I was planning to buy a Toyota Prius V Model Four and trade-in my 2013 Honda CR-V EXL/R but changed my mind when I realized the OTD price for the Prius was ~2K more than the 2016 Honda CRV EXL (no longer Rear entertainment models unfortunately). In addition to the price, the Prius has less room for cargo, and after ~100k miles, I was told that you would probably need a new battery which costs about $5,000. So, no way!. My experience buying from Honda of Tysons Corner was fantastic for two reasons: a) I did not need to stop by to get a quote (it was sent by email by a very helpful guy Mr. Jose Mojica) compared to other dealerships that asked me to go in order to get their prices; and b) they have the same software Carmax uses to appraise your car, so at the end Honda gave me the same money. My advice: do your part by checking Kelly Blue Book (KBB) for ref prices, getting quotes (OTD price) from other dealerships, comparing between buying and leasing alternatives, needs in terms of performance, interior, safety, reliability, etc.
THANK YOU!
