2020 Kia Soul Purchase I was looking for a Kia Soul manual transmission vehicle in my home state of Tennessee.

Local dealerships in my area didn't have them, didn't seem to want to find one. They pretty much wanted sticker + fees on what they did have. I called Paramount Kia and talked with Krisha that handles internet sales. She told me about a 2020 model that was a trade in with very little miles,quickly gave me their bottom dollar price with no hassle. Salesperson, Bucky Bates handled the rest of the car purchase. Bucky is a good salesman. He is very knowledgeable about Kia products and gives the customer ample time to check out the vehicles. The only issue I had was confusion about the warranty on the vehicle I purchased. I think that is more a Kia issue than a dealership issue. I have been to 7 different Kia dealerships Paramount Kia seems to be the best that I have been in. More

Pleasant, direct, no nonsense. Looking for a new Kia, contacted Aaron at Paramount, (also worked with Buckey and Garret). I spoke over the phone a few times ( a few hours drive from Looking for a new Kia, contacted Aaron at Paramount, (also worked with Buckey and Garret). I spoke over the phone a few times ( a few hours drive from our home. I walked in, pulled the car we had been discussing, started the paperwork. No upselling, no BS, we were in and out in just a little over an hour. They were direct and had the best price we were able to find in a 500-mile radius of our home. I would definitely drive down there and buy another vehicle. Bucky was awesome, again no BS, (well maybe a little about liking the color of the car, Army Man Green), but seriously, he was steller, my wife HATES, I mean truly hates dealing with car dealers. They have an unfortunate habit of treating her (and I suspect woman in general as secondary) and she was very pleased with how he spoke with, and treated her. When we explained this was her car, I was merely eye candy (as it were, 3 week old, covered in fuzz, under the couch eye candy).from that point on. Jordan was wonderful as well (Finance Guy), again no BS, did not try to sell us on things we did not need. Got right down to business, and we were in and out of the finance office in minutes versus hours. Really he got up to take care of something or other, and we sat there, he smiled and said "we're done, let's get your car." Aaron was amazingly patient with my imitation of Columbo, ask a question, hang up, call back ah yeah forgot.. repeat too often. Kudos, and still smiled and shook my hand when I can in a few days after the initial (and many, many calls. He even called me a couple of times to let me know they worked out a better deal, a car more suited to my request, for less money, (Yeah surprise!) financing, etc. I was very impressed. Also spoke with Jodi (sorry we missed you, would have loved to have met you in person.), Pleasant, informative, called to offer assistance, etc. Highly recommend these folks. Thank you for sorta restoring my faith in humanity. PS: And as a first the car had a full tank of gas. Crazy Awesome. More

Bucky Bates is an awesome sales associate. He took the time to test drive several cars with myself and my wife. He is kind and not pushy like the typical car salesman.
