I bought my pre owned Mustang from Putnam Lexus the middle of May this year (2015), it was my first buying experience of a car. I have had a new Mustang before this, however I leased it.

I knew absolutely nothing about buying car's. I have always heard really bad things about used car salesmen, and dealerships. I was told that I should not go and try to get this car without a man present to help me out. Of course I am a very stubborn woman, and I figured that I could do this on my own.

I learned how to purchase, inspect, ask questions, research and negotiate.

I reached out to a number of dealership's for this Mustang. I knew that it would be a challenge for me to
find exactly what I wanted, which was around a 2005, coupe, 5 speed manual shift within my budget.

One day I got a call from Patrick at Putnam telling me that he had an 2006, and could I drive a manual shift. This made me laugh, I told him that I could. He quoted me a price, this was out of my budget, so I had to turn it down. After a few call's, I received one from Lorenzo (I hope that I got his name right). Lorenzo is a manager (I think), he worked with me, and got the car to within my budget. I was really happy, and totally "over the moon". We set at time for the next day, for me to come in and see the car. I was surprised that we could make the deal over the phone.

I already had gotten the car financed through the bank, and just needed to see, inspect and tell them that I wanted to get it. The bank FedExed over night the check to Putnam.

I arrived an hour early, this is because I was coming from Mountain View, and had no idea as to where this was, and did not want to be late. From the moment that I arrived at Putnam Lexus, I was made to feel special, and they could not have been nicer. We were laughing, and joking. I was not afraid, I was very relaxed. I told them that I was there to see the Mustang, and that I was early. They were so-o-o nice and helpful, there were actually 3 people helping me. I saw the car and asked if I could start to inspect it, they said sure, and answered all of my questions. The salesman Robert (I think) even got me a readout of what work had been done on the car. I only found a couple of minor things that needed attention.

I bought the car as is, there was a sign in the window that said "buy as is", I also signed the paper's saying that I was buying as is. I asked, to be sure I understood, that if anything is wrong, it will be on me, I was told yes.

They filled my car up with gas, the car was very, very clean, they even paid for my 2016 tag's, and delivered the car to me before I left for work the next day. :-) One drove the car, and another followed him in a car to take him back. I was not charged for any of this.

I had my garage to check the car out, and they said that it was good. My b/f that has a 09 Mustang tried it out, and said that it is really smooth. I have been driving it for over 3 month's, and it is running just fine.

Everyone that see my car, tell me that I got a really good deal. :-)

I do keep in touch with Patrick, to let him know how the Mustang is doing, as I told him that I would.

I told them that I had read negative reviews, however, I wanted to go and check it out.

Bottom line is, I'm not just happy I'm thrilled. If I could give Putnam Lexus more than 5 star's I would. :-) ;-) :-)
