My Review of Willett Honda:
I had a very pleasant experience when buying my Honda Civic. They were not pushy and were helpful and knowledgable. I shopped around and their price was the best. I would highly recommend this dealership.

My Review of Willett Honda:
I had an excellent experience with Willet. I live a little over an hour away from the dealership but they had the right model and color I needed at the right price.

Although they suggested I put down a deposit to hold the vehicle, I decided not to based on the prior reviews on this board and my concern that I was being pulled into a bait and switch.

Three other dealers had told me that Willet's pricing was unrealistic and that they could not come to within $1200 of my quote as they would lose money on the transaction. I was warned by those other dealers that Willet would play tricks, force me to buy warranties, and put me in high priced financing. Interestingly, one of the dealers who was most adamant about Willet playing "tricks" called me the following day with a competitive deal to Willet's, prompting me to drive an hour plus to Willit to see if their deal was legit.

The fact of the matter is they treated me very respectfully, did not use high pressure, and lived to the letter of their internet quote. Additionally, I had obtained pre-approval for financing with an attractive rate (which was 45 bps under American Honda's best rate) but Willet was able to find a rate which was another 31 bps under my Bank of America associate rate.

Joel and Todd were amazing. If you are considering a new Honda I recommend you get a quote from them. If it seems to good to be true, take the time to visit as I did as it worked tremendously well for me.

My Review of Willett Honda:
they tried to pull the classic bait and switch. Internet salesman Joel Kirk lied right up to the last minute, pretending that they actually had the car we wanted at the negotiated price (2008 Odyessy EX-L). They even tried to have us sign the paperwork before showing us the car.

I knew something was up when Kirk's "boss" want $500 the day before to "hold" the car until the next morning. Glad we did not give it to them , they are crooks

My Review of Willett Honda:
Apparently the management team at this dealership believed me to be stupid. I went there while shopping around to replace my existing vehicle. They informed me that the vehicle I wanted would cost me over $600per month to purchase and over $450per month to lease provided that I gave them $2000 down. I left the dealership feeling very angry. It seems like they are only concerned with profit margin, not customer service. The next day I traveled a few miles down the road to another Honda dealership and purchased the same car I had been looking at for $399per month with no money down. I guess Im not as stupid as they thought I was.
