Fantastic Car Buying Experience! This was my first car purchase so I did hours and hours of research. I found 2 specific cars that were my favorite so I decided to go visit both - a H This was my first car purchase so I did hours and hours of research. I found 2 specific cars that were my favorite so I decided to go visit both - a Honda Accord and a Toyota Camry. Both were exactly what I was looking for in price, mileage, and age. They are both reliable makes/models so my decision was to be determined by driving each car. I chose to visit the Camry first because I wanted the Accord more based off of looks, and I wanted to be sure I see both. Needless to say, I knew I wanted to check out the Accord after visiting the Camry. From when I first called Criswell Maserati and spoke with Karifa, I could tell how friendly he was and even gave me his personal cell phone number so we could text if anything changed or if I had any questions. When I arrived at the dealership, he was just as warm and friendly as I expected. He works at a Maserati dealership so a little Honda Accord probably isn't that big of a sale for him, but he made me feel very important and did everything he could to help me - what a guy! I saw the Accord, sat in it, and knew right away this was exactly what I wanted. I mean, come on, if it was good enough for a Maserati dealership to hold onto and sell, I knew was way beyond good enough for me. Karifa wasn't pushy, answered every question I had with expertise and even helped me setup my own car insurance on the phone. He was awesome to work with and if I ever consider purchasing a Maserati in the future (let's hope that's even possible) I will 100% go straight to him. I consider him my friend and genuine person that anyone would be lucky enough to work with. I also had the pleasure of working with Chrystie (I'm sorry if I didn't spell your name correctly!!) with financing the car. She was incredibly knowledgeable, gave me great tips for building my credit and really made the car-buying process easy. Thank you again! I expect nothing less from a dealership that sells cars worth over one hundred thousand dollars, but still...I had an amazing experience purchasing my car and I think anyone would benefit from working with these individuals when looking for a car. I fortunately found one that was within my price range at a dealership that was way out of my league, nevertheless, they treated me like I was purchasing the best car on the lot. Thank you guys again! You made me LOVE buying my car and helped me find MY car. I cannot recommend them enough. More

Great car buying experience We bought an Alfa Romeo Stelvio from Criswell about a month ago. Overall we are very satisfied with the car and our shopping experience at Criswell. O We bought an Alfa Romeo Stelvio from Criswell about a month ago. Overall we are very satisfied with the car and our shopping experience at Criswell. Our sale representative (Karifa) was an excellent person to work with. He was very friendly and helpful all the way from our very first meeting with him with a thrilling test drive to signing the contract. We got a very good deal and are happy with the performance of Stelvio. I do recommend you to test drive an Alfa and get information on great deals from Criswell before settling for either a slightly cheaper option (Like Mazda, Honda, Toyota) or a more expensive one (Like BMW, Audi, Mercedes).
