Dear Mr. Chambers:
I recently purchased a 2006 Saturn VUE (obviously pre-owned) from your Saturn of Warwick. I had brought my 2003 Saturn Ion (purchased new from same dealer) for service. The weather was nice so I decided to take a walk around the lot just to look (I thought). I look at the VUEs, Auras, & VUEs. I then walked towards the back of the lot and a RED VUE caught my eye (official color-Chilli Pepper Red, my color-Boston Red Sox Red). I thoroughly checked the body (mint condition) and sat in the driver’s seat–it was very comfortable and the interior was also in mint condition. When my ION was ready, I asked AJ (A1-Service Advisor) if I could speak to a salesman regarding the red VUE. Rich LaRue came out to meet me and we scheduled a test drive for 2 days later as the part for my ION would be ready.
I test drove the VUE and fell in love; Rich LaRue was very thorough in explaining all the controls (it was then that I realized that the vehicle had a sunroof as it had a shade inside to cover the window). Needless to say, I purchased the VUE AND am keeping my ION as I love the car The VUE will come in handy during the winter, when I purchase garden supplies, and my German Shepard, Ruby, will love the additional room.
This is my third Saturn (first pre-owned) since 2000 and it all started with an awesome salesman, since retired, Rich Ricci. When I was looking at the 2000 SW, Rich explained not only the features and controls, but also showed me how easy it was to change the bulbs! Rich was very courteous and professional and never talked down to me. It was a great buying experience.
In 2003, I totaled the wagon as it had a fatal attraction to a garbage truck (I was blinded by the sun, nobody got hurt except my driving pride). Because I had to my a new car (I was traveling 600 miles per week at the time), I returned to Saturn of Warwick and asked for Rich Ricci. Rich asked why I asked for him; I explained that because he was so professional and treated me right the first time, I wanted to give him my business again. Thus the purchase of the 2003 Ion.
So, in 9 years, I have purchased 3 Saturns (at least I now have a car company I can trust and with Penske now involved, it will get more exciting). You can be VERY proud of your Warwick dealership as I have always been treated with respect by your Service Advisors and Rich Ricci and now Rich LaRue. I have had no major problems with my vehicles (of course, with age things wear out).
Just thought you should know that your folks in Warwick get it RIGHT every time. THANK YOU.
