Replying to: sccrzeus (Aug 04, 2005 11:26 am) Wow, reading your post just elevated my blood pressure. Sccrzeus, I commend you on not "going postal" during your experience, and having the discipline to factually present your experience for us DFW readers in this forum. Your post should be required reading for auto sales managers everywhere. Unfortunately, I don't think for a minute this approach is unique to Vandergriff. I've personally had a similar bad experience at a John Eagle dealership (which you apparently liked) two years ago: I wasted three painful hours of my life there that I'll never get back, and I haven't set foot in any dealership since.   I have several genuinely serious questions, for any "insider" on this forum with the courage to tell the truth: 1) Is it clear to the auto sales management that follow these forums why the majority of people find shopping for new cars unenjoyable? 2) Is the sales approach of Vandergriff which sccrzeus described in effect a "profit-maximizing approach" employed on popular car models in high demand? 3) Do some dealerships intentionally orchestrate the sales approach like that, or did sccrzeus just simply stumble across gross ineptitude and a display of bad faith?   Seriously, I want an '05 Ody, but I think I'll just hold onto my nine year old car till it drops dead. Who needs this aggravation anyway?     - zebra5 Replies to this message: looking4honda (Aug 05, 2005 11:53 pm)

TWICE, i had the odyssey(s) confirmed with price, vin#, and other details but both dealers sold both minivans when i arrived at the dealership. This is in Southern California in the South Bay area. I'll post the dealer names after I file a complaint with the BBB and a letter to the attorney general because i am totally upset with their actions.
#10318 of 24379 2005 Ody with RES: Southern California by jackyban Aug 06, 2005 (5:52 am)
Folks,   Thank you all for your posts as you have guided me to a great deal and now I am sharing my experience.   I helped my sister acquired her Slate Green EXL with RES at Spirit Honda in southern california for the following price:   $30,200: This price includes CrossBar, 3rd row sunshade, mudguard, wheel lock, and your standard floor mats. Do what you will with this information to get what YOU want because it basically boils down to getting the color you want and how soon you want the vehicle. I basically time this just right as they are leaving with the van on a trip this fine Saturday morning.   My advice is you still need to get a list of the dealers you need to call to negotiate for the vehicle that you are looking for. I found that when you do mass emails from site like Edmunds, most dealers would just tell you to call them back anyways. I just went down the list and call their 800 numbers, ask if they have the color i want, and then I get down to the deal.   thank you all again....Good luck in your hunt and I am sure most will land even better deals than this.

Replying to: needaminivan2 (Aug 05, 2005 12:52 pm) That's because nobody has any Odysseys to sell you! Inventory is down to nothing.

Replying to: needaminivan2 (Aug 05, 2005 12:52 pm) Try Discovery Honda at Moses Lake, Internet Department. I bought the car a week ago and at that time, he said that he'd be willing to give the same deal to anyone else, subject to availability. You can mention that I had bought a car from him last weekend for 750 over invoice and that I referred you.

Replying to: roastboar (Aug 06, 2005 6:36 am) "Subject to availability"   That's the problem. Inventories are down to almost nothing. The small dealers must REALLY be out. Replies to this message: cccompson (Aug 06, 2005 4:59 pm)

Replying to: isellhondas (Aug 06, 2005 12:31 pm) I've been on two lots here in Columbus this week and there are plenty of Odysseys available.   Maybe that's why prices in Ohio have been about the best in the country.
