Sean was more than helpful and made the process so seamless! He worked with our tight budget (have to mention the Prius we bought was ALREADY listed for a great price) and was so attentive during the negotiation with the credit union. They have made customers for life and we tell all our friends in Manhattan, KS it's worth the drive if they need/want a new car.

I submitted a form for interest on a Mazda Miata and tried to call/text the numerous numbers they…read morehad on their site. I finally got a reply from one of them more than a day later. I was messaging the salesman, Gabriel, about the car details, when to arrange a time to come up to see it, even the possibility of trading in my car. I was able to exchange messages with him on 08/14 and he asked for the info about my current car so that he could look about a possible trade-in. I gave him the information with no response. On Friday 08/15, I was trying to confirm a time to be able to come up to take a look at (and buy) the car. I wasn't getting any response throughout the day, so finally I called a few of the numbers listed on their site. I was able to speak to a man who said that Gabriel was off of work that day, but he would let him know I called, and said I could come by on Saturday 08/16. On Saturday morning, I got a text from Gabriel at 10am and asked if I could come up there at about 4:00pm. He said that would work great and gave me the address to come to. I left Springfield (200 miles away) to be able to arrive up there even before 04:00pm. I was halfway there, and at 02:01pm, he texted me and said that he was just informed that one of the other sales people sold the vehicle half an hour ago. So I called to confirm this with him that it was actually finalized and sold and he said when he went to get the keys for it to bring it around to be ready for me to check out, he was told another salesman sold it. I told him I had already driven half way up there. He said "Oh yeah, sorry. Safe travels home." I completely understand making sales and getting money ASAP, and I understand if other people were buying the car -- what I am upset about is that I drove more than halfway to Kansas City before being texted that the car had sold with basically zero regard for the fact I had been trying to communicate about this car for several days and set up a specific time to come up. I know there's always a "risk" someone will buy it before I am able to. The lack of communication throughout my entire experience with them was so poor and they almost acted as if I was an inconvenience to be calling and asking questions. I had to call/text 5 different numbers before I could even get a response from anyone. Then the communication with Gabriel was very limited. Had to call a different person on Friday just to make sure it was still good for me to come up on Saturday. Re-confirmed with Gabriel on Saturday that I should come up there and he said yes, that was a "perfect time" for him -- only to be texted that it sold after I had driven over 100 miles to go see it. Extremely disappointed in the customer service, lack of communication, and very little regard for my time, when I arranged an appointment and had to travel in order to go up there, only to be met with a casual text of "it sold". If they aren't communicating well with you, just don't even bother with this place. They clearly didn't care about a potential customer who was going to be paying them thousands of dollars for a car. Do better by people, because this was ridiculous.

However, I…read morethink it's important for future buyers to fully understand the warranty limitations and not rely solely on a Carfax report. Shortly after purchase, the car developed engine issues. While I understand that certain components aren't covered under their warranty, this happened immediately after purchase and reinforced for me how important it is to get an independent mechanical inspection before buying even if the Carfax looks clean. I'm leaving three stars because the sale process was fine, but communication after the sale was lacking. My advice to others: ask detailed questions about what isn't covered and consider having the car checked out independently before finalizing anything.

Please do not buy a car from this place. If you don't buy a car from them, you can help them go out of business. Of bed and believe me I hope they do go out of business. A thing that kicked me off the most is the fact that when you read this voice description, they say they sell reliable vehicles. That is false advertisement. This place is basically the Verizon wireless of the used car world. And the customer service is about as good as Google fiber. Which basicly means it doesn't exist. Apparently I'm not the only person who had problems with my car. Read the other reviews do not ever buy a car from here.
