In February 2019, I purchased a 2019 Hyundai Sonata Limited from Hyundai of Newport and was very pleased with the entire experience. It all started in January when I contacted the dealership by email with my car of interest and the internet sales manager, Greg Slater, responded almost immediately. He assigned Sandy Spanos to help me and I made an appointment to drive a Hyundai Sonata with a 2.4L engine. I found Sandy to be a very friendly guy who went out of his way to make me feel welcome. I told him at the outset that I was starting my search for a new car and that the Hyundai Sonata was one of the cars that I was considering. I also told him that I wouldn't be purchasing a car that day since I was merely on a fact-finding mission. The dealership did not have a Sonata Limited in stock with the option package that I wanted so I drove the SEL trim to test the 2.4L engine and 6-speed transmission. Sandy told me that they could locate a Sonata Limited with the Ultimate Tech package for me from another dealership if we got to that point. We went for a test drive and I told him that I liked the way it handled and performed. Before signing on the dotted line, however, I told him that I would like to take my wife in so that she could test drive it as well. He understood completely and told me to bring my wife in any time. There was absolutely no pressure to buy. A week later, my wife accompanied me to the dealership and we both drove a similar car and both of us liked it. Again, there was no pressure to buy. I contacted Sandy in early February and told him that I was ready to buy a 2019 Hyundai Sonata Limited with Ultimate Tech Package. We negotiated the deal (purchase and trade-in) on a Friday afternoon and on the following Monday, Sandy called me with the news that he had located the car that I wanted from another dealership and it was sitting at Hyundai of Newport. Two days later, I picked up the car. Sandy spent quite a bit of time with me going over every aspect of the car from bumper to bumper. He is a true professional and to me, not just a car salesman, but a new friend. I also want to give kudos to Leah Townsend who took care of all of the documentation associated with the deal. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional to work with. All-in-all, it was a very pleasant experience and I would recommend this dealership, and especially Sandy and Leah, to anyone interested in purchasing a Hyundai.
