I cannot say enough good things about the sales process at Stanley Chevrolet in Kaufman, Texas. I’m not one for all the high pressure stuff that goes on at some dealerships, and this time the “buying experience” was great.

I can also say that it even trickled down to the finance guy. When you’re filling out the final paperwork and signing your life away you normally get a sales pitch from the finance guy about some high-priced extended warranty or gap insurance or whatever else he wants to sell. Sure, he asked about it and if I wanted it, but I was actually able to get away with saying that I’d talk to my wife about it–and he left it at that. No pressure, no “are you sure” and other stuff that goes on at other dealerships. Anyhow, I’m not usually one to go out and write stuff about companies just for writing about them. But I thought I’d at least tell you that I’ve had a great experience at Stanley Chevrolet.

More pictures, photos, reviews, comments, and snotty remarks (if warranted) about my new 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab truck later…

Well, I stopped by Stanley Chevrolet and found a 2006 Chrevrolet Silverado Shortbed Crew Cab 1500 2WD with the Votec 5.3L 295HP Iron Block V8. They quickly were able to give me the price I wanted along with the zero percent financing (which is great) so I can keep my hard-earned cash in the bank gaining interest while not having to pay to finance the vehicle. If you can get zero percent financing on a vehicle, it’s definitely worth it; this is the 2nd vehicle I’m financing this way. All of your money goes towards the principle, and not any finance charges.

Well, here’s the stats of my new 2006 Chrevrolet Silverado Shortbed Crew Cab 1500 2WD with the Votec 5.3L 295HP Iron Block V8, and I’ll post some photos soon. I am scheduled to pick it up after work tonight, August 1st, 2006. Did I say it was the last 2006 Silverado they had on the lot? And I’m getting a decent price on my trade in, too, more than anyone else have offered me.

My favorite feature is the Dual Zone Air Conditioning, especially because I’m cold blooded and my wife is warm blooded. Or is that the other way around? I’m always wanting cold AC right in my face; my wife can’t stand that. That’s OK, as now I’ve got the dual AC, baby!
