Scott McFarland Review of Prestman Auto

This is the first branded title car I've ever purchased. There are pros and cons with such a vehicle (deeply discounted price / no manufacturers warranty, etc) but do your homework and understand the process before going this route.
Trevor Durfey was the guy that helped me out, and he was a professional from start to finish. I live in MT so the deal was made sight-unseen (which is also a first for me), but Trevor guided me through the process, sent tons of information about the vehicle and the reason for the 'branded title' designation. I also hired a 3rd party inspection which showed that the vehicle was repaired correctly with care and precision, a credit to the mechanics at Prestman.
Many dealerships will aggressively push extended warranty programs and finance options, and while Prestman offers them, I felt no pressure one way or the other. The "final price" sticker is exactly that -- final and best price offered. Those that like to haggle will find no wiggle room (which some people like, others not so much). I didn't mind it, and as we didn't have a trade-in we skipped right over the offers & counter offers. As with any dealership, there will be some paperwork fees on top of the final price, just make sure you know and understand them before making a deal -- that's just common sense for any auto dealership you work with.
We found a company that delivered the vehicle right to our door and now that we've had it for a while, we have nothing but good things to say about Prestman and the vehicle we purchased. Trevor is in my contact list, and we'll give him a call next time we're in the market.
