[Merged] Another positive review for Brian Tan @ Mississauga Hyundai
Sorry for the long post below, but wanted to explain my great experience with Brian and I just naturally tend to babble a lot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Been meaning to do this for a while, but wanted to wait until I just picked up my new car (Black 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0 Auto Premium Package).
I've wanted to get a gen coupe for a long time now, and when it came time to seriously start looking at prices, etc. I started to look for a well recommended sales rep that I wouldn't have to fight with to get a decent deal. Way back in November 2011, I heard good things about Brian from various posters on other threads in RFD.
I called him up, we chatted and he told me to come in for a test drive.
Before going for the test drive in November 2011, I told him that I wasn't looking to purchase until about June 2012. I wanted to set expectations so that I wouldn't have to face any salesman wrath like I've experienced at other dealerships where they try to do any and everything to make you buy it on the day of.
I went with my fiance and we test drove a 2012 version of the gen coupe. After the test drive, he spent quite a bit of time answering all of my questions (i tend to ask a lot of things :$...) and we just chatted about things in general. Not once during the entire time did he try to force me into buying anything, or tried to change my mind. It was a much appreciated change from my experiences with other salesmen.
So from November 2011 to about April 2012, I'd randomly call up Brian and asked him about the new 2013 model and he kept me informed of when his dealership would be getting them in, and just kept answering any questions I had.
Near March/April I changed my mind and decided an Elantra would be more practical. Brian told me to come in whenever and he'd workout a great deal for me and helped me crunch some #'s over the phone.
In mid may, i yet again changed my mind and wanted to go back to the gen coupe. Brian told me he could help me get into a 2012, but at this point the stock was very low for the 2013, and that his dealership wouldn't be getting in for a while, possibly up to 3 months.
After calling around a bit, I found another dealership who said they could get me one by the date I needed. I felt a little guilty though as I'm a pretty loyal guy and having dealt with Brian since November of last year, I almost felt obliged to go through him when I bought my car since I said I would. I called him and told him the situation, and he told me to straight up go to the other dealership, because he unfortunately wasn't able to get any stock for the car/trim I was looking for. He knew my circumstances and told me the best decision would be to go through another salesman and get the car in time for my wedding.
He didn't try to convince me to get a 2012 instead for him to make a sale, or try to get me to wait and get the 2013 through him after stock levels would increase.
I ended up going through the other dealership and picked up my new car this past weekend.
But I just wanted to share my experience dealing with Brian @ Hyundai Mississauga and recommend him to any of you looking to purchase a Hyundai. It was a very hassle-free experience, and you could tell he wanted what was best for his clients, even if it meant losing a sale.
If i decide to pick up another hyundai in the future, I will definitely be going back to him. Throwing some pics in of the new car below, not because its relevant, but because it still makes me all giddy inside
