Client Experience: Michelle H, San Carlos

Share on Facebook


San Carlos event planner and mother of three, Michelle, was looking to replace her aging SUV with something that would accommodate the needs of her growing kids. She used Cartelligent to help her locate a hard-to-find Highlander Hybrid and get a below-market price.

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

A: My previous luxury car was becoming expensive to maintain—even just filling it up with gas was pricey! At the same time, my three kids were growing and I needed a larger car that would accommodate their needs as well as my busy schedule.

Q. How did you choose the Highlander Hybrid?

A: I did a lot of research about which vehicles would work for me. I knew that I needed seven seats so the Toyota Highlander and the Acura MDX were my top contenders. The Highlander was the only one that came in a hybrid version which sealed the decision for me. I’m getting about 28 miles per gallon—almost double that of my old car! I also love the captain’s seats in the second row which let my kids each have their own space while I’m driving.

Q. Why did you decide to use Cartelligent?

A: I went to a number of dealers to try to find the car. It was a really difficult vehicle to find and most dealers were asking for a price over MSRP if they could even find it. I was getting frustrated both at the way I was being treated by the salespeople and by their inability to get me the car I wanted. I felt like my time was being wasted by the process. I decided to try Cartelligent to see if they could locate the car I wanted without my needing to invest more time.

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

A: My Cartelligent agent, Harold, was so professional and responsive! He found the exact car I wanted within three days at a price well below what the dealers were quoting me. He handled all of the legwork and paperwork for me—he even took care of my trade-in! It was just such an efficient way to get a new car!

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

A: I was really impressed by the pick-up process. I spent a few minutes signing paperwork and then Billy walked me through all the bells and whistles of my new car. He knew everything about my new Highlander and was able to show me what I needed to know.
