It was a day like any other day but soon, my life would be changed forever…read more
I would meet Lee Hansen.
Yesterday, my wife I and decided it was time to stop being fleeced at the gas pumps. We headed out in search of driving and learning about an electric vehicle (EV) We were not intending on purchasing one. It was just an exploratory mission to drive, learn and compare EVs.
We stopped by Lee Johnson Hyundai in Everett and my life's course changed forever.
I saw him.
Yes him. (Not that Him.)
Lee. Low pressure, friendly, informative, well dressed, Lee.
Lee was able to explain, show, demonstrate, explain again, (I'm old) about all the EVs idiosyncrasies. We took a test drive and were very impressed. I would mention the vehicle here but, no. The star of the day was Lee.
Sadly, and I later learned, stupidly, we told Lee thank you for the bountiful gift of knowledge but we must quest on and look at other EVs to further our knowledge.
Lee happily sent me on my way. Kind, friendly Lee did not try to make a "high pressure last ditch effort" to keep me there. He just wished me well and said "I hope I see you again." (Little did I know Lee must be psychic.)
We went to other dealers and engaged and learned bout other EVs. We found a lot of EVs to be a plastic, uncomfortable, cheaply put together with random EV tech thrown around that wasn't even on the same level as what Lee showed us. We thanked the other, low pressure, very friendly but not as friendly as Lee, sales people.
We went back to Lee.
There he was. Not standing impatiently at the front of the dealership, like so many sales people do. He was inside sitting and joking with other people. His face lit up when he saw me.
The word destiny, came to mind. But I digress.
I could go on and on about Lee. But I have to go to work. I ended up purchasing an Ioniq 5. The star of the show should have been the Ioniq 5. It is am amazing EV with a 10yr battery warranty. Not 8 years. Bumper to bumper warranty , for what seems forever and blah, blah, blah.
If you want to buy an EV, Lee will show you what Lee Johnson Hyundai has available. He will explain and help you make a decision. That decision might be to leave and think about the purchase, to go check other dealers or whatever you need or desire.
Lee will help you however he can, No Strings Attached (Not the *NSYNC album reference so no copyright infringement)
It was a pleasure buying an Ioniq 5 from Lee Hanson at Lee Johnson Hyundai. ( Maybe the key is hiring Lee's? Who knows?)
Also a big Thank You to Anthony Hawkins and Joe Frasquillo who I also meet at the dealership. Though not named Lee, they too were wonderful to talk with.
I am very happy
