Words of warning. Have the car prepped to go out the door before signing any papers. I signed the paper work and after they washed and cleaned the car I found several deep scratches in the paint where you wouldn't expect them. I had seen the very expensive floor mats in the trunk on my pre purchase inspection but didn't think I needed to count them, on delivery I discovered that it was missing the driver side mat and they said that they wouldn't get me one since I already had signed off on the paperwork. (they did provide me with a mat but it didn't come close to matching the others) If the car you are trading in is not one sold at the dealership, i.e. Volkswagen at a Volkswagen dealership they will only offer you local wholesale prices (you can't find that info on the internet) which is 3 to 4 grand less than KBB bluebook. That's all the bad. My salesperson was very helpful and a car nut which was nice. He linked my cell to the car and since I was coming from out of state he programed my next destination into the Navigation system which was of great help. I had left some personal belongings in my car and he had them Fed ex'd overnight to me. I didn't get a great deal but feel it was fair considering the car I bought was fairly rare in the market place. All the employee's were very pleasant to talk to and helpful. I would not hesitate to do business with them again and would recommend them to my friends. Like anything you need to do your homework to get the best deal.
