For me, buying a car has always been stressful! ! For someone that has a not so great credit score, no co-signer, and not a lot to offer as a down payment, it seemed like every dealership that promi ! For someone that has a not so great credit score, no co-signer, and not a lot to offer as a down payment, it seemed like every dealership that promised those things weren’t needed only to get your hopes up then let down. This happened to me time and time again! Until I met Tim Whitener at Kia Paramount of Hickory! I was able to drive off the lot with the car I fell in love with!! The K5 GT-Line. I would highly advise anyone that may be in the same boat as myself to give them a try! Save yourself from the tears, stress and let downs that you get from other dealerships!! More

My wife and I went in to Paramount Kia yesterday to begin our process of looking for and buying a new car. We do not typically enjoy the process of buying a car. Our plan was to go to Paramount Kia, then t our process of looking for and buying a new car. We do not typically enjoy the process of buying a car. Our plan was to go to Paramount Kia, then to the local Chevy and Ford dealers to compare. Tim Whitener met us outside and guided us through the process of checking out the Kia's. While we were there it became obvious that we did not need to visit the Chevy nor the Ford dealerships. We bought a new Seltos on the spot! We did that for 3 reasons: 1. Tim guided us gently through the process without being pushy at all. He was so friendly, personably, and certainly knew the cars well. 2. The Kia warranty is way better than any of the others 3. We felt like the cars were priced affordably. Thank you Tim and Paramount for making our decision easy! Benjamin and Diane Johnson More
