Arrow That'll Buff Right Out.....



TO: Mr. Richard Colliver

FROM: William H. Nymeyer
5766 River Loop
Lincoln city, OR 97367

DATE: Tuesday, January 25, 2005

SUBJECT: Acura Vin # 19UUA66254A013516

Dear Mr.Colliver:

I hope you will have time to read this memo, I purchased a 2004 Acura VIN# 19UUA66254A013516 from Ron Tonkin Acura 9655 S. W. Canyon Rd. Portland, Or. On December 30th. 2004.

I was met on the lot and from the first greeting I was impressed. You asked in your letter if “the purchase experience met my highest expectations”. The answer to that question is yes. I drive for business about 50,000 miles per year, and get a new car every two years.

I was introduced to Mr. Joel Fowler, Silver Level Sales Consultant. This was not your typical used car salesman. Joel was a professional sales person and knew the answers to every question I had. Being a Sales Engineer I had a lot of questions. He did not push me at all and made sure before we went for a test-drive that he had explained all of the safety features to me. This is the best sales person and dealership I have ever worked with.

On January 6th. At 8:30 AM I was hit by a four wheel drive pickup truck, as you can see by the attached photo my Acura was a total loss.

The reason for this memo is two parts. First is to inform you that you have a dealer that is the best run dealership I have done business with, and a sales staff that was great. I spoke with Joel while I was in the hospital and never once did he say anything about selling me another car. He was concerned about me not selling another car.

Part two is your cars, I am writing this memo because I was driving a 2004 Acura TL, and I was told by the Oregon State Police that if I was in any other car I would have been killed. After I was flown to the hospital I was informed that due to the Air Bags and all of the safety features of the Acura are the reasons I survived.

I was I the hospital for six days, no broken bones no internal injuries; I was banged up but will be back to work soon.

Please keep-making cars with all the safety features and please keep improving them. Will I buy another car? YES, and it will be an Acura, and I will buy it from Joel at Ron Tonkin Acura.

Thanks for your time.

Don't knock them, I have one that I use for hauling in the summer and blizzard use in the winter. I had a new Hyundai Elantra being driven by a drunk fleeing a hit and run make a left turn right in front of my F250. The Hyundai was totalled, written right off, front, rear and right side glass gone, front right and the whole right side sheet metal peeled right off, air bags deployed.

All my F250 had was the right end of the front bumper bent in a bit and a cracked right front headlight and turn signal lens. The damage was so subtle that you could easily miss it unless you looked close. But the Hyundai, the right side of it looked a lot like the left side of the opening picture minus the roof damage.

What's a Cruisor? And I imagine police cars would gas up at gas pumps.

ok here is the real question about acura safety, would you rather be in the ford, or the acura?
the guy got lucky, 10 km faster and he would of been dead, the ford on the other hand could survive worse.
