| - These guys are scam artist. After shopping around online, I saw this Accord that I liked. When I called to see if it was available they told me come on in. Owning several Hondas already, I knew what the drive would be like so I asked if they could just run some numbers so no one is wasting their time. After going back and forth a few times (not giving us any numbers), they finally had us come in. I saw the car, took it for a test drive and sat down to make the deal. We told them again, so we aren't wasting anyone one's time, here's the deal we are looking for. The salesman went to "check" with his manager and came right back to tell us that they will accept the offer. To our surprise we couldn't believe that in one time they accepted our offer. So we did the process of finance, etc and got the car. I got a call a week and a half later from the dealership that Honda Financial did not agree with the deal the dealership had given us for the lease. We asked what was the difference and again they wouldn't tell us until we came back to the dealership. Thinking that we where talking $10 per month change in price we came back. The dealership told us that they where increasing the payments by $140!!! I was blown away, I couldn't believe that they would "miscalculate" that much! I asked why they didn't check everything before we sat down to sign the agreement (they did a credit check, etc). Our sales guy basically told me that they get an approval from the manager and then submit it to Honda Financial in hopes that they approve what they quote the customer. I was in disbelief and couldn't believe what I was hearing. Then they tried to sell us on another Honda with less features, etc. I told them where to stick it. I returned the car and got my deposit back. After talking to a couple of other Honda dealerships around town I was told that this wasn't the first that they heard about this from Honda West. Whether or not thats true, I have no idea but two separate dealerships told me the same thing. This was my experience with them and I'm sure everyone has had good and bad ones. Our family has own at least 10 Honda from the 80s-now and this just left a bad taste in our mouth. We have purchased our current Hondas (at least the last 5) from Desert Honda on the other side of Sahara. Don't waste your time here, if you do decide to go, make sure they have you approved through Honda Financial first!!
