Nick K. our salesman was fantastic! He was warm and accommodating. We started feeling uncomfortable when we were dealing with the finance manager. Since w our salesman was fantastic! He was warm and accommodating. We started feeling uncomfortable when we were dealing with the finance manager. Since we had all of our accounts frozen, it took time to work through each institution he was checking for the best finance rate.

I will never deal with him again. More
