Have bought 2 cars so far from Walter! Only problem with the first one is the starter which was sold that way. No issues otherwise. Second car I had bought is a truck. Got approved quickly and Walter was very prompt and quick with responses. Only problem with the car is the transmission which was explained to us they will not flush it due to more problems but still went with buying it because car drove fine and shifted fine. So far so good with my services read more

I want to thank BUDGET Used Car Sales for such an amazing experience with purchasing my granddaughter her first car. I have experienced many deceptions when it came to me purchasing a vehicle without the presence of a man. After many unsuccessful times I decided to get a pre-inspection before purchasing. Again another deceiving tactic was used. BUDGET was very honest and caring and helped me to get my granddaughter a reliable car. BUDGET not only had cars withiny budget, but there is no budget amount when it came to their caring hearts and compassion. Thank you everyone at BUDGET Used Cars. read more

Sold me a vehicle with an active turbo fault (P0299 code). Came back multiple times asking for help and was completely dismissed. No accountability, no solution, just excuses. Once they get your money, they don't care. Very stressful experience. I would NOT recommend this dealership to anyone. read more

The general manager could atleast be honest and mention that most of the car are overpriced blue book value.

PLEASE READ SCAMMERS IN THE FLESHI went here on July 29th 2025 looking for a great quality used vehicle for my son (who is currently a Senior). The bank approved me for a loan on a 2013 Hyundai Sonata as this car would be a great investment towards my son future. Mind you... I asked for a Warranty on the car because it had over 146,000 miles on it and the sales man (Sean) told me that they didn't offer any warranty on the vehicle in-house because of the high mileage. Never the less, I took his word and purchased the car. PRICE PAID (7,500.00) August 29th 2025-Check engine light came on and the car started to jerk while driving and NOT going over 20mph. (my son was driving &FaceTime me to see what was going on because he was scared Sept. 2nd 2025 I had a mobile mechanic to come and look at the car and decided to get a tune up and oil change. (after hooking it up to the mobile code reader it read off 3 different codes). PRICE PAID (446.84) Oil he replaced was THICK & BLACK) & the plugs and wires that were replaced was rusted FYI... sales man told me ALL CARS ARE SOLD WITH FRESH OIL CHANGES & tune ups ...THE OWNER DIDNT PLAY about that; He ASSURES his lot is full of RELIABLE QUALITY VEHICLES.. After doing a tune up and oil change, vehicle still would Not start.! So a BRAND NEW BATTERY WAS PURCHASED for me to put in the car PRICE PAID ( 238.14) Car STILL DIDNT START Sept. 3rd 2025 -Got car towed to Killeen dealership PRICE PAID (73.00) for a diagnosis Sept. 7th 2025 -Killeen dealership told me that the engine needed to be REPLACED; THAT IT WAS LOCKED UP. Immediately called BUDGET AUTO SALES and they suggested to get it towed to THEIR RESPECTIVE MECHANIC SHOP (Tom's Automotive Repair) Sept.7th 2025 paid Killeen service department PRICE PAID (238.00) to release the car to get it TOWED TO TOMS.PRICE PAID (83.12) Sept. 11th 2925 -called Tone and it was determined that a NEW MOTOR was needed. Called back up to BUDGET AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT THEY WOULD PUT-only 500.00 towards a 4,600 Motor replacement. Sept. 15th 2025 -Went Mack up to Budget to speak to someone about this matter because spending over 9,409.00 (including rental) should not have been my expenses in less than 30 days of owning this vehicle. Spoke to Mr. Rodgers and he then offered to pay (1,000.00) on a (4,600.00) engine replacement. and to call Hyundai Corporate Office to see if they could help. While sitting at Budget I called and NOW, I have to wait 2-3 business days to get a response as to how THEY CAN HELP ME.!! As for BUDGET AUTO SALES they TOTALLY RIPPED ME OFF. Yes it was an AS IS CAR but like someone mentioned in their Review..You might as well go to the junk yard and purchase a car.! I failed to take warning from previous reviews because they were OLDER.!!! NOW I DEEPLY REGRET IT.!! All I ask it that they make it RIGHT... They didn't want to buy the car back because it has a busted motor and the man even suggested that a get a title loan to pay for the repairs Why would I do that if I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR. After the tragic death of one of my sons at Lake Belton on June 14th 2025 and paying out of pocket for some funeral expenses; this is one of the worse things a grieving parent has to go through There website says they are honest, have reliable vehicles, they CLAIM...They keep it REAL..and the cars forgo a thorough inspection, so you can drive off with confidence... BUT.. if it that was the case the oil should not have been thick and black in this car nor the engine locking up on the car Currently the car is being held at shop until I hear from The Corporate Office I WILL GLADLY KEEP YALL UPDATED on ALL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS read more

Don't go here. These people don't want to help you. Trust the rating, I have a better chance of landing a date with Margot Robbie then finding a reliable car for a decent price. THIS ISNT A DEALERSHIP, ITS A LEMON LOT. Scummy guys who want to rip you off and take your money. They don't give a fuck about you. read more

The guys there really had me thinking that I had gotten a good deal on my car. They were very kind and helpful. But, I admit, I ignored some of the issues that I was seeing and facing when buying a car from them. For example, the car I chose had to be jump started when I was ready to test drive. The battery was dead. I almost got a "replacement" battery. I had no idea that under the hood, there would be a number of very concerning issues. Such as, leaves littering the whole engine AND inside the area the spark plugs go in. Biiiiiigg build ups on oil and oil covered leaves. As if the precious owner replaced the spark plugs underneath and tree and had no worry about debris getting in an area that even dust can't be. This bad news has set off an expensive chain of events of replacing spark plugs, buying new tools, cylinder misfires, coolant leak, more build up, taking it to an auto shop, speaking too much money for it to then... not by fixed. I received a lemon from these guys and the warranty company they selected for me are rude and I'm nervous about trading my car in for a new one. But, not from Budget Used Car Sales. Not again. read more

If you really want a car from here then you might as well grab one from the junk yard because that's exactly where these cars are taken. I went here to look at a Mazda3 and I test drove it, everything was nice until I left for a week to test other cars and when I came back the car wasn't able to start. You shouldn't trust this place at all, should've known better when my mom came here last year to look at a truck and it couldn't even start either and the sales guy was the one showing us the truck. Thats just sad but really hilarious they're that stupid to try and pull such a scam. read more

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. They will sell you a lemon and they do not care. They are known for scamming if you look at the other reviews you'll see that. My husband and I bought a car from them recently and they cleared the codes so our mechanic thought the car was in good condition. Soon after buying, check engine light comes on and the coolant kept running out and we didn't know why. Come to find out the coolant had been internally leaking into the engine and Budget Used Cars had done a band-aid fix on the car in order to sell it to us fraudulently without disclosing the fact that the car needed a new engine. My husband and I are a young military family we are not rich and we have a 5 year old child that is about to start school and as of right now I have no way to even take my child to school and we are now going to be in loads of debt all because Budget Used Cars decided to scam an innocent young family to make a quick buck. They refuse to refund us our money and take the car back so we had no choice but to involve our lawyer and now have to spend tons of money to sue them under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Do not let them make you think you can't sue them because of that BS contract. It is not valid and we have rights as consumers to protect us. If a dealership is having you sign contracts like those then they are not selling you a good car. My husband and I clearly learned the hard way. They are disgusting evil people who only care about money and I would not wish this situation on my worst enemy. read more

Walter was a fantastic car salesmen. He went above and beyond to get us in a car we absolutely love. When we came in we had hopes but really wasn't sure we would be able to leave in something that fits our family and wants. He worked very hard and put in extra hours to make this happen for us. This car was even in our price range for payments. We had gone to some other places and the amount of monthly payment was astronomical. At budget Walter showed us vehicles that would work for our family, had everything we wanted, and looked great. Thank you budget and thank you walter. read more

This place is SHADY. Checked out a car there and it had so many dings and dents they didnt show in pictures then they tried to sell me a car with a transmission issue. I could feel the car jerking me out of my grave and they said "oh it just does that because its new." Dont buy here or even give them a chance its worth the risk. read more

This Lot sells Lemons and there mechanic is trash how didn't he see this smh, my front is coming down because it's melted on to the car, they told me they weren't fixing it and I'm all out getting help from them to fix the car that they sold me in this condition smh, I didn't ask for this car to come like this, I didn't ask for none of the major problems‼ lack of professionalism and lack of care for their customers, over it and now will be letting other people become aware of them read more

See all

I would like to thank Walter Nichols for ensuring my daughter received a quality vehicle. This was her first time purchasing and with limited credit, Walter ensured he guided her through the process. I currently reside in Alabama and my daughter in Killen, Texas. I am very grateful to Walter for his efforts and treating my daughter as though she were his. I can't say enough about Walter and finally to your company he is truly an asset to you. Keep him employed and people keep buying cars from him. Thanks Walter, Rebecca S. Huntsville, Alabama read more

OMG! They sell lemons on their lot. Be careful what you buy and MAKE SURE you take advantage of the 30 day warranty they guarantee because once it expires, everything breaks down and it becomes out-of-pocket expenses. Their "mechanic" is contracted to give them discounts for sending him customers, but they are not owned by the same company. Jose's is a rip off artist that does "temporary" fixes then forgets who you are after the warranty expires. read more

I had a great experience with Budget Used Car Sales. Drew Wright was my sales person. He was very professional, attentive , and informative. I purchased a very nice vehicle with low miles, and a 12 month vehicle protection plan. A big thanks to yo Drew. read more

I would give no stars if I could, sold me a car and a day later broke down on me in the high way and almost got hit by 3 cars. I was sold a lemon which is illegal to do. I called back and was told my car was being looked at by the mechanics out back, come to find out I was being lied to the car wasn't even on their lot being serviced it was else where. After a heated phone call kept being told they wouldn't refund me my money, I got called back the next day after telling them the day prior I would sue. I got my down payment back, but they did sell me a car with a bad motor and I had to argue to try to get my down payment back. Wouldn't buy a car from here, completely turned my vision sour on small dealerships. read more

Went here to get my daughter a sub-$5000 car. They advertise a lot on Facebook and carguru. Almost all of the cars we looked at had a "problem" indicator lit. The salesman kept trying to tell me that it was just a tire pressure sensor that was bad. One car maybe, 5 or 6? Don't think so. The salesman made sure we knew that if we bought a car there- it was 100% mine after I drove off the lot- no warranties. I didn't buy a car, but don't recommend shopping here. read more

Well It would seem most people people are in business to make money. I had the same problem, and all I did was gave them a call. They made the phone calls they needed to, and directed me to dispute the inaccuracy, which in turn they had no problem allowing it to go through.... Problem fixed...Did you try anything, or did you just lay down and take it ? I have purchased several cars from this company and I have never had a problem with their customer service. read more

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!!! These people will lie and knowingly sell you a broken car! The cars are nice and pretty but they will start having problems days after buying them! Horrible customer service! They were nice till I bought a car then took a 180 turn! Called to talk about my car having issues, the finance women (who thinks she is the owner) yelled at my husband and hung up on him. These people are awful and have left a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to used cars! Will never recommend or buy from these people again. Please, save your money and headache and go to a decent place! It cost me a couple thousand to fix the lies they told me! read more
