Reason for Visit: Sales (New)
I recommend this dealer: Yes
My Review of Northstar Chevrolet Inc:
I've bought several new cars and trucks from NorthStar, gotten "THE" best prices in the area without conflict or last minute added costs or figure juggling as I have had with other dealers. I've been buying new vehicles for myslef, family and friends for 40+ years, this is the only dealer that has never tried to turn the screws on the deal to squeeze out more money. Through the years, in the past, I have had absolutely terrible experiences with dealers and sales people. In recent times have always shopped around coming away with a sour sensation, dislike or worse, mistrust. Basically, it all depends on who you get for a salesperson and if the manager is willing to be up front with the deal you want. In order to know where you stand, you also need to do your homework on figures. Perhaps when they see you are serious and know what you are doing they deal with you differently? My experiences with 5 new vehicles from NorthStar has been very positive. The staff (mechanical and sales) are very friendly and accomodating. I am now looking into a new truck or an SUV for myself, having just bought a new Impala for my wife.
I recently tried to talk to Salisbury Chevrolet (before they folded up) as I had heard they were doing poorly. I have had angry disputes with them in the past but sales managers and personnel come and go in the car business so I figured maybe I could help out with a purchase or at least see what the amosphere was. I kid you not, the way I was dealt with was even worse than angry! It is no wonder they were forced to close their doors, only a sucker would buy from people with an "almighty, you need me" attitude. No salesman is worth what they were asking, they simply do not do THAT much work to require an ourageous fee over dealer cost. Now comes the kicker, I sent one nephew over for a new truck and he came back upset because they wouldn't give him any where near the deal I got but he also did not want me to go with him. The other nephew asked for the saleman I had, told him I sent him for the same deal, and he got it...even the same color! He was well satisfied. Once again, it all depends on the salesperson. If they want $600 to 1,000 commission over delaer cost, then you have the wrong "elitist" salesperson. Most of us are just common folks and can barely afford these luxuries of trouble free motoring. let those willing to pay more go to sales people that expect more and "think" they are worth more. Personally, I have to scrape to buy a new vehicle and am not big on throwing money away for someone else to burn on their lifestyle that I am unwilling to support.
My only gripe for NorthStar is that I don't like their waiting room, kinda cool on the floor in winter but I'm not going to complain much because maybe the vehicle price would go up accordingly, haha!
