I know people hate long reviews, so the short story is that this dealership tried to sell me a car that had multiple issues. ISSUES THAT EVEN THEY WERENT AWARE OF (PICTURES PROVIDED BELOW). please read my experience, it is worth the read.
On July 18th, 2020, I went in with anticipation to purchase the 2017 Honda Civic Si Coupe in the color blue. WARNING: DO NOT BUY THAT VEHICLE.
First, the sales man, Matthew, had a nonchalant attitude and was unaware about the vehicle and it's issues that it came with even though he was the one that called me telling me to come in and see the vehicle.
Once I turned on the car, the traction control light was on and it couldn't be turned off and the tire pressure sensor was on, and the car said "drive carefully, systems are initializing" even though the car was on for more than 10 minutes..
Meanwhile, my girlfriend noticed that there was a huge scratch on the rear passenger side and few minor dents throughout the vehicle and there was no spare tire. There was also a hole on the carpet mat on the driver side. There was also a leak.
We went inside to talk about the car. Right away, Matthew wanted to talk about financing without reassuring us about the car issues and he didn't even offer a test drive.
There was tension because he was nonchalant about the car problems and was extremely dismissive giving false reassurance that the car would get fixed TODAY, only to find out their mechanic was off on Saturdays
Eventually he brought out his manager, who was a nice guy to say the least. He said all the sensors will go away once I drove the car, so I asked for a test drive. Only to find MORE issues with this vehicle.
When I drove the car, the brakes sounded extremely loud.
SEE BELOW FOR THE ISSUES THAT CAME UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR:
1. Tire pressure monitor problem
2. Brake system problem
3. brake hold system problem
4. power steeling problem
5. vehicle stability assist problem,
6. hill start assist problem.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST
7. SPORT MODE WAS UNAVAILABLE!!!!!!!! on an SI trim?!?
I Immediately drove the car back to the dealership and addressed the issues to the manager. He was speechless, didn't know what to say. While another car sales man was parking the car, I told him "he shouldn't be parking that car back in the lot, it should be parked in the mechanic's garage"
A lot of red flags, from the looks of the dealership itself, nobody wearing face masks except for the manager, the attitude of the sales man, the missing spare tire and the MULTIPLE car problems.
Please beware and cautious of these people, they're the reasons why dealerships have a bad name. read more
