Buyers beware: I normally do not write negative reviews for companies because I am a firm supporter of local businesses. However, my experience today with Sales Manager Chad Of Space Coast Honda was horrific. Of course, I expected a song and dance, as well as some tough negotiating. I just never would expect flat out lies. First, Chad would not lower the asking price on a used car even $1.00. He also tried to trick me into believing that I was getting a discount by them not upselling me a warranty that I didn't even want, as well as me putting a down payment on the car, essentially me purchasing a lower payment and hoping that I think that it is a great deal. Then, he offered well below KBB, NADA, Edmunds, and Cars.com quotes on my trade-in. Fine, start low and negotiate is where I thought he was heading. However, he did not negotiate and he did not come up even $1.00 on the initial low-ball quote for my trade-in. OK, no problem; we just won't be able to make a deal - I can live with that since there are several Honda dealers within an hour of Cocoa. So, we thanked him and tried to leave, but they held our keys to our (trade-in) car hostage in their office while Chad, his salesman, and his supervisor discussed the transaction. When addressed by his supervisor, I mentioned I wasn't interested in a deal because that Chad wasn't willing to come down in price any amount on the used car and he was unwilling to come up in price any amount on my trade-in. Chad immediately lied and said he was willing to go up in price $500 on my trade-in. Even his salesman stated to me that Chad didn't budge on his initial trade-in quote. When challenged, Chad tried to save face and stated that he was actually offered $1,000 more for the trade-in than the original low-ball offer. Which lie do you want to stick with Chad, $500 or $1,000? I had him display the negotiating sheet in front of his supervisor, and although marked-up with other terms, there was no mark-ups on lowering the price of the used car or increasing the quote on the trade-in. So, the evidence was clear, the salesman agreed, and Chad couldn't even keep his lies straight. It is hard enough trying to purchase such an expensive product, but its horrific when an employee, especially a manager, flat out lies to you, and then changes his lie to another lie. I hope the supervisor and salesman realize that Chad's poor and dishonest behavior not only lost them my business, but will likely lose them more business. And to think that their motto is "Customer For Life". read more
