this is an affluent area-- why would a dealership go old-school and ignore the opportunity to build trust and relationships??? the sales management (Larry) must be south shore and/or a short-timer. The tactics used went out of vougue in the 80s. I cannot imagine that they can generate sales by using bait & switch tactics and/or making ridiculous offers to see if the buyer will bite. anyone checking invoice prices online or book value for cars would immediately see their tactics as infuriating. are we really that stupid???? or are they???

I had a very frustrating experience this week at Honda-Covington. Found a great car (used) and was ready to buy. The sales person was nice enough and capable enough-- except when it came to giving me straight answers on the price. He always had to check with the "manager" (a.k.a. "Larry"). When they finally did provide a price, it was merely 10% off of the invoice (2 year old vehicle) and to add insult to injury they offered me about 30% of book value (as per Edmunds) on my trade in. What??? When I said to forget the trade in and asked if that was their best price on the used car-- they only seemed interested in getting me to price a new car. I walked. But not until they had wasted about 2 hours of my time...and left me vowing to never shop with them again. What options do I have???? I liked the car/model but can't imagine giving business to slimy people like that....

we'll in hawaii in two weeks. for any past cruiser-- what were the top excursions and/or ship activities for children? Ours are 9 yrs (boy) and 6 yrs (girl). thanks!
