Guys, Knoxville TN, Westside Honda is charging MSRP, adding front spoiler $799, rear $799, side strakes $399 (I think) and paint protector for $399. What the heck are they using for paint protector anyway. I cut my deal over the phone in FLA and am flying down 4/6 to pick up and drive home. Any suggestions on what to cover the front bumper and grill with to avoid all the bugs and rock chips from a 950 mile trip. Any suggestions> Thanks

As for the original poster, man, what a great description of the events. If your day job doesn't work out, try writing for a living.
To all the greedy Honda dealers -- FU!

Sorry De hapa you are indeed the winner. Thanks (i forgot your name) for the writing props. I did indeed try to make my living that way and had a job as a ghostwriter out of college, but thank god I got a day job and can afford an S2000 today.
Its is also correct that I edited my own messages. I have seen and been on the receiving end of frivolous lawsuits, and regardless of the eventual outcome, they are always headaches, time and money bleeders. Everyone knows who the dealer is anyway. Just everyone else stay away, there is always an alternative. I am just too impatient.
Regardless, today I got off of work put the top down on the car and cruised the beaches of San Diego. You can all be sure that all traces of regret and disgrace are gone. I am lucky to have the car, end of story.

Has anyone heard of freedom of the press? If you tell the truth and don't slander, you should not be afraid to name names.
There are many ways for a dealer to get money out of you. If not price, then trade-in, or financing, or hidden interest costs. Or service contracts. My advice is to arrange a lease or financing thorough your bank or a leasing agent (no, I'm not one) and then make your best deal with the dealership for cash out the door. You'll know exactly what you are paying.

It's funny how the more technical/exotic/expensive an item is, the more shady and f**ked up the salesperson can be??? Do companies spend so much time on technology that they forget about human relations? I bought a 42" HD plasma and still feel jacked... is it me
