He was warm and accommodating. We started feeling uncomfortable when we were dealing with the finance manager. Since we had all of our accounts frozen, it took time to work through each institution he was checking for the best finance rate. When the papers were signed and it came to the portion of selling us the extended warranty was when he became rude and it was like a ice curtain had dropped in the room. I will never deal with him again. More
