Car buying really can be enjoyable.. Our experience began weeks prior to purchase as we wanted to see the new Alfa Romeo Giulia. At our initial visit we fortunately met our sales speciali Our experience began weeks prior to purchase as we wanted to see the new Alfa Romeo Giulia. At our initial visit we fortunately met our sales specialist, Karifa Mara. He spent time making us comfortable and showing us Giulias. Because the cars were just being introduced, there were not yet a lot of choices in the configuration we wanted. Karifa told us he would contact us when a car was coming that he thought we would like. He did exactly as he said and kept us well informed regarding a car that was arriving and that met our needs. We returned to the dealership to see the car. It was as described and we purchased the Giulia the same day and drove away. The entire process was relaxed and enjoyable. Karifa Mara is a consumate sales specialist. He paid attention to what we wanted and answered our many questions. He has a cordial professional demeanor. On one occasion he did not know an answer, admitted it, and found the answer for us. We developed great confidence in Karifa Mara. We doubt we would have found and purchased the Giulia if it had not been for him. He introduced us to his managers and the service director. Everyone was very cordial. It certainly appeared they enjoyed what they were doing and worked very well together. We received a tour of the service area and even the mechanics said hello and were very friendly. We were very impressed by the entire dealership operation. We feel fortunate to have had such a nice dealership experience and we really like the Giulia. We hope to deal with Karifa Mara again in the future. More

BEST DEALERSHIP EXPERIENCE EVER! Even though we were serious about purchasing a Maserati, we didn't expect to purchase it the same day we test drove this vehicle. In fact, we had two Even though we were serious about purchasing a Maserati, we didn't expect to purchase it the same day we test drove this vehicle. In fact, we had two other car appointments scheduled later that day. However, our experience was simply so overwhelmingly awesome, we left with the car of our dreams the same day. We'd been in the market for about a month and visited many dealerships but as soon as we were greeted by our salesman, Karifa, we knew things would be different. Hands down the best car buying experience from the start to finish -- we absolutely felt like VIPs the entire time even though we weren't buying the most expensive car on the lot. Highly recommended and can't wait to tell others about this experience. More

There was no pressure to purchase, his total focus was ensuring an customer focused buying experience. Everything he said was factual and not exaggerated to influence the sale.
