New stablemate

ljaviation · 04-24-2005, 05:42 PM

I traded in my '05 Honda Civic with 4000 miles for the new '05 Baja. I found the Honda was repainted on the entire driver's side quarter panel, damage which was not disclosed during purchase, and after a run around with American Honda customer service reps, I was told they would continue to repaint my brand new car until I was satisfied. I will scan and post this unbelieveable letter from Honda which states they are sorry, but they feel they they have done nothing wrong. A definate case of buyer beware.
Anyway........ a pic of my WRX's new stablemate.

I have always had success with Honda products and enjoyed their reliability, and fuel economy, but for this reason, will never buy a Honda again.
Scanned letter from American Honda customer service to be up soon.

Turbo W/O leather. I use the Baja for work/ everyday and I couldn't justify leather. Just installed the factory mudflaps today.

Lou,
Nice. I remember talking to you about Bajas when I picked up the wrx seats a couple of months ago....Good to see that you've got one.

I think I might be joining the club myself this fall (it's still a tossup between the BT and LGT).

...'grats on the Baja, they're fun little car truck things!!
