I don't know if this is irrelevant but Toyota Dealers seems to be helping

their customers a lot better than HONDA dealers do.. well that is at least

to my experiences while I owned my 2001 Celica and all of other bunch

of friends that owned 7th Gens. I don't know why Honda dealers should

be any different than Toyotas, after all HONDA does sell in huge volumes

just like Toyotas do... HONDA seems to be forgetting the simple principle

in services industry "CUSTOMER IS THE KING" deal...


Like I said in prior post, you do what you gotta do and best of luck to

you. Eventually you both will reach an end where you both agree to

something reasonable.

 

Guess you got taken in by the "certified used car" hype. All that really means is you get an extended powertrain warranty. And yet, people are willing to pay a lot of extra money for it.

 

In CA you can sign and pay for a vehicle, but until you take it off the lot it's not a done deal, you have up until that point in the deal to change your mind. I know this isn't worth much now, but for future reference.

If you already have the new bumper try to get them to comp you a few bucks and pay to have it painted.

When you have time put a big decal saying "don't do business with honda of XXXX and salesperson XXXX", mail them a few pix of you driving around. That will help sway things in your dirrection hopefully.

good luck.
