Why work with me
One person, start to finish.
I'm a country boy who grew up on Ohio farm land and still likes the city lights, so I've talked cars with about every kind of person there is. Good credit, rough credit, first car or your tenth — I'll treat you the same either way.
The lineup
Gas, hybrid, plug-in, or electric
Daytona Kia carries the full Kia lineup — Sportage, Sorento, Telluride, Carnival, Seltos, Niro, K4, K5, EV6, and EV9 — including hybrid and plug-in versions. I'll show you what the differences actually feel like to drive and live with.
Financing
Every credit situation gets a look
There's an online pre-qualification form and a financing option on the listings, and lease offers are posted on select new models with terms and due-at-signing amounts. Your exact rate, term, and approval come from our finance office, so I'll get you a straight answer instead of a guess.
Trade-in
Start your trade number from home
We have an online trade value tool, so I can get a starting estimate before you visit. Any online number still has to be confirmed with an in-person appraisal — ask me and I'll walk you through the current process.
Three lots in one
New, pre-owned, and Certified
New, used, and Certified Pre-Owned inventory are all separate, so if a new payment is more than you want, I'll show you what the used and certified side looks like for the same money.
After the sale
Service is right here
There's a service department on site with online scheduling, so the place you buy from is the place that takes care of the car.
Start from your couch if you'd rather.
Send me your must-haves and I'll text you a few cars that fit, get your trade estimate started, and share the pre-qualification link. You come in when you're ready to drive.
How it works
A short path from question to test drive.
Start wherever you are: a payment you want to hit, a car you already spotted, or a trade you need out from under.
- 01
Tell me what you need
Give me your budget, your timing, what you're driving now, and whether you're leaning gas, hybrid, or electric.
- 02
I send you real options
I go through what's actually on the lot — new, used, or certified — and send you a few that fit, plus the terms on any posted offer that applies.
- 03
Trade and pre-qualification
I'll start your trade estimate and send the pre-qualification form so the numbers aren't a mystery when you arrive. Final figures come from the appraisal and the finance office.
- 04
Drive it on your schedule
I confirm the car is here, set your test drive time, and have things ready so you're not sitting around waiting.

What folks ask me first.
Straight answers so you know what to expect before you reach out.
Can I get approved with bad credit or no credit history?+
I work with all kinds of credit, including first-time buyers. You can fill out the online pre-qualification form and I'll take it from there — your actual rate, term, and approval are confirmed by our finance office, so I won't promise you a number I can't back up.
How does the trade-in work?+
We have an online trade value tool, so I can get you a starting estimate before you visit. That number has to be confirmed with an in-person appraisal, so treat the online figure as a starting point and ask me about the current process.
What's the difference between the hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric models?+
Quite a bit, and it depends on your driving. I'll walk you through how each one fuels or charges and what that means day to day, then set up drives so you can feel it instead of taking my word for it.
Are the lease specials I see online the real numbers?+
The posted lease offers list a monthly payment, a term, and a due-at-signing amount, and they change and carry disclosures. Send me the one you're looking at and I'll check whether it's still running and go over exactly what's included.
Can you deliver the car to my house?+
I can't promise that, so please ask me before you plan around it. Same goes for signing paperwork at home — check with me first and I'll tell you honestly what we can do.
Can I confirm a car is still available before I drive over?+
Yes, and I'd rather you did. Send me the vehicle you're considering and I'll confirm it's here and set a time so you're not making the trip for nothing.
Do you only sell Kias?+
Kia is my specialty, but we also carry used and Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, so I can look at other makes too — sedans, SUVs, trucks, minivans, and more. Tell me what you have in mind.
What if I just want a lower payment on something nicer?+
That's most of my conversations. Tell me what you're paying now and what you're driving, and I'll show you what's realistic between new, used, certified, and lease options.
No pressure from me. Ever.
Ask me anything you want and get a straight answer. If it isn't the right car or the right time, I'd rather tell you that than sell you something you'll regret.
Get started
Tell me what you're after.
Send me a few details — what you drive now, what you want next, and the payment you're aiming for. I'll reply with a few cars that fit, real numbers, and one simple next step.
