David North - Your Sales Guy
Written by dsarnov on 10/16/2011
I was in the market for a new car in the $20k price range. After doing my research I decided to go with the 2011 Subaru Legacy 2.5l Base with CVT. I did inquire about pricing trough Edmunds.com and I got reply back from Carter Subaru of Shoreline, WA and couple of other dealers. The sales person who responded to my e-mail first was David North. What I noticed right away was that his e-mail tone was very friendly and he seemed eager to earn my business. Unlike your typical car salesmen, he was not pushy at all. In fact he invited me to test drive the car without even asking me when I plan to buy etc. After discussing with David what I was after, he promised me that he would work hard to give me the best reasonable deal and if I decide to shop around I should let him know and give him a chance to beat any better offer I might find elsewhere. Little did I know that he truly meant this! After few e-mails, I decided to lease a 2012 Legacy 2.5l with CVT, Premium and All Weather package. I told Dave that I have little spare time to close this deal and I prefer if we can make this as fast as possible and as hassle free as possible. David North asked me to fill out online credit up, explained my leasing terms via e-mail and sent me a final offer on the desired car. I sent this offer to other Subaru dealers to ensure that I am getting the best possible deal. The other dealers offered me to match the price, but could not beat David’s offer. Because David North was very patient and easy going throughout the whole process I decided to buy the car through him. He assured me that it would be easy and fast transaction, but I had my doubts based on previous car buying experience. I went to buy the car and this is where the magic happened. Everything was as promised. Most of the paper work was done. The price was exactly as David quoted me and the whole process took little over 1hr to complete. I was simply amazed to see that I did not have to renegotiate anything and there was no catch 22s, nor did the finance manager try to sell me extra packages I did not want. This has been the easiest car buying experience I ever had and I have bought quite a few new cars in the past. If you are in the market for a Subaru car, see David North of Carter Subaru in Shoreline. I assure you if you are honest and reasonable with him he will work hard to get you the best deal around. Your car buying experience will be very pleasant and you will be glad you chose David North to be your sales guy. I highly recommend David North to anyone who is in the market for a new car. A+ experience and very pressure free environment!
