Hey i was just wondering if anyone on the board bought an s2000 from Madison Honda in New Jersey and was wondering what they thought? Anything that i should watch out for or any perks that you got?
thanks

I originally had a deal with Madison for MSRP (I switched to D&C in Tenafly only because I was able to get my car at MSRP much sooner). . .

Anyway, I thought Madison was a stand-up dealer. . . However, they will thy to "push" that window etching thing on you for $169 (I thought that was high considering the S2000 only has 3 windows (most Honda's have at least 6). . .

Other than that, it seems like a good dealer. They offer a service loaner car & they also have a program that guarantees your car's engine for 100,000 miles (though, since I didn't buy my car there I don't know exactly how this program works). . .

Overall, I think it a good choice. . .

 

Bought mine from Madison Honda, ordered it in July and it arrived in November. Dealership was highly professional and courteous, got the car at MSRP (they confessed to selling them above sticker when they first arrived, but don't do that anymore). Only warning I would give is to make sure the spring spacers are removed before taking delivery! They forgot to remove mine, I drove it right back and embarassed the hell out of them, as they rightfully deserved. Haven't had any service performed there yet (under 1000 miles still on the car) but I'm expecting good treatment.

 

I bought my car there and should be picking it up within the next week. They seem like a good dealer. I too was a little ticked off about the window etching b.s.

I'll give you a full report once I get the car.

 

Go to S2Ki homepage. Look up "Rants" Your dealer is listed in both good and bad....check it out. They look pretty good to me ;-)

 

Iceman 666: That window etching does nothing for the new owner (except depreciate his car). It does in fact reduce the insurance premiums of the dealer. If they are etching windows on an S2K, they're messed up! I would request new windows or a severe discount!

 

thanks for all the info by the way i was just wondering do any of you guys live around this area. Madison Honda is probably like 20 mins from my house.
thanks
