Missed $34k CR-V EX-L deal… now $36k 😩 Advice?

Hey all,

I’m 30 and looking to buy a new car. I wanted a Honda CR-V EX-L and was getting \~$34k OTD offers in March, but had to delay due to an unexpected expense. Now dealers are quoting \~$36k (MSRP \~$36.8k), which is over my $34k max budget.

Should I keep trying to negotiate, or look at other SUVs/sedans instead?

Must-haves:

•   Good safety features

•   Rear AC vents (preferred)

•   Reliability

Any suggestions? TIA.
