I was recently in the market for a newer car and decided to start my search here. Before going out to the multitude of car dealerships in the area I decided to do a quick search online for the type of vehicle I was looking for. I like my SUV, but I want to make sure that they have good gas mileage as well. So after a search I found what I thought I was going to like and Bud's had one that I wanted to test drive.
I have never been to Beaverdale before so coming to the area was new to me. When you come upon Bud's it is kind of like BAM, here's our cars, right up on the road and all the way up the hill. It was a bit odd, but not unexpected. The hardest part about this place is that the office is located across the street from the car lot, so going back and forth you need to be careful because this road is the main through way in the area.
The day I showed up we had just had a winter storm, so the cars all had a good amount of snow on them. I walked into the office and told them that I wanted to test drive one of the cars on the lot. It took them a minute to locate and clean off the car, while I waited for them to do that, they did a little paper work on their end to pull up my information and what not. Once the car was ready I took it for a test drive and then came back to the office.
I'm always nervous when I go car shopping, the worst part is waiting to see if your credit is good enough for the numbers to match. I knew my credit was decent but what was hurting me here was the negative equity I had on my current vehicle.
Here is why this place is good, instead of stringing you along and trying to crunch the numbers to work for them to get you into a car they guy that was helping me just spoke the truth. I really appreciated that, and not sure if he knows how much he helped me. He told me because of the amount of negative equity that he would not feel comfortable getting me into a car just for the sake of getting me into a car. Instead he told me that my best option was to purchase a new car because that would be beneficial for me because of my unique situation. Not only did he give me this advice, but he also referred me to a dealership that he knew would help me in this situation. Although I did not go that direct route he gave me, I did take his advice and use it. Who does that? Gives you advice to go to another dealership and lose a sale. A genuine person, that's who. Thank you for your kindness and guiding me to where I needed to be. read more
