Saturn Car Shopping Experience

New email from bjpalm0@email.uky.edu forwarded to you by Contact Management.

Saturn has made this car shopping process one that I don’t dread.  It’s the most awful thing on earth when you go somewhere else.  I don’t want to play the sales games and I don’t want to be treated like a second class citizen because I wear a skirt.  Never have had that problem with Saturn.  Matter of fact, when I bought my Hybrid Vue Roy asked if I wanted to take it home and drive it overnight so I could sleep on my decision.  No pressure, just see if I like it.  That’s trust and good sales!

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow. 

Thanks for your help.  Again, I am assured that Saturn will come through for us again.

 

Saturn Green Team Earth Day

Good Morning Brentley,

 

I just wanted to let you and your fellow co-workers know that having your Saturn products at ourGreen Team Earth Day Fair was a huge boost to the interest and excitement of our celebration. Of all of the automobile companies represented here, your vehicles (along with the experimental electric car), drew the most interest on this day. We have one employee who more than once told fellow employees of how he has bought two cars from your dealership and has all of his service done, even though he lives in Cynthiana, just because of how he and his wife have always been treated. He said that it was the most pleasant and least stressful car buying experience they had ever had, and the special way they are treated even for having routine maintenance done is worth the drive.

 

I also want to thank Beth, Dave and Roy for all going out of their way and making sure that we were treated so well. They all had a part in helping us acquiring, picking up and dropping off the vehicles. It was definitely a case of where one hand knew exactly what the other hand was doing. That in itself is rare to find.

 

I have enclosed a couple of pictures to show how nice the vehicles looked and how our employees seemed to enjoy them while they were here. Thanks again for helping us have a very successful, first every Green Team Earth Day Fair.

 

Respectfully,

 

John Cooper

Thanks so very much for the flowers...it is one of the prettiest arrangements I have ever gotten...they still look really good. Everybody that comes in the room comments on how pretty they are. Quantrell/Volvo sure have gotten a lot of "p/r" from them. There have been at least 25 people comment on them and I use every opportunity to tell them what a great salesman you have been and what a nice guy you are. Hope all is well with you. I'm hoping to get to go home on Monday!!!!

Thanks again,
Charla

Volvo European Delivery Program-Rivals all Competition!

THE BUZZ Volvo European Delivery Program-Rivals all Competition!

Jim Jordan
How about a new car and a vacation all in one deal? It's something for U.S. automakers to consider.
Several European car makers allow buyers to go to the factory, pick up their car, drive it for a few days or weeks and return it so it can be shipped to the United States.
Volvo, for example, provides round-trip airfare for two and one free night in the Radisson Hotel near the factory in Gothenburg, Sweden, says Renee Chesser, overseas delivery specialist for Quantrell Volvo in Lexington.
"They also include a lunch of Swedish meatballs and a tour of the factory," Chesser says. "I've got a few customers who have done it a couple of times."
Other European car companies, including Mercedes-Benz and BMW, have similar programs, but the details are different.
Imagine buying a Chevy and getting to see Orion Township, Mich., or a Toyota and visiting Georgetown.
It's not exactly Europe, but throw in a lunch of Kentucky burgoo, and some people will think it's a pretty good deal.

The Offiical Saab Network


The Saab Network is an electronic moderated forum for the discussion of Saab automobiles and related topics. The Saab Network's first message was posted in 1988.
The purpose of the resources found on The Saab Network is to help you to resolve your problems and to allow you to discuss your achievements. This site is not a place for you to bash Saab. We are all here to promote Saab so that we can continue driving these cars into the future. If this is not your desire, you've come to the wrong place. New users quickly find that this site is unapologetic and uncompromising when it comes to narrowing its audience to only the most mutually respectful, intelligent, and mature Saab owners - the kind of people with whom you'd want to meet and interact with. Immature, anti-social, and obtuse folks don't get to stick around the site for long. Why? Because they lose their privilege of using this site by assuming they are anonymous on the Internet and can get away with personal attacks and worse. When someone tells you they are 'banned' from the TSN site... They are revealing a lot about themselves. Educate yourself - read this entire document.
TSN is about quality over quantity. I'm not recruiting more users for this site. There are more than enough users. In fact, the focus is on the best Saab Owners in the world. You will notice many forums focus on bickering and personal attacks but you will rarely ever see that here. This is a unique forum on the Internet in which smart, respectful people are having discussions with other smart, respectful people. Quality, not quantity. If someone tells you they lost their privileges here... they did something that showed they clearly did not fit that description.
As you read this site, be aware that people usually only post something when they are seeking answers and solutions to a problem. Most of the traffic will be geared towards problem solving. This doesn't mean Saabs have a lot of problems. It means that this is the place for Saab problem solving. In a recent poll on The Saab Network, over 90% of Saab owners responded that they would purchase another Saab (Past Polls). That says a lot about this car!
The web site is intended as an information resource and has been designed to efficiently accomodate one million users each month. Currently, about 200,000 Saabers visit each and every month. The flashy graphics of an entertainment site have been omitted, although you'll probably find it entertaining enough if you are a Saab fan.
Misusing the site or abusing the spirit of the site will result in restricted access (i.e. Although you will still be allowed to read the site, your posting privileges will be restricted). You are sharing this resource and should respect its purpose and contents. This is an advertising supported web site and as such is reserved first for those users loading the ad graphics. You may not make mass downloads of the site. If you do, you will be restricted from using the site. If the server detects that you are using ad blocking software against the TSN site, you will lose read and posting privileges and will be required to pay $24 to have your access reinstated.
I do make links to many other Saab sites on the Internet. However, I do not promote other Saab sites providing classifieds (or promoting a competing classifieds site on their home page) or English-based bulletin boards as these areas at this site help to support its existence. There are no exceptions.
The Saab Network was born out of the desire to get away from the flame-wars and personal attacks that dominated the USENET rec.autos newsgroup back in the late eighties. The Saab Network has been a moderated forum since 1988. The bulletin boards are not a free-for-all. Inappropriate postings are removed. If you have a problem or question with how the site is administered, the appropriate action is to contact me directly. I do not respond to messages on this topic that are posted on the public bulletin boards. Posting on this site is a privilege, not a right.
