Mama Bear
Your personal car-buying advisor
I pulled your report on that 2021 CR-V. Bear Score is 82 β€” solid buy. But I want to flag one thing before you sign.
What did you find?
Asking price is $23,800. Market comp for this trim and mileage is $22,100–$22,600. You're being asked to pay $1,200–$1,700 over. Offer $21,900 and let them counter.
What if they won't budge?
Walk. There are 4 similar CR-Vs within 30 miles with better value scores. You have the leverage here β€” don't let them pretend you don't.
