My Review of Paramount Kia Hickory:
We had a wonderful experience at Paramount Kia. We really was not sure if we were going to purchase a new car at this time but after our visit to Paramount Kia and driving a 2012 Kia Soul we were ready to purchase. The whole purchasing process went smoothly and we got to drive our new car home that night. A special thanks to Patrick Butler and the finance department for a great experience. We would recommend Paramount Kia to anyone looking to purchase a car.

My Review of Paramount Kia Hickory:
When I decided to purchase a 2012 Kia Soul, I did a lot of research online and then finally set up an appointment at Paramount Kia in Hickory to take a test drive. I was very impressed with the comfort, peformance, and features of the Soul and decided that it was the car for me. My sales person, Patrick Butler, was very knowledgeable of the Kia Soul and answered all of my questions. He also told me a lot about the Soul that I didn't know already. His knowledge of the car, its features, and options made it even easier for me to make my purchase decision. As we all know, the test drive and demonstration of a new car is the fun part. The 'work' portion of a new car purchase starts when you sit down in the salesman's office and start talking about the numbers. Patrick Butler made this process quite easy and he went over all the numbers in detail with me. We agreed on a price for the car along with my trade-in. I ran into some unexpected problems with the Carfax report on my trade-in during the negotiation process. I needed to stop the progress of my purchase and make some phone calls to sort out those issues. Patrick had no problem with me taking the time I needed to get that sorted out. I felt no pressure of any kind during my visit to Paramount Kia. Before I went to the dealership, I had visited my credit union to set up financing in advance. I got a pretty good interest rate from them, but Paramount Kia negotiated an even better rate for me, so I ended up financing through the dealership instead. I have no complaints at all with this dealership and my experience of purchasing a new car from them. I LOVE my Kia Soul!

My Review of Paramount Kia Hickory:
overall had a very good experience with this dealership and sales person that helped us. Patrick was very helpful and went over all the information with us thoroughly. I used their online per-approval tool and got a response immediately and a phone call from the customer care department withing just a few minutes. The only set back we had was not due to dealer but rather a lender issue and getting the desired interest rate we were hoping to get. The dealer did shop through the lenders and find us the lowest rate possible at the time. After purchasing the vehicle I have received several follow ups from the dealership and paramount kia staff. Paramount kia made the purchasing experience very easy and comfortable and I would recommend them over other kia dealerships that I have dealt with.

My Review of Paramount Kia Hickory:
My wife and I drove 2.5 hours from Raleigh, NC to purchase our 2011 Optima EX from Paramount Kia. We found out they were the only dealer in NC to still have an EX turbo in Satin White. This is such a popular car that there isn't much negotiating when it comes to price, but Paramount still had a better sticker price for this car than a local dealer that we considered. Plus, we were able to use one of the loyalty incentives, and feel we got a good deal. We had spoken with Patrick the night before, and he verifed the Optima was still available. He also suggested we go ahead and do the online financing approval to help move the paperwork along. This was a good idea. We arrived at the dealer around 11:30 that morning and drove our Optima off the lot at 2:00 that afternoon. Patrick had made sure the vehicle was cleaned up, and ready for us to test drive when we arrived. Everything went smoothly, we couldn't we more pleased. Since we have brought the vehicle home, Patrick has already emailed us and called to see if we have any questions and if we are enjoying our new car. I would definitely recommend Paramount Kia and Patrick to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle.
