I’m taking a few minutes to share some of the attributes of Michael Malmsbury, my salesperson at Wilde Honda in Sarasota. When the car I had been driving since 2005 finally expired the daunting task of purc of Michael Malmsbury, my salesperson at Wilde Honda in Sarasota. When the car I had been driving since 2005 finally expired the daunting task of purchasing a new vehicle lay ahead. My idea of dealing with car salesmen was such that when I noted the pending car search on Facebook I included a photo of me reading “the Art of War” by Sun Tzu. My wife Diane and l showed up at Wilde Honda and Michael proceeded to show us the cars we were interested in. He immediately struck me as relaxed and personable, providing my wife and I with the information on each vehicle. As is the case with many husband and wife duo’s we had a game plan going in the door but after we started viewing the cars that plan went right out the window. Michael was up to the task, not needing to play arbiter but rather explaining the pros and cons of each vehicle , checking his cell phone for additional info when needed and allowing Diane and I to come to a decision organically without the tension these situations sometimes initiate. Professional, personable, knowledgeable, Michael Malmsbury was a pleasure to deal with and I can’t believe I’m saying that! - John Young Bradenton More

Best, easiest, and least complicated experience we’ve ever had buying a car!!!! Michael was great! He was easy going, friendly, and knowledgeable. He is not pushy of traditionally salesman-like.

Michael was fabulous!!! He worked with me and was very very nice and NOT acting like the traditional “salesman” type that is pushy and obnoxious. He made sure we got the color and style we wanted and he l very nice and NOT acting like the traditional “salesman” type that is pushy and obnoxious. He made sure we got the color and style we wanted and he literally went the extra mile delivering the car to us and sanitizing it for me (Covid season). He continued working with me on some things even AFTER the sale was made and we had the car. He seems very genuinely nice and caring and is a true delight to work with. He is being saved as a contact in my phone for any future car needs we may have. I’d actually started working with someone else at this dealership and decided to not even buy a Honda because of their attitude and pushiness, we had a down payment on a car at another company when I decided to try someone else at Honda. Michael was able to turn all of that unpleasantness around and leave us with a wonderful car buying experience. Truly 10/10 stars!!!! More

We were referred to Michael by Kevin Allen due to his Honda technology knowledge. We met with Michael a few times as we were deciding which type of car to buy.

This is the third car my wife and I have bought or leased though Wilde using Michael Malmsbury as the sales agent each time. Michael knows the dealership cars inside and out and spent extra time during the sales process explaining options and after the sale going over all the technology interfaces and setting up different commands and iPhone options. Moreover, Michael is always honest during the sales process and eliminates the hassle we previously received at other dealerships. More

I had been looking for a Civic Type R for a long time, but since they're a hot commodity I couldn't find one anywhere in the state that wasn't marking them up. Some dealerships were even asking 7500 over but since they're a hot commodity I couldn't find one anywhere in the state that wasn't marking them up. Some dealerships were even asking 7500 over MSRP for the car. I saw a listing on Autotrader for a new type R at Wilde Honda and called them up and spoke with Michael. He told me that they were willing to sell the car at MSRP which was fantastic! That being said, there were 4 other interested buyers that also were trying to buy the same car. Michael was superb in communicating with me through the whole car buying process and working with me to get as many documents and items handled via email or text so that it would minimize my time at the dealership. Furthermore, he made sure that the other buyers didn't jump the line and get the car that I had been waiting so long for. Michael was very courteous, knowledgeable, and didn't try to push me at any stage of the purchase. I had to drive to the dealership from 3 hours away and because of work constraints, I got there with only 30 minutes left before closing. Michael stayed with me 2 hours past closing making sure I was taken care of and helped me clean out my trade in and get my new car all set up. He continued to follow up with me and made the experience very smooth and easy. I would recommend working with Michael to anyone. More

Jim Timpson Knows His Hondas Inside And Out Just last year I had an excellent experience with Jim when buying a new Accord for my wife to drive. When my 20+ year-old Civic died a few days ago, I Just last year I had an excellent experience with Jim when buying a new Accord for my wife to drive. When my 20+ year-old Civic died a few days ago, I knew Jim was the exact person I needed to contact when looking for a new vehicle. I described to him specifically what I required, and he had the immediate answers I was looking for. He found the exact vehicle I needed and delivered it to me the same day. Raphael Carlisi helped me get a great rate and made the entire financing process so simple. I truly appreciate the efforts made by both men to get me back on the road so fast. I love my new Honda Fit! More

I needed to pair my new phone to my car. I am not a tech person do I perceived this as a difficult task. Instead of Michael just pairing the phone himself he walked me through the steps and I actually pair person do I perceived this as a difficult task. Instead of Michael just pairing the phone himself he walked me through the steps and I actually paired the phone. He was very patient with me which I appreciated. He also showed me some phone-related features that I was not aware of. Then he had me make a phone call using these new features. He really made me learn by actually doing. I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone buying a car because he actually cares about the buyer. More
