Just returned from going to pick up our Ody but alas we came back in our own car. After reading the posts on other threads I was careful to take note of the paint-job.
The driver's side sliding door was marred by several dark "swirls" beneath the clear-coat. It looked as if someone had tried to correct a base-coat defect with very poor results. This defect was so obvious it should never have escaped Honda's QC at the factory. (I suspect it didn't, but they ship'em and know they hold the cards if you accept.)
After reading the thread concerning "Major Paint Problem" and how Honda has avoided helping this consumer, we're probably out of the Honda market.
The difficult part is that this vehicle really is head and shoulders above the competition in it's class in value and functionality. I'm not sure what we will end up with but it won't be this Ody anyway.
This board surely helped me by ensuring I closely inspected this vehicle. Thanks for all of your help.
