I enjoyed working with this team with everyone from the General Manager Ed Lewis, to the sales manager Robert, to my sales person Jeffery Jackson. I knew exactly what vehicle I wanted, the color that I wanted, and how much I was going to pay when I walked in. My sales person Jeffery Jackson greeted me shortly after I walked in and offered to help me. He pulled my chair out for me, before I sat down, offered me beverages and snacks, and asked me what I was looking for. I told him exactly what I wanted and we began to look. He told me that there weren't any makes and models that I wanted on the lot so we looked through their system data base. We found similar makes, models, colors, and prices all outside of what I wanted. I was adamant, I knew what I wanted and was not willing to waiver from it. Mr. Jackson pulled up similar models to what I wanted and I was not having it. I was not even willing to look up at the computer screen if it was not exactly what I wanted. (lol) Mr. Jackson eventually got the sales manager Robert involved and they continued to look. After about one hour we came to the conclusion that the vehicle that I wanted was not in their inventory. Mr. Jackson gave me his word that he would continue to pursue the vehicle that I wanted. I told him that I am a patient person and that I looked forward to hearing from him. Literally as I was about to leave Robert exclaimed that he found my truck. I was thinking whatever, they probably found something close and are going to try to talk me into getting it. I was ready to say no. I looked at the picture of the vehicle, on the side it read Sahara, I rolled my eyes and exclaimed no! I said I want a jeep Wrangler, not a Sahara! Robert was like no, no, they're basically the same thing. (You know that we are trained not to trust sales people. I sincerely thought that he was just talking and was trying to tell me anything, I wasn't trying to hear it. lol) Another gentleman intervened, I sale Jeeps, the main difference is the fenders. I looked through all the pictures and finally was like ok, ok, ok, I think I can mess with that, I think we found a winner. The vehicle was in another city so we signed the paper work, ordered it, and it was on the way. This occurred on a Saturday and the vehicle was ready for pick up on Tuesday. When I came to pick the vehicle up the general sales manager Ed Lewis engaged in conversation with me where he thanked me for my business and pretty much asked if there was anything else that he could assist me with. I told him of one more thing that could be done to satisfy me and Mr. Lewis obliged. Everyone involved in this sale was patient with me and possessed immaculate customer service skills. I know that it is easy to think that they were nice to me because they were trying to make a sale but I'm sure everyone can relate, I have been to countless places to spend my money and received horrible customer service. Generally, employees do not care anymore what you came to buy or what you want to spend, if they are not in the mood to deal with the general public, they show it. These men were so patient, light hearted, determined, and willing to help me. We also have to keep in mind that all this occurred before the credit check and before the verification of employment. It's one thing for a sales person to be kind to you before they acquire your credit score and income and another thing for a sales person to be nice to you afterwards. They didn't know what or how much I could truly afford. So on to the auto financing, I am a banker by profession. My end goal was to finance the vehicle through my credit union. I personally went through the paperwork of all the charges, got my calculator out and calculated everything. (I had to make sure there weren't any hidden fees on there that slipped past me! lol) Everything added up to the penny. The tags, interest, shipping charge, everything was on point! It wasn't that I understood the paperwork because I am a banker (even though that helped), it was simply written out in laments terms. The end result was ,there was no reason to finance with my credit union because the financing was neck and neck. Surprisingly the dealership offered me as good a financing deal as my credit union. Oh yes, last thing, Auto Nation offered me literally double what CarMax offered me on the trade in. So long story short, I am a very strong willed, I want what I want, savvy banker and to my total surprise, these gentlemen completely wowed me. I got a great deal, a great trade in value, and great financing. I'm happy. read more
