Great dealership! The car salesmen were respectful and helpful; they knew what I wanted in a car and helped me with the whole process, it was pretty simple.

Vinny... My Vote for Salesman of The Month(s) I was in the market for a truck... I spent two months researching price, features, 'after-term' value retention. I then took to the internet searching I was in the market for a truck... I spent two months researching price, features, 'after-term' value retention. I then took to the internet searching for a VERY specific vehicle to match my needs (for my first vehicle purchase of $50+, I couldn't afford a mistake)... I found myself at 5 different dealerships throughout my journey. d1) Bradenton- 'un-named' - i was a repeat customer, and treated horribly. Lured in by an 'advertised price' on a new vehicle. I qualified for all the rebates, yet somehow, each price quote provided from the 'sales manager' went UP! in price and costs and fees... 4th offer "Great News, we can sell you the truck at the originally advertised price"... d2) Dealer #2... I visited, found a truck, negotiated a number, I was told 'No Worries - we'll hold the truck until tomorrow... I went home, prepared paperwork. Next morning the salesman called to tell me that they sold the vehicle to another customer (who happens to be a fleet customer)... But "We can sell you this other truck with twice as much mileage and 3 times more wear for the exact same deal..." d3) Dealers #3... Visited, inspected vehicle, negotiated trade and price of sale... i took 2 days to research the vehicle history since it was from up north... during the 2 days, the dealer decided they were selling the vehicle too cheap and refused to assist with financing and insisted i find it on my own... OF WHICH I DID... only to find out they were attempting to dealer-trade the vehicle because it was a "better deal" d4) Dealer #4... simply not willing or interested in searching for the vehicle... D5) SARASOTA FORD - VINNY To avoid the controversy, I'll keep the vehicle brands out of it... I arrived very burned and disappointed by the other 4 dealer experiences... Vinny was very professional and straight forward... If something was a possibility, he made the efforts for it to happen. If something was 'out-of-the-question', he was honest, upfront, and stated so... Buying a vehicle from Vinny was a VERY refreshing experience. He was honest, upfront, reasonably accessible, and sincere... Vinny may not realize (until now)... but he will have several more heading his way... Keep up the good work Vinny and Sarasota Ford More

New Truck Purchase JR Was a great salesman to deal with. Very polite and was trying to find me the truck I wanted, not what he needed to sale. Randy the Sales Manager wa JR Was a great salesman to deal with. Very polite and was trying to find me the truck I wanted, not what he needed to sale. Randy the Sales Manager was involved and was always making sure we were happy and having a good experience. After leaving and purchasing my new truck I felt like I had made new friends also. Would recommend this team to anyone needing a vehicle. More
