Being in the market looking for a different car I was checking all of the sources that I could…read morefind, new dealerships, used dealers, auto mags, classifieds, online listings, and yes, even Craigslist.
Way into my search after looking at a few car I saw an online listing for a Mazda3s for sale in Black along with a few pictures.. The listing did not say much, but it had a phone number, and said to call for more information. I called the number and reached a Mr. Ben Miller. We talked for a while briefly over the phone, and he told me whatever I asked about the car.
Now this is where the excellent service part comes into place. I told him about my schedule over the next few days, and he said that if he had the car he would meet me early Sunday morning if I wanted to take a look at the car. We all know that car places are closed on Sunday., so that was great. But since it was a nice car, and I wanted to take a look at it before somebody bought it, I made a crazy suggestion, that if he wanted I could take a look at it after school, and I finished with other stuff, and 10 PM.
What do you know, agreed. I was kinda shocked to that part. I drove from Raleigh to Greensboro late at night and he met me at his office late at night. He was just one of the nicest car sales person you could ever meet. So we test drove the vehicle, and it handled well, was clean on the inside, and appeared to have been painted on the outside. We went inside and talked numbers, then I agreed to purchase the vehicle.
While he was filling out all of the paperwork he told me about some of the things that he did. One thing he can do is buy cars and sell them to you. Not exactly a broker, but similar from my understanding. This is how it works from what I can remember:
1) You specify the exact car you want, make, model, color, options, etc., and he finds it for you.
2) He goes to the dealer and buys it way cheaper than a normal person can. Way below invoice, and what the dealer is actually paying the car manufacturer for it.
3) Then he sales/leases you the car, are a low price.
4) You drive away happy and become a loyal customer for the future.
All in all I would recommend buying a car from Miller Auto Sales in the future, and I think it is even worth the drive from Raleigh to Greensboro, or whatever part of town you are from to get a car from him. After all, who doesn't want to save a ton of money.
