Review from Sean M.
4/26/2010
We stumbled across this little place on our way into Austin to visit some of the big car dealerships there after our trusty minivan died.
We pulled into the small lot on a rainy Saturday morning, to be greeted a minute or two after we clambered out of the car by Brian, the flip-flop clad owner of the place. He joked around pleasantly with us as I told him what we were looking for. After providing some peanut M&Ms for my hungry wife, he showed us a nice Mercury Villager that was already in our price range, ran a copy of my license, and tossed me the keys.
We took it for a spin and quite liked it. On our return, he said "I've been sharpening up my pencil, and wanted to tell you the best price I can manage on this van," and quoted us a figure substantially below the already reasonable price. We told him we had a few more places to visit that day, but that we'd definitely keep it in mind. "I'll warn you, as you go further into Austin, the prices get higher and the salesmen get more obnoxious!" He then printed out the info sheet for the van, gave it to us along with his lower price, and cheerily sent us on our way.
His parting words proved to be prophetic. We didn't find any deals in Austin that compared favorably to the price he quoted us, and certainly didn't find anyone as agreeable to work with. We dropped back by later than afternoon to take the van around the block again. "While you're out, could you put some gas in it for me? Here's a $20." We decided to buy the van, write Brian a check, and were on our way with a good van and no hassle.
The only thing that was a little disappointing, though understandable, is that Brian wasn't comfortable having us take the van down to San Marcos to our mechanic. He was happy to offer the number of an independent inspector and to call the local Firestone garage for us, though, so we had options that were almost as good.
All in all, we really appreciated the experience, and will likely start our next car search there
