I chose four Ford dealerships in the area to try to make
I chose four Ford dealerships in the area to try to make a deal on a new Explorer. AutoNation was the ONLY dealership that showed me respect and courtesy AND gave me a fair deal. I chose AutoNation to do business with. I also like the dealership. It was open and clean and didnt give me the creeps like some of the other places.
Best truck i have owned
This truck has the best interior lay out for me very comfortable has longer bed for hauling and looks good seems to be built very well

As a business customer, dealership does not accept
As a business customer, dealership does not accept Purchase Order. We must abide by the PO terms in the future which is a legal binding contract. Unfortunately, if Hirning will not accept a Purchase Order we will no longer be able to provide check on delivery.
Utilitarian, but a great vehicle
Very happy with the truck. Does not have a lot of towing capacity, but for my purposes, I could not be happier with the truck. It does everything that I need it to do and is very reliable. Handles off road better than could be expected for the size and holds up well.

waiting for approval from a company, they say I am approved but until in my name they want give me the money, so we are still working on it together, so until that issued is worked out I can't take the car home
Best Used Small Pickup for the money.
Nissan Frontier does what is needed for my family and new projects we are working on. Great on long trips, holds all we need when camping or working. Quieter than I expected on the highway. One caveat, the fuel mileage is not as good as I hoped.

Extremely good honest team of people to work with.
Extremely good honest team of people to work with. Would recommend for your next used car. They were super to deal with when a warranty issue arose also. If you actually LIKE high pressure & sneaky tactics this is NOT the place to go :-) My only regret is not having learned of these folks sooner when I was purchasing cars for my daughters. Tri-City you have truly earned a repeat customer !

Your next car dealer!
I was in search of a vehicle and saw one that caught my eye at Nissan of Norwich. When I stopped in to inquire I was expecting the "usual' car dealer pressured approach, and was extremely surprised and pleased that was not the case. I was approached by Chad Tindal, who was informative and answered all my questions with no high-sales pressure. When I came back with my wife to look at the car I was considering, she also found a car she liked, and this great dealership made 2 sales! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a car.

Andy was great to deal with!
Andy was very helpful. He communicated well with me while I was out of town. This made the buying experience painless. When I finally came in to test drive the truck and have it checked out a minor problem was found. Andy and his staff quickly found the parts locally and made the repair so I could still pick it up the same day. Friendly folks that I would buy from again.
