Holler Hyundai

Approaching the dealership we headed right to the pre-owned lot. Why? Because years ago I said I would never buy a new car - buy a 1-2 year old car and let somebody else buy the new car smell and the depreciation. So when Ronnie the salesperson asked, "Have you considered a Hyundai?" I rolled my eyes and said she could practice her pitch on us (felt I owed her at least that since she walked us out to a pre-owned Acadia that we instantly ruled out because of the captain seats in the second row. What transpired over the next hour was the closest thing to an out-of-body experience I can recall in recent years. First, my wife fell in love with a Veracruz (this isn't someone's last name, it is Hyundai's 7 seat crossover). Then came the test drive - she was nearly giddy up front driving while I sat in the back repeating to myself, "This is a Hyundai? This is a Hyundai?" As I was tensing up for the hard sales close, I was disappointed, because there wasn't one. Ronnie was fine with me saying, "Well, you've given us plenty to think about" when she simply replied, "That's fine, we'll be here for you when you are ready to make a decision." Two days later we returned for one final look - perhaps we just got caught up in the moment earlier - but upon the second look we were just impressed. What then happened was truly an out-of-body experience. No haggling, no negotiating, no tricks, no "well, let me run that by my manager"... a fair price ($1,000+ less than the Edmunds TMV I had in my hand). Ronnie and the rest of the Holler staff was simply fantastic. Do yourself two favors if you are in the market for a car - check out a Hyundai and if you are in the Central Florida area, definitely do it at Holler Hyundai.
