Tsk tsk... Lowell in high A. Portland is AA for the Sox.
 
We go right through Lowell (and I think Dracut) on the way up.
 
I forgot - there's a AA team in Norwich, CT as well.

Fezo,
 
You are probably going I-495 North to Rt. 125... I know that area. I-495 will bring you through Lowell...
 
Br,
 
Correct me if I am wrong... Canton is South West of Springfield?

Got it! Replied...
 
May have to look at the Mapquest but I think I'm enough away that you might not want a couple of six year olds on a Saturday anyway....

I don't see anything in your post that resembles poor customer service or dis-respect on their part towards you. They wouldn't meet your price, which is a price that you feel other Honda dealers are willing to meet, and you took it personal. Just walk out and go to another dealer that you feel will do business with you on your terms. We're not talking rocket science here.
 
For every vehicle I've bought, I've rarely bought at the first place I tried. I just moved on the next place.

Yeah Canton is between one hour and 45 minutes south west of Springfield. If you know all the short cuts and the traffic is just right you can make the trip in a little less then 45 minutes.

Ah! So THAT'S where you are!
 
OK, a little out of the way.... If I didn't have the wife and three out of four kids.....
 
You'd have a fun lot to look at!
 
Right now I'm fighting looking at what a local lot wants on a 2004 Volvo C70 HPT convertible. Nice looking car and I'm a sucker for nice convertibles.... And one with Volvo seats yet!

So let me get this straight...
 
1. You offered a price (A price I think is unreasonable on a brand new redesigned model but thats neither here nor there)
2. They declined the offer.
3. You pressured them to accept it.
4. The salesman said he would talk to the manager again which does sometimes work.
5. You got up and left in the middle of negotiations without waiting for the salesman to return.
 
Sounds like you were the disrespectful person. I would find it disrespectful for someone to just leave in the middle of a deal without saying something to me.
 
If other Honda dealers are offering the price go to the other Honda dealer. Its not like there is a shortage of Honda dealers out there.

What are they asking for it and what are the miles.
 
I have a 2004 C70 HPT as well...
 
I also have a manual transmission HPT coming.

It's got 33,500 on it. They want $19,995 (could be worse - they could want $20,000...).
 
Unfortunately I can't link it directly but if you go to Manahawkin Auto Sales and just search the convertibles.
 
I'm not sure how this guy stays in business at times. He's had an Outback that's been on the lot for two years! Normally has a couple BMW convertibles (as he does now) - always overpriced and with automatics. At least a Volvo with an automatic I can live with.
 
Do realize I just bought the Celica to have a convertible and am pretty much window shopping. I have shown I can crack under pressure though....
 
As soon as Craig sees this he;ll go, "Steve! Not a Volvo!..."
