We had a little fun yesterday with a reverse 'bait and switch. A big thanks to the guys at Brite Touch Detail shop for helping us pull this off.

Gracie's old car had no AC so they had been discussing another car for her. She mentioned, probably a few times, her dream car was a Ford Bronco. So, Jacob gave Joey Bouknight the order.
Jacob was able to keep from her the fact that she was even getting car yesterday, much less her dream car. They pull up and he walks her to GMC Terrain. She was so excited but we had a better surprise...

This is the 3rd Lexus I have bought through Joey C. Bouknight /The Automotive Advisor LLC.
The wild- eyed excitement of the new Lexus (new to me) is almost overshadowed by the Lexus I was giving up. Both of my old Lexus were like dear friends I was telling good-bye. I loved my cars. But buying a newer Lexus through Joey is both nerve-calming and extraordinary. Joey listens to what you are looking for, your target budget and then he delivers. Every time. He takes care of everything from search to final car registration. I cannot ever imagine of gracing a car dealers’ lot again. Joey makes the whole process painless and a getting a new car thrilling!
