Great SE Michigan Dealer - Honda Pilot

a2Pilot · 06-26-2002, 11:29 AM

We purchased our Evergreen Pearl EX from Howard Cooper Honda in Ann Arbor, MI.

Taylor Glasenapp is our salesperson, and he handled the entire transaction wonderfully.

I placed a $300 deposit in January, first person on "The List". I had seen it at the Detroit Auto Show, and loved it. We had been considering an MDX, but didn't realy want all the high end features. I think he thought I was nuts!

Nobody at the Dealership knew much about the Pilot at that time, other than it would most likely be available some time this summer.

Over the next several months Taylor and I exchanged information as it became available. I think it was in May that he called, and asked what trim level and color we wanted. They could order a couple, and one was for us.

In the end, it arrived at the Dealer on Friday, May 31st. We completed all the paperwork at home that evening, and returned to the dealership Saturday morning to pick it up.

We payed MSRP. No Hassles. No extra fees. No unwanted accessories.

They also sell VW, Audi & Porsche. We have our A4 serviced there, and the service department is incredable.

I recommend Howard Cooper Import Center to anyone in the region.

We are leasing our Pilot from Bud Kouts Honda in East Lansing, MI. This is my second Honda from them and my 4th vehicle from the Bud Kouts Co. (they also operate a GM dealership).

Great service and honest folks. Nobody is going to cut their throat to give you a deal, but I did get my Havasu Blue Pilot EX at $500 below MSRP and the mud flaps were thrown in to boot!

I have known various people involved with this dealership personally for a long time. I am a teacher/coach and I have had some of their kids in class and on my teams. They are honest and fair with customers. The service department is first rate.

Darn--

I should driven to Lansing from Chicago and saved a few $$. Besides, I need an excuse to visit the campus and tip a few at the watering holes I frequented so often in my "youth".

Sounds like you have a good relationship with the Kouts folks. Congrats.
