Peterson Chevrolet Buick

I have purchased seven brand new vehicles from six different dealerships in my lifetime. The only dealership that has received my repeat business is that of the Peterson dealerships. The repeat business was twenty years apart, but, nevertheless, the experience was comparable. That is, just like previously, the negotiation and eventual deal established I felt was fair. As I had already done my research online prior to this last purchase, I felt both the price of the vehicle and value eventually granted for my trade-in were very fair to both the dealership, and myself. I didn't feel high pressure, and the sales people were, at all times, courteous and respectful. Even when I declined the extra cost items offered after the deal was established, I did not feel like I was being pressured to accept them. About the only negative I can give, is just the amount of time required to complete the deal I perceive to be excessive. My wife, and I spent about four hours at the dealership to test drive, negotiate, and transact the whole purchase. This amount of time is not out of line with other new car purchase experiences I have had at other dealerships, it just seems like a lot of time in general. I have spoken with friends who have related the same general complaint regarding a new car purchase.
