Got Mats and Parking Sensors also had the option of mudflaps but didn't think they would look that good against the red.

Also got a crappy bunch of flowers which came in handy for Mothers Day

Your only a customer until you hand over the money. And then you are forgotten, as most dealers do...

that is shocking service! mine came with a full tank of diesel.

I'm afraid Dan that its not you that's wrong - its Honda that is the problem. My wife is seeing so many problems (still not sorted) and visits back to the dealer that any Honda is now a no no.

This is our 19th brand new car and I have not had any trouble with previous new cars since I foolishly bought a Vauxhall back in the 1980s. In the last few years with Fords we only ever went to the garage once each year for a service.

Got a bottle of Champers with mine... and a keyring that's Got the dealer's logo/phone number on it...

Bouquet of flowers, box of chocolates, and a bottle of cava in the boot.

Oh, and the usual full tank of diesel, and mats and mudflaps.

. To date, I can't fault my dealers, but they are brand new to the area, so probably out to impress, and are very much a family concern. My wife has almost adopted the salesman!

I guess one of the perks of living in the sticks is there isn't much passing trade, if they get a customer they have to look after them. Previously I had 4 Seat Leons on the trot, and if I ever had a problem, it was bring it in, we'll look at it straight away, and it never came back without being washed and cleaned.

apemonkeyman · 28th March 2008, 23:21

Can we get this straight please!!

A full tank is not a freebie - it is part of the on the road price! Stop giving your dealer credit for something you have paid for!

subarup1 · 29th March 2008, 09:50

In fairness ‘apemonkeyman’ and while I admire your 'enthusiastic' point of view, my Honda purchase was not a new car and therefore the OTR suggestion you make is not valid in my case.

So the full tank of juice in my case WAS a freebie...

... and on that note, I also remember now them giving me a years free road tax. They didn't tax the car, they just reduced the purchase price by £115.00 so that I could spend the rest on tax but I had to bargain hard for that!

So...
· Vino
· Juice
· Tax
Not too bad I suppose...

apemonkeyman · 29th March 2008, 10:54

I stand corrected...

Still, even if I bought a nearly new car & had to make my 1st stop a petrol station I would be rather p*ssed off.

razorblewnose · 29th March 2008, 11:24

Got mine on 13th March. Dad picked his up yesterday. We both got full tanks of fuel, mats. I also got a bottle of wine and an ipod and a big thank you from the salesman!

subarup1 · 29th March 2008, 12:52

Exactly my primate friend... hence demanding my spaceship to be brimmed prior to blast off!

Tony Fendall · 29th March 2008, 13:27

I got brilliant service from City Honda Basingstoke, from the first Honda I bought from them to the last, my Civic.
This is preferable to me than any 'freeby'.

But if it´s possible to get both? Brilliant service and freebies? Doesn´t have to be one or the other.

razorblewnose · 29th March 2008, 18:53

Forgot to mention the Supaguard. Dad bought a 1.4 SE Auto and the Salesman got some very nice alloys put on it for £258 extra.
