This Car Dealer Got Revenge With a Low-Ball Offer on a Diamond

on

I received a written offer from a used-car salesman looking to buy a diamond and bridal/wedding set: he wanted an additional 15 percent off my sales quote; a larger diamond with a higher color, clarity and cut grade; lifetime discounts on any and all future repairs or purchases; and additional discounts. And, if I agreed to his terms (and signed on his dotted line), he would give me 50 percent payment! Wowza! Car sales, huh.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
