I visited Ottawa Honda at 955 Richmond Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, a week ago, and negotiated a Civic for my wife. I told the salesperson, J.P. Gauthier of Ottawa Honda that I did not want my car to have more than 20 km on it. He said that they never sold a new car with more than 20-25 km
Today we went to pick the car, and I asked him what the mileage was on the car and he said all new Honda's would be 20-25 km. Since I had asked a direct question and he gave me an answer I did not bother checking the mileage prior to signing the papers. After the fact, I realized the car had 90 km on it. I told him he just had said the car had 20 on it. He completely changes his story and said that he had done me a favor, traveled on his day off to Pembroke to drive the car to Ottawa.
I told him I had been very specific about the mileage of the car, and that he had lied to me, He told me I was being ridiculous and used bad word starting with F and Sh in front of my wife,
I am not sure what J.P. Gauthier has dumped on me. It might be a demo car sold to me as new. It might be a car some dealer drove for personal use, who knows?
I have heard that car salesmen do anything to pick a nickel off people. But I had asked a very specific question and set a very specific condition for J.P. Gauthier, and he had given me his word, and he lied right to my face.
There is not much I can do I guess, Ottawa Honda and their sales person J.P. Gauthier took advantage of my trust, and sold a used car to me as new. All I can do is warn as many as I can
I would think twice about taking my business to Ottawa Honda on Richmond Road in Ottawa, Ontario
If that is the type of sales person Honda hires, I would think twice about doing any business with Honda
