I had a service appppointment for my 2012 Sorento and instead of just waiting, I decided to checkout the 2014 Sorentos in the yard. This lead to the me wanting to upgrade my existing model and package to instead of just waiting, I decided to checkout the 2014 Sorentos in the yard. This lead to the me wanting to upgrade my existing model and package to the next level up. I met Chris and he made it easy to purchase my new vehicle. Now, while Chris is an amazing gentleman, I did not get the preferred model as requested, one with a moonroof like I had in my 2012 Sorento with a V6 Engine., as this model/package was not available at the Southside location nor at the sister location in Orange Park. However, I was advised that the sister location had two available 2014 Sorentos and one with an upgraded electronic package was brought to Southside about one hour later. When the car arrived, I discovered that it was not a v6 and did not have a moonroof. So, now I have to have the moonroof added and pay additional for it outside of the initial writeup/purchase price. Chris has arranged for the vendor to call me and promised a loaner car while the job is being done. My advise, make sure you see the vehicle before signing the final paperwork and be very sure that your needs are correctly understood. I love the new 2014 Sorento, and once I have the moonroof installed I will love it even more. As for the V6... Well, maybe I can spend less on gas. We will see. On a final note, Chris is a great guy!

The deal was somewhat simple. They did not have the car on the lot because it is a new model redesign but it was at the port. We got the car in let than a week.
