Okay, so I’ve been needing a new car for a while, and I’ve had my eye on Kias. They look nice, seem reliable, and the price is right. I live near Baton Rouge, so I figured I’d start my search there.
First, I jumped online and did some general searching. You know, just typed in “Kia dealerships Baton Rouge” to see what popped up. I got a few hits, and started browsing their websites. It was a bit overwhelming at first, seeing all the different models and options.
I narrowed it down to a couple of dealerships that seemed to have good reviews and a decent selection of cars I was interested in. I made a list of the specific models, like the Sportage and the Sorento, that caught my eye.
- Checked online inventories.
- Compared prices (roughly!).
- Looked at dealership reviews.
Visiting Dealership 1
I decided to go on. I wanted to visit the dealership near me. I had a list of cars to check. I went in, and a salesperson greeted me. I told him what I was looking for, and he showed me around. We took a couple of cars for test drives. It was helpful to actually sit in the cars and get a feel for them.
Visiting Dealership 2
Next, I headed over to the second dealership on my list. This one was a little further away, but their website had made a good impression. I repeated the process: talked to a salesperson, looked at cars, and took some test drives. One car got me feeling good.
Finally, I still spent some more time researching online, comparing prices, and reading reviews. It’s a big purchase, so I wanted to be sure!
I felt much more confident about making a decision. I have a better view on what I want.
