Best Car Buying Experince Ever I have purchased 12 vehicles, 6 new and 6 used, in my "car buying career". I have bought cars at dealerships in Beaverton, Portland, and Salem. My S I have purchased 12 vehicles, 6 new and 6 used, in my "car buying career". I have bought cars at dealerships in Beaverton, Portland, and Salem. My Son and I just purchased a certified-used Kia Forte Koup at Power Kia in Salem, OR today, and it was the best car-buying experience I have ever had. There was a variety of great quality, competitively-priced used cars on the lot (Market at I5 in Salem). Nice facility and friendly, helpful staff. The whole process was hassle-free. We told Dwayne Shaver our financial guidelines and he quickly identified the the perfect car available. They worked up the paperwork while my Son and I grabbed a quick lunch at the Newport Seafood Grill (just a minute away). I was impressed by one Sales Consultant (Jim Roden) who, though not involved in our purchase, took the time to congratulate my Son on his purchase and shared some words of wisdom regarding how to improve his credit rating. David Becken, the Finance Manager, completed the signing process with us in a very efficient and orderly manner. He quickly explained each document and made the process simple for us. Overall, we are very pleased with the financing they were able to arrange for us. I highly recommend this dealership, and hope you give them a try and experience the "Best Car Buying Experience Ever!" Jim - Keizer More

Not treated well My husband went to Power Kia to trade in his truck. The first truck he test drove dies on him, the second one he wanted wouldn't start. The third one My husband went to Power Kia to trade in his truck. The first truck he test drove dies on him, the second one he wanted wouldn't start. The third one he liked and asked to make a deal. He told them he only wanted to go through his own credit union and no deal if they couldn't. They said they could make it happen and he left with the new (used) truck. Two days later the new truck started to to have transmission problems, so he called them and they said to bring it in. My husband had to leave town on a trip so I took it in, and they gave me a loaner car (note that his car also had mechanical issues...) Two days later my husband called me to say that Power had called to say the financing had not gone through. I took the loaner car back and they pulled up the old (05 Dodge) truck. It then died as it sat there. I was shocked as it had never done this. It had a few other things that needed work, but had never done this. They said they would have someone come over and jump start it. When an older guy came out to ask what was wrong and I told him the story. When I said it hadn't ever done this, he got defensive and then told me it took them a half an hour to get it to started before I got there. He then said I shouldn't try to jump it and drive it home because it wasn't safe. (So they were fine with me doing that before it died??? and had to ask what was wrong first, THEN told me they had problems starting it???) I understand how a part can fail at any moment but I felt a little jerked around and they were not honest from the beginning. When I went in to ask for a ride home, the I asked the guy why he didn't tell me the truth to start with and played dumb when he came out to see me - he said he just didn't know, and said we will do whatever you want with it... what??? They gave me a ride home, and I called a tow truck for the Dodge. I then called (Larry) to tell him they were on their way and asked if there had been any personal belongings left in the other truck. He said they would keep that truck locked up tight and that my husband had to sign something when he got back, and could pick them up then, When my husband got home, he had letter from 4 different banks where they had tried to get credit. FOUR... (not their fault that he didn't qualify, but he had asked to only check with his bank) When my husband went to get his things, there wasn't anything to sign, and all of the stuff has been thrown in a box - wet. CD's and other personal belongings were at the bottom, and on top were items from the bed of the truck. More
