Just browsing? Replacing a car? Somewhere in between? We can start exactly where you are.
Ask about the price, the trade, or that thing you think you should already know. It’s a good question.
Tell me what matters. I’ll help you sort through the options and talk through the trade-offs.
Tell me about your everyday life and what matters most. Get useful comparisons, a focused test-drive plan, and a PDF to keep. Then choose whether to send it my way.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Architecture from Mississippi State University, then spent years helping clients bring their visions to life. That work taught me to listen closely, solve complex problems, and think through the details that make something right for the person using it.
Now, I bring that same thoughtful approach to car buying: making the process easier, clearer, and centered on what matters most to you.
First, I get to know how you live.
Then we explore what could fit.
“David Kett helped me purchase my new Highlander Saturday! It was pouring rain but it didn't slow David down.”

Something caught your attention? Tell me what you’re considering, and we can talk through what it means for your next vehicle.
Start with what’s on your mind. We can figure out the rest together.
Absolutely. Alongside new Chevrolets, I have access to hundreds of preowned vehicles across a wide range of brands, models, years, and price points. Tell me what you have in mind, or what you need your next vehicle to do. We can explore the possibilities together and confirm current availability before you visit.
Send me a text or give me a call. We’ll talk about what you’re looking for, what matters in your day-to-day life, and a comfortable budget. Then we can arrange a time to explore a few options together.
That’s one of my favorite parts. Tell me about your routine, your people, and what you’d love your next vehicle to do better. We’ll explore a few possibilities together. The game plan is an easy place to start, and it doesn’t lock you into anything.
Yes. Our finance team works with a range of lenders, and I’ll help you understand the next steps. Whether your credit is strong or you’ve had challenges, we can explore your options together. Approval and terms depend on the lender and your situation.
Absolutely. We can have your vehicle evaluated and walk through the offer with you, whether you’re considering a trade or selling it outright. Send me the year, make, model, and approximate mileage, and we’ll take it from there.
Let’s find a time that works. Message me about an appointment, including Saturday or an evening during dealership hours. If you have a particular vehicle in mind, I can check its availability before you make the trip.
Your driver’s license and insurance information are a good start. If you’re trading, have your title, if available, and any loan details handy. Text me before you come and I’ll help you work out what’s needed for your visit.
It depends on the vehicle, financing, and how much you’d like to explore. Let me know your schedule in advance so we can prepare and make good use of your time. I’ll keep you informed as we go.
Our finance team can explain the available coverage and products so you can decide what fits your situation. You’re welcome to ask questions, and I’m happy to help you understand the choices.
Of course. You’ll have my personal number. If you have a question about your vehicle or need help connecting with the service team, reach out. Our conversation doesn’t end when you drive off.
Yes. I’m based in Madison and welcome customers from elsewhere in Mississippi and neighboring states. Contact me before you travel so we can talk through what you need and plan your visit.
You’re welcome to start here, even if buying is still a few months away. Use the game plan or send me a question. We can talk about possibilities without a commitment to purchase.
A friend, a family member, someone you work with. If they’re thinking about a vehicle, I’d love to help them find their way.
A personal introduction. A thoughtful conversation.
Let them reach out themselves. Ask them to mention your name when they arrive; qualifying purchase terms still apply.
For pointing a friend in the right direction, when they complete a qualifying purchase directly through me.
Your friend must mention your referral when they arrive at the dealership and purchase directly through David Kett. Your $100 check is payable after the sale is complete and any lender financing is finalized and funded. A referral submission alone does not earn a payment.

Send me a message before you head over. We can discuss a time, what you’d like to explore, and any vehicle availability worth checking first.
