The offered the most for trade in, lowest price on the car out the door, and offered free oil changes and lifetime warranty which local dealers do not. Worked the deal with "internet sales person" over the phone. Easy to work with. The funny part was the color we wanted was the exact car we test drove in Leesburg, so they had it delivered to the dealership in Daytona, tinted the windows and added accessories, then had it delivered to the house here in TV. So far so good!
I’d be following up on free oil changes. Some dealerships in pass claim that and don’t change oil. If dip stick black and gooey and there no new filter on they didn’t do nothing. Not saying All dealerships do that but you have to follow up and know if they actually done anything. And it they did make sure it not over serviced ( oil level well above dip stick) which I have experienced at several dealerships. I also make sure the filter and drain plug tight. Trust but verify.
