Hudson Honda
Dealership Sales Review
On July 9, 2008, I was quoted a lease price of $395.95 per month (including tax) based on a selling price of a 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid of $23,270 + 8.375% New York state tax = $25,218.86 and no money down. I was required to put down a deposit of 1 month payment of $395.95 + $199 document fee + $187.50 license & registration fee for NY state = $782.45 and I did; charging it to my credit card. I was told the car would be in approximately 1-2 weeks from that date. 47 days later I received a call from Hudson Honda saying my car was in and that I needed to pick it up by the end of August so the sale would get on their August books. I went in on August 30 to pickup and was presented with a new salesperson and a manager (Christopher Tropiano) who was trying to tell me that my lease payment would now be $438 per month because the previous quote of $395.95 did not inlude tax. They were trying to double tax me and this time at a rate of nearly 11% of which no state has such a high sales tax! They would not budge, telling me the car was in high demand and they could easily sell it to someone else. I walked out without my car after waiting nearly 7 weeks for it because I don't deal with [violative content deleted]!
