Dealership Experience

[Cedar Butte]

I purchased from Hummer of Bellevue, WA, it's a Litha motors dealership and is next to their Chevy location.

When the wife and I pulled in with the Beetle the salesman standing out front said he was meeting someone and would call another sales person. BEST THING THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED.

Johnny came out; he was sharp and knew the product inside and out. We took a test drive in the only H3 they had in the lot and then set down and picked one out of the book, Slate Blue with adventure package and towing, and made a deposit. Goof ball by the front door never did have anyone meet him, I think he saw the Beetle and decide we were a waste of his time. I went over and showed him the order when we left just to rub it in.

Two month’s latter on my way to work I saw the car hauler with my Slate Blue on the top back position heading into Bellevue. I resisted calling and at 2PM Johnny called to tell me it was prepped and ready for pickup.

We took both the Beetle and our VW Eurovan weekender in to see what they would give us for trade for either. My wife had to buy a 4WD also since we had moved above the snow line this spring. They gave me a fair first offer on the Beetle and low-balled the van by $7K. I traded the Beetle on the Hummer and we traded the Eurovan for $8K more than the Hummer dealer offered a week latter on a Nissan Xterra. Couldn’t talk the wife into a Hummer also, but she likes to drive mine. The Nissan dealer is next door to and owned by the VW dealer who understood the value of a pop-top VW van.

Johnny asked if I wanted any of the extra packages and gave the correct amount of push back when we said no. We were paying cash so the Finance guy experience was just signing the required forms.

All in all it was a great buying experience and they threw in a tire cover, hardback soft sided with “of Bellevue” in a nice size below the Hummer logo.


Here's a pick of my new tire cover headed down the drive to the house. No question about why I bought a hummer.
