Car Sales

I'm pretty upset at Mile Hight Honda right now.

Ok so on saturday I went to mile high honda with my girl and my parents to buy cars. My mom is looking for a CRV and my girl really want an Element and we finally decided to get one. So we go down there and they have a 07 element SC which is very nice but its auto. After looking at it and checking on finances we decided that we are going to get one but we wanted a 5 speed, we tell the sales person that we would like to put down some money and wait for a 5 speed. The jack ass told us that no, he said that honda doesn't do build to order and that they have an 07 in orange that they can get for us same day and its a 5 speed. WTF how can you say no to a customer that is willing to pay for a car and wait for it.

So needles to say we left with out buying any cars and my parents will be purchasing a Toyota 4 runner and we are going to Subaru today to check out a WRX wagon.

This really pisses me off. I don't think that I will be buying a new honda ever.

Here is a pic of the SC http://automobiles.honda.com/images/banners/2007/element_sc/exterior_gallery/large2.jpg

and here is the one he offered to us

And the price difference is only $600


So what do you expact from a sales person when you are car shopping?

I think Burt Kuni has a 5 speed SC. I was thinking about trading mine in on it but Its about 10K more than I paid for mine.

Don't discount an entire manufacturer just because one jackass was trying to make a sale THAT day. That's just stupid.

Good point. I'm still pretty pissed about it. But will be going to Burt today to check out the 5 speed.

Yeah, car salesmen can be stupid fucking assholes. Just make sure you've got a good reason to not buy from your favorite manufacture. ;)

fuck mile high... I want to shoot that place up one day....

when I bought my 99 accord EX V6 they were the cheapest... but they claimed they didn't have a new (non test driven) white one... so I started walking out... then the sales man said the ''found'' one in the back... BS! you don't just find a car.. they just wanted to sell me a test driven POS... John elway was great when I bought my s2k

Mile High Acura/Honda are full of tools. I went there after Courtesy Acura when I was looking for a brand new GSR. I told the sales guy at Mile High the price I was quoted from Courtesy and they said couldnt beat it but he takes my number. Later that night, he calls me about 5 times trying to get me to come back. I told him I already bought the one from Courtesy. He snoozed, he loozed! :D

Sure you can find a car on a car lot with hundreds of cars on them.

PM me if you want a Subaru. My Roommate will hook you up. He'll get you the best deal in the state, and he'll make it quick and easy, in and out.
Thanks.
