we have narrowed down our search to the following 3 vehicles:

2012 Honda CR-V 2.4L
http://automobiles.honda.com/cr-v/
2013 Ford Escape 2.0L EcoBoost
http://www.ford.com/suvs/escape/
2012 Chevrolet Equinox 2.4L
http://www.chevrolet.com/equinox-crossover-suv.html

What can you say about  these vehicles? I would appreciate any recommendations regarding the cars above and would value the input of owners with these cars already.

Also I've found the website http://carstraderusa.com/car-discount.html and  it offers these cars at the price, which is lower than dealers' offers in  my state. Can I trust them though? Is there anybody who dealt with them?

Thanks for your time.
