Honda of Atlanta

i came into the dealer with my wife and we already knew the make and model of the car. Got a hold of the salesman who said that he just got one in but he did not have the key. Therefore we could not test drive it.
Since we knew the car and the rating of it we then decided that we were going to purchase it. We then proceeded to haggle over the price and the trade in for my old car. We then got to getting the approval for financing whereas he said that he had to have his financial person run a credit check and then talk to us. I already knew what my score was and it was in fact good enough to get the lowest rate (according to another dealer).
Well we waited and waited for him and after 2 hours we then got apologies from the manager saying that the manager is having trouble with a customer who does not speak good English. There was in fact another couple ahead of us who heard this, got upset and left.
We were upset also. I told the salesperson that this is no excuse and that if he wants I can pull up my credit report for him. Of course he did not want that!
A couple of days went by and the finance manager called back. No apologies that it took him 2 days to do this. He then told me that I could not get the lowest rate. I asked him why and he said that although my score was tops and that my payment history for my credit cards was good. I have not purchased a new car in a long time and therefore do not have a credit history based on that. He suggested that I put my wife on as a backer for the loan. It did not matter to him that I own my house outright and that I have not debts. He also criticized me for looking for the car at another dealer.
I felt that he was talking to me like a child. I then called the salesperson and told him this and to forget the whole deal.
I went to his competitor and purchased the car at the same price and got the finance rate that he promised me. No hassles at all!!!
DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE A CHILD!!!
Very bad business

I have never seen such incompetence in my life. We waited there this past weekend for over 2 hours doing nothing except waiting for a credit report so we could go over financing. We finally left and told them to call us when they had the information. 2 days later the business manager (who had to have failed every business class he took) called us to see what the story was. What??? He still hadn’t done the credit check, saying they were busy. When I questioned him on how slow everything was moving and they obviously didn’t want to sell cars that bad, his response was he had 3 kids at home and yes, he wanted to sell cars. Well, message to those kids. You better be prepared to go hungry because your daddy has an attitude that will get him nowhere in life. Way to many other dealers out there who will work diligently and efficiently to get your business. By the way, we went to another dealer and within 1 hour we were the owners of a new Honda. Do your research people. We all work very hard for our money and you deserve to be treated well. Don’t stand for such behavior from dealers. This guy is the poster child for why we all hate to go buy cars.

Best way to buy a cheap used car, Craigslist can get a little sketchy. This way you get to go through a reputable dealer to get the same kind of great deal.

Finest car buying experience of my life. They are truly transparent. The transaction was smooth, fast, even enjoyable! I didn’t think it was possible. If you want to have fun while you spend money, visit Ed Voyles Honda.

Ed Voyles Honda is a great place
