We purchased a used "certified" car from Paragon Honda @ 57-02 Northern Blvd, Woodside, New York 11377 a few days ago.
What we thought that we were getting was a certified pre owned car at a decent price. But what we really got was scammed, headaches, a damaged car with a bad paint job, ripped off, lied to... The list goes on.
The finance manger, Joy Choudhry, worked in some additional charges in our contract, on top of the price that we had initially agreed on. He lied to us about the extended warranty telling us that it will only cost $4 extra a month, when in fact he charged us $2,300 (which is $200 over what Honda Financial allows).
The day of purchase we weren't given all of the documents such as THE CONTRACT! We returned the next day to the dealership, for the 4th time in a week to get the documents and cancel the Honda Care that we didn't even need!
After reviewing the contract and seeing all of the figures, now we understand why they did not give this to us! They added in extra charges after agreeing on a price, which is ILLEGAL! They wouldn't let us cancel the Honda Care there... Also... ILLEGAL and the fact that they didn't supply copies of the contract the day of the purchase, well guess what, that is ILLEGAL too!
We brought the car to several places, damage appraiser, auto body, another Honda with competent people, something you won't find at Paragon and they all confirmed that this car had been in an accident, and has a horrible paint job. We didn't see this because when first viewing the car, it was really dirty, and the day of purchase the car was not available to view until it was dark outside, by that time we purchased it. We were told we could return the car if there were any problems.
We went back to "return" the car, they said they will only exchange it, they said they would give us an AMAZING deal that included paying several THOUSAND DOLLARS more. After placing a call to our lawyer, we were advised to leave and not continue business at the dealership and we would meet asap to discuss the next actions to be taken.
Paragon told us that they will not refund our money, even though what they sold us was not what had been promised and originally agreed on. We are in the process of ending this whole nightmare ASAP and will not stop until we have our money back.
Buyer beware!!! Do not do business with paragon honda!!!
This is what to expect if you do decide to go:
-You will be offered what seems like a good deal, then unknowingly to you, additional charges will be worked in, they need to make a HUGE profit on you and scam you somehow!
-You will be lied to, cheated, scammed and realize after you make a purchase that you just made a HUGE mistake and were scammed.
-They will offer you a cookie and coffee while they operate illegally and RIP YOU OFF!
-You may be sold a potentially DANGEROUS car, since they don't abide by Honda's standards.
I hope that you take this and everyone else's bad experiences with this piece of Sh* dealership into consideration when shopping for a car. There is no such thing as a good deal at this place!!!
