Bought a car from 21st Century last week (from Diego). Provided I don't run into any surprises down the line, overall I was happy with my experience here.
Bought a 2012 Volkswagen GTI with under 15k miles on it. I had done a pretty thorough search within a 100 mile radius and based on the mileage, year, features and history, this was one of the best deals being offered at the time. Given this there wasn't a lot of room for negotiation on the asking price, but they did take some off for me. When it came time to sign the closing contract, there were no surprises with the price which is good.
Overall I was happy with my experience with Diego. He seemed fairly honest and was generally pleasant to deal with. I asked if we could bring in a mechanic to inspect the vehicle. He did not refuse although did try to brush it off saying the car was covered by its original warranty so if there is anything wrong with it I could get it fixed at no cost to me. While I would have preferred a more positive response to the question, I did call up VW to confirm the assertion and it checked out.
We didn't finance through the dealership so I can't comment on their practices regarding financing. But overall Diego and the dealership seemed honest and I feel like I was able to purchase the car I wanted at a good value.
So at this point in the purchase I'd rate my experience at 4 stars. If you follow standard buying advice, (do you reasearch, knowing your payment options etc), you should be able to get a good car at good value from Diego at this dealership.
