Client Experience: Ernie G, Sonoma

Share on Facebook


Sonoma resident, Ernie, was ready to trade in his older Prius for a new car. After reading about Cartelligent online and noting the testimonials, he gave us a call to help find the car he wanted at a great price.

Q. What made you realize it was time for a new car?

A: My Prius was approaching 100K miles, I decided that it made sense to trade it in while it still had value.

Q. How did you decide on the Honda CR-V?

A: I did quite a bit of research online. I looked at Consumer Reports, US News & World Report, etc.

Q. Why did you decide to use Cartelligent?

A: I had decided on the Honda CR-V so I visited a local dealer to take it for a test drive. It was the usual runaround and I was sucked into thinking I was going to get a great deal “today!”. After sitting around for hours for no apparent reason, we were escorted into the finance office to complete the paperwork. Quickly, we found out that the agreed upon price was $5k more on paper. We walked out and I called Cartelligent right away to proceed.

Q. What did you like best about working with Cartelligent?

A: l enjoyed dealing with calm, real people which created a sense of trust. My agent, Mark, responded to all my questions with responses that were clearly informed.

Q. What surprised you about the Cartelligent car buying experience?

A: I got the exact model, trim and color of the car that I wanted. There were no hidden surprises and the entire process was very straightforward.

Q. Would you tell a friend about us?

A: Yes, I already have
