Traded Up






Last Saturday we decided to make a trip to the big city to go grocery shopping. On the way, my wife tells me that she has been looking at a White Chevrolet Traverse at one of the dealers there. We were in the market for a new car since our current vehicle's back seat wasn't big enough to fit 3 car seats. We pulled in and looked around the lot for the Traverse. Just as soon as we entered the lot out popped someone from the sales staff. We pretty much told her that we were just window shopping and we would come and find her if we needed any help. After driving around the lot we found the car that she had been looking at online. We peaked in the windows and drove off, had breakfast and went to the local mall to get some summer cloths for our girls. Once we had completed that little adventure, I pulled the car around to pick them up and while doing so my youngest fell asleep. So we decided to head back over to the dealer to check out that car again. My wife went inside to discuss what they would give her for trade on our current car while I drove around the lot trying to keep the little one asleep. I started stopping and looking inside some of the pickups they had with no intentions of buying one. They all looked great but really pricey.

The little one woke up and we headed into the building with my wife and other daughter. The sales team started dealing with me about a new pickup. I told them not interested. We settled on the Traverse and they let us take it to Wal-Mart to go grocery shopping. On the way to the store we agreed that I didn't need a new vehicle and I didn't want another payment quite yet. We returned to the dealer only to find they had been working on a ploy to get me to buy it. They knocked $11000 off the new pickup and were willing to give me $1000 over the KBB.com trade-in value of my current pickup. I still said not interested and added if you want to sell it to me, you'll have to sell it to my wife. I figured she would have said no but next thing I knew she was asking me if I liked it. I have never been in this situation before, me trying to talk my wife out of buying something. She's the one that always has to tell me no, but me telling her no.... WOW..... We ended up with two new vehicles that day. The cool thing was we got her car for free with the trade-in values of our two trades. We are very happy with the decision we made with no buyer remorse.

If your ever in Rock Springs Wyoming, stop in at First Choice Buick GMC and see how they can help! Great costumer service and a great sales staff.
