My Review of Honda of Hollywood:
I recently moved to California from New York. I have been riding for over 10 years and of course wanted to purchase a motorcycle to enjoy in the beautiful California weather. I went to Honda of Hollywood to check out the 2008 Honda CBR 600RR.

I asked a simple question regarding pricing. I told the sales person what was the best he could do for the 2008 CBR since the 2009 was coming out soon. He said he couldn't give me a price until I was serious about buying. I told him that I was serious but I can't buy a bike without knowing the price I'm getting. He told me MSRP Plus Tax, Title and Freight. I told him I was also interested in the 2008 YZF so depending on pricing I would make a decision the following week. Could he give me a better price. At that time I recieved a call while trying to Negotiate and while on the phone I heard the salesman tell another salesman. "Those people are a waste of time." Meaning Latinos like me I take it. I quickly got off my business call and told him. I don't know how business is done in LA but in NY you treat all customers with respect. I told him to have a nice day and walked out. I'll be picking up my Yamaha this weekend. At least they made my decision a lot easier. I won't say who I ended up getting the bike from but shop around you'll get better pricing and service elsewhere.

My Review of Honda of Hollywood:
I've been with plenty of people to buy new cars, and I've seen the car salesmen hassle them to death. Not here though. We walked in and were greeted by our sales rep and he was laid back and really nice and never hassled us on any prices, colors, extra features, or anything like that. He knew what we were looking to spend and found a brand new civic that fit the price and we were set to go. Financing it was a breeze, we got a great deal on APR and warranty. Eric really made the process easy and smooth and I would recommend going to this dealership--worth the drive for us. I enjoy my car to the fullest knowing I wasn't pushed into buying anything I wasn't ready for.

My Review of Honda of Hollywood:
I came to this dealership after going to Airport Marina Honda, and let me tell you, this was a huge step up. I told them up front what I was willing to spend for a Honda Fit. They told me flat out that they could not do the deal for what I had. No bait and switch, no checking with managers, no sleaze-ball tactics. Just a respectful decline.
Even though I didn't get the car from these guys, I will definitely keep them in mind in the future.

My Review of Honda of Hollywood:
I read what others had to say and was a bit concerned but we went in with the list of ten common scams by car dealer (to wave in their face) and our cheque from Capitol One. Our sales guy John was great (they always are) and there was no switch and bait on the pricing - they were the most upfront about their pricing of all the dealers we had spoken to. It wasn't painless and some manager (whose name I can't remember) tried to pull the "we must run your credit record" rubbish but we gave him a little lecture and he dropped it. The person who processed the sale, Jeanne, was very sweet and seemed to be pretty above board. We did however have to leave the car there to get detailed so hopefully it's fine. Ok, so we went to pick up the car and some random guy came out and tried once again (after the bank had opened, they had the cash) to get us to do a credit check claiming there was no legal contract and other rubbish. Their final comment was how do we get hold of you if there is a recall. It felt like they were doing us a favor by selling us a car. Would not return. Too traumatic!
