This is interesting, especially in light of the article posted about Walser automotive and their dealings with the customer whom they are sueing for their mistake.

herb has dealt with that dealership, since he has a chrysler. he has been looking to replace it, and today went to Walser honda to check out an odessey. got a long runaround from the dealer, and then they couldn't set up financing.

he just went to a small, non-chain dealership and found a better van, newer, cleaner, and he could get the financing he wanted.

we now have a silver 2004 odessey keeping my civic company in the garage. i know it's not a great FE vehicle, but it's better than my FSP, which i now may give thought to selling, since we will be able to haul stuff in the van. i hardly ever drive the truck as it is, and have very little use for the four wheel drive here in the city.

one less chrysler on the road!! :D

Congrats Laurie! I'm sure you feel better having 2 Honda's in the garage. I don't think the van would pull a horse trailer though if you still do that.

Sounds like a favorable outcome to me. :)

this is true, mike. however, surprisingly, my FSP won't tow my trailer either. it doesn't have a proper hitch, and i don't think the transmission is well suited to it. if i need my trailer for my one show of the year, i can borrow my ex's chevy truck and use that. the trailer is at his farm anyhow, since he uses it more than i do, to haul his sheep and goats, etc. and yes, the montana sheep joke comes to mind. ;)
