Let me start this reviewing by saying I'm a very picky car buyer but there have been plenty of dealers that have pleased me so I'm picky but not impossible. I was looking for a 2004 Honda Odyssey EX in ei car buyer but there have been plenty of dealers that have pleased me so I'm picky but not impossible. I was looking for a 2004 Honda Odyssey EX in either dark blue or red but Paddock had a low mile '03 in some shade of blue from Texas. I called to inquire whether it was the dark blue or the light, they responded that it was in the detail shop & they would have to get back to me. They never called back in any reasonable amount of time so I called back & it was on the lot by this point & in fact, it was the dark blue. I told the guy (forgot his name) I'd be down in 30 mins to have a look at it. When I arrived at the noticeably less nice Used lot, my sales guy was off at another lot showing someone a car so they wanted to wait until he got back but I was able to look at the van. It was actually nice to look at a vehicle with no sales people around but they did assign someone to me to "answer any questions". I was immediately disappointed with the condition of the van, huge dent in the C pillar, interior a mess (although it had been detailed) due to abuse (yes, I know a minivan is not a BMW but this was awful). When asked what I thought, I told them it would be fine for most people but not me. To this they said they may be able to make it right for me by dropping the price (already was a decent price), needless to say this piqued my interest. Up until this point, things were OK but this is where it all goes bad. They bring me into the dealership to talk about things (all I want to know is how low they will go), which turns into the usual car salesman games of taking all my info (including SS #), financing, trade, etc. I refuse to go down any of these roads & stick to the price issue. Next, the sales manager comes over to see what he "can do for me". I state the issue, which leads us back outside to go over the van. I state again that it's good enough for most people but not me but it would be for a price reduction. This leads into the same circle of crap of trades & financing instead of just a simple price. I promptly thank them for their time & leave having wasted over an hour & gotten nowhere. Now they have another negative review & Motorcars Honda in Cleveland Heights, OH has a sale for more $ than this van was. See my review for them, it was worth the 3 hour drive. More
this place is scam central. they are obviously out to make money anyway they can. there is a review in the buffalo news that they are a 'booming business'.. gee, i wonder why! no sooner do you drive of make money anyway they can. there is a review in the buffalo news that they are a 'booming business'.. gee, i wonder why! no sooner do you drive of the lot after a repair and wham! something else mysteriously goes wrong with your car. coincidence? i think not. IMHO, they tamper with your car so you have to bring it back for another pricey repair. More
