Atlanta car dealer recommendation

Do yourself a favor and sell the car yourself, KBB is giving low values and so are dealers google your car and price under what you’re seeing for sale

If Lagrange is not too far out of your search area, then I would recommend Lagrange Toyota. I go to church with the owners, know most of the sales folks and technicians and have purchased my last two vehicles from them. As stated earlier, do you own research and go in with examples and prices found at other dealerships. Most of the time, I have been able to get my prices matched.

The new Camry SE or XSE are good options in my opinion and super fun to drive.

Bought my current truck from Lagrange Toyota. Pretty good experience as far as car dealerships go. They even sent someone up to Snellville to drive me back to the dealership to finish paperwork and pick up the truck.

I was in the market for a new car. Everybody has heard the horror stories about car dealers and the closing and finance etc.

I had done my research and made my wife test drive 6 different vehicles for a week each. (Turo) I was in the market for a Hyundai Santa Fe hybrid. I tried using Costco's auto buying program but this car was ‘not a available’ under that program. But they could sell me one for MSRP +4k.

Long story short. All the dealers in this area wanted MSRP +4-6k and I had to wait.

I used the Hyundai vehicle finder and ended up buying from a dealer in Cookeville TN at MSRP. I sent a $1,000 deposit and was given an approximate delivery date. I added the words in as delivered condition with zero dealer add ons to the contract they sent me.

I got a call and dragged a car trailer up and back (200 each way) to save $4.000.

Explore your options and don’t be afraid to go out of state. My closing (my first) was a breeze. They offered a series of options. I declined everything except the extended warranty.

How do you like the Santa Fe hybrid

How do you like the Santa Fe hybrid

My wife loves it! She had a Suburban she drove for more than 10 years and, price is no object, we could have picked any new car she wanted.

We had the wife ‘test drive’ a number of vehicles for a week each. We used TURO and drove the non hybrid version. TURO allowed us to rent some of the cars unavailable at the car rental companies. She drove the Honda CRV, Chevy Equinox, Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV-4, and the BMW M3, and liked the Santa Fe best!

35+ mpg. I only drive it once a week to run it through the car wash, vacuum it out, and visit the gas station. The acceleration is amazing, and some of the safety, driver assist/electronic technologies are very impressive.
