A Day in Hell

That's why i NEVER wait LOL After 5 mins. I would be climbing the walls. If my wife can't pick me up I'd buy a friend a steak dinner to pick me up to avoid waiting.

 

Hennessey Ford is horrible. My dad had a 2003 lightning (like 10mpg!, but pretty fast) and someone hit his car when we were eating in a diner. Came out to see that the rear left fender dented and scratched. Sent it in to Hennessy Ford and had them do the bodywork. Got the Lightning back in 8 weeks! Thats horrible. Even though Joe Hennessey (the owner of the dealership) is a good friend of my father. To be nice, Joe, Put us on the #1 spot for the Ford Gt (newer Gt40). They called us and asked if we were still interested and we said yes. His reply is that the cost will be $ 250,000! Thats BS! :cussing: . So, my dad said that he was f'ing crazy for asking 100k over MSRP(thats a 100k dealer markup) and slammed the phone on the reciever. They called back about a week from today and asked if we were still interested, and we said yes. They told us that a guy was interested and was willing to offer 250K, and then the guy told them to forget about it. So, If we want it we can get it when it comes in(like in a week). I told my dad that if he wants something that is as fast and handles as good, to get a Audi S4 and beef it up a bit; and to get me a Prius! :mrgreen:
I will get a 05 Pkg 6 Millenium Silver as soon as we sell the lexus.

 

Not to mention a free Prius (to be raffeled here)

 

if your ever going to have an accident now's the time.

congrats my dad also has an S4 and i have the prius

 

OMG! What do they do to ya if you smash up a loaner?

 

they take your Prius out behind the shop............. and you don't want to know what they do to it!

 

actually better to smash up the loaner than a Prius, by a long shot, and they won't be happy, but it's a lot easier on your nerves to see someone else's air bag's deploy.

 

Point taken.

 

If you smash up a loaner the insurance pays - and your rates go up. No muss, no fuss.

I love my Prius. Coolest car in the universe! But I sure miss the service I got from the now-defunct Honda Dealership when I bought my '89 Civic.

Honda gave me a loaner for any and all service, both repair and routine maintenance; Honda always had my car ready before they said it would be ready; Honda never made a mistake on service, their newest mechanic had been with them for 5 or 10 years; They rated an absolute 10 in every respect.

Had that dealership still been in existance I'd have had a much harder time deciding to switch from Honda to Toyota, and even so I made the switch reluctantly, based on the terribly weak technology of Honda's IMA compared to Toyota's HSD.

The Toyota dealership never has my car ready on time; it offers a "courtesy ride" for which you wait so long, and take such a roundabout route, that I prefer to pay for a taxi; and although I give them fair marks for service quality, they have twice made mistakes for which I had to go back. However they did give me a loaner for the day when they performed the fuel-gauge/filler-pipe TSB. And I only paid $21.77 for each of the first two scheduled maintenance (without tire rotation). So they're better than average overall.

 

Daniel:

I bought new a 1992 Honda Prelude SR and also consider the service I got from the local Honda dealership as superior. It seems with Honda's you either receive excellent service or bone-chilling horrible service.

When my Prius croaked on me and left me stranded, the shuttle van at my local dealership was busy. So the service writer drove me home in his personal vehicle, that was nice of him. So it looks like I have lucked out with my local dealer.

 

.....except, perhaps, when you ask for another loaner. :lol:

 

Huh? Why would the DVD player/Nav computer not accept the new DVD. Sounds downright fishy to me. They probably put it in upside down.
