I just brought home a 2016 Chevy Cruze last night from Basil last night. I wanted to lease a car that was cheap, got good gas mileage, came with a manual and would get me through the winter for the next couple years. I basically just wanted a new car that I didn’t have to care or worry about. I sent @Kramer a PM a few days ago to see how much a 2 year lease would be, with no money down. He gave me a number that was quite a bit lower than other dealerships I had talked to. I’m always skeptical about car dealerships so I figured I’d go in there and end up paying way more than he said because I didn’t know about some hidden fee. There was ZERO BS in this deal. The number John gave me before I even went to look at the car was 100% accurate and everyone I worked with last night was great. There were no hidden fees and I walked out of there with a brand new car that I don’t even have to pay for until July. The incentives on this deal were insane, the lease is stupid cheap. I haven’t bought a car from a dealership in years and I have never leased a car before this one, but I definitely wouldn’t mind doing business with John and/or Basil again. :tup: ---
