We
bought a Honda Pilot from Lucas Honda after visiting other dealers and having to put up with
juvenile sales pressure from individuals who were unfamiliar
with their product and its pricing, we solicited quotes over
the internet. Jim MacDonald from Lucas Honda contacted us
promptly. I e-mailed him back with our specifications for
the car and requested an "out the door" quote. He again
responded promptly with the quote.
The other dealers' comments made me suspicious. They came back with prices
they said included the price of the car and tax. I couldn't
get out of them whether or not any dealer prep and fees for
getting license plates were included. (I've been burned in
the past with add-ons
after the
price has been agreed to).
We decided to go with Lucas. The purchasing experience was
the best we have ever had with a car dealer. The price Jim
quoted over the internet was the price on the contract--no
surprises--no attempts to scam us with hidden "prep" charges
and "document fees". The car we wanted was not in their
inventory. Jim said it would take about a week for him to
get it. He called back in five days and said the car was in.
Professionalism, honesty and
no hidden add-on
charges after the price was quoted.
