Here is the link for the FREE 40-point inspection.

Check to see if your dealership is offering it. It was kind of stupid, Manchester Honda in Manchester, CT would not honor the offer, they said I needed a coupon. However Liberty Honda in Hartford, CT were very helpful and friendly about it.

No conditons at all.

I bought my car as a project car, and I wanted to know EVERYTHING that was wrong with it. A few of the problems will go away when I do an engine swap. The others aren't so major. The only two that I need to actually be concerned with are the radiator, and the body rot.

vile10 · 04-19-2005, 10:37 AM

yield · 04-19-2005, 11:14 AM

wow, I'm used to dealers raping people on parts and labor but that is the worst I've ever seen.

I hope you won't go back there for any actual service!!

petern101 · 04-19-2005, 11:28 AM

yeah i just signed up for an appointment..........at lute riley i hope they don't find all the stupid crap i.e antennae mast wrong........i mainly want them to check out the abs system light cause i just need to know whats wrong......

and yeah they can suck it if they actually think i'm gonna go to a dealership to fix most of that stuff

PRelude787 · 04-19-2005, 12:54 PM

PRelude787 · 04-19-2005, 08:49 PM

Damn....I went to a Honda dealer closest to me and they tell me that I need an invitation. I ask them how to get an invitation and they say you gotta be on the list. I say how do you get on the list and they say

. I'm gonna call a different dealer.....these guys I went to are just annoying anyway.
