Bad Coral Springs Kia

[PhilG]

there was a yellow one up in Fort Pierce Kia, it was gone by the time I visited there. My wife made it clear she wasnt a fan of the yellow...unfortunately. Have to keep the wife happy....

I'm between Rick Case and Gunther too. They will be my first option when I begin shopping but I'm will look elsewhere in state or even out of state if needed, I'm in no rush. I'm want a Stinger but don't want to deal with any drama or play stupid games.

i'd talk to hollywood kia, they dont charge a dealer fee & give 3 years of free oil changes. i should have bought there. they were my first stop and where i initially saw the Stinger in person. the actually had one of the best prices of all the local dealerships, i'm not an impulse buyer and had to research and shop before i could commit and they sold their last GT1 that was equipped the way i wanted. Talk to Andrew, he's a real easygoing kid. no pressure

Did you visit Gunther?

Not yet though they didn't have the car I'm looking for, only Rick Case one, at least locally. I'll reach out to them over the weekend.

the mrs and i bought from rick case kia. it was between them and gunther, but gunther wouldn't budge on price and wouldn't let us even sit in one. we dealt with hussain at rick case, guy let us drive one, sat with us, didn't force or cajole us into buying one. we hit him with our offer, he countered, we stood fast and wouldn't budge, he went to finance guy, back and forth and we got the car at our price. only quibble was the dmv fee, we had plates that we were transferring and we got charged. after twenty minutes of explanation, fee was returned. they might be the giants down here with the lions share of the market, but, they have all the cars and you do find some good people who work there. and, ian, the service manager, is gold.

@Weareblondi Wouldn't let you sit in a car?! WTH!? is up with that? That is just crazy behavior.

This is the problem with dealers who should not be allowed to sell Stingers. The mentality has to change. We are not selling to the Rio public! Besides.....a $50k vehicle is just another vehicle. By all means,sit in it and drive it! Unbelievable.

see, when i go and look for a car, i don't dress up. metallica t-shirt, hair all messed up, unshaven , torn jeans, doc martens and i drive up in my daily driver. doesn't matter if i am buying a $500 beater or a $125k amg. if the salesperson can look past what i look like and see that i know what i am talking about with regards to the actual car and to the amount of money i am willing to spend, i will purchase the car. gunther took one look at me, then at the mrs, who was dressed very nicely (they must have figured she was slumming or something) and told me that all of their stingers were for people who were ready to place a deposit on the car before they would actually entertain the option of letting me anywhere near the car. so, we left. went to rick case, hussain brought around a gt2 in micro blue, we took it for a spin. actually, he asked us not to go too crazy with the length of the drive since people don't really want to purchase a new car with too many miles. i got that. just wanted to see what the drive was like. the mrs and i took it around a couple of blocks. opened her up, as per the salespersons advice, we went back and bought the yellow right there. and yes, i did go back to gunther, all cleaned up and dressed sharply. got out, went to same dealer, inquired about stinger, they brought the car around and then noticed the yellow stinger the mrs was sitting in. lady looked at me and asked what gives, told her who we were and showed her the car that she wouldn't sell us several days prior. blammo-take that!!!!!

Great story. Love it. When I was at my dealer, after a few days of driving my car around, I had some questions. This "tatty" looking guy comes over and starts a three-way conversation, asking about my car and what I think about it, etc. The sales guy was more of a spectator at that point. But I could tell that he was sizing up the scruffy look as a possible sale. Clearly the potential buyer knew cars and knew he liked Stingers on appearances and new rep alone. Everything about "my" dealership has rung true. They would have sold to you.

I second this.

 

[TwistedOrca]

Hmmm...I had a totally different outcome and experience at Gunther. Who did u speak to there?

I had same situation at Bev Smith Kia..had to run credit and hold my vehicle keys before test driving...some kind of trick, had to fight with them to get back after I refused the deal several times.

I went to go look at a Raptor when they first came out. I roll up in a fairly new Toyota Sequoia Platinum. I tell the dealer ....I'd like to test drive the Raptor. I was told I'd need to fill out a credit app. I told the sales guy.....hey buddy, look outside. It's paid for. I'm not filling out a credit app to look at a truck. I'll go somewhere else and I did!
