I expected more from a established high volume dealership.
Previously purchased pre-owned certified Honda accord 2011' from Scott Clark Honda. Regularly had it serviced only at this dealership. Manufacturer recommends oil change in 5k intervals. I had it done every 3k, had transmission fluid flushed, not exchanged, etc. One of my hobbies is auto detailing, so the car was cleaner than when I bought it from them....Immaculate inside and out!!! Even the swirls & scratches on the paint that I received the car with had been polished out.
Car was still under warranty.
Went shopping for a newer 14' model accord V6.
This dealership offers a trade up vehicle exchange program advertising
"Above Market Value For Your Vehicle".
I am not naive. I only expected market (trade) value for my car. Even in fair condition price range, I would have accepted a reasonable offer....NOT HERE!
Drove about a mile down Independence Blvd to Carmax. Was offered (+) $1,300.00 more than Scott Clark Honda offered. Didn't buy anything there but wound up at Hendrick BMW where I received (+) $1,500.00 more than Scott Clark Honda offered. Although I have always owned and love Honda,
I am now the proud owner of 2013 BMW 328i.
The devil is in the details...
The price quote that I originally received (online) from Scott Clark Honda was their so called "e-Price". I came in with my own financing (that's a no,no for them).
Hmmm...I wonder if I was paying straight up cash, would they have honored their own "e-Price".
