My Review of Kelly Honda:
This dealer is a 45min drive from my house, I made an appointment so I would not have to wait, I have a toddler whose schedule I need to work around. When I got to the dealer not only were the 2 specific cars I asked to test drive not ready, they couldn't find one of them. Walter led me to one of the cars so we could check the mileage and confirm that it was one of the two, but instead of letting me look at the vehicle and inspect it, he turned his back on me opened the door turned the car on briefly to check the mileage, then turned it off quickly and locked the door again. OK. I had to wait for half an hour before either car was ready. in which time W disappeared to presumably smoke a cigarette (he came back smelling like smoke). Finally I test drove both cars, decided to make an offer on one. At this point they estimated the trade in for my car, KBB showing a $3000 value for it, they offered me $900. Ha Ha Ha. Having done extensive research on inventory and prices of CR-Vs in the Boston area, I low balled them on the offer still allowing for them to make a profit of about $1500 to $2000 on the car, (who wouldn't in this economy). W became defensive and even angry refusing to counter offer. Bob the manager was just as bad. Attacking me on my accounting of the value of the cars, even accusing ME of being rude. (I was willing to go up by $500 to $1000) By not counter offering or haggling in any way they really shot themselves in the foot. My friend suggested that they were intimidated by a woman being knowledgeable about cars, she has a Psychology degree so... Who knows maybe a man would have been treated differently at this place.
The whole thing was a two hour waste of time.
