My best friend got into a collision and totalled his 6 day old Honda Accord. Having experienced the same thing with my Toyota Camry some years back, I encouraged him to pick up his wits and conquer the road again by finding a replacement immediately. He followed my advice, did extensive googling, and came across a used Mini Cooper listed at Murphy's Motors that matched his desired budget and mileage comfort level. We called them and made an appointment to see the car. The co-owner Andrew addressed all the questions we had about the Carfax report on the Mini. Upon meeting Andrew and inspecting the car, he handed us the key to test drive the Mini. We drove it around and fell in love with it. We got back and sat down with Andrew to discuss the feasibility of owning this car. We asked Andrew for the lowest monthly rate he can give. He showed us different payment scenarios and how the financing schemes work and answered all our questions. Unlike previous used car dealers we went to, Andrew did not hard-sell the car to us nor imposed that we use the banks that he dealt with. He even encouraged us to apply for an auto loan with the bank of our choice for the best rate, and that's what my bff did. A week later, we received promising news from the bank that he applied at. We went back to Murphy's Motors and gave Andrew the news that we want the car and are probably able to finance it upon final word from the bank. He handed us the key and said, "I trust you guys, take the car and consider this an extended test drive while we are still waiting from the final bank approval." We were shocked at how trusting he was with us.
A week later we received news from the bank that there was going to be a delay with the approval due to his previous loan. He just said, "Just keep the car for 30 days and see what happens."
Unbelievable!
Another week passed and the temporary registration on the mini expired and the loan couldn't get approved in time, unfortunately, because of his loan issues from the previous car. So we returned the car at this point - we had the car for 21 days to test drive! What dealer does that?!? I kept telling Andrew that he was an angel because my buddy was so devasted with his accident and Andrew's positive and laid back attitude was a warm layer amidst the dread of a 50% increase in insurance rates. He was there when we needed him. We've never met anybody who has a pure and honest heart like this guy. You can talk to him and not be harassed like any other dealerships do to vulnerable customers! He ultimately wants his customers to be happy with their purchase and if it doesn't work out, no hard feelings will be exchanged. Even his employees reflect how he runs his business - with kindness and generosity. His mechanic Elmer, is a great dude too! We learned a lot from him.
So please, check out Murphy's Motors' inventory. If you like any of the cars that he has, Andrew will definitely make sure that it meets your criteria on used cars. Also our advice is for you to do your own research and learn more about the car that you are interested in so you can ask the right questions. Andrew has a reliable crew of people working for him so if you buy your car from him, he will not be that usual used car salesman who will bamboozle you into buying a lemon. read more
