QUALITY PRE-OWNED MERCEDES - EXCELLENT SELECTION…read more
Purchased a vehicle approx. 10 days ago. Below is my observations and insight.
Vehicle:2014 C350 Coupe 4Matic
Salesman: Alex
Floor manager: Trish
Business Mgr. Dave
Other people I met while at the dealer: Kim (sales), Steve (sales)
Researched on dealer website prior to visiting the store. Found that dealer had an EXCELLENT inventory of luxury pre owned vehicles. My first thought was, impressive for a "KIA" dealer.
The website displayed 7 Mercedes vehicles that were currently available. Once I decided that the 2014 C350 Coupe 4Matic fit my wish list, I headed to the dealer.
Arrival at the dealership. My first impression was, "very clean and well organized used car lot. I was able to find the 2014 C350 Coupe 4Matic immediately. It was EXACTLY as displayed on the website. Just to make certain that it was the best fit for me, out of the 7 available, I walked the used car lot and found them all. Although ALL 6 other were near MINT condition, I landed on the 2014 C350 Coupe 4Matic.
Walking the LOT. While looking around for 20 minutes, I was surprised that I was not approached by a salesperson. Some buyers might find this acceptable, but I personally do Not. Since I was there to Definitely BUY the 2014 C350 Coupe 4Matic, I thought, Wow, this is going to be so easy for the sales person, whichever one greets me first.
After walking the lot alone for 20 minutes, I decided to go inside. I utilized the door closest to the used car lot on the East side of the building. Once inside, I made eye contact with 3 people sitting at desks and then headed westward past a spinning "Free Trip" wheel, towards the second half of the showroom.
The showroom is very well lit and super clean. The vehicles are displayed well. I was not "put off" by anything related to the facilities.
"Can I help you", stated the lucky salesperson who is unknowingly going to write up a deal in the next few minutes. "My name is Alex".
Alex is Brand new (2 weeks) in the business. Alex's attitude was excellent. He was super friendly and eager to do a good job. Knowing that it was hot outside, Alex immediately offered me a bottle of water. When he returned, he actually gave me 2 bottles.
The experience with Alex could not have been better. I advised him early on that I wanted to pick up the car the next day and as long as the price was fair, we had a deal.
My offer was lower that Alex could go, so he brought in Trish. Trish made a fair counter offer and also included some free oil changes, very nice. Was surprised to be informed that the service dept. has a hair and nail salon available, while you wait for your vehicle. Great idea!!!
Picking up the vehicle the next day. Alex came in on his day off, I felt bad, but he insisted. The car was detailed to near perfection. Alex even filled up the gas tank himself.
In conclusion. I was impressed with the selection of pre-owned vehicles as well as the look and feel of the dealership. Although brand new to the business, Alex was spot on where in counts. I can see Alex as someone who will be successful in whatever he chooses.
I have already recommended Alex and GK to several family members and friends. I will personally be back, when my wife is ready to upgrade to a newer Mercedes.
