MarueenT,
Why people keep insisting that older machines be junked is beyond me. It must be a sickness caused by the odor of plastic.
Where at in IL? If it's in Springfield or a surrounding town and you want some help taking it apart give me a PM and we'll set up a time.
I've got a Nissan Pathfinder and cabinets fit just fine fully assembled. So it should fit with no problems in your CRV.
