Check with hondacuraworld.com for actual cost on accessories before you buy more beach front property in Florida. "Cost" in the sales department is much higher than actual dealer cost. Compare the sales manager's prices with hondacuraworld.com and you'll see what I mean.

Absolutely PJ27... Jerry is right about the sales dept cost. The Sales Dept cost is actual MSRP. The Sales Dept 'buys' from the Parts Dept at the same 'cost' as what you & I would pay ourchasing straight from the Parts Dept. Speaking from experience here. Picking up my $600.00 check today from dealer that sucked me into THAT hustle! BEWARE!

Forgot to add...

The Silver is a great color! It's a nice 'bright' silver. Very classy and clean looking. You'll be happy with it!

Well, our ordeal may finally be over. We had to sacrifice though. No, I'm not paying over MSRP. One week to go!

PJ -

That's great news man........so you're still staying with Kolbe? That's good......did you talk to Larry or Steve Whittington? Sounds like they really wanted to correct Shamoo's mistakes....

So the countdown continues......

Keep us posted.

Everytime I come to this post, I expect to find lyrics to a country music song.

Gordo · 10-08-2002, 10:25 AM

I found the lyrics on a different thread:

The Ballad of PJ27

You think it's funny, I think it's a sin
I bargained and dealed but wasn't given a VIN
What you don't think about, what you don't realize
A few salesman are greedy, they tell nothing but lies
Just wanted my Pilot. Oh, can't you see
But I won't pay a penny over MSRP!
You think it's funny, I think it's wrong
My salesman was fired, my Pilot is gone!

PJ27 · 10-08-2002, 12:18 PM

Gordo, you're too funny. That rhyme is great.

Jason, I'm dealing with Larry directly but I have talked to Steve W.

I'll ask the managers regarding accesory cost. If their cost is more than retail or whatever I can get online, then I won't get them from the dealer. They do seem deeply apologetic so I'll at least hear what their price is. I haven't told them I'd buy anything yet.

OMG! Too funny!

My dealership thought my Pilot ws coming in sooner than it did. I sold my car in the meantime based on the delivery date. They gave me a loaner to use. It's worth asking for....
Good Luck!

To settle the mess on a Vin number. When you order a Honda, you get an order/routing number first. Then Honda will give the dealer the build dates on that vehicle with that order number. Usually it's a 5 day spread. THE DAY they build your vehicle they assign a Vin number to that unit. It goes through the factory and goes out to the parking lot. Then the transportation department takes over. It is then listed as a vin # and in transit. About 1-2 days before it hits the dealer, it shows as being in the dealers stock.

Every Honda dealer in America has access to this information on what's called the HIN...Honda Interactive Network.

I make sure every one of my customers know about their vehicle, where it is and when we expect it, we of cours have no control over the West Coast parts shortage that affected every Honda plant in America/Canada for 2-3 days this month, or transportation. But I do keep my customers informed.

As far as the parts issue, if you buy from me, you get MY COST that I get parts for. Not retail price, but our cost. We extend that to all our buying customers, if you come in and buy elsewhere, you pay full retail with no breaks on price. I am putting accessories on my car and am paying our cost as a dealership on them, yes I can order cheaper, but service puts them on and I work here, so I buy here and stay away from aftermarket which is not covered by Honda warranty.
