Great experience at our Neighborhood Honda Dealer It was a rainy Saturday and we decided last minute to stop by Clinton Honda to check out, and possibly test drive, the new 2014 Honda Accord and CR-V. It was a rainy Saturday and we decided last minute to stop by Clinton Honda to check out, and possibly test drive, the new 2014 Honda Accord and CR-V. My CR-V had been great, but it was 11 years old with 128,000 miles and a manual. I am sure it would have easily gone another 75,000 miles but, after a lot of research, I knew that a new CR-V was on my short list; we just didn't know if now was the time to buy. We parked in the Visitor's Parking Area and were met outside by Charlie Bippart. We told him we were only looking and would like to see the new Accords and Cr-V's and possibly test drive one. Charlie could not have been more accommodating or upbeat. After looking at the floor models, we knew that the white CR-V EX-L had all the features we were looking for; now we needed to see if the ride was comfortable, smooth and quiet. We both drove over a variety of roads including a bumpy back road. By the time the test drive was over, we knew we had found the car we wanted. Should we go further and see if Charlie could negotiate a deal we felt was fair for both parties? In the end, we settled on a price and trade-in we could feel good about. Before we knew it, we were driving home to pick up the pink slip and Clinton Honda was detailing "our" new car. Well, we have driven the car for 3 days now and couldn't be more pleased with our choice. The improvements in terms of technology, comfort, road noise and ride since my 2003 model are amazing. We feel like we are driving a luxury SUV. For anyone out there thinking about a new car, we can recommend Clinton Honda and Charlie Bippart specifically, without reservation. Charlie answered our questions and at all times maintained a professional attitude. At no time did we feel he "pressured" us. We are glad we decided to give our business to our local Honda Dealer. We could have "shopped" the deal, but we feel it is important to support local businesses and both Alex Gelfand, the Manager, and Charlie made it abundantly clear they appreciated our business. Give Clinton Honda a try next time you decide to shop for a Honda. You won't be disappointed. More

I am happy that everything turned out good for me. I got the color that I wanted & also additional accessories @ my price. It was really the worst thing that could happen to a customer in your showroom on saturday 1/25/14. You should never as a customer to come to the showroom & tell them that the car is sold. I will discourage my friends & family from going to Clinton Honda after how I was treated at the showroom & will redirect them to planet Honda. Pls don't do this to any of your customer." More
