WORST CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE EVER!! I would NEVER do business here again. If I could rate them with zero stars I would. It was a very shady and INCONSIDERATE group of people to work with.\r

Since our family is growing, and because we live down the street, we decided to visit Scott Robinson in search of a Pilot. Jeremiah, our salesman, was pretty nice to work with at the beginning. Test drove a used Pilot and we were very interested in purchasing it. We then asked to get an estimate for our trade-in (just for knowledge) but I was going to sell it on m own. Then Dave comes in. Mr. ""gum chewing, professional"" salesman gives me a spiel and tells me I'm emotionally attached to my car and think it's worth more than it actually is before giving me the number. Also, instead of telling us there was a lower internet price, he was working off of the sticker price. He just gave us a bad vibe and we left.\r
\r
I get a call the next day from customer service and explained our situation. We head back down the street like idiots to work with Jeremiah again. Since he was busy, Bobby helps us and was really good to work with at first. He was very upfront, honest, and got to the point. Very much appreciated that. We couldn't agree on a price for the 2011 Pilot and started to negotiate on a NEW 2012 Pilot. We told him we were interested, but they didn't have a new EX model on the lot. Bobby said he can get it for us and would make it happen. We waited around for a an hour and told us they would call me the car would be there in 2-3 days. \r
\r
2 or 3 days later, I get a call from Aaron, telling me that he can't get a car without extra accessories. I would also be responsible for the extra cost. After going back and forth over the phone 6 times, and even offering to split the cost of the accessories I did NOT want, he would not budge. I STILL agreed to the extra cost to get the car as soon as possible. I then get another call from Jeremiah saying they found the original car I wanted and the original deal was good. He said he would call me back to schedule an appoinment. Just to be clear, all I wanted was a silver EX Pilot model with no extras.\r
\r
We made an appointment for Friday at 6pm. After a long week at work, and making babysitter arrangements, my husband and I were looking forward to our new car. I get a call Friday from Jeremiah, asking to push back our appointment and I agreed. We walk in the dealer around 7pm and I ask to see the new car. Jeremiah says that ""the car is in traffic, but on it's way!"" He asks us to wait, comes back with Joe, and Joe tells us the car was SOLD!! I was LIVID!!!\r
\r
SERIOUSLY!!??!! Not one person was considerate enough of our time, our energy, my family's time! If Scott Robinson didn't have the car, why waste my time and tell me they were going to get the car!! So INCREDIBLY SHADY!\r
\r
I feel like the plan was to keep getting us to come into the dealership and talk us into getting anything, but come on. Aaron telling me I ""deserved"" the car and the extra accessories were worth it and Jeremiah saying the car was in ""traffic""??\r
\r
It's sad that I drive by Scott Robinson everyday with my baby and now I wouldn't even take my car there for service.\r
\r
We went to Carson Honda right after we walked out the last time and had the BEST experience there. Spent half an hour negotiating, they ordered my car, went back the next day for 90 minutes and drove away in my brand new EX Pilot. Thank you Carson Honda! SHAME ON YOU Scott Robinson Honda.\r
