VIP Honda

I go in there and they were in such a hurry to make a deal that they barely listened to me. I was leaning between the Civic and the Insight and they immediately pushed me to the Civic without even going over anything on the Insight. Lucky for them, I preferred the Civic from my prior research and decided to just roll with it. So I'm the easiest customer ever. I tell them to put the lease numbers together, they do, I say let's do it. Drive out with a brand new Civic EX that is really a great car. One week later I get a call from them saying I have to come in and do the paperwork. Seems they gave me the Super-Preferred deal when my credit rating was just a bit lower than the cut-off for Super-Preferred. Honda Leasing turned me down for Super-Preferred and now I had to put an extra $900 down on the lease. I eventually beat them down to $450 down and 2 free oil changes but I didn't want to even do that. They had shipped my trade-in to a wholesaler and it would have been a bigger pain to undo the deal (and try to re-finance my trade-in). Thus, I have taken to every dealer rating site I can find to voice my displeasure. I heard these guys were shady but I figured I wanted a straight-up deal and they couldn't screw that up. Do yourself a favor and take your business to another Honda Dealer- it will be worth it.
