Paragon Acura

Worse experience by far. Spent 2 hours trying to get a lease on 2010TSX with tech. package. Started out good, got the test drive out of the way. Thats when all the fun started. Marvin and other sales lease on 2010TSX with tech. package. Started out good, got the test drive out of the way. Thats when all the fun started. Marvin and other sales people at the dealership love to go talk to their "managers" every time he went there he would disappear for 15 minutes at a time. So first time he leaves, comes back later and gives me a crazy lease numbers. So I play along and explain to him that this is not the first dealership that I visited. I also give him my color options. He leaves again, comes back 15 minutes later and starts asking me "What can we do to make this happen today" at this I told him what would make me get the car today which was a very reasonable number. He makes me initial a piece of paper so that "he can take it to his GM and tell him that I actually intend to do this today". This is the stupidest thing I ever seen. I play along and do it. then he asks me to give him credit card and my driver license :). again very stupid thing to do. He comes back 10 minutes later and and tells me that GM accepted my offer and we can proceed. He tells me that he has black and black car available and I can drive out in a new car today. That's when things went from bad to worse. Turns out according to him "we only have 2 cars in stock. One black and 1 white). I ask him to show me the black one. He takes me outside and shows me the same car that I test drove. I told him that I will not take a used car. He proceeded to convince me that its a new car and the lies started. First he tells me that nobody else drove the car except me. its still brand new and he tells me that it only has 12 miles on it. Problem with this is that I negotiated pricing on a new car, not a test drive car. I proceed to tell him that and I tell him that I will consider it if he adjusts the price. He leaves again, comes back and says "great news, GM agreed and we will take $100 off the out of pocket cost." then he proceeds to tell me that car with 12 miles on it is brand new and there will be no problems. he also tells me that he will give me a receipt so i can come back on Monday and get the car detailed because it was covered in spots since it was parked outside. That means that I have to drive 20 miles each way to the dealership on Monday to get something done that should be done before the car gets to me. At that point I go outside to inspect it and I ask him to show me the mileage. he starts the car and tells me that car has 26 miles. At this point I get pretty upset since this is lie number 3 in a span of half an hour. 26 miles on a test drive car is a lot and I know how people treat the test drive cars they drive. everybody pushes it to the max to see what it can do. I'm one of those people. So I call him out on his lies and tell him that the price needs to go even lower. Of course I gave him choices. option one was to find me brand new car in my color and I would pay the price negotiated. I take this car and you lower the price since its used and he lied to me. At that point he leaves again, comes back to me and tells me with straight face that "GM doesn't want to deal with me anymore". My advice is to avoid this dealership and save your self a headache. Reading other website reviews about the dealership, it looks like its filled with salespeople whose main goal is to extract as much money from you as possible with no regard for their customers.

My family and I had a very pleasant first time buying experience at Paragon Acura. Our sales person Mr. Wong was very helpful, real and did not try to sell us gimmicks! He also did a nice job of gettin experience at Paragon Acura. Our sales person Mr. Wong was very helpful, real and did not try to sell us gimmicks! He also did a nice job of getting us a good deal on our 2009 MDX. Overall, it was an easy venture, even for a first time buyer because the dealership took care of all the DMV paperwork and insurance coverage set-up. Our financial officer Jean was also very helpful and patient in explaining our financing options and giving us all possible scenarios. Our delivery assistant Ms. Deshais was funny and explained to me and my family what features the vehicle has and help us set-up a few features. The dealership was clean, easy to get to via public transportation and they had a good selection of vehicles. I rated the dealership 4.6 because overall the dealership was great with customer service, quality of work, and friendliness; with the overall experience and price, it was good because I was bombarded (every day about 3-4 times a day for about 1 week) by phone calls from the customer service department asking me how my experience was. After I took the survey once, they called again, and again, and again. I told them that I had already taken the survey and they forgot to note it in the system until finally I told the last person who called that I was very upset that they kept calling me. In regards to the price, Mr. Wong was able to work out a pretty good deal although a little less would have been better! I would highly recommend this dealership to other buyers!!! More

Work with Ellen Song after long negotiation got closer to the price I'm willing to pay. Boy to I mean long time to haggle with the price. But be sure you get your own loan rate and compare with the loan offi the price I'm willing to pay. Boy to I mean long time to haggle with the price. But be sure you get your own loan rate and compare with the loan officer. They like to xxxxxxxx about the rate like you have to install lo-jack and the bank will give you a better rate. They tried this on me by saying AHFC gave me this rate for the car if I pay extra and get the lo-jack installed and they will give me a higher one if I don't get it installed. I was lucky that my friend went through this and was able to get almost everything back from them. He called AHFC and they said it was false and the loan officer had lie to him. All of that is crap watch out for this from there loan person. Don't be con into buying anything to lower your rate like lo-jack, extended warranty,tire package etc. Know your credit and fico score you should be able to get better rates. If not get your loan somewhere else. I was lucky enough to refinance my car loan. I not sure but I think they might get a little kick back for the loan they give out. (Don’t quote me in this but be careful with the loan officer). Double check everything before you sign anything. GOOD LUCK!! More

Bait and Switch! I was looking to buy RL 2008 for a Bait and Switch! I was looking to buy RL 2008 for a reasonable price which I saw online, called to confirm it and set up a test drive in 2 hours. Th Bait and Switch! I was looking to buy RL 2008 for a reasonable price which I saw online, called to confirm it and set up a test drive in 2 hours. The middle-aged rep Arthur (the rep I talked to on the phone and confirmed the availability of the vehicle and its tech package) was very courteous and polite when he met me at the dealership so it was a nice and promising beginning. He introduced me to Vincent who was supposed to arrange test drive. Then I spent 15 minutes while he was filing out papers with my info, than he was locating the car for another 25 min. He came back to me with words: "I have a good and a bad news for you: the car was stolen from the dealership and now found all ruined, but we have another one, the same year and color and about the same mileage". I decided to take a shot, he asked me for my d/l, I test drove the vehicle which was fine, but the problem was he never returned my license back (I realized it only when I came back home). The price they asked for the vehicle was 4K more that the one I came for, although they were ready to nock off $2300 I felt I was being fooled so we didn't make a deal. All next day I spent trying to reach Vincent over the phone to get my license back, I talked to the receptionist 3 times, left 2 messages before I called and threatened to complain to her manager if she didn't put me through with the guy. Vincent first was trying to convince me that he actually returned my license but then promised to look for it and to give a call back. He never called me back. Next day I had to spend about 3 hours on visiting my DMV to get a duplicate. It was absolutely negative experience. More

I went to numerous acura dealers to find a 2010 TSX w/ a 6 sp. Apparently a tall order with the cash 4 clunkers fiasco in full force. First the the salesman joe r. was courteous, professional and jumped th 6 sp. Apparently a tall order with the cash 4 clunkers fiasco in full force. First the the salesman joe r. was courteous, professional and jumped through some hoops to get the car for me and the worked out a great deal for me- a lower price than some other dealers and immediate delivery. He was very patient, polite, and courteous. He put me good hands to work out the financing and he stayed considerably late to close the deal. So finally the deal is closed. I figured at that point- deal is done they got their money- they would kick me out and tell me to have a nice life- but then came a young lady named Wendy. She inspected the car- found out it was missing the navigation discs, she went and got them. She made sure everything worked. Then she explained in detail every single non- intuative option to me - voice commands, navigation, etc. The car has a million options in it and comes with a text book as an owners manual. She spent 45 min showing me everything and answering all of my questions in detail - and this all well after the showroom is closed. She is also very courteous, professional, and patient. She has a profound knowledge of the vehicle and equipment. Thanks to the both of you for a pleasant experience. You are both second to none. Thanks -Robert Purchased TSX 8/20/09 More

Mark Ma was courteous and helpful but did not follow up on my request for more information about his cars. He also did not call to follow up when Paragon received more cars that met my criteria (I saw the on my request for more information about his cars.

I feel that he wanted to sell a car the day I was there and didn't really care once I walked out the door. More

I just trade in my Lexus RX350 for a MDX at Paragon today. And I know Freddie for quite a long time, he is a truly fantastic person! Professional and friendly. Not because he work as a sales and wants today. And I know Freddie for quite a long time, he is a truly fantastic person! Professional and friendly. Not because he work as a sales and wants to get your business, his kindness and willing to help really impressed me. He helped me to close a deal on Aug 17th, and I have the car 2 days later. Although, I didn't get the white I like, but I am still happy with my decision. Really don't want shop around in different dealer, I think you all have the experience with sale peoples. Yeah, I've read other peoples' feed backs here. But hey, you never can make everyone satisfied. I also went to Paragon Honda just next door to check the Pilot, but not only the sales are lousy but also the managers. You should see their attitude when you ask them questions, I guess the CARS program give them plenty fish to chose. And I don't even want to bother myself to rate their service as complaint. Anyway, Overall I am like Paragon Acura, it's the level of the reputation of the Brand name. Just like Lexus, Benz, and BMW, the showroom is pretty neat, the people works there are well knowledge and trained. Almost everyone is very kind to you, they have patient and positive solutions. Again, I'd like to say thank you to Sales Manager: Freddie, Derrick, Ellen; Service Manager: Wendy; Finance Manager: James. Thank you for all your time to have me. I'll absolutely back again, and recommend you to my friends!!! More

My experience at Paragon Acura went better than I expected. The salesman Mark Ma is a true professional and I can only hope that any future customers can experience what I did. The moment I set foo expected. The salesman Mark Ma is a true professional and I can only hope that any future customers can experience what I did. The moment I set foot in the door I was met with courtesy, professionalism and respect. I was able to take time and really go over any details & questions I had. The salesperson is on top of his game and is not your typical car salesman. He is not pushy, over the top and impatient. Rather Mark is able to guide with dilligence and patience. I was able to get the vechicle I desired and I am extremely satisfied. The finance mananger Mike Francis is excellent. Overall the experience was delightful and more importantly the car is great. I thank Paragon Acura for displaying true professionalism. The car they sold is great and our family is delighted and excited for our new car. We are looking forward to enjoying the new Acura RDX.
