Julie and Danielle Mulcahey are Mother and Daughter from Galena, IL. They came in to pick up a hot new ride for Danielle as her means of transportation as she continues college. The two of them seemed very excited to be getting the car and were willing to share that excitement with us in this interview!
What brought you guys into Runde's today? My daughter, Danielle, wanted a used vehicle before she went back to college.
Have you bought from us before?
I bought my Chevy Cruze through John Leibfried in Cuba City who was an excellent salesman. We initially called John to see what they had when we started our search for Danielle's car. He referred us to Al Kloft to show us some vehicles in Hazel Green that might suit her better so we went there.
It was really neat to see that as soon as we left John on our way over to the Hazel Green location, Al had already left a voicemail saying he's excited to see us. I really like that professionalism.
Is the car mostly for college, Danielle? Yes. I go to college in DeKalb, IL. which is about 2 hours away. I didn't have a car so my mom would always have to drive me when I needed to get there.
Which college do you go to? Northern Illinois, I'm a sophomore going for a marketing major.
Well that works out better for you to have that transportation capability! Yeah, it'll be really nice.
Are you from the area? We're from Galena, IL. which is about 20 minutes away from here.
What's there to do in Galena? We're big skiers and snowboarders. Danielle: Yeah, and I work out at Chestnut Mountain.
How has it been this year for skiing with the initial lack of snow? It was "alright" and warm at first. But now that it's getting colder and they're predicting snow, it's getting better.
If you were to rank your experience on a scale of 1-10, what would you give us? We'd give it a high eight.
What vehicle did you end up with? The 2004 Oldsmobile Alero.
What made you want the Alero?
It's small which is what I wanted. I drove an Oldsmobile Intrigue when I was in high school, so I was kind of familiar with it. I also like the two-door and it was in my price-range.
What do you guys like to do as a family? Julie: I have a son who is a junior in High School so the kids are at their ages now where we all just kind of do our own thing. We go on special ski trips together and things like that. Personally, I work at Prudential, I sew and make things and I'm a runner.
How about you Danielle? I like to run also. I'm an art minor so I like the artsy thing as well. I like to make things outdoors. Julie chimes in* and Party! Danielle: We'll, that's not really a hobby but yea...
Do you have any aspirations for after college? I'm close to Chicago with where I go to school in DeKalb so I'm sure I will have some opportunity there. But I kind of want to move somewhere and see what I can find outside of the United States before I settle down anywhere.
How was your Holiday Vacation? Great. It was just the three of us. We went skiing, it was fun.
That's all the questions I had for you guys, anything else you'd like to add? Everything was great. The thing that impressed me the most (because I know that salesmen have a lot going on and have a lot to remember) is that he followed through. He always made sure that if he said he was going to call me, he did. Those are the kind of things that you look for in a good salesman - commitment to the deal, and he had it. He had great follow-through. Thank you very much for taking the time out to let us get to know you better!
