Will try to over charge you What a terrible example of a car dealership. I always go online and get pricing before I buy a car but this was my girlfriends purchase and she did no What a terrible example of a car dealership. I always go online and get pricing before I buy a car but this was my girlfriends purchase and she did not know what car she wanted before we got there. The salesperson did a good job helping her find the car that was right for her but when it got to pricing they tried charging us $1200 over sticker price because of a $25 pin stripe they installed. On the lot I explained that we didn't want to pay that crazy price and the salesperson explained to us that he would take care of it. I actually feel bad for the salesperson because I don't get the feeling it was his fault. Of course when we sit down and as for a good deal he comes back with the full $1200 over sticker price we explained we didn't want to pay. When we went to leave of course the manager had to talk with us before we could get the keys to our own vehicle. Iike I want to talk to the guy who just tried ripping me off on a car purchase. My sister bought a car from this dealership and got a great price and a fair trade in but she went online first. I guess they give good deals online and try to rip off the people that don't pre negotiate their deal. We went to faccillo and payed $4000 less and we are going to go on a cruise together for free. Pretty cool to save 4K and get a cruise. More

Mark Brown makes an excellent presentation: He listens! We went in to Kia with a very specific new vehicle in mind, thanks to Consumer Reports' giving the Sorento a favorable review. I contacted the dealer We went in to Kia with a very specific new vehicle in mind, thanks to Consumer Reports' giving the Sorento a favorable review. I contacted the dealership ahead of time and was transferred to salesman Mark Brown; I explained what we were looking for and what our personal eccentricities required. When we arrived at the dealership, Mark was waiting outside to greet us, having pulled a Sorento which exactly matched the requirements I had listed. He proceeded to explain and demonstrate the various features, and then we took the car out for a test drive. I very much appreciated that Mark did not try to dictate where we drove -- some salesmen do so to minimize bad features, e.g., poor suspension, etc., but Mark did none of that. As we drove Mark asked us further questions and helped us come to more fully appreciate all the car had to offer. While we ended up not buying from him or this dealership, it was only because of a specific unusual physical handicap one of us has which made the vehicle impractical for us. In the end, we would have preferred to continue dealing with Mark Brown. More
