Hey!
Maui here from Cape Cod. Love my cactus hybrid. Haven't done much traveling since I got it from the dealer in May. 1300 miles on it just from driving to work.

Eventually plan to drive over the bridges in the Newport, RI area with the ball & chain. Would also enjoy a cruise around Lake Winnipesaukee for old times sake.

Hopefully, B & C will not ask if she can drive!

Hey Maui I'm in Yarmouth Port where are you?

Me too. Are you the area 51? I pass it on my way to 6A from W.Yarm Rd.

Velocity Blue, I've seen that area 51 in Dennis at the Stop & shop lot.
Your right near me I'm over behind the Fire House on Red Jacket.

Did either of you order from Balise in Hyannis? If so, was it a positivie experience? I went with them because they were one of the few dealers on this side of the state with hybrid allocations and knew what they were talking about. The ordering process was seamless, but just want to know if there's anything I should look out for.

I would never buy from Balise again. They are the biggest pain in the rear to deal with. I did business with them once that was enough for me. They like the bait and switch tactics. I had trouble getting them to give up my wifes car after we bought it! It took us three weeks to get her SUV.
Glad it went better for you.
I did business with Chatham Ford. Can't say enough about how smooth it went.

I went with Chatham Ford also. Rick is very professional and easy to talk to. Very small dealership. Do not be afraid!

@Maui

@Maui Absolutely! Rick Svenson is the best salesman I've done business with in twenty years!

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I worked directly with the GM, so maybe I got lucky - it does seem to be a roll of the dice based on the feedback I've seen on the forums here the past year. Can have a great dealership after a bunch of research and you happen to get the one salesperson who doesn't quite care.

I'm over on the 95 corridor, but almost every dealer along there or 495 either had no allocations (esp for hybrid), required some type of markup or dealer extras, or just didn't seem to know what they were talking about. Jack Madden left much to be desired (they had a $40k XL with 25k miles earlier this year), so I maybe didn't give Chatham the chance they deserved since I associated the two.

It gets harder every year to find a good dealer not looking to rob you blind. If you can't get what you want from Balise give Rick a try at Chatham.

Jack Madden and Chatham are related for sure,
