small section of what car buyer posted

We feel it will be worth a try. To back up our claim, we contacted our salesman, and asked him for a copy of the Carfax. He was happy to help. On 1/2/2009, he accompanied me to the Used Car Sales Office and they printed out a copy of the Carfax and the Total Black Book Valuation, which is used to determine trade-in values. The gentleman at the counter said, That we definitely would be had gotten more money if the car had not been in an accident".

On the morning of January 7, 2009 I was reading the Arizona Republic. Curiously I looked in the classified car section and looked up what a 2007 Honda Civic like our daughters was selling for. There was an ad and the price was $15,977. I knew it could not be ours, as our car would be sold at auction. I decided to go to the website and look at it. As I thought, it was not our daughter's vehicle. However, I scrolled down the page and our daughter's car that we had traded in was there. Not only was it there, it was being sold as a HONDA CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE for $16,988.

I printed the brochure. Not only is it Certified, under the Vehicle Condition section it indicates Original Paint, No Known Accidents, No known Bodywork and more. I could not believe what I was reading. Not only that, the CarMax, states 12/31/2008, Offered for sale as a Honda Certified Used Car. Obviously, our trade-in is what we said, immaculate and well cared for". We feel that we had been violated and defrauded. How can they get away with this kind of unethical business practice? The dealer was dishonest with us and their dishonesty doesn't end with us.

I continued each morning to look on the website to see if the vehicle was still on their website. As of January 11th, 2009, the website displays Vehicle Not Found in Database". Did they sell it? Should or can we do something about it? Can we find out to whom the car was sold to? Did they realize their mistake and make things right? Should I call the General Manager? Do I file a complaint with the BBB and the FTC? Do I notify NACA? Should I contact a lawyer? Would any of the local TV stations such as; Channel 3's- On Your Side", Channel 5's- Investigations 5iTeam, Channel 12's-Call 12 for Action, Channel 10's- Investigation or ABC's 15 Investigators be interested?

READ THE PURCHASE CONTRACT, and the LOAN CONTRACT THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU SIGN ANYTHING. Ask to take the UNSIGNED contract home for review. If they refuse-LEAVE and never return.

NEVER sign any purchase agreement or loan contract that HAS ANY BLANKS ON IT!

It's impossible for them to "sneak" in an extended warranty, etched windows, and other nonsense if you READ THE CONTRACT BEFORE SIGNING. If you are presented with a contract that has "added" costs such as these DRAW A HORIZONTAL LINE and letter "DO NOT AGREE" in the signature block and get up and WALK AWAY-don't do business with them. Don't argue, don't discuss-simply walk away and never return.

I am not a customer of Paragon Honda, and I am glad I have never been there. I was looking for a Honda S2000 and inquired about a car they had there. I asked them about pricing in emails yet they ignored my questions and sent me standard form letters and phone calls as if I had never asked them a question. I got sick of them, so I bought my car elsewhere.

I later stumbled across this website,(((redacted))) with numbers of complaints about shady practices. Its is amazing this place is still in business.



Just read there. I would trust these sources since they all seem to have the same story, just with different vehicles. This people are crooks. Stay away.

CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report.

Do not even consider looking at buying a car with a a dirty exterior because you don't know what cracks and body damage you may miss.

Spend the money and get a Carfax car history report to find out if the car has been involved in any accidents or major repair. You don't know whether the car had major water damage from a recent flood or hurricane.

Contact the

NYS Office of attorney general and tell them to open an investigation because what they did is fraud

NYCDCA "Dept of consumer affair" get there dealer license number and put in a claim and let them investigate

but if you want really good result

call the media "investigation reporter"

and also look at past compliant from other customer that was caught with web of lied !

good luck !

Always take the vehicle to an independent mechanic BEFORE you buy it then you will have a much better idea the condition of the vehicle. If the dealer won't let you do that then look elsewhere.

I'm sure your signature(s) are on the contract and that makes it binding. But, you should be able to cancel the extended warranty. If it is through Honda contact Honda's regional office in your area, skip the dealer.
