My Review of Toyota of Southern Maryland:
We found ourselves unexpectedly in the car market after my wife’s car was struck from behind. Thankfully my wife was okay, but the car was a total loss. I wanted to get her in a reliable car in for me was relatively short time. I have a history of taking months to buy a car and I never let myself get pressured. In fact, my reactions to the hard sell it to get up and walk. The “we can’t guarantee it tomorrow” approach gets the “then you won’t be selling me a car” response.
In short order, I narrowed my list down to four cars in my desired price range. The Toyota Camry or Prius were two cars on my list. I met Jason Moritz on my first visit to Toyota of Southern Maryland where I wanted just to do a fit check in Prius. At 6’5” I don’t fit comfortably in all cars. Jason was very pleasant and showed me a Prius and did not push a driving test when I said I was not interested. I took that as a good sign. He was very knowledgeable on the Prius mechanics and options. I walked away impressed.
Over the next two days I looked at other cars on my list and did some additional consumer report type research making sure I was only looking at cars with high reliability ratings. Two additional cars I wanted to look were the Toyota Camry and the Hyundai Sonata both of which were sold at dealership Hyundai / Toyota of Southern Maryland. Jason was able to show my wife and I both cars. Prior to showing up I had buyer service quotes from dealerships associated with my Credit Union. After a late Saturday afternoon test drive in both vehicles, we settled on a Toyota Camry. Again there was no hard sell or pressure as we considered models. Jason provided very objective knowledgeable information throughtout the process. In the end, we settled on a Camry LE and when it came time to negotiate price, I countered first offer with price in line with quotes I already had. Final price was satisfactory without any real hard sell or “low ball” type approach. Jason was a true professional throughout sales process and I would highly recommend him to any friends who enter the market.
