Honda of Staten Island

It was a great place and Anthony Russo was a great guy no games and gave you a fare deal. All the people there were very friendly and helpful. They tell you anything you wanted to know about the car or tru games and gave you a fare deal. All the people there were very friendly and helpful. They tell you anything you wanted to know about the car or truck if you asked or didn't ask. doing all the paper work was face not like some other dealers. I came from Long Island to buy a Honda there. To me it was worth it. More

This was the third auto leased from this dealer. The salesman was very professional. Found the price good not great. The returned car was in mint condition with very low mileage. I felt that the manager salesman was very professional. Found the price good not great. The returned car was in mint condition with very low mileage. I felt that the manager should have considered this fact when deciding on the price for the 2011 model. The profit he stands to make on the sale of my returned vehicle would substantially offset any consideration extended. More

Just read fhatmanz review from 1/7/08 and just had the exact same thing happen to me. Should have read the reviews first, seems like they're still pulling the same old scam. Went to look at 2011 Honda exact same thing happen to me. Should have read the reviews first, seems like they're still pulling the same old scam. Went to look at 2011 Honda pilot for lease, initial offer was $459, we said too much we want to pay 400 for 39 month lease, after a little back and forth they said ok. WE thought wow, "good deal", "that was easy". You can pick up the car this weekend. Meet with Majic the finance officer and he tells us we did not qualify for Tier 1 credit. You need 720 to qualify and we were at 690. Which is BS we ran our credit the day before and we had a 730 score. I tell him this and pull up the Equifax report on his computer. He tells me it’s not a FICO score and that it’s not the Equifax website. Ok fine it’s not a FICO score it's an Equifax score, I'll buy that. Then he googles "Equifax" and is trying to convince me that the results coming up with equifax.com in the domain name are not Equifax’s website. Seriously??? I have a doctorate dude I know how to use google and type a web address. Anyway he then tells us that since we qualify at Tier 2 our payments will be $438. We said no way. Then he asks us if we are previous Honda owners (which we are not) because Honda finance has a lease program for previous owners 36 mon, gap insurance, lower deductible, $1500 mech coverage etc. for $427, and he will see if his GM can "call in a favor" with Honda finance since we are not previous owners. We said no thanks we want our deposit back. Ok fine, GM comes in gives us the you're saving money overall talk and will do the deal for $418. At this point it's over two hours later and my wife and I have a NOW very cranky 2-year-old with us. We said fine $415 he agrees and says ok Since he's already losing money on the deal a couple of bucks wont matter. Finance paperwork was written up in 10 minutes, he must have been quick to dial and "call in his favor" with Honda finance. After reading the other reviews which were IDENTICAL to what happened to me it is clear that this dealership has some very dishonest business practices and this wasn’t just some unfortunate event. Don't even get me started about Sansone in NJ. The world would be a much better place without dealerships and car salesmen. More

In other words: STEVE GALLO had a great "car sales manner." More
