What People Say

""Although it has been several months since I purchased my Discovery, I am finally getting around to writing to tell you what a great experience I had and have had since my purchase. I felt I could not let this go without letting you know how professional, friendly and easy my purchasing experience was. When contemplating another Land Rover purchase, I visited several dealerships including the 3 local Land Rover dealers and CarMax before I actually heard about you guys. Every time I would pull onto one of their lots, I dreaded turning in because in my opinion, there is nothing worse than purchasing a car and dealing with a car salesperson. I had just about given up until I came to you guys one afternoon after work. The anticipation of going to another dealer ruined my day. Much to my surprise, I pulled in and was greeted by everyone in the office. I believe before we even talked about cars, we were talking about other things which was a relief and within minutes, I knew I was at the right place. I have purchased several new vehicles and never would I return to the same dealer to purchase another car which is kind of scary, but true. You guys immediately stopped what were you were doing and walked the entire lot with me. Since I didn't know exactly what I wanted, you started at one end and we went vehicle by vehicle until I had seen them all and not one time did you ask me when I was going to purchase a vehicle, if I was purchasing it today, or tell me that several people were looking at a specific vehicle and I better buy today before someone else gets it. What a relief! Although I didn't see anything I wanted that day, I did tell you what I was looking for and you actually took the time to converse with me via phone when you had something I was interested in. Although I called and emailed several times, no once did I not receive a call or email back. What other dealer would respond to every message or call they received? None! You made me feel like I was your only client and that proves to me that this is the reason that you and your team are so successful at what you do. I will be one of those customers that says "Sold to Jeff - Dallas, GA. 3rd, 4th, 5th Land Rover purchased from us". Keep doing what you are doing, don't change any of your tactics, and you WILL continue to double or triple your sales year over year without a problem. I'm not one for recommending others and being responsible for others experiences but I WOULD recommend you to anyone that asks me. It's amazing how many people will stop me and ask about your business. In my opinion, your honesty and pricing philosophy will take you far beyond any other dealer. Thanks again and I look forward to another purchase soon." "

""Dear Ken, - I've been meaning to write and thank you for taking the time to find me the exact vehicle that I wanted. I know I was overly picky, and to be honest, I still can't believe that y'all found such a perfect vehicle. Thank you so much for your patience. For a couple of years now, I've been following your webpage and contemplating contacting you. However, despite all the testimonials on your website, I had my misgivings about purchasing a used Land Rover from an out of town dealership (particularly "sight unseen"). Well, now I'm a believer. I have owned or leased numerous Land Rovers and can tell you that this is the most flawless new or used Land Rover that I've ever had. Heck, it doesn't even leak oil!!! To say that I'm enjoying my 2000 Kent Green Range Rover is an understatement. I literally look forward to running errands - it's like I just got my driver's license all over again. I'd also forgotten how good it feels to drive a Rover - the high seating position, slight body lean, solidity, etc. I'm having fun getting the vehicle geared up for this fall's hunting season, and I've already taken it off road (it performed remarkably). The "Green Hornet" is already a family fixture - my little boy and dogs love riding in it. Thank you again for everything. When I get around to taking some photos of my dogs in the truck, I'm going to email them to you (assuming you can stand to have a photo of 2 miniature wiener dogs in a Land Rover on your website). P.S. Ken, thank you for mailing the extra key - it was the perfect clincher to a perfect transaction.""

""Dear BVLR I notice your “It’s a about your family’s safety” picture on the home page and completely agree with you. You will probably notice my profession…this note is nothing to do with professional endorsement…it’s more personal than that. I purchased a Landrover Discovery from you back in January 2004 and have been extremely happy with it. It is a great looking vehicle, a really nice ride and I always knew it was a “safe” car. Unfortunately, the safety factor was very much put to the test a week ago…I was traveling to Clemson SC from Augusta and was hit head on by a car that swerved onto my side of the road. No sooner had we seen the vehicle swerve did our airbags activate…it was that quick. We were forced off the road and rolled several times down an embankment landing on our side. I had my family in the car, couldn’t open any door, so I crawled out of the window and opened the trunk. My wife and 3 girls walked out of the vehicle without a scratch. It was a pure miracle. The Landrover is totaled and our (good) condition amazed every emergency person who attended the scene. I am truly thankful to God and Landrover for this miracle. I hope to never repeat this study, however it proved the superior safety factor of Landrover. SO, in a couple of weeks I will be coming to visit y’all and will be looking for a replacement Discovery. I will also be looking for an LR3 for my wife, time her mini-van was retired…!!! " "

""Hi, Ken... First, the 1996 320SL I purchased from you back in late May is AWESOME! It runs perfectly...and my mechanic says the car is in excellent condition. I thank you for both giving a car to me in that top condition...but mostly your honesty. I want to write a letter to you....complimenting you personally, your team, and your company...for providing me with accurate and honest information about the auto....providing to me a "more than" a reasonable market price for the auto...and personal service, care, and attention that I never knew existed in the used auto industry. You set a standard of excellence, honesty, fairness, and sincere personal attention uncommon in the world of business...period....let alone in the auto industry. Please provide me with your full name, title, address....to send my letter to you. Should the letter be on paper (which is easy for me to do) or via email? I want to "go the extra mile" with my testimonial letter to you...so please tell me how best to do that for you...to encourage more car buyers to consider your organizaton. Thank you. ""

""Ken, and All the Wonderful Folks at BVLR - We have had our 02' Discovery II that we purchased from BVLR for a little over two and a half months now and enjoy it greatly. Every day I am impressed by the performance and quality in a Land Rover. I have owned other four wheel drive vehicles and other luxury vehicles, but none having a combination of the two, in one vehicle with such high standards of each. I look forward to dealing with BVLR on our next Rover too. With the summer winding down and the kids getting back to school my wife and I are getting caught up on things that we have had to prioritize in getting done and sending you a picture of our rovers in our rover has been one of them that fell a bit down on the list but please find the attached photo with this e-mail. Pictured in our Rover are our 2 Dalmatians. Grover on the left and Indy on the right. Our dals are both "rescue dogs"... not to say they rescue anyone, but both were dogs that we have acquired saving them from adverse circumstances. Grover was abandoned near our home out in the orange groves here in central Florida, hence his name Grover. He was left along side a blacktop road near our house with a half a sack of dog food and a half a box of doggie biscuits. As irresponsible as I feel his previous owners were, someone had spent a great deal of time in training him. He is very well mannered and has been a wonderful addition to our household. Indy was a puppy that we rescued from a "back yard breeder" in a small town in Indiana. Naturally we call her Indy. She is a very special Dalmatian in that Indy has grey spots. Actually her color is called blue by the folks of the dog world. Since she is an AKC registered dal it was also a point in finding the appropriate registered name also. Her registered name is "Ivygate's Indigo Girl. Since the AKC standards only recognize two colors for Dalmatians, black or liver, she had to be registered as black. As you can see in contrast to Grover, a true black spotted dal, she definitely has grey spots. She's really a novelty at Kennel Club meetings and dog shows. Thank you for the opportunity to have the picture of our rovers on Rovers and Their Rovers on the BVLR web site. " "

Barry and Karen - Auburndale, Florida

""I just wanted to finally send you guys a note to thank you for our whole purchasing experience. The friendly service without the typical "car salesmen" approach was greatly appreciated. From my first visit when I met Chris, to a few months later when I met Ken and Eric, it was the easiest process I've been through in purchasing a vehicle. Its hard to believe its been almost a month, but my wife and I have had such a good time driving our Range Rover (and "Worthington", our nickname for the voice on the navigation system..LOL!), that I'm just getting a chance to send you guys a note. Great service, great price and a great looking Range Rover!""

Dewayne and Tiffany

""Thanks for the great LR. We love it, so do bear and chewy!! You guys were all so nice, especially Lisa. We will let everyone we know about Atlanta's best kept secret!!""

Kurt, Gwen, Bear and Chewy - Phoenix City, Alabama

""Ken You guys are the best. I brought my Discovery in yesterday and you diagnosed it as a bad injector rather than the valve job the dealer wanted to do. The car now runs like new with 133,000 miles on it. Alan was great as he actually explained his process of how he reached the diagnosis. I will tell every Land Rover owner I see about your shop and what a great place you have there.""

Tony - Cumming, Georgia

""Ken, Thanks so much for all your help over the years. I think these are the third and fourth Rovers we have bought from you. We use them often and their rugedness is essential in NW Montana. Notice the four bales of hay behind the 95 classic. We have two daughters, Elizabeth and Vivian, Tinker the Jack Russel Terrier lots of horses and chickens. (click here for pictures) Teri and I would love for you to look us up if you are ever near. Glacier National park is about 15 miles to the Northeast. ""

Teri, Robert, Elizabeth and Vivian - Montana - USA

""Thank you to every one who helped bob and I with our recent purchase. We spent a lot of time, at a lot of different Land Rover dealers and found every one at Bear valley helpful, professional and NOT pushy! Making the step to a more expensive SUV (i had a jeep) was not an easy pill for me to swallow, you were all patient and nice. I LOVE my discovery so much before i went to bed i made sure it was still there and as soon as i woke up this morning i went to say "hi" to it. I will recommend you all to every one interested in an SUV. thank you again""

Bridgett and Bob

""Greetings to Everyone - Just a short note to let you know what a pleasure it has been doing business with you. Fay and I were on pins and needles until the '97 Disco arrived and we began to prove our point with all of our negative friends. Our mechanic (he has taken care of all of our vehicles since we moved to Charlotte eight - or is that nine - years ago) is skeptic #1. However, he inspected the previous LR's found in Charlotte and we turned them all down based on his advice. BUT, he didn't get any input into the final purchase. Since he bought my truck and he will be doing all the work on our remaining vehicles including the '97 Disco, he moderated his stance. Even with the glitch last Saturday - it was a clip in the gear shift knob - he has come over to the positive side. We must tell you though, that an 85 year old former Land Rover owner (he no longer drives) came out and said, "Waldo, I've gotta take a look at this vehicle." After he looked it over real good, he jumped into the driver's seat and looked straight in my eye as he offered this quote, "Waldo, it appears to me that the Gods of Good Fortune have indeed bestowed a blessing upon you and Fay." And that's how we feel. It has been a great addition to our lives. Since I drive about 25 miles - one way - to work and Fay drives about 3 miles to work, needless to say, it is her daily ride. HOWEVER, I do get it on weekends and we'll be taking part of our vacation in it on a "land Cruise" through West Virginia! So, to sum it up: Thanks so very much for being in the business of "helping" people buy Land Rover vehicles. (Nobody likes to be sold!) It's unbelievable how far above the competition you find yourselves. Thanks to the whole team, you are all stars.""

Waldo and Fay

""I've been reading over the comments on your site and there are many great comments about satisfaction of purchase, your knowledgeable sales staff, and the ease in which the sale is made. All that is true of course, however I have something to add from a woman's point of view. You probably don't realize how nice it is to come onto a car lot and be treated seriously, and I appreciate you and your staff doing so. You wouldn't believe how many times a sales person looks at my husband while talking mileage and looks at me while talking about the location of the cup holder. In 1998 when we bought our '96 Discovery, I was pleasantly surprised at the conversation/advice Ken and Bill provided my husband and myself that helped us make our final decision. Now, 7 years later and with a couple kids in the mix, we needed something else and only had eyes for the Range Rover. We dealt with Chris this time. His knowledge was apparent from the beginning and his manner was just as courteous as what we have come to expect from BVLR. Thank you for a fair, straight forward car buying experience. By the way, the drive back to Cincinnati was great. We love our 2001 Range Rover! See you in another 7-10 years! ""

Tori and Chris

"I just wanted to say that it has been the best car buying experience I have ever had. Not only was your staff extremely professional and helpful, they were genuinely happy when I finally found my perfect range rover. I looked for this car for a year and always came back to your store when your "new arrivals" came. It was not until this week that my perfect range rover arrived and I purchased it hassle free. Every time I came onto your lot in the past year you treated me with respect and a warm smile, even though I still had not bought one, until now. My only hope is that everyone could have a car buying experience like the one you provide. I will definitely recommend anyone I know looking for a range rover to visit you. thanks again ""

Mark J.

"A quick note of thanks for the fantastic and friendly service I received in buying my 2004 SE7 Discovery II. You were always quick with answers and quick with a response when I contacted you. In addition, Chris did a great job at leading me through my large areas of ignorance in Rover knowledge! From educating me to rapidly taking care of the financing and paperwork, you and your staff were always warm and friendly, ready to help with whatever I asked, and considering the eight hour round trip to make it to the showroom, that was much appreciated. I've recommended you to everyone who's complimented me on the new truck. Good luck and thanks again. Enclosed is a photo of our two dogs, Barney and Toby. They're still adapting to jumping in the back as opposed to the backseat, but they'll make do! ""

""Hi! I'm back in the States for holidays and happened to be flying AirTran to Ohio last night, where I saw your ad in their mag. It must have worked because the first thing I did this morning after checking email was go visit your site! I live in Kenya, and the only thing I desperately want more than a good little Disco is a dog, so the BVLR pictures were right up my alley. Unfortunately neither a Disco or a dog is possible at the moment, but I'll be keeping you guys on my radar for the future! One other comment I wanted to make was on your ad copy, where you listed the countries to which you'd shipped vehicles, something like "Georgia, Italy, Germany, Africa..." Hey we're not all one country! :) I know you guys know that of course, but you'd be surprised how many people I've run into who think Africa is just one big country. It doesn't bother me, but it seems to be a pet peeve of people born there. But in any case, good job on the AirTran spot, and on the site, and I hope to be back in a buying way in the future! Thanks & take care ""

Jess - Kenya, Africa

""Ken, My wife and I are very pleased with the 2001 Discovery Series II we purchased from you earlier this month. It has turned out to be the perfect vehicle for our family. The buying experience at BVLR is easy. Thanks for running a business in such a straightforward and honest manner. We will be back for service from BVLR!""

Thanks - Eric & Rachel - McDonough, GA

""I read about you in an in-flight magazine on an AirTran flight from Raleigh to Houston (through Atlanta). I have to admit I have always fancied a Land Rover but always felt that I could never afford one. And my favorite would be the Defender which I found is no longer made in the states because Landrover wouldn't install an airbag (or so I was told by a local sales associate). Is there anyway you could let me know what the Defender sells for? And how available they are? Sorry to read about the lawsuit. That sounds completely asinine. I hope that Ford and Land Rover UK realize that. Thanks for any information you can pass along to me. Would certainly help me decide whether or not a Defender is a reachable dream or if I need to settle for a Jeep Wrangler for the time being.""

Thank you - Sean - N.C.

""Hello, I wanted to thank you for the opportunity and privilege to own a Land Rover - Range Rover, the "upper end" vehicle of my dreams. Your partner and staff were very professional, polite and pleasant to me. The test drive was great and the sale was effortless and quick. Thank you again and many happy sales! ""

Respectfully - John - BV1882

"I have no intentions of buying a Land Rover. At least not now but I was flying back to Atlanta from Newport News on an Airtran flight--The most comfortable flight to date- when I read an article on your company, its beginnings and straigtforward approach to doing business. I must say that I really appreciate a company such as yours who tries very hard to offer your clients sound products with an equal statue of honesty and customer satisfaction. I got off the plane with a renewed sense of prupose for my new company. Great job! We need more businesses with models such as yours.""

Terrell - Atlanta, GA

""Dear Ken - Today, you made my day when I purchased my Discovery II from your establishment. I had, before coming to Bear Valley Land Rovers, visited several other dealers hunting for a Discovery that I would be happy with. When I walked in the door I was immediately met by Chris who is a well knowledge man in the Land Rover / Range Rover product. He informed me of things I didn't know and made the experience for me pleasant. When I met you, I was also greeted with kindness and the knowledge that you shared with me and excellent deal that you made me made my experience even better. I can't express to you how happy you have made me with your courteous, knowledgeable and generous offer made to me on my trade. After my search, it was such a relief for me to stumble across you and Bear Valley Land Rovers. This will be the beginning of a long lasting relationship. No matter where I am in the U.S. when in need for a new truck, you will be the first call I make. Again, to you and Chris - Thanks!!!""

Regards - Michael - Philadelphia, PA

""Ken, Thanks for all the help. Your lot guy (sorry I cant remember his name) was really helpful. The Rover did great on the way home. I gave your name to a guy's wife at the car wash Sat am when I overheard his wife telling her girlfriend that her husband "wanted one of those Discovery's...dont know why he wants to sell his MB convt, but hes got it in the paper and will prob just go for trading it in. Made he'll call you this week. Their high school daughter also drives a MB, and Mom was driving a new Toyota Seq. Good Luck, if he calls. Thanks again""

""Mr. Ford - I have read with great interest your lawsuit (in full) filed against Bear Valley Land Rover Vehicle Sales, Inc. as well as the letter threatening legal action due to the opening of a second location of BVLR. I purchased my 97 Disco from Bear Valley in 2000 after a referral to them by a long-time customer. I didn't make an appointment to see their Rovers but showed up at almost closing. I told them I really wanted a Disco. They first told me what I already knew -- that they sold "gently used" Land Rovers and were NOT a franchise dealer; then they showed me around and told me to take my time looking. It was a wonderful NO PRESSURE experience. I looked at all the Discos in stock. And then I saw her - it was love at first sight. But she now has just over 100,000 miles and some wear on her. I have pondered all year trading my girl in and buying a NEW Disco. I want to personally thank you for helping me reach a decision. Lady Dawg will not be leaving my side! I visit Bear Valley maybe twice a year when I take Lady Dawg in for "check-ups". It's a great experience each time - they never make any repairs without fully discussing it with me (including cost), they know my name, they have my Disco ready when they said it would be ready, and they help me keep costs down by looking for used parts when that is a viable alternative. In sum - they provide EXCELLENT SERVICE. Is that what scares the big boys at Ford - it should! If you are worred about "unfair competition" - keep worrying! Until Ford can reach the level of service that Bear Valley offers, Ford will always be in little Bear Valley's shadow And just for the record, in my presence, they HAVE NEVER referred to their business as a franchise LR dealer. FORD SHOULD BE SO LUCKY. If I ever trade in my girl it will be for a pre-2000 model. Know why? Because March 17, 2000 was a sad day in Rover history. I will NEVER again own any product associated with Ford. I grew up in a Ford family and I do wonder how you can sleep at night - the company sold my family a Rambler station wagon (that one lasted one whole year before my mother pushed it in the creek when it wouldn't crank for the 360th morning of the year), two Pinto station wagons (dad thought surely the first piece of junk was just a fluke), a LTD ( apparently stood for Let's Try to keep the Damn thing running!), and my personal favourite - a Tempo (I did get to visit a lot of small towns in the south though when it broke down constantly starting at about 20,000 miles). We are now anything but a Ford please family. Mother drives a Buick and says "best car I've ever owned, my brother is on his second Saturn (also owns a 66 Rover), his wife owns a Chevrolet product. I'm considering a second car purchase of a convertable in the next two years - rest assured it will be anything that Ford doesn't own. For the record, I am head of the accounting department for the second-largest tax preparation firm in the nation (not H & R Block but the next company). We have over 1200 offices in 30 states. I'm sharing the Bear Valley lawsuit information with my friends and co-workers in those 1200+ offices. And guess what? I checked with our attorneys at Lord, Bissell and Brook and LEGALLY I can share anything I like through my personal e-mail with my friends. I am so proud of Bear Valley's success. I knew they were good. Ford's fear of this little company in Roswell, Georgia illustrates just how damn good they are! I would suggest for the sake of your company's success, you drop this crock of a lawsuit and take some management lessons from Bill and Ken! Sincerely, Clare L PS Ken - Hope the dogs are well!" "

""Ken, My son Robert and I appreciate the prompt and courteous service we recieved last Thursday while purchasing our 2003 Disco II. On our drive back to Florida we did between 75 and 80 with air and cruise, we got 18 miles per gallon. This made me very happy as gas mileage was a big concern for me. The comfort and style of this vehicle is unbelievable. I have not been this excited about a car since I was a 16 year old kid. My wife just laughs in disbelief as I yell "This is awesome!" everytime we go for a ride. She says I'm a 42 year old teenager. Oh yeah, one more thing. My 9 year old son said for you guys to get that picture that yall took of us on the web page so he can show it off to his friends. You'd think the Rover was his as much as he shows it off. What can I say... Like Father, Like Son." "

Bob and Family - Florida

""Ken - Thank you very much for helping me purchase a 2001 Range Rover from Bear Valley Land Rovers. You were very helpful and considerate regarding my many questions. I received the vehicle yesterday. It is an absolutely gorgeous vehicle. The condition of the vehicle is outstanding. Everything that you said about it is true. It is truly a wonderful vehicle. Thank you very much. I have already been telling my friends about the quality vehicles that are coming out of Bear Valley Land Rovers.""

John K. - Boulder, CO

""Ken - I met my boyfriend, Miguel, and his Discovery Series Land Rover two years ago. Three months into our relationship the Land Rover left Miguel stranded. Three months later, again, and again, and again. It was always something different wrong with the Land Rover, but one thing was always the same, Miguel was stranded!! Needless to say, I began to despise the Land Rover, besides being unreliable, it was costing him a lot of money. Money my boyfriend could have spent on me! I told him to get rid of it, he wouldn't. I told him to stop taking it to the franchise dealership and find someplace else. He did. He found you! Bear Valley Land Rovers. Ever since the first major service you performed on our Discovery, the vehicle performs like I NEVER knew it could! It drives so smooth & with power! Who knew? Thank you so much for the great service you provide! The Land Rover is now a great driving reliable vehicle, my boyfriend is happy he doesn't have the pressure to get rid of it, and I'm happy because he has more money to spend on me! Your service has made all of our relationships better! I will definitively recommend you! " "

"I just wanted to tell you the new site looks great. No need to call or write back just wanted to give you feedback. We'll be back to you in about a year for 1 maybe 2 rovers. Thanks. "

"I wanted to take this opportunity to extend my thanks and appreciation for how easy you made my recent purchase. On June 9th, 1997, Bill drove down to Buckhead with a beautiful 1995 Range Rover LWB to meet me at the OK Café. I took one look and knew instantly that it would be mine. It proved to be an amazing vehicle that I drove 176,000 miles during seven years of ownership. I purchased the vehicle with 55,000 original miles and I was about the 25th customer of your company. When I recently called to inquire about a new vehicle, Bill remembered vividly, my first purchase. I was most impressed and realized immediately that Bear Valley Land Rovers was a great company. Not only did you sell me a quality vehicle, you extended that original personal touch to draw me in once more. On Saturday, I took ownership of your "Wimbledon" Range Rover. By all accounts and any measure, this vehicle is incredible. Although three years old with 23,000 miles, it is indistinguishable from new. And to think you pleasently, took back my first purchase, which had 231,000 miles, making the transaction seemless. I look forward to many more enjoyable years of ownership. I only wish I was local so that I could benefit from your service facility. If you run it like you do sales, it must be the best anywhere. Thank you for extending your hospitality and care. I know that I will continue to be a very satisfied customer. P.S. - Next time you get in a 2001 or 2002 Holland & Holland, please notify me - I might just have to change out in pursuit of variety."

""Hi guys - Well, the drive back to Des Moines,Ia was absolutely wonderful. I just love my new rover, I couldn't be happier, it was definitely worth the drive. "Land Rover Des Moines" was a little upset and surprised that I didn't buy it from them. I just told them that I got a much better deal at Bear Valley Land Rovers. The amount of money I saved at Bear Valley makes it all so worth it. Thanks again guys, and I am telling everyone where I got it. Take care.""

James - Des Moines, Iowa

"Just wanted to tell you how 'low-stress' and enjoyable my purchasing experience was. The Range Rover is great, and I couldn't be happier. It gave us a great ride all the way back to Arkansas (it's cinder-block aerodynamics not withstanding)! I can't wait to take it up into the Ozarks for some off-road experiences. My wife and kids are thrilled as well. Thanks again for everything. It couldn't have been easier or more enjoyable. ""

Clay L. - Little Rock, AR

""We just purchased a 2003 Rover from you guys and I have to say it was the BEST car buying experience I have ever had!!! Everyone at Bear Valley was up-front and to the point. There was no hassle / no pressure and no gimmicks. No doubt about it, "Bear Valley" is the place to buy a Rover!!! Thanks for putting us in a great ride.""

Zack & Bridget - Alpharetta, GA

"My name is Susan and I live up north in Des Moines, Iowa. I just have to write and tell you that your website is fabulous! I am just beginning to search for a Land Rover, and we do have a local dealership here in Des Moines. Unfortunately, they don't have a good inventory of used Rovers, and the salesman that I spoke to when visiting the dealership seemed to know less about the vehicle than me! It was disappointing at best. The tougher part of the battle, is that I am married to a "gear-head" husband who possesses excellent knowledge about German vehicles (we've owned mostly Audi and BMW, and he's an avid BMW motorcycle rider) BUT he's not at all familiar with Land Rover. This will be my vehicle, so ultimately it's my choice, but I was so hoping to find a salesman that could help my husband understand what makes this SUV so special. John (my husband) loves to have "technical discussions" with the experts, and that's what sells him. I couldn't even take him back to the dealership here because I knew it just wouldn't fly. Needless to say, I was very impressed with every inch of your website. Yes, I think I have read every tidbit! The clencher, of course, is that we, along with the many others, are dog people. I sat at my desk with big tears rolling down my face when reading about your beautiful dogs Cocoa and Bleu. We are the parents of a 10 year old Dalmation who's name is Holly, or just "Hollydog" as her friends call her. As a puppy, she was left with her litter mates by some uncaring owner in a farm field to die. From the day she landed in our home, she was the center of our universe, and still is! We would certainly make the trip all the way to Georgia to visit you and your dealership (Holly too!). Although we do like to support local business here, we ultimately go where we find people that we love to work with, and receive what we think is great service. I know we haven't met, but I think you deserve the feedback on the effectiveness of your website. If we're willing to drive all the way from Iowa, knowing we'll get what we're after, I think you've hit the nail on the head! Now that I've written half a book, I'll stop and tell you what I'm looking for - a 2003 Discovery II SE, not sure about the exterior color (except no blue), and only like the interior in grey or black. I do like the silver/black that is on your website currently. We're not sure of the time frame just yet, but I think we'll be ready in the spring? We'll have to work on the coordination of the trip. (We both stay busy with work and travel.) Thanks for your time. I hope we'll be in touch with you soon. Kisses to your puppy dogs ""
