The sales person did a great job showing the vehicle. He was very knowledgeable about the technical workings of the 2019 Chevy Bolt, which I ended up purchasing. I love the car. I was unprepared for an aggressive negotiation process and feel that I overpaid for a vehicle that I could have gotten for several thousand dollars less at nearby competing dealerships. The importance of a few thousand dollars related to the severity of financial strain while paying it off. We wanted to go full electric to reduce operation and maintenance costs related to gas/diesel engines, as well as reduce our carbon foot print.

This was my first new vehicle purchase. If I were to do it over again I would have planned to walk away after the first negotiation discussion and talked with other dealerships that had cheaper quotes over the phone. John L. Sullivan was doing their job and made money on me. Hopefully others will be more prepared than I was and get a hous deal on a great vehicle.

Update: 1/12/2019
Changed from 3 stars to 2 stars. After my first review, John L Sullivan was quick to reach out to me in hopes to improve the relationship for possible future business. It's been a little awkward playing a telephone game. They say they want to make my experience with their dealership better, but it seems to be backfiring. After my sales experience, and now a telephone back and forth that is not very responsive, I'm not sure about future business here. I'm glad that others have good experience with this dealership and I hope that continues.

The Bolt EV continues to impress. It's turning heads both at work and on the road. Recommend the vehicle if it fits within your routine and the price is right for you. It's quite zippy and intuitive. The range is great too. Electric cars definitely have a place in the future of the car and truck industry. Happy car hunting.
