Review of Austin Infiniti

Austin Infiniti gave me everything I wanted and more. I was checking out program offers through my employer and filled out a form to see what type of discount I might get on an Infiniti. Within 3 minutes of submitting the form, I was contacted by the local dealership and transferred to salesman Tony Anthony.

I admitted two things to Tony over the phone.
1) I felt Infiniti was a bit above my price range
2) I had looked at the G37 convertible 5 years ago when I purchased my last car and absolutely loved it, but it was considerably more than I had budgeted to spend.

Tony listened, and invited me to come out and drive the Q60 convertible the next evening. I figured I would at least drive the car this time (5 years ago I didn't want to torture myself by driving something I could not have). Between that phone call and the test drive, I spent time doing some research. I put together the options I would want and determined the MSRP. I then checked with TrueCar (this is a TrueCar certified dealer!) and found that I could get the car below MSRP. I also checked to see how the car was trending in sales and found I might be able to get it at slightly lower than the TrueCar price.

Additionally, I looked into financing. I found the best rate available at a local Credit Union, and confirmed with them I could finance through them with no money down at a great rate.

When I got to the dealership, Tony was great. He listened to what I wanted in the vehicle and he told me what he had in stock that matched what I wanted. He also showed me a price that was even lower than I had thought I might pay. Talk about not needing to haggle! We took a test drive and I loved this car. I looked at a couple different choices on the lot and selected the one I wanted.

I told Tony and his finance manager, Chris Morton, that I was secure in getting financing through the local Credit Union and told them the rate. Chris asked me to give him a chance to match the rate, so i filled out an application. The next morning, Tony let me know that Chris had found a lender who would beat my best rate! This purchase just kept getting better!

I arranged an appointment to complete the purchase the following day. I was at the dealership for less than an hour. My car was already prepped and waiting in the showroom. I signed papers with Chris, had a quick tutorial with Tony on the car instrumentation, and was introduced to the service director, Mark Bailey, who let me know about upcoming events.

I must say, this was a fantastic, stress free experience. Did I mention i love my new car?
