| What accessories or protection packages did they require you to purchase and how much did they charge you? | Mandatory Accessory package of $2,900 is added to all vehicles on the lot and inbound as the sales manager says they don't waive this. I went with my neighbor's wife to buy this vehicle five days ago and would NOT recommend this Honda dealership in the Jacksonville, FL area to anyone looking to purchase a new Honda. After 2 1/2 hours of me knocking heads with the salesperson and his sales manager, my neighbor was exhausted and threw in the towel and agreed to a $500 mark-up for window tint, mud guards, all weather floor mats in all three rows, nitrogen, and leather seat protection. I told her to get up and leave with me and she just didn't want the process to go on any longer as she made the mistake of mentioning a trip to Tallahassee she was going on the next day for her daughter's soccer team that she wanted the new vehicle for. At that point, I knew we were not going to get any further with the sales manager. She is happy with her new mini-van so that is what matters most, not what I think. I just would have gotten up and left the dealer and let them follow us out or call us ten minutes later to try to save her another $500, or at least something else off the accessory package. Anyway, I did not care for the sales process here and would not recommend this Honda dealer for any new vehicle sale. |

| Is there anything else you want to share with us about this dealership? | The deal was for MSRP ($41,330) plus $500 with the accessories previously mentioned plus $899 for the FL Doc Fee, plus $55 for their electronic filing fee, plus 6.5% sales tax, plus $225 to transfer her tag on an old Honda van she sold privately for $3,200 as the dealer said $1,000 for her trade at most (2002 Honda Odyssey with 207k miles on it). She was OTD at $45,600. Note the dealer first wanted $603 to transfer her FL tag and I was able to get them down to $225 (I was trying for $150 but came up short). This dealer's fee to do a FL tag transfer is egregious as well as their $2,900 accessory package so be careful here and be ready for hours of negotiating if you want a fair deal in today's auto buying climate. |
