Hi Dave! I purchased my GT1 from Crowley Kia in Bristol and it was an OK experience. I told the salesperson what I wanted and how much I wanted to pay so back and forth we went. I was a dick (on purpose) but in the end I ended up getting what I wanted and they were very professional. I did find the financial lady who I actually ended up going over the numbers with top notch. She really explained everything and didn't mind me and my note pad and my 1001 questions. If I were to do it again I would visit at least two more dealerships. Sales people just tell you what you want to hear which was the reason I'm always difficult with them
I also purchased mine from crowley in bristol. Also mostly positive. As far as the horror stories I have heard from other dealers on this forum, it sounds like they might be one of the "good ones" haha.
