I went to 5 car dealerships around Sacramento over the long Thanksgiving weekend to get a new car, since mine was 7 years old and would soon need its annual maintenance that would probably cost me more than the car was worth. By far, the best salesperson was Mike C. at Elk Grove Honda. He tried to be unobtrusive, and not pushy at all. He was helpful, giving me pros & cons of each of the cars we looked at. \r

The car I eventually bought was priced EXACTLY as it was advertised in the newspaper. The sales office staff was friendly & helpful, too. This was the best car buying experience I've ever had.\r

The new Honda warranty is also fantastic, covering more than any other manufacturer out there. I adore my new car, and I think that I'm very happy with my deal.\r

For my trade-in, I didn't get exactly what the Kelly Blue Book suggested I should get...the dealer uses the "black book", but I'm happy with what I did get. It was very close.
