I just test-drove the 2025 CRV AWD Sport-L here in the Seattle area, and I’m still stuck between red or blue. The sticker price for both is $40,655, but I got a $2,650 discount through Costco, so the price comes down to $38,005.
With dealer doc fees ($200), title ($24), license ($550), and taxes, the total OTD is close to $42,900. They didn’t let me take the Costco pricing sheet, or I would’ve uploaded it for reference.
What do you think—$42.9k OTD sound fair for Seattle? And is it worth checking other dealerships? Also, leaning towards blue, but still can’t decide—any preferences on color?
Blue’s the way to go! As for the price, $42.9k OTD with all those extras factored in is pretty fair for this trim and area. If you’ve got the time, maybe call one or two other dealers, but I wouldn’t expect a huge difference.
My 2024 Hybrid Sport L CRV is Midnight Pearl Blue, and it’s still turning heads after a year. I’ve never had a car get so many compliments on its color, even from strangers. Blue makes it easy to spot in a sea of boring black, gray, white, and silver cars.
Red’s a great option if you want something that stands out a bit more. $42.9k OTD seems like a fair deal given all the fees included. If you’re happy with the overall package, I’d say go for it, but no harm in shopping around a bit more
