We are easy to work with but are just asking for you to value our time- No indecisive "time wasters" please . . We welcome a productive discussion to go over any final purchase details & try to assist you as best as we can but cannot spend valuable time trying to convince you of going out of your comfort zone and buying site unseen.

To ensure a professional experience for serious parties, we adhere to the following protocol: No "Sight Unseen" Debates: We are not here to convince you to buy a car over the phone. If you are not comfortable with sight-unseen purchases, we welcome you to schedule an in-person inspection at our dealership it is that simple. Appointments Required: We do not provide "informational tours." If you are not ready to set a firm appointment to view the vehicle in person with the intent to purchase, please contact us when you are ready to make sure said vehicle is still available . Media Requests: We provide professional-grade media; if that is insufficient for your needs, an in-person inspection is your best recourse.
