To start off — I am sorry for any trouble! I feel awful that we gave you a bad experience. I am hoping you can help clarify somethings for me. To start, there is definitely a recent graduate discount from Acura. This money comes directly from the manufacturer. By not giving the discount, it would not do us any good — the money would not come to us. There is zero benefit to us not applying a recent graduate discount. On the contrary, we would love to give out that discount to everyone eligible because it makes the car more affordable. I reviewed all of our CRM information and do not see any discussion of this rebate. Maybe it happened in outside texts or by phone or something like that. What I see is a showroom visit on July 2nd with Sam and Junior and Jackie Brunache to see a 2023 MDX and a lot of texting until November - do I have the right deal? If not, please let me know! I really want to make up for any miscommunication. I’d appreciate the help - very concerning to me. You can reply to this email or call me at 513-290-5646 or email me at johnconnelly@acuracolumbus.com. Thanks, John Connelly Owner/Acura Columbus

You should buy an Acura and you should do it here. No sales pressure and no markups, and I was in and out in half the time I’ve spent at a dealership in the past. More

Thanks for the review — and your kind words for Tom Cole, Sam McHale and Adam Hannah. I am sorry it did not go well with you and Antonio, but I have to say that he is an incredible person to me and we are very lucky to have him on our team. Please hold me accountable for any problems — it is ultimately on me and I deserve the 1 star and not Antonio. I hope that you will stick with us in the future and I bet that if given the chance in the future, Antonio, Sam, Tom and Adam can make you and your friends/family happy. Thank you for the opportunity and I apologize for any problems — please enjoy your car! - John Connelly Owner/Acura Columbus

Can you please do me a favor and remove the part about swearing to all Gods? It really hurt Antonio’s feelings to say that he swore upon God — it would be nice to rephrase it. Thanks, John Connelly
