Thanks for the help. I'm somewhat restricted in what I can do because the two amps I plan on using are the aforementioned Kappa amp and an original Infinity DPA-250 Digital amplifier. It's not very flexible as far as amps go: 2 X 50 watts at 4 ohms, can't do 2 ohms and not bridgeable. But I think it's really...

I've looked up and down the Peninsula for a good dealer and frankly have found none. I've dealth a lot with Serramonte Honda. At one point I asked them to demonstrate for me how the Odyssey's folding rear seat works. The reply was "show me the money," never mind the fact that they weren't allo...

Colleen · Colleen

My answer refers only to the sales dealership. Since service doesn't apply to me. BUT...... Concord Honda was wonderful! They search the whole state until they found my car a few hundred miles away! (trucked it to me) THE car I wanted. They gave me a loaner (a Civic Hybrid) since we traded in the '02. (we...

How would you rate your Honda Dealer? The dealer i went to was great. they worked and worked to get us into the accord. they were very pleasant to deal with. The dodge/chrysler dealer i used to go to was never as good as the honda dealer was. the dodge service department was always crappy and really never f...

Went in for service last week to get my front license plate frame tighten and the vertical molding tape replaced on the driver's side window. They had to order the molding so I went in again today and they did an excellent job.

Those marks look like they'd be hard to catch unless you know exactly where to look. I would hope a mechanic doing a used car inspection (like Autocritic or Lemonbusters) would know what to do. How about "Honda Certified"? I'd still want to get a Certified vehicle checked out by an independ...

I remember looking at a new 92 Legend coupe with my dad at the dealer. I looked along the sides to check for dings and noticed some slight waves in the middle of the door. Opened the door and there was powder around the door hinges. My dad and the salesman thought I was crazy. The salesman checked with the sa...

Look in your Accord's owners manual. It has a list of all the vin tag locations. It'll be about the same on the new Accords. Ususally they're on each door, inside the rear door wells (near the thing that catches the lock), hood underside, trunk underside, rear bumper cover (open trunk look down at the bu...

Trade-in values are pretty close to wholesale - or the actual cash value that the dealer could get for the car at auction. But the real kicker is the condition. If you look at those sites, especially KBB, the condition you place on the vehicle can significantly impact the trade-in value. How's the body...

Ormond · Ormond

Just last week a Jiffy Lube put gear oil in a Honda MT.... they customer brought it to the dealer because it would hardly shift. If caught early just changing out the fluid to the right stuff will cure it. If left too long it needs to be rebuilt. Guess who had to rebuild it!! I agree with Stevel, get a relatio...

Kailyn · Kailyn

that's why I rotate my own tires and do any work I can myself. Any other work that I cannot do is done by legitimate mechanics, not the all-in-one chop-shop bastards. I've never heard so much BS slung as in those places. My mother always wonders why I never "just take my car to sears". She doesn...

Shaun · Shaun

Well, I never trusted those placed despite never having seen this video before. But from what I've seen of these places, it does not suprise me. I prefer not to change the oil myself because it's just annoying, but I will in lack of an acceptable alternative. The last time I went to one of those jiffy lube...

Olive · Olive

Who knows.... there's been worse done for no punishment. It just depends on whether he's on the boss' good list at the time. Someone crunches a car about 6 times per year or so. Normally it's "lot lizzards". Once a bicycle ran into a car. As long as they own up to it, it's not too bad. Once they gu...

Maegan · Maegan

Keven the assistant parts manager was driving the fork lift when he ran into this car in the drive. The customer was standing next to it when he hit it. She just started crying. I don't blame her. This would suck.

Cassia · Cassia

Went to Pauly Honda to get my headlight seal replaced because of mositure forming in the headlight. Overall good service, they told me 45 min wait but ended up waiting almost two hours. I was to busy watching the California fire on tv so no problem.

62 miles on my coupe when I took ownership ..but that was after stripping off the rest of the temp covering/protection stuff & a 14 mile 'test-drive' with the sales associate ... I don't know how some folks can test drive a car in 3 miles lol. I definitely inquired how long the car had been on the lot (2...

Alene · Alene

Read the paperwork! Don't take anybody's word for anything. Make sure all the blanks in the contract are filled in. Make sure you're paying what you agreed to pay in your earlier negotiations. And make sure you're not paying for anything you didn't agree to buy. Once you're certain both the car and the...

Lyndi · Lyndi

Get checked out. Part of the salesperson's job is to acquaint you with your new car's features and how each one operates. It's also an opportunity to be sure that each feature operates properly. Be sure you understand the heating/ventilation system, the audio system and the remote locking/securit...

Alysha · Alysha

Take a final test drive. You may have already test driven the car, but this time be on the lookout for any malfunctions. The dealership still owns the vehicle, so expect the salesperson to accompany you. But ask him or her to can the chatter; you'll need to concentrate - and listen - as you put the truck th...

Shevon · Shevon

Make sure the car is complete. The spare tire, tire-changing equipment, owner's manual, plus any unusual items that may standard equipment - like a first-aid kit or floor mats - should of course, be on board. Then be sure the car has any optional equipment that you paid for - premium or alloy wheels or a...

Homer · Homer

1. Note the mileage. Before you do anything else, look at the odometer. It should be as close to zero as possible. After all, you're paying for a brand-new car. And that's exactly what you should get. But there's more than principle involved. The first few hundred miles on a fresh engine are critical if...

I bought mine from boch, got one of the best deals you could find on an 07 accord! They were pressed to sell some cars with only a few days left to make a $200k bonus from honda, so they were taking a hit on some cars, so they could meet the quota for the bonus. I got my brand new 07 EX V6 sedan for $22,500 ~ish (i fo...

Micheal · Micheal

What do people think of this dealership? Has anyone have anything negative to say are they honest about their overthe phone final quote. we got a quote on a 07 accord lx and they said the car should be here in two days. We probably will buy if the car shows up.

Marge · Marge

Hey, a friend of mine is buying a certified pre-owned honda. He was asking about the extended warranty. It is a Zurich? or something like that. He wants to know if Honda offers an extended warranty, or is it something that shouldnt be dealt with altogether? I say no to those kind of deals, but I wanted to t...

Jaydon · Jaydon

I've never bought from this site but I have owned a borla exhaust on my old Zx2. I ran it for 5 years on that car before trading it in. It was a very high quality stainless exhaust with well manicured welds and a deep throaty sound not raspy with no vibrations or back firing like those cheap mufflershop exha...
