My mom’s worked for a Honda dealership for close to thirty years now and if it turns out that the dealer did fuck you, then I suggest that you report it to Honda of America. They do not take kindly to dealers fucking over their customers. According to my mother, owning a Honda dealership is better than having a license to print money, since they can sell the cars as fast as they can bring them in, they don’t need to screw the customer to make a little extra cash.
Oh, and the Element is a pretty cool car (though I hate the fact that they’ve gone to making the cladding the same color as the body).
