| Buyer Comments: | I researched for months. Negotiated in person and by email with several dealers. Worked out the ultimate price by email with Boch Honda then went to the dealer and test drove the particular car slated for me (I had test driven one at another dealer previously). The fact that it is end of season inventory clearance of course helped. The salesman I dealt with in person was Jim Travers and he is the polar opposite of a stereotypical
salesperson- a true delight. He explained in great deal the various features of the car and was not miffed in the least when I took time to read the fine print. I then met with the manager who finalized the paperwork and the accessories person. I would not recommend walking into a dealership without doing your homework particularly this one as it is big and busy. Prepare to spend a few hours there even if the price is already worked out in advance. Check out AAA rates before agreeing to Honda financing, they may be better. |
| Pros: | Ability to negotiate by email; also the fact that they pay cash for their cars and thus can offer better deals than some other dealers, and definitely Jim Travers. |
| Cons: | A little disorganized due to size. When I was there a few months earlier, the car I wanted was sold and out the door because nobody set aside the title while I was talking to the salesman. It worked out fine in the end. Also, the person I dealt with by email was off for two days and I had to resort to phone calls for further info as she did not have someone monitor her emails during that time period. I think that whether you like this dealer depends on your encounters with specific people and since it is so big, I can only say that Jim Travers, Emily (the accessory person) and Karyn (the manager) were good people with whom to deal. |
