Reason # 2 I love my Silverado....The buying experience

I've bought a few cars in my lifetime, and I hated buying every one of them until I started shopping at Sweeney Chevrolet. I knew that I wanted a Silverado, but that's about it. My salesman was going to be in for a good time, that's for sure. I walked into the dealership, about 2 hours before they were supposed to close and started looking at the Silverado that was actually in the showroom. Staring in awe, while I tried to figure out what to do he asked me if there was anything he could help me with. "Well, I want to buy a Silverado...but that's about it". I thought that the salesman would do the typical "I don't have all day to help you, but here's my card" attitude I'd gotten at the other dealerships I'd gone to, but surprisingly he politely said "We can help you with that...no problem". He showed me around the dealership, offered me a drink, then took me outside to show me this giant selection of Silverados. This was a little overwhelming until he started helping me narrow down my options by asking me questions like "what color do you want?", "What features do you absolutely have to have", etc. Within half an hour of going outside to look at the trucks, I was test driving a blue granite metallic Silverado 1500. After driving it for about 10 or 15 minutes, I knew this was the right truck for me. It had all the features I wanted, in the color I wanted, and because it was truck month for Chevy, I got an incredible deal on it. Getting back to the dealership with about 20 minutes left until they closed, I expected to be told to come back tomorrow, but instead we sat down and started filling out the paperwork for the loan. Their used car manager went out and appraised my other truck, and after a few minutes of waiting to hear back, I was walking into the Business Manager's office to talk to him about my options regarding financing. My Sales Consultant, a Sales Manager, a Business Manager and the Delivery Coordinator stayed after closing just so that I could drive home in my new truck that night. I even left with a full tank of gas.

The way that I was treated when I was truck shopping is just another reason that I love my truck.
