On April 7, 2011 my husband and I drove to Hickory to look at vehicles. I had looked online at Kia Souls and similar vehicles. We started off going to Carmax first and looked at several used vehicles. We look at vehicles. I had looked online at Kia Souls and similar vehicles. We started off going to Carmax first and looked at several used vehicles. We then test drove a Nissan Cube. We were not planning on buying that day. We decided that we would drive to the Kia dealership and test drive a Soul. I was not intending to buy that day. I hate pushy salespeople to be honest and that is what I am used to at car dealerships. I was with my husband when he bought both his new trucks and it was not pleasant. This time I was very pleased. When Tim came out, he was not pushy. He gave us time to look and ask questions. He took us for a test drive and I was very pleased with all the information that he gave us. When we got back from the test drive, he asked us if we were interested in trading our vehicle and said he could do a quick appraisal, no more than 15 minutes. He was right. It was around 15 minutes and he had a quote of what we could buy the car for and what they would give us for ours. We were very happy with the offer made on our car. It was higher than KBB and a bit higher than another offer we had been made. We decided to buy! He then showed us all the features our new car had and made sure we knew what we were getting. He was great! I would not hesitate to recommend Paramount Kia and I would especially recommend Tim Whitener as a salesperson. Thanks, Denise Manus More

I had gone to another Kia dealer and these guys helped me see that I had been offered a LX with added extras that was much more expensive than the SX they had for me at a much better price. Sadly, it was so see that I had been offered a LX with added extras that was much more expensive than the SX they had for me at a much better price. Sadly, it was sold the day before I got there so they found me one similar to the one I had seen online and sent someone to get it for me, I had it in a few days. This one had a few more extras on it even...that's the Lord for ya :)! I had studied allot online, but still had to trust that they would help me get down to the payment that I needed and they did work with me. I am delighted with my car and have offered to take a friend there in the next month to see if she can find a vehicle! THeir website really helped me as I studied and looked for the car that I wanted!!! More

We purchased a new 2011 Kia Forte in March, 2011. We went to Kia because of the safety ratings we have read about in Consumer Reports, the warranties, price, gas mileage, etc. A huge bonus that we did went to Kia because of the safety ratings we have read about in Consumer Reports, the warranties, price, gas mileage, etc. A huge bonus that we did not expect was the friendly, professional service we were met with by our sales associate, Tim Whitener. There was no pressure, just information. Tim's 10 yrs experience shows, and made it a totally comfortable experience. We had a good experience, also, in the Finance Office, with Ryan Caldwell. This in the first time we have ever enjoyed the experience of buying a car. Thanks, Paramount Kia! More
