None..Buy used PP..support the 99%? LOL I dont trust stealerships...but if I did I'd check out concord Honda or Walnut Creek Honda.. those guys have always been straight forward with me.

I don't trust dealers either. Your best bet if doing all your own research, and going in guns blazing and not leaving until your needs are met. Play different dealers against each other, and consider the fact that they are there to make commission, not to satisfy you with glorious customer service.

Casey is dead on here. Know they are going to screw you as much as possible. Use figures etc against them. Maybe try to find comparable deals online etc. and use that as leverage also. You can talk them down quite a bit. Also I don't recommend trade in. They'll give you the LOWEST value possible for the vehicle. You're better off selling private party.

Steven Creek Honda seemed pretty straight-forward. Was able to make my deal directly with the sales manager after a minimum of hassle.

Ocean Honda were horrible.
