If you had one tip for people during the car buying process, what would it be?
Decide on what type of vehicle best fits your personal needs, do the research on it, and then find a dealer and a salesperson you feel you can trust and try not to listen to all the outside tips from friends and coworkers on how to proceed otherwise what should be a great experience can sometimes turn stressful. Trust your research!

What was your very first car?
1977 International Scout (The Beast): This was
the perfect vehicle to align with every 16-year-old boys feeling of
invincibility. The Beast could go over or through just about anything! I was in
the middle of proving that when I took it off of a 4-foot drop-off in the woods
at 25mph and bent the frame. Fortunately, I had saved my money and promptly
purchased a Datsun 240Z…turns out it was really fast.
If you had one tip for people during the car buying process, what would it be?
Be open to looking at different makes and models
on our lot that your sales consultant may recommend after learning about your
needs and wants. After almost two decades in the car business, I have seen many customers
come into the store thinking the only option for them was "Car A"; they then
end up purchasing "Car B" because it suited them or their family in ways they
had not thought about. Trust your consultant!

What was your very first car?
My first car was a hand me down 2003 Ford Explorer. As is the story with most first cars it is your favorite mainly for the memories you have while driving. It got me everywhere I needed to go whether it was school or soccer or through a blizzard times.
If you had one tip for people during the car buying process, what would it be?
My recommendation to new car shoppers is not only research the tech and ratings of the vehicle. You should utilize reputable third-party research to help educate yourself on the vehicle that you feel you will trust for the next 3-5 years. Always keep an open mind toward leasing. Leasing allows our customers to have a new vehicle every three years and take advantage of all of the latest technology at a lower payment than a five year loan.

What was your very first
car?
My first car was a 1991 Chrysler Lebaron Convertible. I felt pretty cool
driving everywhere in a convertible but you don't look as cool when you have to
pop out the switch and use a couple wires to even get the top to budge. However
the popup headlights made up for all that.
If you had one tip for
people during the car buying process, what would it be?
Buying a car doesn't have to be as painful as everyone says. If you find the
right dealership and right expertise you'll love every moment of investing in
your new car.

What was your very first car?
My first car was my Dad's 1972 Dodge Charger, who bought it new when I was 2 years old. It was hemi-orange with a black vinyl top and had a 400cu inch engine, 4-barrel, with the 440 cam in it. I didn't know much about it when I first started driving at 16 years old. I just knew it had awesome acceleration and fun to drive. It felt like I was driving something special. Luckily, I STILL have the Charger and enjoy it whenever I can.

What was your very first car?
1976 Vega Camback GT Wagon. It was a hand-me-down from my mom. She used to use it for running to work. It was a 4 speed manual with lock out reverse. Lots of fun to drive! Its last day was a trip to the beach on an August day. The water pump went out on it!
If you had one tip for people during the car buying process, what would it be?
I think that everyone is different? If you love to drive and care about what you drive, you will like the Mazdas the best! As far as buying a car? Just be honest with us, and we will be honest with you. THOSE DAYS ARE OVER!

What was your very first car?
My first car was a 1995 Toyota Camry in a sky blue color. I bought it my senior year of high school. I was in love with it and thought I was so cool. Not to mention the thing lasted into my late 20's, which was fantastic.
If you had one tip for people during the car buying process, what would it be?
My advice for people buying a car from Ramsey would be to not feel intimidated by the car-buying process. Everyone here is so warm and welcoming and more than willing to help you into something you love!
