My Review of Chezik-Bell Honda:
A one owner 2008 Toyota Prius Touring was advertised at the low price of $18,488 with 18,000 miles on it.
1) It was put on the lot to attract buyers and then push Honda's. Manager claimed ... the owner sold it ... because they were shopping for a Honda that accelerated faster. The Manager failed to recognize that the Carfax report (the customer purchased on their own) verified they were telling a fictional story.
2) The posted price factored in a typical trade-in ($2,000) which was not clearly posted or indicated that--that was the case. This particular trade-in was $3,750 for a cash-in-full paying customer. But it was very misleading to find that the vehicle bottomline was very different than what was expected.
There are other reports that this dealer pulls people in with what appears to be a value-price used vehicle and then tells the customer seeking financing that they don't qualify for a used car loan, but they could qualify for a new car loan.
3) For some odd reason when the customer purchased the vehicle in a daze from the experience, the ride home was very different than the test drive. In the follow-up call by the sales rep ... the frustrated and angry customer was told that the tires had 50 lbs of air rather than the 30 that is recommended. Once the tires were back to normal ... the car drove and rode like the Consumer Report recommended vehicle that the customer thought they had purchased.
