My Review of Courtesy Chrysler Jeep Dodge:
Car shopping is the worst especially under pressure. The last thing anyone wants to do right now in this crappy economy is not take their time in making a large decision dealing with a large purchase/money pit without weighing all the options to only end up making a bad decision over a rusted out s#*@ box. Unfortunately, when dealing with insurance companies nothing will ever be perfect nor will they every give you enough time to find a replacement vehicle, which is why you gotta do your research and know what you want and where to go so you can total your car on Tuesday and have a new (used) car by Friday. This is how I found Courtesy Dodge, a Honda Accord in their used lot for dirt cheap. Matt was the first sales person to approach me, held the door open, and invited me into the air conditioning. After speaking to 4 idiotic salesmen prior to Matt, I was glad to finally get one that listened to me and my situation. Other than it not being ideal for a mom that drives roughly 18k miles a year and it already had 248k, it was a "cute" little car and it had a moonroof!! That sounds very feminine, so let me... in car speak, its a Honda...what else do you want me to say? They are great cars. Just not that one. As I pointed out things that were wrong with the vehicle Matt would come down on the price even though I already thought what they were asking was reasonable and fair.
While sitting in Matt's office, talking about the Honda a new car comes onto the lot off a trade in, a Pontic Vibe. I knew this vehicle, and was one that I had research a little and it had the specific things I was looking for in a used car: low mileage, great fuel economy, affordable, comfortable, safe, in a specific price range (this one ended up being in the price range even with taxes, gap insurance, and extras), spacious, front wheel drive, and cargo area. I test drove it, had my mechanic give it a good bill of health, and made my decision. That was my car and I wanted to buy it, except I had a few minor kinks to work out. While most car sales guys would have told me to give them a call when I got everything worked out and have down payment but then turn around and sell it to somebody else, Matt helped me get into the car I really wanted. He was able to get me into the car that I wanted because he listened to what I wanted, what I was looking for in a car, what I didn't want, my financial situation, and he gave me a reasonable and fair price by comparing to other Vibes in a 300 mile radius from Courtesy Dodge. I left in my new used car feeling very good about my purchase, like I got a great deal, and for once a genuine sales person who sells whats best for his customer not whats best for himself.
