I dunno, I didn't really care. I knew it was a joke.

Ask Mitch about when he got his white NSX some time.... I think it was a Schaumburg dealer (Hummer?)

Bad time?

Hah - I would have done the same. That's a freaking 20% markup on a vehicle that already has roughly a 10% markup.

He didn't quite understand that it wasn't a very good car for $24,000... great value for $20,000, but not so much when you jack the price up.

Oh yeah... Like 6 hours to do the paperwork and get the keys... and some of the other people were waiting LONGER. Quite funny, actually.

I agree 100%. While the Civic Si is a great car, it's definitely not worth $24k.

Holy crap - that's terrible.

If I'm not in & out within 3 hours.. including finding vehicle, test drive, negotiating, and signing the paperwork - I'm frustrated.

It was probably Schaumburg Honda. It is down the street from a Hummer dealership. I actually bought my S2000 there.

It took at least that long when we bought my Niece's Fit, but part of that was the fact that she was 1 month away from turning 18 at the time, so they had a hard time getting the paperwork through.
