Car dealers screw you twelve ways to Sunday then boo-hoo that it's necessary because there are all those pesky fees THEY have to pay, like rent for their dealership and crap.
They would sell their own mother for an extra $1000.

I am NOT at all surprised. Hey, we're talking new car dealers here. The two people which are at the bottom of the list of the worst professions - new car dealers and used car dealers.

Three of the most depressing, stress-filled and aggravating experiences in life: getting laid off, being mugged and negotiating the price of a new car with a car salesperson.

He should have gone to a Benz dealer where they treat you right. Not a commoner Honda dealership. How do you think you'll be treated?

I'm from LA and believe I know the dealer(s) he's gone to. Probably the first one is one I've gone to once in the past and they were so bad they were ridiculous. A car dealer often uses a different version of a customer's credit score from another dealer. They even have a score which isn't available to the public. It's probably why he finally cut a deal at another one. They used a more favorable report. It most likely had nothing to do with his race. It's about time Congress took on the credit reporting bureaus and established ONE score used by all and available at all times to the consumer.

No doubt racism was involved.

And don't be so quick to diss car dealers. It's an honest job.

They have to deal with people lying to them and hating on them all day long thinking they can blame the car dealers for them not paying their bills on time.

I did it for a while back in the day and every chitheel with bad credit and 3 days on an $8 an hour job thinks they deserve a car and that you are cheating them. It's a thankless job.

He should name the dealers publicily. Other potential customers should know where they can get an honest deal and where they can't! Maybe rent out a billboard. LOL I don't think it's slander if it's true.

I feel really bad for the guy.

In terms of car salespeople, I was completely honest with the dealerships I went to about my exact situation when I went to buy a car (and when I purchased one, I called all the other salespeople who had helped me and left voicemails about who I was and what car I had been looking at, and that I decided to go with another option; and I thanked them for their help. I figure that most people don't have the common courtesy to let people know, and I thought it was only decent to tell them). I was buying used, though. The guy I bought from was comparatively honest, and I really appreciated it. I still send him Christmas cards.

F*ck Honda. I was the proud owner of a Honda CR-V that had known air conditioner problems -- the kind of problems where the compressor would crap out and shoot tiny metal shards through the A/C system, requiring a complete replacement of the entire system. A fix that Honda's mechanics estimate costs between $2500-4000 to complete.

Honda is well aware of this issue and does not recall the vehicles, because... well, they're Honda. They don't have to, because nobody's being harmed. So yeah. F*ck Honda.

They got a black man to be a spokesman for something called "the really BIG THING". Think about it.
