The experience of buying a new car is very important as its one of life's most expensive events. Cars over a lifetime cost more than even houses for most of us. So its very important not to feel pressured its one of life's most expensive events. Cars over a lifetime cost more than even houses for most of us. So its very important not to feel pressured and misled. Its been 10 years since I bought a car so I admit I forgot to read any of the papers I signed. Naughty me. But luckily for me this is a dealer who looks out for the customer and all was perfect. I really recommend Gonzo if you are looking at cars, no pressure, honest answers, easy financing. A good memory at Sands KIA. I love my Sportage. More
