My Review of Pikes Peak Acura:
Being a female as well as with the negative reputation that car dealers have, I was extremely apprehensive about purchasing a vehicle by myself. While, shopping at other dealerships, I ran into a large number of sales people that completely validated my apprehension. However, I was pleasantly surprised while working with Timothy Cochran at Pike's Peak Acura. If possible, I will always purchase all future vehicles through him and will highly recommend him to any friends looking to purchase a vehicle. My experience is as follows: I was extremely upside down on my lease of a Nissan Pathfinder and was interested in purchasing a Nissan Maxima that they had on the lot. From the first minute I met Timothy, he never gave me a sales pitch or influenced me in any direction. He knew that I had done my research and was an educated consumer so he didn't try to mislead me in any way. The bottom line is that I realistically couldn't afford a Maxima, given my upside down lease situation. Truthfully, Timothy probably could have easily convinced me to purchase the Maxima, which I clearly couldn't afford, in order to get a higher sales commission. Most sales people would have pushed me into a high payment with no regard toward my financial needs. However, he leveled with me and told me based upon my financial requirements, I really couldn't afford it and he'd show me cars in my price range. In the car business, time is money yet he spent 3 late nights letting me drive practically every car on the lot (I knew the test drive route by heart) and never got frustrated with me or made me feel like I was wasting his time. He really took his time to get to know what my needs were as a customer so that he could be the one to find the car that I wanted. On the 4th night, Timothy found a beautiful '03 Honda Accord that exceeded all of my requirements, needs and wants! During negotiations, I truly felt that he was on my side! I know it sounds naive but its absolutely true. I ended up getting a fantastic deal! It's been several weeks since I've purchased my Accord and Timothy still follows up in regard to making sure that all of the stipulations of the deal are met. He didn't just drop me as a customer the minute I signed the papers and drove off the lot. Timothy didn't act like a stereotypical car salesman... he truly EARNED my business from start to finish and I'd highly recommend anyone to go to Pike's Peak Acura and ask for Timothy. In my opinion, you'd be stupid to buy a car from anyone else!
