Acura Owner Stories - Around The World With My Acura

Around The World With My Acura

In October 2010, I will have owned my Acura Integra LS for 20 years, and during that time, I traveled the world as a career Navy officer. Little did I know that the car I bought new as a Lieutenant would continue on “active duty” long after I retired as a Captain!

My Acura has been like a trusty shipmate – always reliable, dependable, and fun to be with. From Hawaii where I first bought the car, up and down the East & West coasts of the U.S., and throughout Europe, my Acura has never let me down. It has crossed California deserts in the heat of summer, and ascended the highest roadways in the Alps in blizzards; it has survived the daily grind of Washington DC rush hour traffic, and kept pace with Mercedes and BMWs on the Autobahn. It has taken my wife and me on some of our most memorable vacations, from Sierra ski resorts to Mediterranean beaches; from world-class cities to quaint European villages; from the serene Napa wine country to Munich’s rollicking beer gardens. To repeat a familiar phrase, my Acura has “been there, done that,” and it just keeps on going after 175,000 miles. And it still passes California’s emissions test, one of the strictest in the country.

Moreover, it looks as great as the day I bought it, both inside and out. Even now, after 20 years, people are stunned that the original paint still looks brilliant. Strangers have approached me and asked to buy my car, as have valet parking attendants and even my Acura Service Manager, as recently as last month. I’m in no hurry to sell it, of course, but if that day ever comes, you can be sure I’ll be looking for another Acura to drive for the next 20+ years! Thanks for making a superior car, and for all the great memories!

Keep up the great work Joe!

5 Star Review on DealerRater -

"I've been with Joe Rosa and Paragon since 2008 and I will not go anywhere else! The entire team there is great and when I walk in I feel like family! Very honest financial management, they actually help you rather than try to take advantage of you like most dealerships. I work in hotels so I know the importance of great customer service, Joe Rosa is a professional who provides personal service! Thanks for all your help!" - docasio1

Marvel Recruits S.H.I.E.L.D. Fans with Acura

Image

Ever wonder who brings together Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, the Incredible Hulk, and all the rest together to form the Avengers?  (And don’t say it was the writers at Disney-owned Marvel Comics.)

It was, of course, S.H.I.E.L.D., a secret government organization. And now fans can join.

Marvel will be using S.H.I.E.L.D. at the massive annual Comic-Con comic book convention in San Diego to drum up interest in the film Captain America: The First Avenger, which debuts right smack in the middle of Comic-Con (taking place July 20-24th) as well as The Avengers, which doesn’t come out till 2012.

 

The key to this is letting any of the show’s 150,000 attendees sign up to be part of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Those who can't be in San Diego can visit JoinSHIELD.com, which is sponsored by Acura, which also sponsored Marvel's Thor. Additionally, “actual set pieces from the movie (will be) placed on the show floor as part of a faux-security and recruiting station for S.H.I.E.L.D.,” according to FirstShowing.com.

Some of the film’s stars (and the movie features such folks as Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo) are scheduled to appear at the convention to stir up fan enthusiasm as well.

S.H.I.E.L.D. recruiting vehicles (Acuras, natch) will be around San Diego to snag any stray conventiongoer who misses the marketing push happening with the convention’s walls.

Check out these three positive reviews. Keep up the great work team!

Three positve reviews on DealerRater -

 

  1. While looking for an Acura MDX 2008 I was sent an email stating that they had the exact model and color that I was looking for. My sales consultants name was Michael Cuffy he went above and beyond getting my vehicle ready to my liking. He made the buying experience less stressful as he promised that some of the imperfections that I saw on the vehicle would be taken care of and it was. He was great keeping me informed of the progress and returned my messages promptly. I would highly recommend this sales consultant. I was also very impressed with Wendy Deshais Delivery Manager. She sat down with me in the vehicle and instructed me on how to use the many features of my MDX. She was extremely knowledgable and very pleasant. All in all my experience at Paragon Acura was a positive one. Thanks

  2. I'm a Acura fan i love the brand so I and my grandpa went to the best dealer i could think Paragon Acura, when we got there they gave us a nice welcome thats really important cause that show they care about their costumers so we meet Jose an awesome guy, he really made everything goes nice and easy he was a friend during all the process of getting my new car, also Reginald was very helpful also cool guy (if you need to know every little detail of your Acura he is the guy) the process took a little bit long i think thats normal but the waiting was worth or should i say is worth. Im really happy with the deal i get and now i can enjoy my new baby Thanks Paragon Acura and thanks Jose for all your help.
  3. I walked in without a appointment and was taken care of on the spot. I told them what I had to spend and after some time my price was meet. i was given a good deal on my trade. Also a great price on the new Acura TL 2012. The whole buying experience was pleasent. I drove out with the car in a few hours time. I dealt there before but I am really pleased as the staffs the best. I do recommend this dealership to all.

A wagon has never had an engine like this before! Check out the 2011 TSX Sport Wagon at Paragon Acura!

Paragon Acura received three outstanding reviews this weekend. Way to go team!

Paragon Acura exceeded my expectation. I previously had a horrible experience with Paragon Honda in the past so I didnt know what to expect. Actually I was expecting the worst. What I got surprised me. I first spoke with a Vicky Dominquez(internet sales) and she couldnt be any friendlier. She answered all my questions and refered me to Camilo Barrientos. He turned out to be the most knowledgeable, honest, reliable and friendliest sales person I've met and could not be happier with my overall experience. Both Vicky and Camilo went out of their way to accomodate my needs in the purchase of a used 2008 Acura TL to ensure it was safe and reliable before picking up. Furthermore, they beat all competitors in terms of price. I already referred multiple people to this dealership and will be sending many more there way. Buying a Car is usually a headache and time consuming. Thats why I want to thank them again for a great experience of making this stress free and look forward to my next purchase!

We had an excellent experience at Paragon Acura. We have had bad experiences in the past when buying a car and were expecting more of the same. We had been promised the vehicle we wanted at a Long Island dealership, where we live, only to show up and be told that they did not have the auto. We called Paragon and they advised they would have our exact vehicle coming in the next day. They even quoted us a price that was below the price we were going to pay closer to home. We met our sales manager, Rob Salameh, and he offered the deal as expressed in our phone conversation. He advised us that the vehicle would be in later that day. Rob called us later that afternoon and advised that we could pick up the car at 5PM. We arrived at the dealership and found our new auto waiting out front with our plates already on it. We met with the financial consultant, Michael Francis, who advised us of our payment and accesory options. We came to a financial conclusion that we were very comfortable with. Finally, Reginald Vanwroten took us to our new ride and showed us how to operate all of the functions in the vehicle. He even programmed the vehicle to recognize our cell phones for blue tooth capability and set the navigation system for "HOME". Everyone we dealt with at Paragon treated us in a friendly and professional manner. We kept waiting for the bad experience to start and it never did. We both highly recommend this dealership and these employees to anyone looking to buy an Acura. It was a little farther away from home, but it was more than worth the effort. Happy motoring.

I recently got a car from Paragon Acura. The customer service was great and my salesman Roby was very helful. He helped me with any questions that I had. The staff is very courteous and willing to go out of their way to help you. Roby was very friendly and definitely made my shopping experience at Acura great. The General Manager Sasha Kekovic was also helpful. I will definitely refer Roby to any friends/family that are interested in purchasing an Acura.
