Recent Purchase of 2015 Sonata Sport Chris "Recent Purchase of a 2015 Hyundai Sonata Sport" Prior to going to the dealership, I visited their website. During my search, I saw a 2015 Chris "Recent Purchase of a 2015 Hyundai Sonata Sport" Prior to going to the dealership, I visited their website. During my search, I saw a 2015 Sonata Sport that possibly fit my price range and had what I was looking for. I sent an email inquiring about the car and the price. Within an hour, I got a call and email from Adam Novik. He wanted to get a little more information from me about what I was looking for and my possible trade in. During our conversation, I explained to Adam that I had been to other dealerships and had several offers made. I also explained to Adam that I had just had a really bad bad experience with a dealership attempting to pull a bait and switch. Adam listened and said he was truly sorry for my bad experience. Adam assured me that Dean Team does not engage in that type of practice and that if a deal could be made or not, they would be fair and respectful of my time. So, as a result of the conversation, I made an appointment to go in around 12:30 that day (12/20/14). Once I arrived around 12:30, I walked in and was greeted by a variety of employees. They asked how they could assist me. I informed them that I was there to see Adam Novik. Adam immediately came out, shook hand and introduced me to Ben French (Sales Consultant). I explained to Ben the car I was interested in and what I was possibly trading in. I also explained to Ben that my time was valuable and that I had a very bad experience with another dealership. Ben listened and assured me that everything would be straight-forward. After making sure he knew the car I was interested in, we sat down gathered the usual information and began the negotiation process. After about an hour or less, we looked at several options for trade in and payment plans that I was interested in. Ben went and spoke with Adam and Scott about what I was looking for in regards to payment and trade in value. Within about another 30 minutes, we came to an agreement that could make the deal work, if the interest rate was right. At this point, this is where Scott Varnum came in. After about an hour or so, Scott and I discussed terms, interest rates and monthly payment. This process took about another 30 minutes. During our negotiations, Scott was honest, respectful and worked with me to come up with a deal that worked for my budget. Finally, after the papers were signed, Scott asked Ben to make sure that I met everyone in their service department. Each person that I was introduced to was very friendly and demonstrated the Dean Team family environment that I heard about from other customers. I can say from beginning to end, the process was positive, friendly and fair. More

"Great experience after 12 years without a car payment" Well, it had been 12 years since I bought a car and 10 years without a car payment. Ben French did a great job dealing with me over a 5 day period. Well, it had been 12 years since I bought a car and 10 years without a car payment. Ben French did a great job dealing with me over a 5 day period. I am not an easy sale, I know that, but Ben answered all of my questions and worked with me through the whole process. The Dean Team put together a very competitive package which included working with the price of the car, a few trinkets for the car, and a very competitive financial package. All & all, it was a smooth transaction and I am very comfortable recommending the Dean Team for your next car purchase. I also highly recommend you talk with Ben French when that time comes. EVERYONE I worked with was very professional and as I said before, they addressed any questions I had. I look forward to dealing with the Dean Team for my service needs. More
