He explained all the new features of the car and made the transition from the old leased car to the new one very easy! Definitely would recommend this dealership and sales staff More

New Car buyer completely satisfied As a first time car buyer, I was nervous to have to go to a dealership and deal with a salesman trying to charge too much, undervalue my trade-in, and As a first time car buyer, I was nervous to have to go to a dealership and deal with a salesman trying to charge too much, undervalue my trade-in, and hold me on site until I buy their product. And while some of the dealership experiences were like that, my time with Michael Malmsbury at Wilde Honda was completely the opposite. From the moment I arrived, he was nothing but reassuring and a great listener. He made me feel like I was in charge of the experience and incorporated my car needs while showing all aspects of the vehicles. Additionally, he was an expert of Honda products and even drives one himself, thus reassuring me that Honda was the right choice. He was a genuinely nice guy who defied all stereotypes of a car salesman. He made buying my first car an easy and enjoyable experience. I certainly recommend him to any potential car buyer visiting Wilde Honda! More

Michael Malmsbury, thank you for such a positive experience! My daughter was shopping for a new car and asked me to tag along. Although she had done her research, we still had to deal with the "dreaded car sale My daughter was shopping for a new car and asked me to tag along. Although she had done her research, we still had to deal with the "dreaded car sales person." We visited a few dealerships and did look at and test drive different vehicles. Upon arriving at Wilde Honda, God sent an angel to us named Michael Malmsbury. We had a wonderful experience...and not only did my daughter purchase a car...I did too! Neither of us have ever owned a Honda, but Michael knows his product and is the least pushy person you could ask for. We could not have asked for a better experience. Ashley is enjoying her new CRV and I love my new Accord. We are so thankful for Michael's knowledge, insight, advice, patience...and his gentle spirit. Thank you, Michael Malmsbury. I look forward to doing business with you again in the future. More

Happiest Birthday Surprise My daughter was in serious need of a new car.

As her mom I wanted a safe, economically sound, reliable car, We visited car dealerships, but were most impressed with Wilde Honda in Sarasota. Michael Malmsbury, Sales Representative, offered his assistance as my daughter and I looked at all the new cars. Michael listened to what was important to us in purchasing a car, offered information and details of the different cars and available options. We were most impressed with the Civic EX-T. My daughter needed to go back to school & work, during which time I let Michael know that I intended to surprise my daughter with a new car for her birthday. Michael answered all my questions and explained the details not only of the car, but also the purchase options. But, Michael also focused on my intention to surprise my daughter with her new car. He went beyond any expectation I had and drove the car to my home so that when she came home during spring break, her best birthday present ever was there as the garage door opened. Michael made sure the car was perfectly clean & shiny and even adjusted the Birthday balloon on it. Buying a new car is always exciting, but this will always be so very meaningfully memorable. Michael's dedication to customer satisfaction resulted in my daughter getting a great car and the best birthday ever, an ultimate blessing for me. Steve Himmel fully explained the financing part of our purchase. His professional expertise and patience allowed us to make the best financing decisions and finalize our purchase. Before my daughter drove off with her new car, Michael Malmsbury gave her a thorough Civic EX-T inservice. I was amazed to learn there were even more computerized features in this car. Today at work I was telling everyone what a great experience I had a Wilde Honda of Sarasota. I could barely finish my story, when one of my co-workers interrupted me and began describing his great experience at Wilde Honda and before I could get work in edge wise, he said that he was assisted by Michael Malms....then I finished his sentence...bury! We are confident that we made the best decision in purchasing the 2016 Honda Civic EX-T. More

Fit for You When my wife's 2003 BMW Z-4 screamed for replacement, we went looking for another car for her, initially we had a CR-V in mind and she did a test driv When my wife's 2003 BMW Z-4 screamed for replacement, we went looking for another car for her, initially we had a CR-V in mind and she did a test drive. The following day, we went back - Michael greeted me by name, remembered everything my wife had said about our car needs and knew everything there is to know about the car. While we were there we also test drove a Fit EX. Again, Michael demonstrated knowledge of every aspect of the car, answered all our questions, and was very pleasant to deal with. We decided to wait on the CR-V and get a Fit for me with my wife driving our SRX until we decided to trade it. Every aspect of the buying experience was pleasant, even the settling on trade-in value. Michael was straight forward, honest, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. We both felt that we had been treated respectfully and fairly. When it's time to replace the SRX, we'll be dealing with Michael. More

Michael Malmsbury contacted me and did a great job explaining the features and differences between the models and the years. I received pricing for a new EX-L model which seems pretty good but I was looking to play less and Wilde Honda didn't have the used model I was looking for. I'm guessing if they did, I would have purchased it there using the Costco program. More

Dread Not! I dreaded having to go to a car dealership to find my next new car but I needed one. Since I have had good luck with Honda, I went to the local Wilde I dreaded having to go to a car dealership to find my next new car but I needed one. Since I have had good luck with Honda, I went to the local Wilde dealership here in Sarasota. The next thing I dread is talking to a car salesman. In my experience they are pushy though sometimes in subtle ways, not particularly knowledgeable about the cars they have to offer, direct you to the high GP offerings and finally are not very flexible when it comes to pricing. I needn’t have worried since with the luck of a draw we, my wife and I, ended up with Michael. We looked at everything from a Fit to a Pilot which we own at present. For me the main thing was to find a comfortable car but smaller than an SUV. Well after more than 2 hours of trying on cars, yes like a suit, we decided on an Accord. If it hadn’t been for Michael’s interest, attention and unflagging patience I am sure I would have walked off the lot after 30 minutes. Yes we struck a deal which would have been easily accomplished were it not for disagreement over the value of my trade in. With sales management help that too was worked through successfully. At this point my wife and I were quite satisfied but Michael was not done. We came back the next day to pick up the car he spent another hour going through the features of the car, not just directing us to a video but while sitting in the car with us went through all the features of the new car. Believe me that was a BIG help to us! I think we tend often only to give feedback when something doesn’t go right. This is one time when I simply had to speak up for something that was VERY RIGHT….Michael. John Munroe 2/24/16 More

My wife and I had met Michael probably 4 years ago on a night we decided to just go walk around the Sarasota Honda used car lot. Since that time we had found several vehicles we had interest in but in the end for one reason or another we didn't end up purchasing. Michael is not your typical car salesman. He is patient and will not get pushy just to try and make a sale. I will do repeat business with him and can recommend him easily. More
