Reason for Visit: Sales (Used)

My Review of Taylors Auto Max:
For several weeks I did a lot of research on the Internet and in person at multiple dealerships looking for a new or lightly used pickup truck. After selecting several candidates, I started contacting dealers with offers. Even though I live 550 miles from Taylor's Automax, I was willing to go that far if the terms were right and they were honest and up-front with me.
I exchanged a couple of e-mails with Taylor's Earl Brewer, then called and talked with Scott DeBrae (Earl was off for several days). Scott was very friendly and very helpful. He focused on answering my questions completely and honestly, and didn't try any sales tactics, which, after 30 years of buying cars, I would have immediately recognized. I gave an offer, and, after a short negotiation process, we agreed on a price. I said I wanted to know the "out the door" price, with no fees or costs added later. There were none.
I rented a car one-way and travelled to Great Falls, Montana with my wife (which made the trip more pleasant), but I was determined to walk away from the deal and drive back home if anything at all was different from what we had agreed on in our conversations, or if the truck was different from what had been represented. Nothing was different. It was the best vehicle buying experience I have ever had. Thanks, Scott and Earl!
I'm sure the fact that I offered a fair price to begin with, rather than trying to somehow talk them in to a low-ball offer, helped. Dealers are entitled to make a reasonable profit for the services they provide. However, it's not unusual to find dealers that have a list of tactics they go through to try and increase their profit margin unreasonably, including in the business office "just doing the paperwork" after you think the deal is final. I got none of that from Scott or Earl. I would buy from them again in a heartbeat, and I highly recommend you check them out, even if you have to travel. They will even pick you up at the airport, if you want to fly.
