5 Star Review on DealerRater -

  • A month before I went down to paragon I was in an accident that totaled my 08 Civic si. I went down to paragon in search of a 2012 si in red just like my old car. After searching many dealerships no one was able to provide a 2012 sedan regardless of color. I went down to paragon and spoke to Kevin only to find out that there were only about 5 of the models I was looking for on the entire east coast. Kevin spent the entire day looking for my car in color that I wanted. He was able to find one about 8 hours away. Paragon went to all the trouble of buying the car off of the other dealership and driving it down. Kevin took a flight up there for me and drove it down personally. He went way above and beyond what I would of expected to provide me with my dream car. - madcutz227

5 Star Review on Yelp -

  • Ever since I was 17 I owned cars that were passed down to me from my family.  I owned a Chevy Cavalier, a Ford Contour, a Ford Escort, and lastly a Suzuki Forenza.  They were all given to me at around 70k miles, excluding the Ford Contour which was at 100k - needless to say that one did not last very long.  

    So my Suzuki died on a Sunday afternoon right before the start of the workweek and I decided that I wasn't going to spend ANOTHER thousand dollars getting the piece of junk working again.  I was already in the repair shop at least once a month for almost 2 years as it was, and the service department at my local dealership knew me by name.  I had enough - it was time to get a brand new car.

    I knew someone who had purchased a car recently and they said they got a pretty good deal on a car at Paragon Honda.  She told me it was a good place to start looking for a car and to shop around since they have both new and used cars.  So I got a ride down the next day and was there around 11ish to begin the search for my new car.  

    First, let me start by saying I generally dislike all salesmen and the sales experience.  I do not like when people try to convince me to buy things, I don't like sales pressure, I don't like being influenced to buy something and I HATE "up-sales".  I just like to shop around alone so that I can make the decision on my own without someone sitting on my shoulders annoying me.  I did not get that pressured feeling here.  The atmosphere was pretty inviting, they let me do my own thing when I asked them to, and they were very helpful in answering my questions when I wanted help. When I asked them to back off so that I can make a decision, they were respectful and courteous and let me walk around on my own.

    They had a pretty nice variety of cars available to look at.  I didn't have very much time to think about what I wanted since my car had just died the previous day, but I was debating on either an Accord or Civic and I wanted it to be black.  I also wanted it for a decent price =).  So the first car I found was a Civic coupe.  It was a gorgeous car.  I asked them if I could test drive one and they said no problem.  I was able to drive it around for a little to get the feel of it.  They even let me take it on a straight-away so I could test how fast it was, although the area isn't exactly a place that you can easily fly around in.

    I came back in and discussed the price with the salesman and a manager and although it was fair, I decided against it.  I wasn't in love with the car, so I kept looking.  Then I saw the 2011 Black Honda Accord V6 on the show room floor.  I instantly fell in love with the look of it.  It was sophisticated looking, had beautiful trim, was black, and was fully loaded (minus navigation).  I asked them if I could test drive it and they said yes.  I took it to the streets and it was exactly as I expected:  fast, smooth, sleek, and a dream to ride.  I had fallen in love with the second car I stepped foot into - I knew that this was what I wanted.

    I pulled to the side and walked in to discuss the price and options.  I felt like I was in control and everything was explained to me in a way that I could understand what I was getting.  I didn't feel pressured and I didn't get that "What does he mean by that?" feeling when negotiating the price and terms.  I just felt comfortable.

    Ultimately, after some back and forth, I decided that I would be leasing the car.  The thought of always having a warranty and being able to get a new car after a few years really sold me.  I don't really care about the cost of buying vs. leasing, which is better, the feeling of "owning" a car, etc. etc.  I just wanted a nice car with the security of knowing that if it breaks or if I get tired of it, I can have it fixed or replaced - and I felt like I had that with leasing.  I went through the finance department and before I knew it, my car was being cleaned, detailed, and pull off the lot for me =).  They had an employee show me all of the features of the car and then handed me the keys.  I was out of there by the early afternoon with a brand new car.  My first brand new car!!

    Overall I am very satisfied with the whole experience.  The people were friendly, the selection was big, the car runs beautifully, and I don't feel like I was taken advantage of.  I definitely recommend coming here if you're interested in buying a car. - Mike M.
