You don't HAVE to take it back to the dealership from which you bought it. If you find one at a dealer that's farther away, there should be no problem about taking it to the closer one for maintenance.
Yep, your warranty is with Honda, not the dealership.
Yeah...I got that. But what if I don’t *like* the local dealership?
I guess the sales folks are different than the service department, but....
All in all, where Honda is concerned, it looks like the nearest place that actually has a decent amount of Fits in stock (instead of on order) is in Bellevue. Kind of a long drive fer me. Might be worth it, though. If I was absolutely ready to buy. And it all gets complicated...if I sell the van, I could take a rental car up there, but then what do I do with the rental if I buy a car?
The Toyota folks just seem easier to deal with, but I’m not sold on their current line-up. The only car I really truly like is the Matrix, and that’s kind of pricey for me.
I did just print out a window sticker for the van, so there’s that. Two window stickers, actually, and I’m goin’ back and forth again. Mechanically, I’d say it’s in good condition - not outstanding, but good. But there’s a big ding by the front bumper on one side, and plenty of little scratches, which could put it in the fair category. And no one is gonna walk around it and miss that ding. If I say it’s in “good” condition, it probably makes me look shady.
I want to be reincarnated as a decisive individual...I’m just sayin’.
