Since I have an old car, I have been thinking about buying a new car for some time now. Even though…read moreI love my car, for the past 8 years, all I do is fix/repair and drive it again. I try not to drive too far, not to put gas or more miles on it. They have variety of used and new cars.
With that being said, after having lunch at Burger King, the Van Nuys KIA was literally 7 minutes away. I have always liked those compact Korean cars.
Walked in on the 17th of this month at 4:20pm, and was nicely greeted by one of their car salesman --Harry, and his general manager by the name of Hossaine. Both professional, nice gentlemen.
Harry took over and took me to their cubicles to discuss with me what my options are. After showing some nice cars on the computer such as KIA Forte--2023, KIA k-4 LXS, 2025, which cost $22,117.00 and few others. They also do loans, financing, trade ins too.
I was mostly interested in a white car, between the range/year 2023-2025. There was something that caught my eye and I asked Harry if I can test drive that car.
He said sure, will be right back in about 10 minutes, because the car that I was interested in was in a different lot.
Harry was gone for a good 35 minutes and I had to go pick my son up from work.
Told Hossane to call and let him know that I have to go and for him to hurry back.
Guess what? After he got back, I noticed that he got the car that I wanted in black color. I asked for white. His response was that "the white one wasn't ready yet". What??
I still agreed to take the black KIA for a test drive. He photocopied my drivers license and we went for a 10 minute drive.
The car itself felt like a toy in my hands as I was driving. After owning a 2003 BMW, the suspension of the wheel was super light. Eventually I would have gotten used to it.
The dealership was SUPER SPOTLESS clean along with their restrooms. You could see your own reflection on their floors. That's how clean it was.
They have amenities such as: complimentary coffee, water, 2 vending machines, popcorn popper, waiting area and everything was full, nice and clean. Including all the glasses of the amenities, windows, doors. It was also nicely decorated with blue and white balloons.
All employees were nice, helpful and friendly. They also have their service department which has been moved to Sepulveda blvd.
Since I had to rush, I will get back to them sometime next week after consulting with my family.
Thank you Harry, Hossane, and KIA. You guys ROCK!!
