So you bought the Acura from them or you went somewhere else?  You weren't
too clear about that.

I've had similar experiences with ANY Honda dealer.  They all try to smooth
talk about this and that but when it comes down to it, they're a pain in the
ass and it's not worth it.

I was at College Park Honda and the guy insisted I buy the car that night
(had only been there 5 minutes).  When I told him we were only LOOKING (mind
you I didn't have my wife with me, so it was *I* that was looking that
night), he insisted he could give me a deal that would make me buy the car
without consulting my wife at all.  I probably told him no about 10 times
and each time he insisted my wife didn't need to be there.  I should have
been honest and told him I didn't really WANT a Honda but that I was there
looking to see if there was something I'd be willing to purchase.  For the
prices they were wanting (not to mention the $1100 "appearance" package
consisting of mud flaps and wheel locks and a  pin stripe), there was no way
I'd buy a Honda, ESPECIALLY the way the guy was harassing me.

I finally purchased another vehicle that I really liked from another
dealership (not a Honda) and he kept calling me so when I called back and
left him a message that I didn't want/need their cars, he kept leaving
messages about how "we have business to discuss" on my answering machine.  I
never called him back (except that one time to say No Thanks) yet he
probably left 5 more messages about this "business to discuss".

In any event, what you experienced is NOT exclusive to Fairfax Honda, though
I was lucky enough to have not given any money to those clowns.
