I was in the hunt for a particular used car that is - A Focused Real Story
I was in the hunt for a particular used car that is pretty famous and hard to get in America. I found it listed online, only about 5 or 6 in the color and year I wanted. I called multiple dealers to see if any of their online listings were still around and thankfully spoke with Brian Lagodna about the relatively low-mileage model of the car they had in stock. I agreed I was interested, and I was able to get second on the list (as a buyer was thinking about getting it), but when the buyer decided not to get it, I got a call from Brian that same day and was able to become the buyer! I went down a few days later that week and had a quick meeting with Brian to get the car. He let us go for a quick test drive, let me work on getting my insurance to include it, and was even so nice that he filled the car with the 93 octane gas and had a local paint store person make some of the rare paint needed to help if I ever have gravel/rocks or anything make a mark.
Ryan O'Neill was very helpful and nice to talk to (funny guy!) about the financial side of the purchase. He had emailed me the document showing the cost and breakdown the day before, so we were all set and ready to go quickly. He happens to be a great musician/singer as well (and to be clear, he didn't start the convo, I was just asking him stuff and found out about it all based on my own curiosity!) He let me look up his YouTube and showed me just how good he is - and Brian commented that he was as well, including noting that his songs sometimes come on the radio in town. Long story short, if you see that he has a performance with either of his bands, I encourage you to go, and I may get the chance to drive over to one of the places he performs this year - he was that good!
Glad to have ended up as the deal did. If I were in the hunt for a vehicle again and had to look a bit of distance, I would be glad and happy if it ended up in the hands of Brian and Ryan at Suburban Ford of Troy. Nice guys, a solid deal, and I'm excited about the vehicle I bought.
Good luck if you're on the hunt for a used or new car!
