" I wanted a fun car. I have spent the last 20 years in a van and was ready for a sporty smaller car. I spoke with Brad several times and he worked out a deal for our new Kia 5 door Forte. I love the little car and was amazed that my husband did too! The team at Van Griffith was all very friendly and easy to work with. We are proud to be a part of the Van Griffith family.
