As shocking as it may seem I would like to recommend a car salesperson to anyone in the network who is looking to buy or lease a car.   Before I met Joe Barca I used to dread meeting and dealing with car salespeople.  Leasing a car used to be one of the most unpleasant purchasing experiences.   Fortunately , I met Joe and I no longer have to deal with fast talking, aggressive, and deceptive salespeople.

Joe Barca from BayRidge Honda, in Brooklyn NY, is a straight forward, pleasant and dare I say honest person.   I have leased two cars in the last 3 years from Joe and my experience has been very positive each time.  Given my profession, I like to calculated my own lease payment independent of the dealer.   Joe sits down with me and walks me through every single lease component  including MSRP, dealer cost, promotional discounts, residual %, and money factor.  We pour over the numbers until I am satisfied.  During my last lease, after we agreed on a lease payment number Joe found out that the money factor (interest rate) decreased and re-ran the numbers so that I had a lower payment.  He could have easily remained silent and not tell me about the reduced rate.

I highly recommend that you call Joe if you are interested in buying or leasing a Honda.

The reason I am sending out this email is not to help Joe but rather to help my fellow Gothamites.

Joe Barca  can be reached at 718-836-4600.  BayRidge Honda 8801 Fourth Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11209.
