The finance rate quoted is only an estimate and does not reflect the rate to which you are qualified. All payments are estimated and subject to credit approval. Estimated monthly payment will depend on the vehicle make and model and will be determined upon actual vehicle inspection. By then, I was sick of them and just said I didn't even want to hear it.Prices do not include government fees and taxes, any finance charges, any dealer document processing charge, any electronic filing charge, and any emission testing charge. No less then 30 minutes after I walked out, the internet sales rep called me to say he had a better offer. Unfortunately, the negotiations just went back and forth until I just gave up and walked out. I told they that I expected a certain price because my friend had just purchased a similar car from another dealer. The day I went in for the purchase, I was confronted by the same old sales tactics of having the sales rep present me a price (which was high). Since Elk Grove Honda was closer to my home, I really wanted to purchase the vehicle from them. Luckily, I shopped around and obtained a few more quotes. Right then, I should have stopped because he wasn't even starting off with his lowest quote. When I confronted him that I had a lower quote, he immediately lowered his quote. I started with the internet sales rep for a quote.
I tried to purchase a car from Elk Grove Honda only to confront the old school sales tactics. After a long test drive (they allowed it to be quite long so I could test out the VCM system at a variety of speeds), I was satisfied and happy with the purchase. I could have probably negotiated the price lower, but I figured their offer was fair and I wanted to be fair in return. I knew I couldn't get it for 2008 prices, as the 2009's had just arrived, but Don and the internet manager were able to take about $2500 off of sticker, which I figured was very fair. None of the remaining 2008's were in this color. At our request, it was immediately removed and after just a little dickering, a fair price was arrived at.Īs for the Accord, I initially contacted the internet manager about the outgoing 2008's, but there in the showroom was a beautiful 2009 in the Pearl White which I coveted. When we came in for a test drive, I noticed a dealer mark up of, if I recall, about a thousand dollars, over MSRP. We asked to be called when a red one was in stock, which they did. Fits, being high mileage cars and of limited availability, are often going for prices significantly above sticker. Being an avid reader of the forums, I was pretty aware of what prices were being paid for the vehicles and, in each instance, there was really no back and forth negotiations. In both instances, Don, my salesperson, never was pushy and made every effort to make the buying experience a good one. I have purchased two Honda's from Elk Grove Honda in the last couple of months, a Fit S and an V6 EX-L Accord. Overall, this was a great car buying experience for me, and I would recommend the dealer to everyone! They did have three on the lot, but they were hard to keep in stock (apparently). For example, I was also interested in purchasing a Fit. The only con I can think of is that there weren't massive amounts of cars on the lot. Although I wound-up not buying the extended warranty, it was offered at a reasonable price, too. Although buying a Honda may cost a little more initially, the warranty makes the overall cost of ownership much cheaper than other cars because it covers so much.
2017 ELK GROVE HONDA PLUS
The biggest plus about the car is the warranty. Barbara in the sales office was also very nice and courteous, answering all my questions thoroughly. When it came time to talk about my trade-in, I was given a fair price. When it came time to talk about financing, I was provided with a list of options in a relatively quick time. The car I eventually bought was sold at the exact price in the newspaper, without any haggling or shenanigans. By far, Elk Grove Honda provided the friendliest customer service of any dealership in the area.
When we went back for a test drive, a few days later, he met us in the parking lot on time, with keys in hand. He was friendly, informed, and not too pushy. at Elk Grove Honda was definitely the nicest and most informed salesperson I met during that experience. I looked at the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Nissan Versa, Ford Focus and Chevy Cobalt, keeping in mind that my trade-in was 7 years old and was due for its maintenance, etc. A week ago, I went to five different dealerships around the Sacramento area to buy a new car.
