An AMAZING car buying experience!! If you ever are looking for a car, I would advise you to
look up CHRIS BASINGER AT MERCEDES-BENZ OF MOUNT PLEASANT, SOUTH CAROLINA…..YOU
WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
I had been looking for a beige interior Audi A5 convertible, which was not an easy car to locate.
I decided to start looking more broad outside of Texas and I found my car in my price range!!
I quickly called the dealership, not even knowing where it was located. Chris Basinger
answered the phone and told me that the car was available. I told him that I wanted it and put
a deposit down. The car had just been traded the afternoon before and had just been listed on
the internet that morning. Talking about right place, right time! Chris walked me through
pricing, the buying process, communicated with my bank via email multiple times, and in
general made me very comfortable with a long distance purchase! I got on a plane to
Charleston South Carolina the next day to pick the car up and The AMAZING sales person Chris
made sure that everything on the car was serviced, detailed, and ready for my road-trip back to
Texas. The dealership even put on 3 brand new tires, alignment, new wiper blades, changed the
oil and filter, and filled my car with gas.
Chris was friends with Chef Ken Vedrinski, who runs Coda Del Pesce on the beach in Isle of
Palms, SC, less than 5 miles from the dealership! Ken had beat Bobby Flay on his Food Network
show. Even though it’s impossible to get in last minute, Chris arranged for me to have dinner in
the restaurant at the bar right next to where they prepare the food. Chef Ken was there and
we had such a great time!! I met some great people and the food was amazing!! The best
Caesar salad I have ever had in my life!! Wow, what an experience.
Chris even booked me a room at a Hilton Doubletree hotel with his own money! If I ever
vacation in South Carolina with my family, I know that I could reach out to Chris and he would
help me out if I needed recommendations. He is not only a great sales person that advocates
for the buyer, but also a great person!! I will never forget this experience!! Oh, one more
thing… on my drive back home a light came on. I sent Chris a picture of it and he explained it
was the tire pressure monitoring system and most likely the new tires were settling in with
temp changes,, but he also cautioned me to keep an eye on the tires making sure I didn't’ run
over a nail. He also made sure I arrived in Texas safely. What a great guy!!
