I bought a 2023 K5 from this dealer in December 2014, and felt it was a positive experience overall. The sales representatives were non pressure and informative about their products. It felt easy to pull the felt it was a positive experience overall. The sales representatives were non pressure and informative about their products. It felt easy to pull the trigger after test driving, seeing what you get for the price and I wasted no time and put a deposit the same day. 4 months later and I’m very happy with the purchase. It’s a great car and has features for a base model typically reserved for higher trims. They got me a great rate for a loan through a credit union. The financing staff were also nice and seemed to offer options appropriate for my situation. I didn’t feel like they were upselling me. I appreciate the generous terms and warranty offers as well.

What a wonderful experience! !! I needed a car big enough to fit my growing family’s needs and I got exactly that! Ellie Carrano was WONDERFUL. She helped me so much along the way !! I needed a car big enough to fit my growing family’s needs and I got exactly that! Ellie Carrano was WONDERFUL. She helped me so much along the way. I kept texting her, nagging her for opinions, questions, vehicle information etc and she was always quick to respond and super friendly! Phil, Nate, and Robert were awesome as well. They were all very supportive as I cried ugly tears signing my Ford Escape away. Owen was VERY helpful with the tech stuff. He is very good at what he does. I don’t know what I would have done without him showing me the Telluride’s features. Also was very happy there were free cookies because it kept my 5 year old happy during the process. More
