Honda of Staten Island

I was interested in Leasing a 2006 Honda Civic EX. After asking for dealer quotes online, Staten Island Honda replied asking me to contact them because they "had" the car I was looking for. I called and wa asking for dealer quotes online, Staten Island Honda replied asking me to contact them because they "had" the car I was looking for. I called and was given a quote. The amount was high and I asked if a better deal could be made. A new quote was offered to me ONLY AFTER ALL MY FINANCIAL INFORMATION WAS TAKEN. He said he would "check" and get back to me with a deal. We came to an agreement and it was going to take 1 to 2 weeks to get the car in. He took my credit card number for a deposit, gave me a vin number for my insurance. He called a week later and said the car CAME IN and to come the next day and sign the lease and transfer my insurance. The next day I called to verify time and so forth and was told EVERYTHING WAS FINE and to come. That day I got rid of my old car so that the plates would be free and transfered my insurance to the new car. When I showed up, they made me wait for the dealer for about half an hour, then he came out and said that the car that came in was in a different color by mistake, oh and by the way it was an LX and not an EX. Shocked not that a mistake was made but that he didn't warn me about it when I spoke to him on the phone I was outraged. All I could think about was that I got rid of my old car and there was no car waiting for me...It got worse, not only was there no car, there was no deal at all. The amount we agreed to on the phone didn't exit and he said I was declined by his banks. I became enraged about the entire situation and all they could say was "there is no need for unpleasantness and pointing fingers". They could try one last bank tomorrow in a last ditch effort to get me that lease, but the quote we discussed was only for Tier One credit and would not apply to me. I brought up the fact that none of this was mentioned on the phone and that all my information must have been taken for a reason and that I was lead to believe there were no problems. They just kept backtracking and making excusses. Its not their fault, he could not have possibly told me that...I stormed out and took my business to another dealer the very next day. DO NOT TRUST THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! More
