Executive Dodge Jeep Ram of Wallingford
Dealership Sales Review
I have always HATED buying cars... I don't haggle well and tend to cave in under pressure. Never before have I purchased a vehicle without feeling like I've been taken for a ride. (and I don't mean a test drive!) Not knowing what car I wanted, I started browsing at local dealerships and left several of them feeling like I narrowly escaped the circling vultures trying to rip me to shreds. That all changed when I walked into Executive Dodge Jeep in Wallingford. With all my defenses up I shooed away the salesman to "research" the lot on my own. After nearly an hour I decided that I did need help after all and that's when I learned that Brandon is not a salesman, but a sales consultant, so I consulted with him. He listened to my list of things that I needed in a car, the things I wanted but weren't really necessary, and the things that would be nice but are completely unnecessary (and I probably couldn't afford). Without hesitation he said "You should look at a Dart, we've got one here that covers all of your needs and wants and has many of your would likes, too". I really liked the look of it from the outside and when he returned with the key and I got inside... this car fit me like a glove. Brandon hit the bullseye with his first shot. I was almost disappointed to find a car that I wanted so much, since that puts me at such a disadvantage in the next dreaded phase... Negotiating. WAIT... WHAT? No haggling? Best Price First policy? Open, transparent, honest pricing? They showed me what the car cost them, fees, taxes... minus the very generous amount for my trade-in, bottom line.... Done. No muss, no fuss, most importantly no pressure. So, of course, I walked away from the deal fully expecting a call saying "Come back, and we'll make you a better deal." That call never came because they had truly given me their best price, first. So, I wasted a day and a half of my time (and theirs) before going back to take possession of my shiny, new, sexy, sporty 2016 Dodge Dart SXT! I honestly believe that if I were the worlds greatest negotiator, with brass balls and a heart of stone I couldn't have gotten a better deal on this, the perfect car for me, at any other dealership. If you're looking to buy a car, save yourself a lot of time, aggravation, and money by going straight to Executive.
