Made a Volvo fan out of me

I bought a fantastic car at CarLotz. No pressure. Professional, kind, efficient staff and service. Very impressive Store Manager oversaw the transaction to a smooth fruition. He did the number one thing all true sales professionals do. He asked for referrals. There you have it.....

Most Beautiful Car I've Owned

I love the heated steering wheel, the heated seats, the blind spot indicators -- all the safe driving options. Mostly, I love the look of the car and the extra leg room in the back seat area.
