I just purchased a high-end previously owned EV at Valenti Ford in Mystic, CT, and can say with confidence that I would recommend and repeat the experience. Communication was top notch, the price was fair, and the sale process itself has been very positive. I felt supported by a team. By way of background, I'm in my early 60s, and have purchased many vehicles, primarily newer autos coming off lease or single owners, from family autos to executive sedans. I began looking on Edmunds and YouTube at reviews of automobiles that would suit my lifestyle and provide good value. I had several prospects spread over RI, CT & MA, and, as informative as reviews are, there is no substitute for spending time in the driver's seat. A couple of the dealerships I visited were just disappointing - advertised cars not available, "in arbitration" or not as advertised. Calls were not promptly returned or returned at all. Valenti Ford proved different. My initial voicemail was promptly returned and although the salesperson was not available, they made sure that I knew who I could speak with. My sales and leasing associate was Elisa Calkins, who was good-humored, responsive, honest and freely admitted when she needed back-up from members of her team regarding the vehicle I had in mind. David Tignonsini is the sales manager at Valenti and deserves the title. He is clearly a car guy. He had handled the intake of the vehicle and its service once it arrived at the dealership. David provided me with a full vehicle service report, an up-to-date car fax and the original MSRP window sticker. Both Elisa and David took time to go over the vehicle and Elisa accompanied me on an exciting and comprehensive test drive. I felt that they both wanted a satisfied customer. And while I was interested in the auto, I left the dealership to do some further research on the brand and the car itself. No pressure. A couple of days later, I decided to move forward and Elisa scheduled me with Marcy in finance. Marcy found an excellent interest rate from a credit union in RI and we walked through the P&S paperwork briskly, clearly and professionally. Post-closing, Joel Valenti worked through an issue regarding a missing part to a satisfactory conclusion. Elisa installed the temporary plates and explained the process of getting RI plates and registration, with no trip to the DMV for me. Al accompanied me across the border to Westerly, RI for the VIN check. Would I buy from Valenti Ford again? Yes. read more
