Thumbs Up Criswell Maserati! It was truly a pleasurable experience working with such a knowledgeable, professional, and personable salesman such a Karifa Mara. He was very helpfu It was truly a pleasurable experience working with such a knowledgeable, professional, and personable salesman such a Karifa Mara. He was very helpful, yet not too aggressive. In addition, he answered all my questions in detail. The experience that I had while leasing my new car was like a breath of fresh air. The process was easy and I got an exceptional deal on a great automobile. I would suggest to anyone in the market for a new Maserati to speak to Mr. Mara. He is definitely the “Go-to-Guy”! You will be very well taken care of. Awesome staff! I will definitely be returning to Criswell Maserati for my next transaction. More

Karifa was AMAZING!!! I absolutely loved working with Karifa to purchase my new Stelvio. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the SUV, but what was really unique about him I absolutely loved working with Karifa to purchase my new Stelvio. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the SUV, but what was really unique about him was the test drive. He has a race car driving background so when he took us for the test drive, he offered to drive first to show us what the car could do. He had a special route for this purpose, and after the vigorous display of what the Stelvio was capable of, I was sold. I have bought Porsche’s, Audi’s, and BMW’s but was never really allowed to see the limits of the car’s performance on the test drive. In addition, Karifa was willing to work the deal out completely by text message. A lot of dealers won’t let you do this until you come in, and by that time they think they have you. It was very easy to negotiate for the Stelvio this way and they were very generous with incentives and rebates to help me get the price I wanted. All in all, one of the best car buying experiences that I have ever had! More

Karifa Mara, Salesman, Criswell Maserati Where do I begin. Thanks for previous customers posts relating to Mr. Mara. With your referral, I personally had to see why this salesman received 5 s Where do I begin. Thanks for previous customers posts relating to Mr. Mara. With your referral, I personally had to see why this salesman received 5 stars. I see why. Karifa is very impressionable and didn't have to hard sell the Alfa Romeo Stelvio to me. The car sells itself but Karifa is very well versed about what he's selling, over 20 years of salesmanship experience in the auto industry. He knows cars, especially Alfas. From the time I met him, he made me feel like family. I'm not kidding. He walked me through the process and once I was leaving the dealership with my new Stelvio, Karifa, made certain I knew how to drive this machine. This rating may seem like I'm schmoozing but I bought cars from many dealerships but my experience with Karifa was genuine. If you don't believe me, check out this salesman. Also, in order for me to write any rating like this for anyone, a person must have left a beautiful, pleasant and lasting impression with me. . More
