I was in the market for a larger SUV after my 4Runner was - robin.newton929
I was in the market for a larger SUV after my 4Runner was totaled. We live out of state and were visiting family in Vancouver Wa, when we drove by a massive Dick Hannah dealer, and a Nissan Armada caught my eye. We stopped and took a quick look (after shopping around a bit) and I had made up my mind. We started searching the inventory online here at Dick Hannah Jeep, and found the same car, a year newer, my favorite car color, and a better price! We did some research, discussed and compared to other SUVs we considered, and decided on the Armada. We drove down to Dick Hannah Jeep a day later, and a wonderful gentleman named Bill was at our service within minutes! I told him what I had my eye on, he looked it up and it was at one of their other lots 20 minutes away. He drove us to it, and there she was, front and center, waiting for me! Haha! We fired it up, and Bill insisted (it didn’t take much convincing) I take it for a test drive. So I drove us back from that lot to Dick Hanna Jeep where we started (my hubby in the back, and Bill in the passenger- he only hit the imaginary brake twice -yes Bill, I saw that! 😂) and I was sold! I had to have it. Before we went inside, he had us park under the service area carport because it was dark outside, and he wanted to be sure we could inspect everything up, down and inside out. He even pointed out a couple of blemishes we didn’t see (honesty is everything!). We walked in the building where we were offered hot coffee which was perfect on a cold evening with lots of paperwork ahead, and we were welcomed by their finance team as well. We needed to finance part of the purchase and knowing we aren’t in the greatest credit situation for a car loan (my old car was totaled- this was unplanned otherwise), we shared that, and they said not to worry, we’ll figure it out! And they absolutely did!! They were able to find us a loan at a manageable interest rate (remember, not in the best credit place) and get me into my dream car I never knew I wanted!!! We had some hiccups with our personal bank throughout the process and Bill and his team were so gracious and understanding when it took a little longer than we anticipated to work out some kinks. But we did it!!! These folks at Dick Hannah Jeep are outstanding. They’re not just “car salesmen”, they’re people, with families and lives, and stories to share. We heard a few of them 😊 They have a job to do, but they’re real. That was the best part. We never felt pressured. Never felt rushed. And they were all on our side! These folks are great. We live 600 miles away (talk about a real test drive home!!) and I would travel back to Vancouver to see them for my next vehicle. Thanks again, Bill for making this unexpected, exciting, and chaotic experience a fantastic one!! We plan to stop and say hello next time we visit! I feel like we’re friends now 😆
