Replying to: jet10000 (Sep 11, 2008 2:17 pm) Amen. It is not Saccucci that is "damaging the brand" as the article states. It is American Honda trying to strong arm a small dealer who has found a way to expand their reach nationwide that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I pray Honda looses and I hope someone at the corporate office is reading this. Shame on them. It is looking more and more like a Maxima for me. Let American Honda keep their Accord. late edit The end of the article is missing from the OP. The article goes on to state only 1% of contracts are sold online. The other 99% are still sold in dealerships. (and Honda is fighting this???) Some dealer in Highland Park, IL complains that if there are issues or misunderstandings, the local dealer's integrity is in question as they have to explain a sale that they never participated in. Other dealers say that online sales are damaging relations between dealers and customers who felt they were being ripped off by dealers who sold inhouse at a higher cost. (gee, I wonder why judging by the 100% markups some have reported in this forum. I'm all for a dealer making money, but good grief. A couple hundred is one thing, but a grand+ over cost --wow!)

Replying to: traindriver (Sep 11, 2008 8:36 pm) They could avoid this entire debocle by just fixing the price - but that would prevent unscrupulous dealers from taking advantage of ill informed buyers with their check books out on the table. |

Replying to: joconnor (Sep 11, 2008 10:57 am) Saccucci Honda vs Honda of America Latest News by joconnor I concurr with jet10000, great post j . Our contributor gardinerr should be pleased as well. Not only free publicity but very informative. Apple cheeked ? Who knew? Glad to see this forum tilt once again to uniformity with other Edmunds forums and again provide a service for those who need helpful information. As always, to purchase or not a personal choice but never pay retail. |

Replying to: mitzij (Sep 18, 2008 4:47 am) " The only contract I would ever recommend would be one that is backed by, even if only tangentally-as in HondaCare-by the manufacturer. " I knew we could agree !, though financially sound Warranty Direct's product offers less protection and a higher price than the online sellers of HC EW. Go with the manufacturer product. I |

I would like to get a warranty that goes till 120,000 or 150,000. Dealer is quoting upward of $1600 for the 120k warranty, and 1099 for a 5/100k warranty. I am new to this forum, so would appreciate tips on negotiating with the dealer. I would prefer to buy it from the dealer itself for various reasons.
