Car Dealerships

So there is this local car place in my town. It sells randoms not a normal "dealership". Anyway they have a car that i like (an Acadia) and i wanted to go look at it. DH is hesitant. Has anyone had an experience with a car place like this? Thoughts?

    My parents bought me a car for college from one of these places. They probably wouldn't have done it, but my Mom looked in the glove box and the previous owners had left some maintenance paperwork. She called them up and asked why they sold the car and it was just to upgrade to the fancier model. My cousin is still driving that 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse which I gave her a few years ago. Be nosy, see if you can find anything in the glove box!

    @JackoftheBox, to be fair, you went to a stranger's house for a blow up house, so it seems this would at least not end in your potential murder ;)  ;)  ;)
    ONE TIME!!! LOL 

    And i don't have to drive a bounce house around daily with my child.

    Oh, totally, I was 100% kidding.

    I am finicky and wouldn't buy a car from anyone but a branded dealership.

    Oh i know. I am usually like this but i really want an Acadia and they are so freaking expensive. I would go to a traverse or an enclave as alternatives if i found a good deal.

    Is it a CarMax type place? My sister has gotten cars from there no problem. They were used cars though. I don't know if you are looking at new or not.
    Definitely used. I can't afford a new one lol.

    Even if you could afford a new one, it is so much smarter to let a first owner take the hit on depreciation and buy a reliable used car :)

    Agree completely.... I am a "certified pre owned" girl.... Let the previous owners work out the kinks if there are any.
