This was absolutely the most hassle free, and believe it or not, fun car buying experience we have ever experienced. We always do diligence before we buy any vehicle, and we always visit several dealers or not, fun car buying experience we have ever experienced. We always do diligence before we buy any vehicle, and we always visit several dealerships to get a feel of each dealerships sales staff, as to try and establish what kind of personality the sales staff has, and also get a feel for how aggressive they might be when it comes time to negotiate a deal. I feel that most consumers really dislike that aspect of car buying, and that is the dreaded negotiating time. Well, we somehow found this dealership while browsing for a Dodge dealership in Southern California near the Los Angeles area, and we decided to take a look at their inventory. Upon browsing their website, we noticed that they have a "price guarantee" and what you see, is the price you pay.................plus fees of course. But their listed prices have all other Dodge dealerships beat. I mean completely beat. I must also state here that we were a bit skeptical with this so called "guaranteed pricing" but thought we'd give them a shot after reading some of the reviews written about them from satisfied customers. But to our surprise, we made an appointment to meet with Fred Latasa, and to test drive a 2011 RAM, and their entire approach is very non confrontational, very casual, and very friendly. You know that feeling when you go to a dealership, and you are trying had to keep your composure, but yet at the same time you always feel the need to keep your guard up, even though you just went to introduce yourselves and only "look/browse" at their inventory? Well, you won't have that kind of feeling or thoughts at all while you are at this dealership. It's simple, you will be introduced to a "specialist" and not a salesman/person who will show you the vehicle you are interested in, ask if you would like to take it for a test drive, and then afterwards introduce you directly to a sales manager, to look at some numbers, and if they make sense for you to buy, that choice is entirely up to the customer,and if you don't like the numbers, you simply walk away. That's it. No name calling or anything, like you may get at a regular dealership when you don't buy from them. I think you all may have experienced dealerships like those I just mentioned. Right? Here there are not a million salesmen/persons jumping all over you, asking you for how much can you afford a month, how much can you put down etc etc etc. The bottom line, I got a deal that no other Dodge dealerships could give us. And believe me, my wife and I did visit quite a few dealerships in the Los Angeles area before we closed a great deal at Orange Coast Dodge of San Juan Capistrano. Fred, the sales manager also gave me "what I wanted" for my trade, and not try to low ball me at all I might add. For all of you who still might be a bit skeptical about this dealership, please do not be. Just go down there and experience this new way of buying a new car, or a used one for that matter, and I guarantee you that you will never, ever, buy from a regular operating dealership again. Get your next new vehicle from Orange Coast Chrysler Jeep Dodge of San Juan Capistrano and you will also be amazed. More
After several unsuccessful attempts to negotiate a deal on a 2011 Wrangler with a well-known San Diego Jeep dealership, we considered waiting and researched the possibility of purchasing a forthcoming 2012 on a 2011 Wrangler with a well-known San Diego Jeep dealership, we considered waiting and researched the possibility of purchasing a forthcoming 2012 model. A quick internet search took us directly to the Orange Coast Chrysler/Jeep dealership's site, and we located no less than five vehicles listed that met our specific requirements. A brief phone call to the Costa Mesa location proved successful - not only did they have the 2012 models on the lot ready to sell, but they had two identical vehicles at the San Juan Capistrano location. Within 10 minutes, we were contacted by Fleet Sales Manager, John Harnett, from the San Juan Cap location, and he confirmed the vehicle availability and the discounted price as listed on the dealership's website. We had already done our research and knew what we wanted, and the price was even better than the 2011 model that came with fewer options. For us, it was a no-brainer. We made an appointment to meet with John on Saturday, and in the meantime, applied for financing through the dealership's online credit link. On Saturday, we met John, and he had the car out and ready for us to test drive. After a quick test drive, and a few minutes finishing the credit app process, we signed papers and drove home in our brand new (gorgeous) Jeep Wrangler. It was, without a doubt, the most painless, stress-free, no regret, car buying process we have ever experienced. We unequivocally recommend Orange Coast Chrysler-Jeep to anyone who is interested in purchasing a great car at a great price. More
