Mahindra Menlyn goes the extra mile
Buying a new car is as exciting as it it harrowing, given the high prices of new vehicles these days and the costs of bank loans, petrol/diesel and everything else related to car ownership. As a consumer, you and I expect the Sales staff of your chosen dealership to make "coming to terms" with the new car's price as easy as possible. Often this is achieved through thorough negotiation. Not many Sales people are too willing to negotiate discounts, of course, which is understandable. Coen Barkhuisen of BB Menlyn Mahindra, had helped me through the negotiation process very professionaly. His colleugues also often pitched in with additional data/information on the vehicle I was considering purchasing.
Coen and Immy - special shout out to you guys for helping me land an affordable price, negotiating a great interest rate on my behalf and getting everything done and dusted just before chaila time! Well done! I'm happy with my interest rate. I decided a few days before XMas finally that I wanted to purchase my chosen vehicle, and Coen hooked me up properly. Such a nice gentleman to work with! Highly recommend Coen Barkhuisen as your next new "New Car Guy".
Now, after a few days of driving my new 4x4, I felt that I had made the wrong choice of model, for a few missing" features. I took a mid-level model, instead of the top-of-the-line, mostly for costs reasons, and realized after using my 4x4 for a light 4x4 trail, that one or two of the features/components fitted to the higher spec model were indeed essential tools for modern 4x4-ing, imho. This created a little bit of a brief "buyer's remorse" situation. I addressed this concern with Coen at the dealership soon after, and here this gentleman and his collegue, Sean Pullinger very kindly clarified my conerns on costs, pricing and the features available on my chosen vehicle and really made me feel much better about everything! Sean even hooken me up with one of my "missing" features. Thank you so very much, Sean! Special shout out to Sean, Coen and Andre Botha (Dealer Principle) for running such a commited sales team.
Even with some initial conerns, I can now quite comfortably say that the sales and Administration team - basically the entire branch - has proven to me that they are committed to helping future and current customers get into a car of their choice with as little hassle as possible. Great Dealership, South Africa!
Penta Motor Group - take notice. THIS is how it is done.
So, if you choose to purchase a new car, and that new car is going to be a Mahindra, even if you are far away from Pretoria East, just contact Coen Barkhuizen for your next new car. Not a Mahindra? This is BB Motorgroup, so they don't just sell Mahindra. They sell many other brands also. Coen will sort you out. Just give him a call at ***
