My second used-car purchase experience was at the Manheim Car King on Paxton Street.
This dealership was selling a 2009 Toyota Tacoma with a fair price considering the low number of miles and rarer cab, bed, and trim-level configuration. I called the dealer on a Monday to confirm the vehicle was still for sale (it was). I came in unannounced that Monday evening to find that the vehicle was being serviced. No problem, I return to the dealer the following Wednesday for a top-to-bottom inspection and brief test-drive.
Joshua was the salesman who greeted me and helped me working through purchasing the truck. He was a bit chatty and wacky if I'm allowed to say, but overall mostly professional while still making me feel at ease. After the vehicle met my initial expectations, I requested additional information and service records from Joshua. He answered promptly and clarified immediately when answers to my questions changed.
He allowed me a second, longer test drive on the truck. I decided I was going to buy it. We were able to reach a good deal on price, which can be hard to find as used car prices are more competitive now. He allowed me to put down a deposit to take the vehicle off their listings, which was not cashed until after the vehicle was sold. He and other staff helped me work through paperwork challenges.
I have owned the vehicle a bit less than a week, and so far no problems. I would like to put a good word in for Joshua and his salesmanship.
I will update this review should I find this dealer is at fault for any trouble.
