Here's my two cents for your better experience at this dealership.
I've read there are some bad comments about their poor experiences.. I understand it can happen when you buy a chep used car. Your experience may vary. These used seller buy a ton of cars from automotive auctions and they... honestly don't commit to examine car's condition but just do minimum maintenance to sell it AS-IS. So, wherever you're looking for a car around $5,000 or below, it's your responsibility to examine the car which you're buying AS-IS.
Here are my recommendations for prospective buyers to enhance their buying experience.
1) Bring your friends or family members to look at the car together. If they are good at cars, you're blessed.
2) Bring your OBDII code scanner and examine the car you're looking at.
3) Open the hood and check the engine bay, serpentine belt's tension, listen to the car's engine sound when it is cold.
4) Do test drive enough. One of the benefit you can experience from this dealership is that they'll allow you to do testdrive as much as you need. I did my test drive about 30 minutes and they didn't complain. So, do it at your best and pray for the best luck.
5) If you have enough time, stop by other dealers and look at the same car with similar model year. The more car you check, the better knowledge you'll have. That'll help you to discern if the car you're checking will be yours.
6) Ask for a carfax report and check if the car has been maintained regularly. If it has been sitting here and there for a long time without maintenance records, you know what it is.
Praying and wishing the best luck for all of you. I'm still trusting in them and will be more than happy to check out with them next week. But beware what you're doing. You're looking for a cheap car, and with this price range, many cars have been parked at auto auctions for a long time and transferred to dealerships around here and there.

I purchased Kia Sedona from this dealership and Dominic helped my transaction. Swift experience as described on Cargurus reviews. No pressure, he allowed me to take time with the car. Printed out carfax report right away and explained all my questions. The Dealership building was clean, my car was well buffed (could use interior detail though but it would increase the total price.) highly recommendable for purchase experience. Will come back after long term driving experience of my new-to-me car! Thanks for your business!
