Dealer Recommendation Please

[S2000dude]

Can anyone recommend a Honda dealer in the NJ/Eastern Pa area?

Hard to believe it's going on 3 yrs since I leased Stewie, and now it's time to hand her back. However, I'm not leaving the fold. I plan on leasing a new S2000.

Thanks.

My father lives 2 miles from Piazza Honda in Limerick off the 422 west of Philly. Other than that, everything has changed so much since I moved from there 7 years ago.

Greetings S2000dude,

Depending on what the residual value is of your current stewie, you might be better keeping it. You can call the lease agent and make them a lowball offer this time of year, and you've got a good chance of them accepting it.
Worth checkin' into before you turn it in, and it could leave you sitting real pretty. It's not like your S is on the brink of blowin' up or rustin' out.

food for thought,

Thanks Jagg. Yes, it seems to be a buyer's market. Do you know if the buy out price is negoitable? I believe it's 19k and change.

Greetings Dude,

Depends on who holds the lease......most of them will take less than the residual value, and re-fi the remainder, much to your convenience, via the mail. Currently the fact that it's a buyer's market works to your advantage. You are in a perfect postion to take it for less than market value. Essentially, you are the buyer.
Don't forget, you save them alot of b.s. by keepin' it, and offer them a chance to make something on the sale if you choose to finance it with them. Go low. If you like the car enough, it's worth making some offer.

OR----you could just turn in your Stewie, and walk everywhere you went from now on. It was good enough for Jesus, 'n it's good enough for us.

Best Regards,
Jagg

Yes ta whut Jagg'z sayin' Dude.
Not fer nothin' bu'cha know the previous owner n' he wuz rather well mannered with the car.
As for dealers in Joisey, seek ye the yeller pages. Only one I "know" is about a block away n' I wouldn't steer anybody I liked in their direction. There's Princeton Honda out jus' south'a the intersection'a 206 n' 518 on 206, but there'z alot more'n'att.
She'z jus' barely broke in Dude.
Why let someone else be the lucky guy to wind up with yer girl?

You have an Amen from me dear brother jagg !

Actually, I leased it through Honda, and I was thinkin' of buying it but I kinda like the idea of VSC (vehicle stability control) on the present models.

Plus Honda added DRLs and a few other goodies as well. Of course these alone are not reasons enough to buy a car.

Dunno at this point ???

Java - thanks for the warning about Princeton Honda. I was gonna call them but now I'll save the dime !

No! No!
Dude, Princeton Honda was okay (compared to the Brossards down the street from me jus' aboudd anybody'd be okay though.)
I had limited dealin'z with Princeton n' they seemed to be a place I'd go back to if I hadda get in touch with Mother.
Princeton'z about 15, maybe 20 miles away n' I'd deal with them before I'd deal with my neighborhood Honda dealer which I could walk to.

Thanks Java !

EscoMobb - Thanks. Is there a salesman @ Hillside you would recommend?

[EscoMobb]

No one in particular, they are all pretty good there. Oh and if you do go there, you HAVE to check out the collection of vintage Honda racing bikes and cars (i think?) that they have in the really nice showroom. Very impressive, the owners of the dealership love racing of every form and it kinda shows in there.
