Joe, Mike, and Scott were very good explaining in detail but not to the point of bordom everything I needed to know. There was no pressure to buy and I felt very comfortable with them. but not to the point of bordom everything I needed to know. There was no pressure to buy and I felt very comfortable with them.

Went in to buy a used BMW 135i I saw on their website, and when I first came in I was greeted by a salesman named Roger. We went outside and checked out the car, and was even kind enough to let me bring t and when I first came in I was greeted by a salesman named Roger. We went outside and checked out the car, and was even kind enough to let me bring the car into the service bay to check it out since it had gotten dark out. Roger was friendly and helpful in answering my questions and was overall a great guy. Then when it came time for the business, we sat down, he had my trade appraised, and we began the negotiation. Them knowing I came from a distance to buy the car, they low balled the crap out of me. I told Roger that these figures were laughable, and presented a counter offer with the intentions of speaking to the manager since obviously it was not him who presented feces on the paper in front of me. Then this is when the experience went down like the Hindenburg, right when I was greeted by this smug guy named Joe DeMarino. When Joe first approached me he wouldn't even sit down because he thought it was "a waste of time." I had to kindly ask him multiple times just to sit down so we could begin a negotiation, and when going over the figures, he'd bring his price down by a few hundred, and expect me to move up a few thousand. He was basically asking me to tell him that I was willing to pay six grand over price for it. I told him it was absolutely ridiculous and that he couldn't possibly manage to broker a deal like this. He said that there was nothing left to talk about and stood up and walked back to his desk without returning with my keys, making me sit there for a good five minutes before I got up myself to go to him and retrieve my keys. During this time, I also found out he was trying to run me several thousand OVER book for the 135i! I would say all of this is shocking to me, but it definitely explained why I was the only customer in the dealership; maybe they were trying to make rent off that sale? I'm sitting here a month later writing this review because I saw the price drop online by a few thousand, and I thought hey that's funny... didn't Joe say that somebody would buy it the next week? The funniest part of it all was that I was willing to spend a few grand, cash/finance/whatever I wanted the xxxx car, but even as it sits there, I'd rather walk to work than listen to that guy try and run train on me again. Absolutely horrible experience from him, but Roger was a great guy. Would not recommend to anyone. More

I’ve been looking for a quality used pickup truck for some time, and had been monitoring the internet for one. I found a used Toyota Tundra at Brian Hoskins Ford. I took a ride down after work one nigh some time, and had been monitoring the internet for one. I found a used Toyota Tundra at Brian Hoskins Ford. I took a ride down after work one night, and was greeted promptly by Matt Lutter at the door. He grabbed the keys, put a plate on the car and sent me on my way (didn’t ride with me either, which I appreciated). During my test drive they evaluated my trade, and when I returned, we sat down and had a brief conversation. Joe DeMarino (used car manager) joined the conversation as well. I left the dealership that night (about one hour of my time) to stop and think. No pressure at all from Matt or Joe. The next afternoon, Matt and I “horse traded” through a couple of calls and nailed the deal down. I arrived at the dealer at 4:15 and left at 4:45 with my new truck. Scott Shandler, their finance manager, had all the paper work started when I got there. All in all, this was the best experience I’ve ever had buying a car. I made the deal as lucrative as possible for the dealership by trading my car, financing through them (at a small premium over what my bank offered) and buying a warranty. They responded with a very aggressive final price. I highly recommend them. More
