I was getting ready to purchase my third Honda From SHOWCASE HONDA. Dealt with a sales person calling himself AJ. Nice gentleman w/ good follow up. After some meaningful exchange of information regarding my trade-in and my budget we came close to a deal BUT were $350 off. Like most dealership sales reps, AJ was not the final decision maker, which meant dealing with the sales manager. When talking to the sales manager, he would not do the deal due to the $350 difference. He then offered to split the difference and when I said no - he said, "thank you for your time."
End of dialogue...
One of the largest Honda dealerships in the nation passed up on $22,000 CASH for $175 - - - Hard to believe that a sales director (AT) would not demonstrate flexibility to a long time customer for a measly $175!!!
I e-mailed AJ the sales rep to let him know that I would blog & tweet my experience. After reading this, I hope they wake up and smell the coffee. Probably won't do business with them again given my experience.

It's now a month later and the vehicle they would NOT sell for a difference of $175 is still being advertised! Showcase Honda management lack business savvy!!!
