Thumbs down Honda of Corona, CA

Me and my mom went in on a Friday Night to look for an 09 Red fit, that was the color she wanted. So we were calling trying to find a dealer that had a red one. So my mom called Corona Honda and they said they just got one. Before we left our home to go check it out I told my mom let me call them one more time to make sure they have one because they might be lying just to get us to come in. Again they said they did.

Sure enough when we got there the first thing the guy says is we don't have the red one but we have a color like it. He said, "Let me pull it up for you." It was the orange one. Then he was trying to sell the car to us with a $1,900 markup. He was telling us that we were looking at a $500+ monthly payment. I said hold on... let's not talk about monthly payment. First tell me at what price are you selling the car to me for... he said $19,000 sumething.

We left end of story. Don't get your car here... and come to think of it we were the only ones there. I guess the word spreads if you a bad dealership. So I hope the word spreads in this forum about Honda of Corona.

Good job keeping your mom from being pushed into making a mistake, Mike.
