The following advertisement is a paid promotion for Gallatin County Honda
Presidents Day is right around the corner, and that means the inventory of Pre-Owned vehicles at Gallatin County Honda is ready for you to drive off the lot. The prices have never been lower on used Civics, Accords, and Honda Ridgelines.
Just follow Route 3, past the jail, up into Shawneetown Hills. Give yourself plenty of time—the road can be unreliable this time of year.
But what’s not unreliable is a Honda Certified used vehicle. Each Honda Certified vehicle at Gallatin County Honda is checked for performance and quality and comes with the peace of mind of a brand-new Powertrain Warranty.
Yes, peace of mind.
When you turn and look back, and the Ohio River is only a gray, crooked finger, you’ll know you’re close to Gallatin County Honda. See! The birds at wing, blackening the sky. Hear! The bells of our no-haggle Sales Servants, making sure you don’t leave without the Honda of your dreams.
Honda has consistently rated top in customer satisfaction by JD Power and Associates, and when you drive into Shawneetown Hills Township, you’ll feel that satisfaction come to life:
It’s Mr. Mercator, in the black hat and coat, owner of The Illini General Store. You should wave to him; he’s looking right at you. He drives a 2023 all-wheel drive Honda CR-V. It’s perfect for navigating the narrow trails into the heart of the woods.
And there’s Eleanor Slynt, standing in the doorway of the Historic Society building. Don’t worry, she’s not being rude, she just covers her face with her hands to hide that birthmark. She’s quite lovely if you get to know her, and she got a lovely deal on a 2019 Honda Fit from Reverend Buncombe and the Sales Servants at Gallatin County Honda.

Ah! Do you hear the bells, stranger? It will soon be your turn to make a deal.
Gallatin County Honda is just past the crossroads on Plaster Street. Turn right at the Gas-Mart and painted effigy. Behind the rows of Hondas we will wait.
Stop in and see Damian at the Service Department. Sate your thirst in his waiting area and take a seat. Touch the armrests. So soft, so tender. That’s premium-grain leather, just like you’ll find in the 2026 Accord Touring Hybrid package. Charge your phone and watch The View. When you’re ready, my Sales Servants are anxious to show you our inventory.
Walk down the Hall of Grace and bear witness to His blessings: the flash of a 1989 Honda Silver Service Award, photos and pennants, key fobs, a Southern Illinois Customer Choice certificate—too many, too many. These deals won’t last forever.
It screams behind plexiglass: the 1982 Founder’s Circle memorial, familiar names carved in brass: Reverend Rankin Buncombe – General Manager, Damian Lovey – Parts Department, Levi Mercator – Beekeeper, Eleanor Slynt – Finance Manager. Another name, scratched out by… tiny talon marks. Was that the readle-song of a grackle, or the sigh of the showroom doors as they open? The Cars.com Dealer of the Year Award has no answers, only the memories of great customer service.

You could turn back now—but why would you, when your peace of mind lies behind the wheel of a Certified Pre-Owned Honda?
Confess your desires to the General Manager, stranger. What trim package lurks in the depths of your soul? Do you long to look up and see the febrile birds through a one-touch, power, panoramic moonroof? Have you considered a hybrid?
Good… good. Follow us to the finance office, stranger. Let’s review your credit check.
Ah…
Did you lie on the on-line questionnaire?

Wait! Listen…
We can hear it, can you? The jingle! Sing it with us, sinner!
With prices this low and the Dark Flock so high, come to—
Gallatin County Honda
