When I drove onto the dealership lot, my intention...
When I drove onto the dealership lot, my intention was to "window shop". I knew that I needed to purchase a car by the year's end. So, I wanted to begin looking in time to determine what I wanted. My Mom has owned her Toyota Corolla since she bought it brand new in 1999. It still runs as though she'd purchased it yesterday. So, needless-to-say, I KNEW that I wanted to buy the same brand. Two hours later, I was driving off the lot in a 2016 Toyota Corolla "S"!
When I've told others about my intentions and the ultimate results, they were shocked. They were further surprised to learn that I was not coerced into making the purchase. My Sales Consultant, Layne Sohun, did not display any of the "stereotypical car salesman" characteristics. He was attentive to my goals; took the time to identify a vehicle that fits my personality; extremely knowledgeable of the product (exterior, interior and engine); worked diligently to stay within my budget; made appropriate suggestions; assisted in the process of switching insurance companies; and even helped to negotiate a lower rate on my insurance. And, I noticed how well he worked with other members of the sales team.
In conclusion, I feel as though I've made the right choice all-around. Those that I've shared this information with personally, have requested his contact information. There are a few people that I know are looking to purchase a vehicle. And, I'm sending them ALL to Toyota of Greenwich! I'm pleased with my experience! And, I love my new car! For someone that has only worked at the dealership for 4 months, he has certainly made a positive impression. Layne represents the dealership well. I will not need a new vehicle for quite sometime. However, I hope that he (or someone like him) will be there when I need to. Thanks again, Layne!
