We just purchased a car from this dealership. I have always been dubious of car dealers in general but they had a nice Chevy Impala on their lot so I decided it was worth a look. My wife and I stopped by the lot late in the day and looked the car over. Theron, one of the salesmen on the lot, approached us and offered some information about the vehicle we were considering. After "kicking the tires" on the Impala I decided it was worth taking to our mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection. I have a good rapport with our mechanic, my family and friend have been taking our vehicles to him for years because he has always done good and fair work. Theron told us that we could take the car to our mechanic for the inspection and offered a look at the vehicle's CarFax to answer some of our questions on the spot. The following day I brought the car to our mechanic who gave it a thorough once over. According to him the car was in nice condition overall but had a few potentially costly repairs that needed to be done (probably $900 total in the worst case). Most of these fixes were related to issues that, from my research, are common to the year and style of Impala we were inspecting. On the way back to Hallmark's lot I put the car through a couple of normal driving conditions that I have learned can expose underlying problems with a vehicle if you pay close attention. Overall the Impala seemed fine when my wife and I put it through its paces. Back at the lot we sat down with Theron and discussed our mechanic's findings and the price of the vehicle. Theron listened to our concerns and verified the key issues that our mechanic found with his own equipment. I should point out that from the beginning of our interactions, Theron seemed to me to be candid and honest. What he said about the car matched up with the CarFax report (which I had already viewed a partial version of on CarFax.com before even going to the dealership) as well as the key points of our mechanic's inspections and my personal experience and intuition from driving the vehicle. I cannot remember Theron saying anything inaccurate about the Impala that he did not qualify with an "I'm not sure but I think..." and most of these details either confirmed or found the correct answer for us. Overall he did not seem to hide anything about the condition, history, or flaws of the car he was selling. In the end he offered about $500 off the asking price given what we had discussed. I explained to him that that figure was still a little too high and we made a cash offer lower then his discounted price but close to the upper end of the car's fair market value according to KBB. He accepted, we signed the papers and drove off feeling that we got a good deal. I normally have some buyer's remorse when making a purchase like this whether or not it was a really good deal but walking away with this deal I felt satisfaction. Theron also wrote into the bill of sale that should we have any of repairs done for the major issues of the car through his mechanic the dealership would cover half the cost. All said and done I am pleased with the experience we had purchasing our latest car from Hallmark Motors. I would definitely look at this lot again if I were buying another vehicle. read more
