went there to look at a 2001 Toyota Prius with 114K. i have never bought a car before but i am in sales and i knew exactly what i wanted. the car was great but WAY overpriced, nada value 5,700 (approx.) trying to sell it to me for 8600. talked them down to 7700. tried to give me a trade in value on my car of 300. then raised it to 900. (i have an older kia but it has 4 new wheel, all new belts, new battery, working AC, power locks, power windows, cruise control, etc)

i was lucky and got financing from my bank and a low interest rate. the financer guy at Stokes kept trying to get me to go with him. and sales guy treated me like i was a stupid little girl.

it was a terrible experience. i finally said i want the keys to my kia back and im leaving. took them thirty minutes to bring my car "around" front. wtf. had to go in twice and ask were it was. sales manager kept trying to talk to me even after i firmly, but nicely said i am NOT INTERESTED.

i finally left and went to Altman Suzuki on Remount Rd, what a difference! wonderful people there, nice, friendly, non-pushy, respected the fact that i was going with my bank for financing.

bought a nice used car with only 70K and still under warranty for $100 over NADA Value.

moral of the story:

Stokes=bad news and pushy people and over priced cars
Altman Suzuki= great service, friendly, non-pushy, and really good prices.

good luck! :-)
