AI Helped Me Find 400 Cars—But Only One Caleb
So, you know you need a (new-to-you) car. You've got a budget that says “practical” and a few must-haves like “starts when you turn the key.” A couple of nice-to-haves sneak in too—because heated seats feel like a warm hug in February. You plug it all into an AI tool, and boom: 400+ vehicles appear within 50 miles. Suddenly, your search becomes less “wow!” and more “why?”
After a month of virtual shopping, I began meeting used car salespeople IRL. Turns out, unlike the AI, humans have personalities. Some are genuinely helpful; others treat you like a commission check with legs.
By the time I reached Lou Fusz Buick, I had collected more business cards than decisions and was still driving my maybe-I-can-make-it-one-more-week car.
Then came Caleb Rowden.
In under an hour, we met, he listened, we negotiated, and—hold onto your seatbelt—a deal was struck. No pressure tactics, no mysterious “let me check with my manager” routines. Just a straightforward conversation that felt less like a transaction and more like teamwork.
Even after the sale, when I had questions, Caleb was on it—like the kind of friend who actually answers your text instead of liking it and disappearing.
If you're looking for a car and want to skip the quota-chasers, start with Caleb. He’s got character, integrity, and shockingly, isn’t allergic to honesty. Yes, I’m aware I just said that about a car salesman. And no, I haven't lost my grip on reality.
