I have to say, if anyone could have a car salesman...

I have to say, if anyone could have a car salesman phobia, I do! Nothing personal, but I associate car salesman with walking into a web with a huge spider right in the center! Last Friday I forced myself to go car shopping. I've needed to do this for the last year. I researched on the internet as much as I could, drove slowly past dealerships many of times, but Friday I finally decided I just have to do this. I started my journey at Premier Mazda of Kansas City. And just how I imagine it, within a second of shutting my car door and no more than a step or two I was greeted by Salesman, Adam Krummel. He was a tall, casually dressed, young man with a pleasant smile. I just didn't get the neon green-orange-pink tennis shoes, other than this must be his trademark. He introduced himself to me and I immediately explained how this is the last thing I want to be doing, I don't like car salesman and I don't want to be here, but I'm forcing myself. He was the perfect salesman for me. He showed me what I wanted to see, honestly discussed pros and cons, never any pressure. Within an hour and a few different test drives, I found a car I liked - but being hesitant about shopping only one dealership, I left to continue my journey. I don't want to drag this out, but gosh was it torture. There wasn't another salesman that knew how to handle my outright honesty of not liking them. Later in the afternoon I decided to stop this torture and I returned to Premier Mazda and there was Adam just waiting for me to return. He grabbed the keys and we went for another drive and so the story ends. I love my Mazda CX5! As we were walking back into the dealership, Adam asked with a smile, do you want to hold hands now. Don't get me wrong, no romance as I'm old enough to be his mother, he made me feel very comfortable. I appreciate the treatment and hope he is still there when I'm ready to buy my next car! Thank you Adam!
