After requesting a quote for a NEW 2025 Hyundai Elantra

After requesting a quote for a NEW 2025 Hyundai Elantra N, Charles texted me 24 hrs. after that. I requested OTD for it and came back as MSRP (NO discounts), $1,744 for Dealership for Life (whatever that means) and taxes, Doc fee and NON- taxes?? Price OTD was $40,807.43. BUT here is the kicker, they made a mistake with a MARK UP OF $3,999 more making it $44,806.43. I was A repeat customer BUT they said for ONLY that day they would sell it to me for the original price OTD at $40,807.43. Thanks Keith Hawthorne Hyundai. That makes me feel special, NOT. Why would anybody shop there with EXTRAS on top of MSRP?? They had 4 of them to choose from. I can't shop there anymore. First impressions mean a lot to a customer. Avoid shopping there.

Great experience from start to finish with my salesman,

Great experience from start to finish with my salesman, Daniel Esquivel. All of my questions were handled in such a professional way, and they were very considerate of my time.

Very friendly atmosphere nobody likes going to the car

Very friendly atmosphere nobody likes going to the car dealer sometimes it can be a long process. However, this was a pretty smooth transition for our family. The music was great and the people are great thanks Larry for all you do.

The experience was really awesome.

The experience was really awesome. The sales person Cayden was very knowledgeable and friendly. Great customer support. The general manager Christian also was very helpful. This is why is the second car that we bought at this dealer. I would recommend this dealer to all my friends and family. The car a Hyundai Kona is our sixth Hyundai in our family.

My wife and I were impressed with the entire buying

My wife and I were impressed with the entire buying process.. even letting us take the car for the weekend to get a feel for it. Everyone we worked with was both professional and genuinely good people. We would buy from them again.

Out of state buyer and purchased a 2024 vehicle.

Out of state buyer and purchased a 2024 vehicle. Confirmed price and all details from home. Flew into Charlotte, salesperson picked me up at the airport, car was ready for test drive and detailed. Completed paperwork and drove away shortly after. Entire process took roughly 3 hours. Great buying experience, courteous staff, and would recommend to others.
