We are still on the fence as to whether our fancies and finances will allow us to close the deal on an Awesome Cars RAV4 we have been crushing on, but wanted to give a shout-out to the low-key, optimally transparent, and reliably cheerful ways of Awesome.Granted, used car shopping has some innate stress and implied risk, but four and a half stars to these guys for being genuine and trying to mitigate the built-in mind-mess.
Owner/manager Iman has a stable full of clean cars at a wide range of prices and will promptly print out a CarFax, and a projected bottom-line cost w/taxes and title for you. He will not rush you, fast-talk you, or put your checkbook into a half-nelson in hopes of heating up a pressure-cooked sales dynamic. Instead, he will patiently explain his inventory sourcing method and his pricing approach, and then let his cars do the selling.
If you're a diehard fan of the heavy-breathing, check-with-my-manager, this-here-deal-can-be-done experience, skip these guys and look for the colored flags and "free" Cokes down the road. AC is def a mom-and-pop operation that's rolling without the embedded drummers and tinsel.
Be sure and call ahead before visiting to ensure you can connect with the crew and their cars. That having been done, you can be confident that you'll get more engine-turning than stomach-churning. Save on money and Tums, and give this place a look-see! read more
