Awesome purchase from Aydin at Bud Clary with 0 for 72 % honored...
Car Arrived at Bud Clary in Auburn Last Saturday- But I had a biz trip in Fla mon to thurs so flew from FLL to SEA thurs night and picked up the truck Friday AM .
All my worry about my deal quickly vanished when I met Aydin. Aydin was fantastic and easy going.
He said I was his easiest client of the year..lol (I hate to see who the most difficult was)
My 63600 for a 73600 was locked up perfectly and they squeezed me in for 0 for 72 despite -not really ever having a PO signed when ordered in expiring April incentive chaos.
I met them at 10 AM , looked over the truck quickly, never took a test drive and then signed al the paperwork-no one ever tried to upsell me a extended warranty either
Was on the Road to San Diego by 11:30 . I would figure stuff out on the truck on the ride home.
got to Nor Cal late fri Fri Night and continued to SD where I arrived around 7 PM last night
Truck is great-(my first truck)
some first impressions:
-Great ride with the air suspension.
-average 19.6 MPG for ride home went up to 75 mph first day and 80 second day..
-loved the ACC used it like 75% of the time. never had my foot on gas or brake even in heavy traffic
-was able to figure out most of the uconnect stuff on the ride home as I wasn't really paying attention to the road much with the ACC -lol
-truck isnt as monsterous as my wife expected..lol
-love the patriot blue- Aydin said it was the first time he ever saw it up there (surprised a little ) it changes hues constantly in various lighting.
haven't had time to take any really cool pics but here are some quickies.
looks a lot like what I ordered (except its a Sport) that I may or may not get. nice to see what it could look like. cheers.Awesome purchase from Aydin at Bud Clary with 0 for 72 % honored...

Congrats on the new truck. The Blue is such a nice color. I'm glad that everything worked out with Aydin and the folks at Bud Clary.Awesome purchase from Aydin at Bud Clary with 0 for 72 % honored...

How long did it take you to get in and out? I'll be paying cash at Mark Dodge as well.Picked it up today. As others have said, Aaron is great to work with before, during, and after the sale. I also dealt with Thomas a little (was paying cash and he is the finance guy) and he seems like a good guy as well. Picture is from a hotel.

Congrats! How was the trip? Did you fly/drive/combination? It will be a while, but I'll be making the same trip so just bouncing different ideas around! I'm outside of Atlanta about 670 miles to Mark Dodge....Picked it up today. As others have said, Aaron is great to work with before, during, and after the sale.

Sorry for the late reply. We were travelling home all yesterday. I wired the funds ahead of time. If we hadn't been transferring a bunch of stuff from our trade-in to the truck, I'd say it took less than five minutes. That doesn't include Aaron going over the truck with me.How long did it take you to get in and out? I'll be paying cash at Mark Dodge as well.
No, I did the "take my wife to the SC coast for a few days, drive to western Louisiana, then drive back to western North Carolina" route--because we were trading in our Jeep.Congrats!

We expect to get our truck next week but it will only be 20 miles home. The bummer is that until the truck comes we only have one vehicle ('98 Corvette). My wife doesn't drive any more (dementia) so we will have our sales guy drive her and the truck to our house and I will drive the Corvette. I wish the maiden cruise would be under my command but logistics prevent that as I won't let him drive the little red car. I will drive the truck to take him back to the dealership so it won't be a long wait for my first cruise (not counting the pre-signing test drive).No, I did the "take my wife to the SC coast for a few days, drive to western Louisiana, then drive back to western North Carolina" route--because we were trading in our Jeep.
I was EXTREMELY nervous driving our new truck through Atlanta on the way home. We went through about 6:30-7:00pm and it was still bumper-to-bumper. Fortunately, most of the drivers were pretty well-behaved.
We came straight home from Baton Rouge--that's as far as the wife and dogs could go after we picked up the truck late afternoon. That's about 725ish miles for us. I wasn't a bit saddle sore or tired. Truck truly rides great and comfortable!
Why don't you just take Uber to the dealer, then drive your new truck home?We expect to get our truck next week but it will only be 20 miles home.
