Derek definitely went above and beyond!
I recently purchased a new Subaro Forrester with the help of Derek and his team. I also used them a couple of years ago to purchase a new Honda Civic. I remember what a long draged-out experience it was before I met Erik. It took most a full day and the back and forth with people I never met was excruciating. Needless to say working with Deriek was such a pleasure. I told him the car I was interested in and he wewnt to work while just waited for his call. When he found the car I wanted all I had to do was go to the dealership and sign the papers; no hagaling with the salesman and the folks in finance, What a simple and stress free experience it has been. I highly recommend Derek and his team. You will be very please with the results.
Great communication. Quick Response. Got us the exact care we wanted!

A car dealer not honoring internet price, is a very common phenomenon. Here’s why some of them are doing it.
There’s a myth out there that buying a car at the end of the year is the best time to buy. I’ve also heard buying at the end of the month or quarter is best. But, I just don’t buy into that notion. I know from experience, the only way to ensure you are getting a good deal is by making dealerships compete.
Before you buy a car there is plenty you should do. Take your time, as this is one of the most expensive purchases you can make. There is no sense in rushing into a car purchase. These are the essential steps in preparing to buy a car.
