| - Since we didn't want to take another trek for our next test drive, we decided to brave the wilds of Independence Boulevard for the next go-round, and pulled into Folger Kia. What with all the construction going on, it's actually a bit of a challenge to get into the place - so much so that they are downright ecstatic to see people, and that can go either way: If you like to be greeted right up-front, then you'll enjoy it. If you don't, then you might want to avoid them for the time being.
Luckily, the staff is friendly, but the lot is small, so it doesn't give staff a bunch of room to let you stroll. In this particular case, we were looking at a very specific used car that we wanted to test out, so it wasn't an issue. As luck would have it, the car didn't really work for us (and the pictures online wen're really representative of what it looked like in person), and the salesperson was more than happy to show us some other options.
We actually liked a few of the Kias that they had on the lot, but nothing really matched the features we wanted at the price we were looking for at the time - and so we decided to keep our eyes open and check them out another time. All in all staff was friendly and not too pushy, which can be helpful.
On a rather strange note, there was one person in the parking lot who I would assume had just purchased a new car. They were unloading their existing car when we got there, and after both our test drives, and hanging out looking for another car - meaning we were there for well over an hour - they were still unloading their car. Strange thing though is that they were just unloading. They were like the family in a Jeff Foxworthy bit, with styrofoam coolers, plastic bags, all sorts of trash, and there was no new car (or used car) to be seen - I have no idea what they were doing with all this stuff, they were just taking it out of one car and dumping it on the ground. Maybe they thought they were at a car wash or something.
