Ladies and gentlemen, we are coming into the home stretch of this amazing project and all final details will be buttoned up over the next 3 weeks.  This new dealership is turning out phenomenally and will be the largest, most state of the art new Honda facility in the Pittsburgh Region and further.  Recent accomplishments have been:  All drywall hanging and painting, HVAC system completion, all drop ceiling and lighting installed, security system and camera installation, all exterior finishes completed or near completion, pouring of concrete display pads, final glass/ window/ door installation, and more.  Final details to be addressed in the next 2 weeks or so will be:  Main brand signage being moved/ installed, finishing layer of asphalt/ tar and chip/ line painting/ decorative concrete bases, car wash installation, final touches on Speed Shop Accessory Display Area/ Children's Play Area/ Customer Lounge, flooring completion, and entire dealership landscaping.   I would like to thank all of our local contractors, primarily out of the Butler, Cranberry, and North Pittsburgh areas, as well as Meadville, Saegertown, and Conneaut Lake, Pa, for their professionalism during this project.

During and after all this is completed comes the minor detail of physically moving an entire car dealership and all of its contents.  Some items will be easier than others.  Picking up a PC and a desk blotter, not that bad.  Picking up and moving an alignment rack capable of holding a 8000 lb. vehicle, as well as air compressors, brake machines, and an entire Parts Department with over 20,000 parts, not quite as easy.  We're particularly looking forward to this week or two of total chaos, while needing to sell and service cars in the meantime.  I can only hope for the "activity breeds activity" assumption and that many will come to check out our new home.  The timing of this whole project could not be better for many reasons.  Automobile sales for Honda and Used Vehicles are very strong and we have had many instances of being at capacity in our existing facility, which is only 6 years old.  We have outgrown our Service and Parts facilities as well and welcome the new 16 stall Service Center and increased Parts Department space to better service our customers.  Accompanied with higher volume of Sales and Service is the need for more people and more space.  Volume has fluctuated considerably over the past year of very interesting times, but overall we continue to grow at a controlled rate.  New Vehicle Sales this year should top 1000 and Used Vehicle Sales over 700. 

On behalf of the owners of Honda North in Butler, Pa, please allow me to thank you for your support and consideration from the bottom of my heart.  Our customers are the greatest on the planet and are the reason why we exist today.  We appreciate your following our updates and thank you for your feedback.  Please continue to keep an eye on our blog, as well as follow our activity and updates on Facebook and Twitter. 

We look forward to a very bright future with you.

Very best,

The new Honda North on in Butler, Pa is continuing at a beautiful rate.  The progress once enclosed has been amazing.  Associated Contractors of Conneaut Lake, Pa has once again continued to impress.  Within the past week, all cement has been poured for the showroom and office areas, as well as the entire front office structure framing completed and erected. It's fascinating to see the whole project continue to take shape and the flow of the operations now visible.  Soon the customer service drive, shop floor, and indoor delivery area floors will be poured in Earthen colored concrete and all bases will be completed.

Every once in awhile we come across something special within the automotive world.  Sometimes in the form of an exceptionally low mileage vehicle, sometimes a vehicle cleaner than anything that you would expect to find, sometimes it's just a really rare, hot, hot car.  Our latest feature here at Honda North (www.hondanorth.net) comes to us as a vehicle of which only a handful can be found in the country, and it is as hot as they come.  Mercedes Benz AG offers rare models that are Handcrafted by a special supplier called AMG.  Only a select few Mercedes Benz models are lucky enough to be blessed with the AMG upgrades and are known for their rarity and performance worldwide.

When I first started selling Mercedes Benz 13 years ago, I saw my first AMG model and my jaw dropped.  This particular car was a 1996 Mercedes Benz C43 AMG and was on order by a friend of the dealership, Bill Campbell of Campbell's soup.  Honda North is honored to have a larger sibling to this car, 9 years newer and much stronger than it's predecessor.  Not only are we extremely pleased to be able to offer this vehicle to one lucky individual, but are able to offer it at a fantastic value.  This car had a window sticker of over $57,000.  We are offering it with 19k low miles for under $29,000.  Details below.  Thanks for looking.

Kelley Blue Book has recently awarded American Honda two (2) major accomplishments for 2009; Best Resale Value and Best Brand.  Kelley Blue Book researched all automotive manufactures and Honda clearly stands out among the other auto manufacturers in terms of quality.  Factoring into Kelley Blue Book's decision are such areas as: Overall quality, Resale Value/ Depreciation, Maintenance costs over a 5 year period, and Fuel Economy.  Honda has long been recognized for building quality, fuel efficient automobiles and the vehicles that Honda is producing today are the best vehicles ever built.  Thank you Kelley Blue Book for such a wonderful honor!

 From KBB.com.....

Only two years removed from its last “Best Brand” title in our annual Best Resale Value Awards, Honda has again taken top honors. The importance of quality is magnified in the eyes of a used car buyer, and Honda’s reputation for delivering well-built, reliable, dependable automobiles is well earned and well known. Fuel efficiency is another Honda hallmark, and another attribute likely to get greater attention from buyers seeking added value in the used car market. Sales leaders like the Accord and Civic might be the first vehicles that come to mind when thinking about Honda and resale values, but those industry stalwarts are backed by an entire fleet of vehicles that continually prove more resilient in regards to resale value than most—sometimes all—of their competitors.
