Jared was a great salesperson to work with~ he had the vechicle I was looking for and figured out two trade ins all online. We came in from out of town and he had everything ready to go in the time frame we had available. Financing was easy and quick. I did have trouble getting a correct form for the ND DOT and it took me three trips there to get it corrected. The receptionist was very short with me and rude every time I called. Otherwise everything would be five stars.

John was wonderful to work with. Sadly, the car I was interested in had been sold the night before I went to look at it. I was able to find a Trax with similar features. Purchase process was month and easy. Financed thru my bank, so all I had to do was write a check! When I decide to purchase something else, I will return. You have St. Cloud prices beat. Had I spent the same money in St. Cloud, my car would have had 60,000 miles on it instead of 13,000.
