Mark is a breath of fresh air in the car sales world! I looked for months for a new (used) vehicle, purchased many carfax reports, researched and test drove, spoke with many sales individuals, and sacrificed many hours to the negotiation waiting games with the sales managers. During one of my daily searches on Auto Trader a new listing popped up for Mark Weinstein Motors. It was a "unicorn" vehicle - rare in existence - an older model, incredibly low mileage, in fantastic shape (barely driven) and the listed price was in the KBB green price range (either good or great price for the vehicle's value). I reached out to Mark, who was quick to answer any and all my questions. I was in Houston and I couldn't make the trip to Austin to see the vehicle until the weekend, but he graciously agreed to hold the vehicle for me without any downpayment once I had set an appointment for a third party inspection. Despite receiving other inquiries about the vehicle, he held it for me for almost a week and even stayed a little late on Friday for my husband's and my arrival into town. The test drive and purchase process were smooth and straightforward. Mark explained everything thoroughly and even went the extra step of fixing the temporary paper license plate on top of an old metal plate to make it more secure. It's another example of Mark's great customer service. Like his great communication from start to finish - phone calls and text messages were always answered promptly. He is good-natured and honest, which is hard to find in the car shopping business. I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle! read more

My first phone call with Mr. Weinstein was pleasantly easy, he took the time to answer all my questions and made the buying process unique to his Used Car business. Mr. Weinstein waited for us to arrive (same day-4hrs travel time) after close of business to provide an exceptional car buying experience with 1 hour process of our purchase and drive off. I will definitely refer anyone looking for a used vehicle. Good quality vehicles, no sales gimmicks, full transparency. Rare qualities, definitely appreciated in the used car arena. Thank you Mr. Weinstein. read more

Hands down the best car buying experience. Authentic, genuine, and well articulated- like no other car salesman. Thank you Mark!

While in Austin looking for a good deal on a used car, I Googled for used car dealers and found Mark Weinstein Motors. The name jumped out at me because I used to babysit a kid many, MANY moons ago, with the same name. I was curious. So, I gave him a call while sitting in the car waiting for my husband, who was looking at cars at a different dealership. Mr. Weinstein is a rare breed - an honest used car salesman! I explained that we had come up for the day to look at some cars at an auction, but didn't find what we were looking for, and that we were at another dealership. I told him what we wanted, which was something very inexpensive that we could pay cash for, preferably a Honda Accord, Toyota Corolla or similar rice burner. He didn't have what we were seeking, but we had quite a nice chat about cars and things. I even told him what dealership we were at, and he said that the dealer was a good guy. I can't tell you how relieved that made me, because we were sick of being lied to and we were nearly scammed twice in San Antonio. After spending quite a bit of time chewing the fat, my husband found what he wanted, so I thanked Mr. Weinstein and wrapped up our conversation. Next time I'm in the market for good used car, I'm going to check Mark Weinstein Motors first. He really takes the time to select the best cars to sell, and doesn't try to "hard sell." Oh, one more thing... he was not the kid I babysat. read more

About a month ago I bought a truck from here after a few weeks of looking. Initially what made me check it out was the amount of information available (CarFax, plenty of photos). The vehicle was in about as good of shape as pictured and I was given plenty of time to test drive it on local roads as well as the highway. After some deliberation, discussing the purchasing process with Mark was straightforward and led to me getting the car by the end of the day. Overall, it was one of my better car dealership experiences, and I would recommend stopping by to anyone with financing from their bank or cash in hand. read more

Long review, but worth a read!!! I would strongly urge all future customers to take extra time making a decision on a vehicle and actually taking it to a certified mechanic to have it checked out before hand. That will likely ensure you save $$$$'s Here's my story... Our initial experience was positive, but quickly turned into a nightmare situation when the check engine light appeared before the check cleared... We were informed by a certified mechanic that the motor had a crack in one of the cylinders and needed to be replaced. I recognize that used-cars cars are sold as-is in Texas, but I also thought he would feel some compassion towards a client having to spend over $5k days after purchasing a vehicle from him. We are not expecting him to cover the entire cost of the repairs, but just to see if there was anything he could offer to soften the blow. I kept Mark informed along the way and we had a good conversation, but hasn't reached back after our phone conversation last week. He did half-heartedly mention the warranty, but we weren't interested based on the car-fax and cleanliness of the vehicle. There were no obvious issues, but that was wrong. Moving forward we would recommend to use extra time in making a decision when purchasing a used vehicle from a non-dealership. read more

Mark is a pleasure to work with. Very professional, relaxed and ready to help. Mark only buys the best vehicles and shows you the carfax available on each of his vehicles. Highly recommend visiting Mark if you're looking for a car. Other dealerships will give you the run around and pressure you. Save yourself the time and stress, go see Mark. read more

Mark made buying a used car so easy and stress free. We got a great deal and Mark was extremely pleasant to work with. Will be recommending him to anyone that needs a used car! read more

I got my Ford Fled a month ago the best choice I ever made . Mr Mark is the guy if you want to get you a new car he explains everything to you and he works with you great I'm going to send my friends and family to him he is the best I love my first fkex.... Thank you Mr Mark read more

I HATE buying cars. I would much rather go to the dentist. Last week I spent the week at dealerships and playing the "shell game". I was looking for a specific car which is what lead me to Mark. The price was spot on as far as Edmunds goes and 2k less than what the dealerships had listed for basically the same car or even one a year older. Mark is the owner of this small lot. He has about 20 cars at one time but I was VERY impressed with the quality. I bought a car with 50k miles and it looks, drives and smells like a new car. He only goes with the best for his lot. Mark is very easy going and his forms for the sale are very simple. My bank was pleased at how easy they were to read and understand. He was willing to stay late and accommodate me too. I doubt very few car sales end in hugs but this one did because he was such a pleasure to work with. He does not have financing but will work with your bank. read more

A few weeks ago I found a Prius V that Mark had listed on Craigslist and scheduled a time to look at it the next day. I immediately felt how trustworthy he is and the care he puts in to his business. This was my first ever car purchase and Mark was not only incredibly kind and patient with all my questions, he also explained many details of the process that other dealers might expect you to know outright. As a young person making a big financial step in life, I was so grateful to have the best of both worlds--the knowledge and professionalism of a dealer with the kind and honest approach of a local business/individual. On top of all this, the car was impeccably clean and had a long history posted on Carfax so I felt like I was in the know of the car's past. It's very clear that Mark picks his inventory with a trained eye & assesses them well. This is a relief because it took the pressure off of me as the buyer. Buying a car can feel daunting but you can put your trust Mark! read more

I had an awesome experience buying my VW Passat from Mark. Every car on his lot seems to be in good condition and at a great value. You can tell he takes time to choose what he puts out on his lot. But I've got to say the best thing about Mark is that he is NOT pushy, at all. I will definitely be purchasing my family's next vehicle from Mark, and I would encourage you to do the same. read more

This guy is the real deal. This is the experience that everyone could only dream of getting from a car dealership! Mark made the experience into a great overall memory and family experience. No scams. No dirty car dealer schemes. No waste of time. Just per honest business. This man empathizes with the buyer and relieves the struggle experience of buying a car! The prices that you see for the cars are what the car actually is online. I got my 2016 Jeep Cherokee from Mark. He even made the trip for us to his dealership on a day that he is normally closed. Car was in excellent condition, and he was very informative about everything including the process of the contract. I will never forget the great sales business that Mark has offered to me and my family. I'm definitely calling this car my favorite and plan on keeping it for a very long time. 5 stars all of the way! read more

If you are looking for a good deal on an used car Mark is the guy to see. I got my Lexus from Mark. The paperwork part went quick and smooth. He was very informative. He kept me informed the whole time on when the plates would come in. read more

Mark Weinstein listened to me and help me throughout the process. He was very kind and informative and I felt very comfortable making my decision. There was no pressure, it was quick and painless. He worked around my schedule and met me up at any location I needed. He is very trustworthy and I have already recommended him to my friends. Excellent customer service!!! read more

I can't begin to express how grateful I am to Mark for how simple, comfortable, and transparent he made my very first solo car-buying experience. I went into this process ignorant and afraid of that ignorance being taken advantage of, but Mark made sure to be clear about what to expect and why, and I was confident and so, so pleased with my purchase. He has a small stock on purpose - these are great vehicles at super reasonable rates. Couldn't have asked for a better time doing what a lot of people dread. Yelp reviews lead me to his spot and I hope the next buyer reading this takes that same advice! read more

I bought my car from Mark two years ago and sold it to him today because I go back to my country. My car hasn't have any serious problem. In addition to that, I need to mention not only he has given me a lot of useful advices for two years but also his appraisal for my car beats CarMax. He strongly focuses on customer satisfaction, and there is no doubt that he is the best car dealer in Austin. Thank you so much for these two years, Mark. read more

Got my car here at right around the beginning of the new year. Mark gave me a fair price and walked me through everything. Super nice guy and quality cars. I've had my 2004 Hyundai Elantra for about a month or two and it's been running great and hasn't had any issues whatsoever. I would highly recommend looking for your next car here. The selection is smaller, but the quality is better, and the prices are super fair. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience buying a car from Mark. I was looking for a Volvo C30, which aren't made anymore thus making finding one difficult. I found one at CarMax in Houston for $18k. Mark had almost the exact one listed, only one year older, but with half the miles for $4k cheaper! Being that I live in Houston, I didn't have the time to go back and forth to Austin to investigate the car. Mark was wonderful over the phone giving me in depth info on the car and was nothing but accommodating in allowing me to have a mechanic come out to check out the car and even take it on a test drive for me. Mark is obviously very picky in what cars he decides to sell as the car was in perfect condition and passed with flying colors. The best part of my experience with Mark was in the fact that he was willing to hold the car for me, even without a deposit, until I could get to Austin. Getting to Austin was no easy task as this was right before Memorial Day weekend when all the flooding was going on. Mark completely understood that my routes to Austin were cut-off temporarily and still held the car for me even though he was receiving lots of other inquiries about it! All paperwork was ready to go when I got there and Mark took to the time to explain everything very thoroughly. The whole buying process was quick, easy and an extremely pleasant experience! Being that I live in Houston was no problem as he even mailed my plates to me. I wouldn't hesitate to drive to Austin to buy another car from Mark Weinstein Motors. I absolutely love this car and it has been nothing but a joy to drive. read more

I have been afraid of going through a dealership for years, concerned about honesty, genuineness, negotiating down to a fair price, the pushiness but I had recently been trying to buy a car through individuals on Craigslist and ran into a lot of scams. Out of frustration, I finally expanded my search and immediately found exactly what I was looking for at Mark's. Not only was the car fairly priced right off the bat, it was in incredible condition, but it was meeting Mark that sold me. Let every car dealer take a lesson from this man on how to be genuine, honest, cooperative, patient and kind! He helped me through every step of the process efficiently and clearly explained all of the paperwork and steps. He worked closely with me to secure financing through my credit union and even took the time to get the car inspected for me (it would expire in a month) at no extra charge. I trusted him from the moment I met him and his follow-through was testament to why. I did a buyer's check before purchase and they only said I might need to rotate the tires eventually. It drives perfectly and I am sure I will have it a long time. This is an unabashed endorsement. If you are even considering going to Mark, trust me- you should. read more

I bought my little 2011 Mazda 2 with 96K miles from Mark Weinstein in July 2016. (A side-note: See the review on 6/6/16 from Masahiro K.---that's the car I bought! Mark had told me that the former owner was a Japanese businessman who was going back to his country---there you go!) I live very near Mark's small dealership (on the corner of Burnet and North Loop) and I'd been eyeing the cute little car on my way to the bus-stop for a month or two before I finally started doing serious car research. I did research on CarMax, etc., but nothing in my price range (under $8000) either looked as snappy as the Mazda 2 or got as good reliability reviews. And some of the Yelp reviews on other dealers that had cars I was interested in weren't quite stellar. After a couple of weeks of shopping around online, what I'd begun to think of as "my" car disappeared from Mark's lot! I thought I'd missed out. Just in case, though, I finally gave Mark a call to find out what had happened to it... Turned out it was just temporarily sitting at a Mazda dealership up the road, but it was coming back soon... The day it got back, I did a test drive. Loved it. I then made an appointment with an independent mechanic to check it out the next weekend. All good. Then came the "haggling." It wasn't really. I had a printout from Kelly Blue Book's website showing the price range for the car. Mark also had a Kelly price-range printout. He quoted one price within the range; I quoted something at a lower end of the range. We met at a price closer to mine than his. Very fair. As I mentioned above, my price range was pretty limited. And I'd never bought a car on my own before, so to begin with I was a bit nervous and in the dark about the whole process. Mark assuaged all of my nervousness. Every aspect of the car shopping from my initial phone-call to the final title paperwork was handled smoothly, pleasantly, and professionally. I'm grateful for the good first-time experience. read more

The best car buying experience I've had. I spent weeks searching for a low mileage 4Runner at a reasonable price and Mark had it! Mark is super friendly, laid back, and knowledgeable on the cars in his lot. No need to stress when you go to his lot. Mark is very transparent about everything and had no problem with me sending out a mechanic to check out the car on his lot. He has a lot of confidence in his cars, and for good reason. Mark emphasizes quality and it definitely shows when you look at his lot. If you're looking for a reliable car that won't cost an arm and a leg and you can't stand pushy sales-tactics, then Mark is your man! read more

I recently bought a 2011 Nissan Xterra from Mark and had a great car buying experience. Mark is a one man shop, so you always work with the owner. That is huge! Although he has a small lot, his inventory is nothing but very nice used vehicles handpicked by Mark himself. Most come from other major dealerships instead of the auto auction. If you're in the market for a used vehicle, I would highly suggest stopping by and talking to Mark. read more

I cannot imagine a car dealership being better than Mr. Weinstein's. His cars are immaculate and their history is documented. One look around the lot tells you that he is choosy about his inventory: each vehicle has some unique appeal and is in fine condition. Mark is gracious and helpful, he's willing to discuss any aspect of the car and the transaction until you are satisfied. I drove away in my "new" car with no doubts that I had gotten a good deal on an excellent car. I recommend him and his car lot to anyone without hesitation. Charles H. read more

You would never think that the owner/salesman of this car lot is a car salesman. He is the nicest, on-the-level person I have ever dealt with. Due to hitting a deer, me and my family was in a pinch for a vehicle. Mark showed us some replacement vehicles. They were factory fresh and clean. He let us look over the whole vehicle, test drive it, worked with us on holding the vehicle until the insurance check came. He is an awesome, honest man. Shop here without fear of pressure or underhandedness. I look forward to coming back for our next used car. read more

Mark was unbelievable. I know that everyone has preconceived ideas about a used car salesman but Mark is the exact opposite of that stigma. Me and my wife have been looking for a car for months. Mark had exactly what we wanted and explained the taxes/fees clearly and concisely. He really just educated us on the process and showed documentation to back up what he was saying. We found him by accident but couldn't be happier with our purchase and the integrity that he displayed. GO SEE MARK if you are in the market for a used car! read more

I needed to find a replacement car for my son. We had been all over Austin, looking for a decent used car. Happened to be looking on Yelp one day and found Mr. Weinstein's ad. I couldn't believe some of the low mileage, great looking cars. Found the perfect Honda Accord coupe. We have now had the car for about 6 months. Couldn't be happier. Mark is a true professional. Very easy to work with. He has keen knack for finding great used cars. Look no further. You have arrived. Thanks. Mark. read more

Don't do business here. Sold me a super lemon. Paid 18k for an 2015 Infiniti q40, 26k miles on it one month later needs a new engine. Said there was nothing he could do for me. I signed an as is form and he dumped the car on me. Don't be fooled by his nice front. He is laying off trash on people. read more

I've owned probably 20 cars over the last 45 years, most of them bought used, and buying from Mark was the best car-buying experience I've ever had. He stocks only the best used cars available, stands behind them and is extremely helpful throughout the process. One of the things I appreciated most was how straightforward everything was, no up-selling, no pressure, no complicated negotiations, very fair prices, great advice and great follow-through. Used car salesmen don't have the best reputation but Mark is that rare exception that you hope to find when you're shopping for a car. I'd give him more than five stars if that were possible. read more

Mark Weinstein treated my family and I with respect from the moment we arrived. He not only gave us a great deal, but he made sure we didn't pay for unnecessary things. I should also note that I've driven my new car back and forth between Oregon and Texas twice now with absolutely no issue. I LOVE my car!!! Thank you, Mr Weinstein! read more

Nice honest place to buy a car. Mark is straightforward and kind. He's not pushy and he's as nice to you if you're buying as if you're not. His lot isn't very big but you can tell he handpicks his inventory for the kind of stuff that appeals to folks, good quality cars in good shape but used so we can afford them. It was such a nice experience to spend time and end up purchasing from Mark Weinstein compared to the time I spent at the big dealerships. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. read more

I bought a car from Mark last month, and it was possibly the most pleasant transaction of this sort I've had in many years. Being someone who detests new car prices, but finds the used car buying process more complex nowadays in what is getting to be a big and transient town, I appreciate the down to earth experience that Mark provides. I walked on the lot with one car in mind, but he had many that could have fit my bill: mostly highly rated cars from quality manufacturers, that he has hand selected. I test drove a couple, then did my due diligence and checked out other lots and individuals. I came racing back when I saw his was indeed a gem. 1st independent service last week confirmed what the carfax he had provided suggested: this car had been well maintained and is likely to be problem free for some time. Don't bother crawling thru other lots folks - Mark has a great selection and, better yet, a caring nature. My daughter is going to be driving soon, and I know exactly where we'll come when we pop for her "safe bet" vehicle. read more

I drove almost six hours to pick up my "pre-loved" little car from Mark. Obviously, I was more than nervous. Talking to Mark on the phone really helped settle my nerves. He's such a straight forward guy. The car was as promised and in awesome condition! I drove it all the way home 298 miles with no major issues. The process was very simple and fast. I think I spent all of 2 hours with him signing papers and talking (probably would have only been about 15 min if I was such a chat). Process went great over-all and couldn't be happier. I've seen the reviews about Mark and couldn't imagine anything like that from him. As a sales person myself I give my word and face to my customers all the time. I'd like to do the same for him. If there were any doubts about me being "real" add me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/H.Town91. read more

I had an absolutely positive car buying experience working with Mark Weinstein himself at Mark Weinstein Motors. Mark provides detailed CarFax for his entire inventory, something not common among smaller dealerships-- great for piece of mind and knowing the complete history of any potential vehicle purchases. Although his lot is smaller, his inventory is nothing but quality used vehicles handpicked by Mark himself. Mark completely eliminated all the negative stigmas one might associate with used car lots. In my personal opinion, I believe he has very competitive prices. He even went as far as helping me choose a way of financing my automotive loan through another local financial institution, as I was having troubles with my own bank (which resulted in me getting a tremendously low interest rate). If you're in the market for a used vehicle, I would highly suggest taking a look at his inventory via his website and contacting him for an appointment. It is also worth noting that I got my vehicle fully inspected the day after I purchased it and had zero issues. read more

I recently had to purchase my very first car. The car my parents bought me in college stopped working which sent me into a frenzy to figure out what I was supposed to get next. After a very rainy, long day of searching all over austin for a car, my parents and I stumbled upon Mark's dealership while looking online for the next dealership to hit. Mark was incredibly nice and very upfront with us about price and reliability. My Volkswagen is even better than what I was expecting to get. Thanks so much Mark! read more

My wife went by Mark's and drove about 5 different cars but didn't find what she was looking for but she did find a vehicle I might be interested in. Sure enough I was. He showed me the Carfax on the vehicle. He did not pressure me at all too by the vehicle. So far I've put about 3000 miles on it (I drive a lot) and it has worked very well, no complaints. Thanks Mark. read more

This is my first review on Yelp but I just had to express my delight with my Car buying experience from Mark! The used car business has had a bad stereotype for many people but Mark has proven it wrong! I am so happy with my purchase & will send family & friends. read more

Bought a vehicle here, and couldn't be happier. Mark is honest, genuine and very trustworthy. I will not hesitate to recommend him to Family and friends! read more

I recently bought a car from Mark. He was very kind and helpful. The location is a little off putting as his lot is very bare bones but that's to be expected for a one man show type place. He had the exact car I was looking for and I was very thrilled to purchase it! It had several large issues right off the bat, but after sinking another 2,200 into it we have a great car. I'm giving him a 4 star review because I feel if he had known the struggles we faced with the car in the first months he would just feel awful. When the problems first presented themselves he did step up without being asked to help pay for the window motors that were shorted out by the electrical issues. But that was just a taste of things to quickly take effect and reveal the real issue. I think he's a good guy and a honest dealer but buyer be warned. Even if it's the exact car you want make sure you have it looked at before you buy. Mark is not a mechanic and can not know the past of all the cars on his lot. All and all, after the dust has settled and I now have a drivable car, I love it! But have ANY used car looked over before you make a deal, from any dealer! I did pay to much for a car with large issues but that's no ones fault but mine :/ Mark is a good guy and we would buy from him again in the future! read more

I had a decent experience buying a used vehicle earlier this year from Mark. He seems to downplay faults in a vehicle without making any price accommodation. He is not a big negotiator either as he explains in his lengthy monologue. He did everything to explain the process and it worked out smoothly. Despite the vehicle faults my new to me car is running fine. read more
