On May 28th, my beloved Missy, the Mitsubishi Montero, finally died after 12 years and 290,000 miles. I was devastated. It was the Friday before a holiday; it was raining and my vehicle that was paid for and a part of the family had died. I was in shock and didn't know what to do. After scouring different vehicles on the internet and requesting more information from several dealerships, I received an email from Jim Lovelace at Leith of Wendell. I gave him my information and he invited me down to the dealership on Monday to see the vehicle that I had inquired about. My son and I went down to take a look at the car but it did not live up to my expectations. Jim knew that I needed a car and he also knew that I was in shock over losing Missy, so he graciously allowed me to explain my needs to him, wander around the dealership, whine a little about the fact that I had to buy a car (even though I had gotten EVERY cent's worth from my prior new car purchase) and even test drive a car home to ease into the idea of the purchase! HE was more than accommodating and very helpful.
Even though I was not ready to purchase a car (even though my poor vehicle was ready to retire) it was a pleasant experience at Leith Kia. If you need a vehicle, go see Jim Lovelace. He ROCKS! :)
