Our Sales Rep DeShawnne was upfront and did his research to get us the most reliable car in their used section. He REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE, and be confident that we got a great deal, and great car that wouldn't have problems down the road. I didn't know any of the car's functions of even how to turn it how because of it's Hybrid status, and DeShawnne took the time to explain each feature until I was comfortable with how the car operated. He Didn't Pressure us, or make us feel rushed. He literally ran around to accommodate us THE WHOLE TIME. DeShawnne treated us better than a pampering spa.
The Loan officer that we had was also mind blowing, as we really appreciated his blunt, but honest upfront approach to our financial application. He gave us TONS of tips on how the system works, what to watch out for, where to go or what to do in the future, in order to get the best of the best of any situation. He explained everything, and didn't care about niceties but only the truth. I love that - He was so friendly, but gave it to you like it is. No fake "yes you can get a car, but your doomed paying for life dealership" here. Alex recommened that you go to the Finance department first, as the REPS, REALLY AND TRULY TRY THEIR BEST to estimate your total cost, but really it's the financial dep. that tells you the real cost. And Alex told us the real TOTAL cost, no hidden stuff.
As for any problems that typically show up when buying a car, everyone is human and it's common for us to sometimes make mistakes, even dealerships. After buying my car, Alex was upfront with us that we weren't officially approved yet when another department had told us we were. Which seemed like a lack of communication from one department to the next. So again we checked with our rep DeShawnne, and he made sure we were ALL in mutual understanding and satisfied before proceeding. Alex gave us his the honest facts about our situation, and we were able to plan for any hidden bumps or extra fees that a normal dealership would want to keep hidden from you. After about a day of having my vehicle home, I wasn't able to turn it on and called DeShawnne. He worked hard to fix it fast, and even sought to come to my house to fix it! However, he was able to figure out over the phone that it was a problem in my key fob and took care of it that day in just a few minutes. Even though he was already busy, he made sure that any and all problems that had occurred, or might occur in the future were covered. I will always go to DeShawnne @ Karl Malone in Sandy. I trust his advice, knowledge and integrity!!! He's the man you wanna see. If I ever have problems with my Prius, I know I can count of them. read more
