Find Honda Dealers in West Jordan, Utah

Sure, happy to help. On the off chance you commute in the Rocky Mountains :) , to me it would be a toss up between the (Civic) Accord, TDI. The TDI really runs like a mountain goat through the Rockies. On one trip I have run from Moab Ut, down to Las Vegas NV and have gotten 48 mpg!!?? I am directly comparing it to a 2001 Corvette Z06, that I have also had the pleasure of running through the Rocky's :) I have not run the Civic through the Rocky's.However being a gasser, I am sure altitude will rob some significant power from the Civic. But have done long distance runs of 750 miles in a day, Santa Barbara to San Jose CA and return in a day and a 1500 mile R/T from San Jose, to Portland Oregon and return. So unless you are running at altitude, the Civic is quite civil at highway speeds. The real secret is it does not take much hp to cruise at 65-85 mph. So 85-90 mph yields app 37 mpg. So if you wish better than that, a leisurely 65 will probably push that mpg figure closer to 41 mpg. This is with an automatic transmission to boot?!!!

I live in Portland, OR and I was shopping for a Honda Odyssey EXL and looking for an exteror color of red rock pearl. I paid a $500 deposit to order a vehicle from a near by dealer (capitol honda Mcminnville) for MSRP (30,810). This was on Sept 30th and the vehicle was to arrive 4-6 weeks from them. He gave me free splash guards + cross bars for free(if you buy these accessories after market and install it yourself they will cost around $200-$300). The vechicle was scheduled for delivery at the dealer on Nov. 2nd. Nobody on the west coast was providing any discount off MSRP for the vehicle. I shopped for the vehicle in California, Oregon & Washington states. In the meanwhile, I was looking at all the posts in this forum about how bad it is for the people in the market if you are buying a vehicle at MSRP. So, on the morning Oct 26th I decided to shop further and requested for deals within a 700 mile radius in Idaho & Utah. I got several emails quoting MSRP. There were 3 quotes that came on the top. College Hills Honda, OR was ready to offer the vehicle $29000 ($1800 below MSRP) but this was 2,200 miles away and shipping it was costing me a $1000. I got another quote from Ken Garff of Ogden which is near Saltlake city, UT for $28992.00(approximately $1800 below MSRP) but had $299 in documentation fee. This dealership was 770 miles away. Then, I got an internet sales person from Honda of Pocatello called me and agreed to give the vehicle of my choice for 29,110 ($1700 below MSRP) with a documentation fee of $149, temporary license for $30 and a $5 tire recycling fee with a full tank of gas on delivery. He had to do a dealer trade with another dealer from Montana and the vehicle will be in at his dealership on Oct 31st. In the meanwhile I have asked the local dealership where I paid the $500 deposit to be refunded and he agreed to refund it. The only downside is that it is costing me about $165 (including one way airfare, one way rental car & gas, 5 hours of time to reach there and another 9 hours to drive the vehicle 630 miles back). As the dealer is giving me a full tank of gas maybe, I might be gaining about $20-$30 here. I am going to pick the vehicle up on Nov. 12th. The drive from Idaho to Portland is supposed to be very scenic and beautiful and I have never been there. So, may be I am getting more...! I know you are all smart guys and you can do the Math. The moral of the story is to shop around even if you have to drive a little and don't forget that monthends are the time when dealers are being pushed to give you better deals due to the sales pressure.
