My wife and I wanted to help our son purchase his next vehicle after the one he has been driving for the past 10 years died again. We told him to decide what he wanted. After a few weeks of test-driving, he told us he wanted a Kia Sportage and it had to be a 2011 or 2012 because of the overhaul done to them in 2011. I thought why a Kia. I went online and researched the Kia Sportage. After doing my research, I decided maybe he had not made such a bad choice. The hunt was on for preferably a 2011 to get a better price. Looking through the Autotrader web site, we saw where the local Kia dealer had the 2012 Sportage for only $17,999. Off the the local dealer we went. Turns out, that price is good if you are a recent college graduant, a military veteran, and over 65. We missed two out of three. Never the less we left disappointed. Back to Autotrader and I found two used 2011; one in Matthews, NC and one in Durham. I also did some searching for other dealerships in a 100 mile radius. I found Keffer. I sent them an email about the disappointment with the local dealer. If they were serious about dealing, contact me. On Monday, I had phone calls from the two used Sportages. The guy in Durham, I was not going to deal with. The guy in Matthews was very nice and I was very interested. Late Monday, I get a call from Eric Smith at Keffer. I told him what I wanted to pay, my down payment, and months of financing. He said let me work on it and I will call you back. He called me back in about 15 minutes and told me what he could offer. It was very close to my demands. My wife and I live in Greenville, NC and my son lives in Greensboro. My wife was going to co-sign because my son had no credit history. Eric worked out all the details via phone and email. My wife and son drove to Mooresville Wednesday afternoon and picked up the Sportage. She said everyone was so nice and helpful. When my son got into the Sportage to drive home the radio display was not working. He took it back today, Friday, and they replaced the radio. He said everything was smooth and everyone was so nice. Thank you so much Keffer for helping us find a solution for our son and being able to bless him. Special thanks to Eric Smith and Mary Ann for their consistent contact and support in this transaction. In my opinion, Keffer is not a car dealer staffed with a bunch of car salespersons, but a car dealer with a staff of good neighbors. There is a big difference.
