My name is Nichole, I recently was trying to buy a car EVERYWHERE!!! Nobody would help me or take me seriously b/c I'm a girl and I'm only 21 years old. I spoke with a man named Henry Schwartz @ Nardy Hon EVERYWHERE!!! Nobody would help me or take me seriously b/c I'm a girl and I'm only 21 years old. I spoke with a man named Henry Schwartz @ Nardy Honda on a Saturday and he told me that there was no way I could get a loan w/o a co-signer and didn't even wanna try to help me. I thought I was out of options b/c the same man told me that I would need "more proof of income". Well apparently he was wrong. I went to Babylon and a sales lady told me the same story, but she was nicer I just cant remember her name and I lost her card. Finally I went to Baron Honda on rte 112 in Patchogue. I spoke with a man named Will Kroos and he said he would do everything he could for me. He still asked me for a co-signer but in a much nicer way and when I didn't have one. He spent the next few days trying to get me an approval on my own. He kept in touch with me everyday until Friday of that week when he called with the good news that Honda was willing to approve me at a very good interest rate and I bought the car. Will got me the best price out of everybody I talked to and the finance person Joe was excellent as well. I'm going to send all my friends down to Baron and I hope everybody that reads this realizes that there are still some car dealers out there who have some class!!! More
Buyer Beware......Yes you better bring your A game to handle a high pressure sales pitch at this dealer!! I recently went to Baron to purchase my second vehicle from them. I received a very good price handle a high pressure sales pitch at this dealer!! I recently went to Baron to purchase my second vehicle from them. I received a very good price from them for a minivan. I did receive a slightly lower one by $300 from another dealer but that wasn't the color we wanted and the dealer was located in huntington so we decided to trust Baron Honda and give them our business and loyalty. Unfortunately we used their fiance person Laura !!! WE did recieve a good interest rate that beat our credit union. Our salesmen gave us the breakdown for a 60 month loan at the interest rate and monthly payment. when we sat down with laura she had a 66 month deal at the same monthly payment. I said that was a deal breaker and she quickly produced a erroneous total pay out with interest and said divide it by 60 or 66 payments and it is virtaully the same thing! it made sense. Then she began a presentation of warranties on a piece of paper that last almost two hours in duration. She said that she had to do it because of her bosses. Typically tactic of a sales gimic! It was like a time share if you have ever gone to one of those things. We repeatly said no...no....no. Then she said we could get a three year bumper to bumper extended warranty for an extra three dollars a month. It made sense. ONly she based it on false and misleading numbers that she made up!! So I just felt something was wrong and checked all the numbers myself and found that she lied and misrepresented the total pay out numbers. I used bankrate.com I immediately went back the next day and said this was unacceptable and said that I was lied to. By the way she did this while my wife and two kids were waiting to take our family minvan home. It was suppose to be a fun family day and she turned it into a nightmare and a horror show. I spoke to the manager and demanded that the warranty be removed and they immediately retract it. In the contract it does say you can cancel the warranty within sixty days. They said they were sorry for the situation but would have to talk to Laura. Basically she did everything she could to get what she wanted at all cost. She didn't care about anything accept getting her share of my familys money. Basically I would have paided 2500 dollars for a policy that she said cost 700 dollars or three dollars a month!! xx So my advice is not to do business with baron because obviously its a pattern and part of there business practice! Take as much money as they can of yours at any cost! More
A few months back I was looking for my first new car. I got some quotes online and went to a few dealerships. Originally I was leaning towards a Honda. I went to this dealership and met with their two got some quotes online and went to a few dealerships. Originally I was leaning towards a Honda. I went to this dealership and met with their two salespeople who were introduced to me through the online quoting system. The first guy I met was Tony, I think. After about 5 minutes he passed me off to Joe with no explanation. I guess Tony thought he had something better to do. Then Joe kind of sad in silence with me, not really wanting to talk about price. Pretty much seemed like he thought I was a stupid kid and I wouldn't get to buy anything unless I wanted to pay MSRP... To worsen the situation, some man came in screaming about how he wanted what he was promised and telling people not to trust the dealership. This was around the time of the cash for clunkers and it sounded like they screwed that guy over. Long story short, I bought a Toyota Camry from Smithtown and I love it. If you're going to shop for a Honda this is not the place to go... More

We recently had a terrible buying experience at this dealership. Our story is similar to previous negative reviews. They gave us a great price intially, but when you meet with the finance person, she wi dealership. Our story is similar to previous negative reviews. They gave us a great price intially, but when you meet with the finance person, she will try to tack on thousands for an extended warranty, oil change service program, remote start and window etching. She will present a "Bi-Weekly" payment program to justify it. Don't be fooled. More
My salesman was wonderful, the price I got was excellent (nobody could beat it) and when I had a problem I received two calls back from two managers. They have promised to make it right and I am confident t (nobody could beat it) and when I had a problem I received two calls back from two managers. They have promised to make it right and I am confident that they will. Always beware of a business/financial manager at any dealership, but if you have decent people running the place, they can be kept in check. I would recommend my salesman to anyone. More

Beware!!! Apparently things have changed at Baron Honda. The salesman was fine but I was totally lied to and deceived into paying $4,000 for a $800 extended warranty. Laura convinced me that if I made bi-w The salesman was fine but I was totally lied to and deceived into paying $4,000 for a $800 extended warranty. Laura convinced me that if I made bi-weekly payments toward the car I could add the warranty on for about $600. She never mentioned that this would add an additional 5 car payments through the life of the loan. The sales contract showed an extra 5 payments on the loan & when I asked about it, she crossed the number out (doesn't that seem criminal). When I got the loan paperwork from the bank guess what? The loan has 5 more payments showing on it than I agreed to. I am actually paying about $2,400 not $600. So, I called to complain & she yelled for a while & then hung up. I guess she doesn't like to get caught lying. Do you want to deal with that??? More
In 1989, bought a car there: settled on a price, salesman came out and said (the old trick) that the boss wants $200. more. I was young and dumb and accepted it. 1994 went to Baron for a new car, agreed on came out and said (the old trick) that the boss wants $200. more. I was young and dumb and accepted it. 1994 went to Baron for a new car, agreed on a price, shook hands, came back next day with check to close the deal. They said price was too low, no deal. So, I went to Saturn for a very nice no-haggle experience for 13 years and two cars. Saturn then leaves my area of Long Island. Went back to Baron Honda to check price on 1997 Civic: Salesman says it's the car of the year; can't go less than 21,000. I went Babylon Honda first, and then to Nardy Honda and bought it there for 17,200; Babylon Honda called back but after I made the deal and offered to sell it for 16,800. Those are the facts. Same car...Baron 21,000. Nardy 17,200. Babylon 16,800. More
