Runde Chevrolet

Our shopping experience started out like any other.  We had bought a truck from Runde’s a couple years ago and it was a good experience and it was a good truck – still have it – runs great. We were looking had bought a truck from Runde’s a couple years ago and it was a good experience and it was a good truck – still have it – runs great. We were looking to get out of our van as the boys are now getting older and I was growing tired of driving a minivan.  We wanted something with decent gas mileage, but it still had to have three rows of seating.  If you don’t have three sons, just take my word for it – we needed three rows of seating.  We looked at a couple of vehicles.  We liked the Chrysler Pacifica, but the styling was getting outdated a little.  We looked at the Ford Flex too.  There’s a lot of room in the Flex, but I just couldn’t get past the boxy styling.  We considered something like a Tahoe or Durango, but the gas mileage just wasn’t where we wanted it to be on those.  My minivan didn’t get great gas mileage and we really didn’t want to go with something with less mileage as I cringe everytime I go to fill up at the pump. We have had good experiences with both GM and Dodge products, so those were the ones that we were mainly looking into.  The truck we got previously at Runde’s is a Silverado.  We were looking to trade our Dodge Dakota with about 150,000 miles and my van, which was a Oldsmobile Silhouette. The vehicle that really caught my eye was the Buick Enclave.  I still think that is the one I would have gotten, but it was just a little out of our price range.  We ended up focusing on a Chevy Traverse – which I’ve been told is basically the same thing as an Enclave.  We called our previous salesman at Runde’s in Manchester and he said that he didn’t deal with new Chevy’s and all of the Traverses at Runde’s were new ones.  He let me know that the Saturn Outlook was also about the same as a Traverse and that he had a used one there that we would be able to drive.  We’re from Manchester and I thought it was convenient for us.  I didn’t want to have to drive all the way to the East Dubuque Chevy store – especially if it turned out that we didn’t like the vehicle. So we drove the Outlook in Manchester and it rode nice, but I really wanted to see a Traverse.  I know that the Outlook only had about 10,000 miles on it, but a new vehicle is a whole different thing and if we were going to spend that much money on a new vehicle, I wanted to be able to see it in person.  So we drove down to East Dubuque a couple days later with our trade ins.  I really liked the Traverse.  The styling inside was completely different from the Outlook and the seats felt different.  There also seemed to be more room in the Traverse, but it could be that the interior was a lighter color that made it seem that way. We knew what we were going to get for our Dakota already because they looked at that in Manchester so they gave us the trade amount for the van. I really liked the Traverse, but me and my husband decided to go home and think about it for a couple days.  After talking it over for the weekend, we gave our salesman a call and told him that we were going to go ahead with the deal. It’s been about a month and a half and we love our new Traverse.  If we had it to do over again, we wouldn’t have changed a thing.  The experience was a good one and I know that I now have one of the safest vehicles on the market (10 air bags) to help protect me and my kids when we on the go. We highly recommend Runde’s and we won’t hesitate to go back there when we need another vehicle.

We were tickled pink with our new truck purchase. The folks at Runde made this transaction fun. I've never been more impressed with a dealership. We had been searching for a specific pick-up truck onli folks at Runde made this transaction fun. I've never been more impressed with a dealership. We had been searching for a specific pick-up truck online and we looked from dealer to dealer to dealer all the way from here to Wisconsin. We sent in an inquiry on the truck and got a call back from Rob. We hashed it out over the phone with him and then drove up to pick up the truck. We hadn’t heard of Runde Chevrolet before we found the truck on the internet, but we’re glad we did. We were very pleased with the deal and pleased with the service – It was a smooth process and we couldn’t be happier. I don’t know how anything could have been better, from my perspective.
