I recently purchased my 2023 Kona from Lester Glenn and I cannot recommend my salesperson, Karen, highly enough. From the moment I walked in, Karen was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They answered al cannot recommend my salesperson, Karen, highly enough. From the moment I walked in, Karen was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They answered all of my questions about the various models and features with clear, detailed information, and truly demonstrated a deep understanding of the inventory. I never felt rushed or pressured during the process. What truly set this experience apart was how easy and stress-free it was. Car shopping can often be difficult, but Karen made the entire process smooth, enjoyable, and completely transparent. They were honest, upfront, and focused entirely on helping me find the right car for my needs, not just making a sale. If you are looking for a new car and want a truly exceptional, pressure-free shopping experience with a salesperson who is genuinely knowledgeable and personable, ask for Karen! More

This is the second car we purchased from Lester Glenn Hyundai. Our first was the 2025 Tucson and when my wife’s Highlander was totaled in an accident and she wanted to replace it with another Highlander. Hyundai. Our first was the 2025 Tucson and when my wife’s Highlander was totaled in an accident and she wanted to replace it with another Highlander. Having just purchased the Tucson and comparing highlanders and we came across the palisade. Karen Morrissey was my wife’s sales lady. Karen was great to work with. She was patient and friendly. Not once did we feel Karen was pushy or using sale tactics. She didn’t fish baited questions. We test drove the palisade got some numbers traded contacts and called it a day. We didn’t get inundated with sales calls and emails. We went to other dealerships including Toyota and the palisade was standing out. We made some calls and met sales manager Frank Simeone with Karen. We talked a bit and came to an agreement on numbers. Next back upstairs to sit with Darren applegate. We like dealing Darren. He makes things easy and cuts through the nonsense. Lester Glenn Hyundai is probably the most easy to deal with dealership. More
