We bought a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo from
Austins a couple of months ago. I wanted to wait to
write a review because I had a couple of problems with
the Jeep after I bought it, and as it turned out the
issues were fairly minor considering the mileage and
age of the vehicle, and I will point out that the
mechanics at Austins offered to help fix one of the
issues.
The customer service and experience was great and
hassle free. Seems like it took all day just looking and
seeing what our options were. At the end of the day I
put 2000 down and ended up in a decent used car to
last a couple of years and help rebuild my credit.
At the end of the day my wife has a nice 2009 Dodge
Journey as her daily driver and the jeep is my toy for
fishing and camping. When it dies in a couple of years
I'll be back to get another one if I don't just end up
rebuilding the engine. I would buy from Austins again if
they have a suitable vehicle....
I'll conclude in saying this: When you are looking at
used cars make sure you find the car you like and take
the time to look it over. By rule, older cars with higher
mileage need tender loving care (eg: special oil,
upkeep every 3000 miles)
In this new economy Austins is a great resource. Like
anything you need to be responsible if you finance. If
you use their in-house financing make sure your
payments are on time. We haven't had any problems
so the experience has been good.
If your a cash buyer looking for decent used vehicles I
would recommend Austins. If your looking for in-house
financing for your credit situation I would caution you to
consider the consequences (eg. High interest rates,
late fee's and repossession) if you fail to make your
payments on time. Those are considered Hi-Risk
loans and companies don't mess around.
All around 4 out of 5 stars for what it is worth. Good
Customer Service, Good Selection, Alternative
Financing. I marked off a star because the Jeep had an
oil leak and Coolant leak. Fixed for under $300
