Sunset Kia of Sarasota

Mark Brown makes an excellent presentation: He listens! We went in to Kia with a very specific new vehicle in mind, thanks to Consumer Reports' giving the Sorento a favorable review. I contacted the dealer We went in to Kia with a very specific new vehicle in mind, thanks to Consumer Reports' giving the Sorento a favorable review. I contacted the dealership ahead of time and was transferred to salesman Mark Brown; I explained what we were looking for and what our personal eccentricities required. When we arrived at the dealership, Mark was waiting outside to greet us, having pulled a Sorento which exactly matched the requirements I had listed. He proceeded to explain and demonstrate the various features, and then we took the car out for a test drive. I very much appreciated that Mark did not try to dictate where we drove -- some salesmen do so to minimize bad features, e.g., poor suspension, etc., but Mark did none of that. As we drove Mark asked us further questions and helped us come to more fully appreciate all the car had to offer. While we ended up not buying from him or this dealership, it was only because of a specific unusual physical handicap one of us has which made the vehicle impractical for us. In the end, we would have preferred to continue dealing with Mark Brown. More
