I finished my research of Mini-vans and the Odyssey was the winner. I priced several dealerships around the Orlando area. They were pushy and did not listen to my needs. I drove to Headquarter Honda with n More

Dear Orlando_Buyer, I believe you are the gentleman I called earlier today. I am sorry that I've just now seeing posts on DealerRater for this week and saw yours from Tuesday. I again apologize for my delay in response back from our conversation at the beginning of September. I was unavailable for work a few days and got very behind. I’ve requested the file from our off-site documentation house. I have requested it again; today after review all my open issues. I hope to have these documents by early next week and be able to review and talk with you. I thank you ahead for your patience. I strive and usually resolve all issue with 2-3 days.

Gayle, Your dealership has had plenty of time, how much longer does a RECENT customer have to wait for an answer?

Headquarter Honda responded

Dear Carlos, I received the documents yesterday and have reviewed them. However, due to privacy laws I can not review the details with you even through you were the person that called me. Only your wife’s name appears on the documentation and I can only discuss with her. Please let me know the best day and time I can call the house.

orlando_buyer responded

Hello Gayle, It's been exactly 1.5 weeks since your awaited call. You promised to speak with your boss, and obviously no contact from you whatsoever. I can't understand why people say they will do things, and fall back on their promise. Your lack of communication and the unprofessionalism, and unethical behavior of your dealership has proven the type of dealership that place is. Your silence says it all.

Oct 27, 2010 -

Headquarter Honda responded

Hello, Carlos and Stacey, So sorry - you right. I made a call to American Honda Financial and was waiting for them to call me back (which was yesterday) and time got a way from me. I was unable to call you back yesterday. I have answers for you! I left a hurried message at you # - sorry if there are hang ups - we have phone problems. Please call me at 407-395-7365. I will be in a meeting from 11:30 to 1:30 today. Gayle

orlando_buyer responded

Hi Gayle, It has been another (1) week since we last spoke...do you have a resolve to this.? Carlos

Nov 05, 2010 -

Headquarter Honda responded

Carlos, I know you’re a man of principal and thought that our offer of $59.50 was not principal and you did not want it. I have to say after re-reading all the emails at least once a day for the past week – I agree with you on that point. However, I do not see anywhere in the correspondence to our dealership about applying only a $100 for title/tags and that no monies were to be applied to the Capitalized Cost Reduction and a new contract should be executed. As we have discussed, you wanted to put $225.00 towards the initial title/registrations fee and none to Capitalized Cost Reduction. In principle, let’s agree that we either did that on day of delivery or a corrected contract to reflect those facts. The total fee determined and required by the State of Florida was $229.00 and paid. You would have still owed us $4.00. We would have still called you to inform you that you new registration and tag were in and $4.00 was due to us. On principal, you would have to come in and pay the $4.00 and receive those items.

Nov 06, 2010 -

orlando_buyer responded

Gayle, These are the facts: • The handshake deal with Stave Walsh and Robert Echevarria, to include the little paper they made us sign showing our monthly payment out the door with down payment was the deal. No other monies were to come out of our pocket. There was NO conversation between my wife and I, with Steve or Robert telling them/authorizing them, or anyone else to apply ANY of these monies toward cap cost reduction, Non-What-So-Ever. Our down payment was Strictly to be used for 1st months payment of $455, and $413 for Any and All TTL. • Your dealership made us sign another paper Stating that Your dealer did not owe us anything when they made us sign papers and took our money., when in fact this paper was Illegal to sign, as YES---your dealer owed us something, it’s called our Registration. • You called me stating “That your dealership screwed up on the deal, and did not honor the fact that your dealer was wrong charging me an extra $119.00 for a TAG Transfer that I had already paid $413.00 for, and you also mentioned that YES it was wrong for the dealer to want me to split the $119 screw up with them” How is that FAIR to a customer, “To Share in the Blame for someone else’s mistake?”, Again,?> There was NO conversation between my wife and I, with Steve or Robert telling them to apply ANY of these monies toward cap cost reduction, Non-What-So-Ever. Remember, I gave HQ Honda a total of $868 down, $455/1st months payment, and $413 toward TTL. No other monies were to come from us, that’s the DEAL we all shook hands on. • When you say below (Gayle said: However, I do not see anywhere in the correspondence to our dealership about applying only a $100 for title/tags and that no monies were to be applied to the Capitalized Cost Reduction and a new contract should be executed. ) What is this language? Do not put your words in my mouth, you are starting to twist things, read my bullets up higher, Once again, read the original deal we had signed with Steve and Robert. Gayle, with all due respect, you are beating a Dead-Horse here, you have already stated to me during our last conversation “That your dealer messed up” you guys need to come clean, this is a wrong way to do business. I thought we had a Fair deal with you guys? Carlos

Nov 08, 2010 -

Headquarter Honda responded

Carlos, you are right, this is a very dead horse. I am not twisting your words nor am I any longer going to mince/restate them. Yes, we should have done the deal the way you requested, we did not, we erred. However, as a sign of good will, we offered you half of the $119.00, you refused. Regardless, either way, you would have still owed an additional $4.00 per the State of Florida. I am sorry you do not feel we’ve come clean --- I thought I had stated/written it.

Nov 08, 2010 -

orlando_buyer responded

Gayle, What you stated in your email below about what we had agreed to is totally FALSE, and Un-True, (Gayle says: (1) However, I do not see anywhere in the correspondence to our dealership about applying only a $100 for title/tags and that no monies were to be applied to the Capitalized Cost Reduction and a new contract should be executed. (2) As we have discussed, you wanted to put $225.00 towards the initial title/registrations fee and none to Capitalized Cost Reduction. In principle, let’s agree that we either did that on day of delivery or a corrected contract to reflect those facts. The total fee determined and required by the State of Florida was $229.00 and paid. You would have still owed us $4.00. We would have still called you to inform you that you new registration and tag were in and $4.00 was due to us. On principal, you would have to come in and pay the $4.00 and receive those items. ) You and I NEVER talked about us putting $225 toward anything or anything else you are stating, obviously this is another way to twist things around and not come clean with your customer. We had NEVER agreed to the Ridiculous statements you’re making that you and I agreed to. Obviously that’s another way you and your dealer seems to play games with customers. And Now, you are wanting us, your customer to split the mistake with your Finance manager Tony Angle, as if we are to be blamed. UNBELIEVABLE…!!! It’s ok, my Lease will end in 2.5 years, and I will have to turn this car in to Honda, I have to eventually get another car/van. ….what dealer do you think I’ll be purchasing from? Carlos
