    Default Recommendation needed: Honda dealer & sales contact

    I am looking at getting a new ride, probably a Honda Pilot. I went online and used TrueCar.com to get some pricing info on the model and trim I want. I used TrueCar in my prior 2 auto purchases with good results. This time I found myself being bombarded by emails, phone calls, and txt messages coming from 3 local Honda dealers identified by TrueCar as nearest to my location. These guys and gals are very aggressive and persistent. I got multiple people from the same dealership trying to contact me by all means available. Frankly, if they are already this pushy even before I talk to them, I cannot imagine how much more pushy they get once I visit the dealer lot.

    Do you have any recommendation on Honda dealership and contact person(s) who are helpful, but not pushy in making the sale, in the Denver-Ft. Collins area?

    My last purchase with Toyota was very pleasant. I visited the dealership, gave the internet sale manager a sheet of paper with the specs of car I was looking for. He found the car (while I was there) and gave me a price. I knew the statistics of sale prices in the area and his price was under the average sale price, I knew he tried to save me the aggravation of price negotiation. I made one minor request, and we reached a deal ..... all in a matter of minutes. Easiest car buying experience in my life and this is how I intend to make my next purchase.

    Call the dealer you were over burdened with sales calls from. Ask to speak to the sales manager, explain to him what you posted here.

    What happened here is a good case for going through a broker. I've done it twice to get a specific VIN from a dealer's inventory without a bunch of hassle and being held captive at the dealership all day. The broker also sold my used vehicle at auction to get me top dollar for the trade-in.

    Thank you!
    We just went through a round at McDonald's Audi concerning a 2014 Honda.
    Their last argument was they had to protect the McDonald's family assets.
    New one to me. Later (of course) I had the thought to respond that I had to protect my assets.
    We didn't buy the car, and last night it hailed like hail and the car would have been hammered.

    Ones that I DO NOT recommend is MileHigh and Planet.
    I would avoid any place with high D&H fees.

    Places with moderate services are Fisher, Frontier and schompz. Only thing is the Ralph schomps have a fixed price.

    Funny that main Honda sales guy and managers are same person from 20 years ago. Wow.

    Talk to Internet Sales guy or accidently talk to fleet guys. They usually so good deals. Only thing if you talk to manager is that he/she will have available sales guy to help you out. (Called spoon deal in the car industry).
