Good dealer for sales around Derry, NH

[shortlid]

My wife and I are looking to get into a used CRV SE or Pilot EX-L. Anyone know a a good stealership in the area for sales? Bot Rokingham down teh road and Autofair seem to have poor ratings from memebers.

I deal with Dover Honda, part of Autoworld, and I know a few that have bought from Honda Barn in Stratham and say good things about them too. Probably its more important after the sale if you intend to return for service. Good luck.

So we've purchased 2 Hondas from AutoFair, and 2 from Peters in Nashua over the last few years. I've dealt more with Peters than AutoFair, and their service is pretty decent - and we got decent deals when buying our vehicles - but these were for new ones, not used. Part of your issue will be finding the vehicle you want on a dealer's used lot, and that many times will dictate your decision. But as the earlier reply stated, you also have to decide whether you'll be using this dealer for service after the sale - especially if you find a certified used vehicle. Another dealer to keep in mind in terms of service is Sunnyside Acura - they've got trained Acura techs, so service for Hondas would be something they'd be competent in (and my past experiences with Sunnyside have been good) - so if they have a used Honda on their lot I'd give them a try as well.

Autofair is an odd-bird - they changed ownership after we bought our last 2 Hondas from them (back in 2004), and I don't have any recent experiences. I will say that the 2 Ford products we own, I use AutoFair Ford for serviced - they're pretty good for that - but can't say whether that's true with the Honda service in that building...

Check out Boch Honda (MA) Weekly Promotion if you don't mind to drive longer distance. I would also try take extra 500 more off the special price. Price is low and bigger choice.

Example 05 EX AWD Pilot 32,000 miles at 13,888

Thanks for the great info! Peters has very high prices on used vechilses. Sunnyside is a good dealer and there used center is nice as well. Will check out a Mass dealers as well.

Do Mass dealers charge sales tax to NH residents?

Of course not if you register the car in NH plate and address. This is the gray area that lots of Mass residents use their NH friends and relatives addresses to register the car in order to avoid paying sale tax and also for cheaper insurance prem. Same as folks use dealer and repair plates in their daily use cars if they can find one.
