Meet My Best Salesmen...
One of the best parts of what I do is the relationships I establish with people. Many of my clients have been with me 10 or 20 years, and many of them have become friends.
Here's what some of them have to say:
From some of my customers...
Last year I was shopping for a full size Dodge 2500 Laramie SLT 4x4 pickup for my roofing/construction business. I had shopped a lot in the Reno area trying to get the best deal. I mentioned to my dad that I was looking for a new truck and he suggested I call Jim. Jim found the vehicle I was looking for in Seattle and saved me enough money that my wife and I were able to fly to Seattle for the weekend, stay at a hotel, take in the sights, drive back to Reno in my new truck and still saved money. Wow! Hey Jim can we do that next time too?! Thanks again.

Along with many other people, car shopping is something I absolutely despise. It is extremely stressful and time consuming. Due to that fact, I went to my dad and asked for help when I decided to purchase a new car. Like me, he also does not enjoy the process of car shopping and told me that I needed to speak with Jimmy. When we spoke, I told him the kind of car that I wanted and how much I was willing to spend. Within 48 hours, the car keys were in my hands and it was exactly what I wanted. I never once stepped foot on a car lot and had the privilege of avoiding any possible stress. More importantly, I got a great deal and he took my trade in off my hands. Jimmy made the awful car shopping experience something that was simple and easy. The vehicle that he found me is wonderful and I love it! If you're the type of person who does not find car shopping enjoyable call Jimmy, and he will take great care of you.

We bought our first vehicle from Jim in 1988. He got me a brand new 88 F150 XLT Lariat. We just purchased our most recent vehicle, a brand new 08 Toyota Tundra iForce, earlier this year. In between that time, both of my now grown children have owned vehicles provided by Jim. Also, when we have purchased a vehicle that Jim didn't get us, such as our Hyundai Santa Fe, he provided crucial pricing information that we used to successfully negotiate our deal. In short, this has been a 20 year win/win relationship. Jim you are the Car Man.

We bought our first vehicle from Jim in 2002. It was a 2002 Toyota Highlander. We shopped for the vehicle locally but the car Jim found us had fewer miles and was less money, even after shipping from the West Coast. A couple of years later our son Matt was leaving to go to college in Oregon. We contacted Jim to get his opinion about selling Matt's car in Hawaii and buying another car in Oregon or whether we should ship his car to Portland. Jim did the homework and determined, based on the condition of Matt's car and the fact that it was paid for, we should keep it and send it with our son. He arranged for the shipping and then had the vehicle delivered to a location that was convenient for our son to pick up. It was very easy. In 2007 my wife was in need of a new vehicle and Jim got us a 2006 Nissan Sentra that she is very satisfied with. It gets great gas mileage and requires little maintenance. Our dealings with Jim have been professional, and saved us time and money. I highly recommend his services. Mahalo, Jim.

Jim McCain makes the car buying process effortless. My family and friends have used Kona Jim's service at least a dozen times and everyone walks away with total satisfaction. No haggling over price. No having to deal with unknowledgeable sales people. Kona does it all from the beginning to the end. You tell him what you want and he delivers to your door step! Kona knows his stuff not to mention the money that he has saved us. Check him out. You won't be disappointed.

I first met Jim McCain about six years ago, and after about a year I was in the market for a newer car. I asked Jim to keep an eye out for a late model Cadillac El Dorado. Within three weeks he found me a beauty, an all black 2002 with low miles at a very fair price. I bought the car without any hassle, and Jim did all the necessary paper work. About two years later he found a local one-owner special edition 2003 El Dorado with low miles. Jim took my 2002 in trade and immediately found a buyer for my 2002 car that allowed the purchase of the 2003. All of this was done without any hassle on the part of the buyer of my trade-in as well as myself and saved us both a considerable amount of money. Jim and I have become very good friends and I would recommend anyone in the market for a car to go through Jim as he has made the car buying experience absolutely painless.

Jim is the man! I gave him all my specifics regarding the car I wanted, told him when I needed it by and he got me everything I wanted, including a great price! Thanks so much for saving me the time and hassle; not to mention making it effortless to get the car we needed for our family. You took caring and fast service to the next level! Mahalo Nui Loa! (Thank you so much!)

Last year, during the holiday season, I contacted Jim concerning the purchase of a new Lexus RX350. I had a lot of questions. During the course of our conversation Jim inquired as to whether I would consider a pre-owned, low mile, used '08. I bought a pre-owned '08 RX350, through Jim, with 8000 miles, and all my asked for options. He saved me almost $10,000 on the purchase price. By the time I figured in interest savings on my loan the total savings were almost $14,000. Would I recommend Jim? Heck yes.

With seven children our car needs are pretty specific. I found the vehicle I was looking for at a local Ford dealer, a 2005 Ford Expedition XLT. I called Jim to ask if, in his opinion, I was getting a good deal at a price of $15,900. A couple of weeks before my brother was looking at a Toyota truck, he called Jim. Jim thought he was getting a very good deal and my brother bought it. Jim said he would look up some information and call me back. The next day he found me a 2006 Ford Expedition "Eddie Bauer" edition with lower miles for the same price: $15,900. In addition, it is equipped with an entertainment system, navigation, and a lot of other "cool stuff" according to my kids. He had a trucking company deliver it, paper work was done by mail and the whole thing was just easy. Thanks again.

A couple of years ago my daughter graduated from college and was hired by a firm in the Northeast. She needed a new car. She started looking for BMW all wheel drives. After a lot of frustrating trips to local dealers trying to get a straight answer, a friend recommended I call Jim. Almost immediatly, Jim found her the exact BMW X3 she was looking for at a substantial savings. This is the best part - rather than trading her old car in Jim told her she could do much better selling her Toyota Corolla on her own. Within weeks, she sold her car herself for $2000 more than the trade-in offered by the dealer. She saved money and it was hassle free. Thanks again.

From some of my contacts in the car industry...
I've known Jim for 5 years. As the manager for Maui Dodge we talk on a fairly regular basis to compare notes on current market conditions. Over the years we have helped each other in a number of different deals. In 2006 my son who lives in Portland was in the market for a new vehicle. The vehicle he was interested in, a Chevy SSR, was not readily available in our market on Maui. I called Jim and asked if he could locate the vehicle and handle the deal for my son. Within the week Jim located, purchased and delivered my son his new car. As usual with Jim, he saved my son money and time not to mention the convenience!

I have had the pleasure of knowing and doing business with Jim McCain for 12 years now. As General Sales Manager of Subaru Puyallup here in Puyallup, WA, it is always a great benefit to have someone like Jim as a resource. We regularly exchange thoughts and opinions on used vehicles and current market conditions, and I have found Jim to be a very valuable contact over the years. Years ago in fact, I actually had Jim evaluate and locate the first minivan I purchased for my family. Jim is a man of his word. When he says he will do something, you will never have to think about it again. That goes a long way in our business!

I was introduced to Jim McCain and made aware of his services while I was the General Manager/Managing Partner of Pinnacle Mazda in Metro Seattle. I contracted with Jim to handle the inventory logistics of buying and selling used vehicles for my used car operation. My experience with Jim was nothing but exceptional. All transactions were handled professionally with integrity. At all times, I was comfortable that Jim operated with my best interest as his top priority.

I've known Jim for more than 10 years. He is a professional buyer/seller. Over the years, Jim has represented numerous new and used car dealers at Manheim Auto Auctions. He has enjoyed "super seller" credentials with our organization. Jim has always impressed me as a person who is willing to deliver what he promises. On a personal level, when my family, who lives in Maui, needed his services, he came through. Jim arranged the transaction through a local dealer in Maui, and it was hassle free.

I started buying cars for my dealership from Jim in 2003. As you might imagine, buying vehicles from the mainland, sight unseen, requires a substantial amount of trust. Not once have my cars arrived and not been exactly as Jim had described them. Finding people in this business you can rely on day in and day out, month after month, year after year, is a valuable resourse. You can count on what Jim tells you.
