Decent car

I got the car at a decent price for year and mileage. He was friendly and easy to deal with. Had some difficulty with the paperwork. Fortunately Ken was very helpful fixing it and I didn't have to pay any late fees, just had to wait longer than I would have liked to get my plates. Overall, I am pleased with the car. It was worth the drive to pick it up.

Great Services! Would refer them to anyone!!

Buying my new car from Cragg Motors was the best decision I made. I drove 3 hours to get there and would do it again in the future. The owners were very friendly and nice.

MY SPORTS CAR SOURCE

I have purchased four cars from Cragg Motors, a Suzuki Forenza, a Chrysler Crssfire Roadster, a Mazda MX5 Mazdaspeed, and a Toyota MR2 Spyder. I purchased them as much for Ken Craig's honesty, as much as the quality of the cars. I would recomend Cragg Motors to anyone looking for a high quality used car.

Great Service

We bought a 2010 Subaru Outback from Cragg Motors. We love the car and feel we got it at a very fair price. We were happy that he offered to repair a few areas of hail damage as well. My husband researched for a long time in his search for a newer vehicle. He was thrilled to get this vehicle at the price we paid. The entire transaction was smooth. No haggling, just talking together. We would highly recommend using them in your search for a car. We have already recommended them to our daughter and her husband when they are ready to look for another vehicle.

Great Dealer, Great Car, Great Guy. THANKS!

I found a 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track on cars.com and fell in love instantly. Of course the next step is to go visit the dealer who is selling it. That part can be what determines if you buy the car or not. My girlfriend and I arrived to find that the owner of the dealership kept the car in the garage (as it deserves to be.) The owner Ken was very laid back and even cracked a few jokes. Well, more than a few. He created a no pressure environment which was much appreciated. He was very upfront about his pricing, and the vehicles history, as well as how he does his financing. His Financing company was able to find me a great deal and in just a few hours. We went back to the Cragg Motors after I had been approved and told him i wanted to buy the car TODAY. My schedule would have made the process take a week or more, but Ken and his wife were kind enough to stay late to make the transaction happen, It was extremely painless, and I would recommend the dealer to friends.

Great experience

We are new to the area and found a low mileage corolla at a great price at Cragg Motors. The overall process couldn't have been easier. Ken Cragg was easy to work with. One of the best car buying experiences I've ever had. Definitely worth your time to give them a chance. I wouldn?t hesitate to go back.

Pass, or it may cost you!

I found a 2004 MR2 Spyder online for sale on cars.com. Cargg Motors out of 332 N Scott Ave Belton, MO 64012 was the seller. I told Mr. Cragg (the owner and only employee) that I was driving from Minnesota so I would like to know if there was anything wrong with the car. He sent a few pictures of some light damage (fading of paint on bumper and side mirror). After driving 500 miles I found more obvious damage (broken storage latches, multiple holes in the convertible top, leather steering wheel peeling off, plastic part covers missing) then what he had reported. We were able to come to a comprise on price (taking off a few hundred dollars) and after driving 500 miles I didn?t want to go empty handed, so I bought the car. I didn?t even get the car home before I had major problems, cruise control not working, convertible top not latching tightly, and worst of all the car over heating? the car had to be towed to the Toyota dealer. I called Cragg and informed of the problem he didn?t offer to help and stated I hope it?s something small like a broke hose. Today (40 hours after buying the car) the Toyota dealer called me and reported that the MR2 Spyder had been in a major cash at some point with air bag deployment and that the car had been poorly patched together. The wire harness was pigtailed back together (that?s why the cruise control was not working) and missing key parts and steering wheel bracket was broke. I called Cragg to discuss the inaccurate car fax report and the problems. He came up with some creative responses 1. That my local Toyota dealer that I had my MR2 towed to works on commission and that they may not be reliable in their assessment. However, I went to the dealership and observed the replaced air bag and the poorly halfway repair wire harness from the steering wheel. 2. That he or the previous driver had no knowledge of the prior crash. The Toyota repair shop stated the wire harness had been more than likely patched back together after the crash. This would mean that the Cruise Control had not worked since the crash. Also it was apparent when looking at the car on the lift that it had been in a major crash. Had the previous owner (who owner it for 4 years) or dealer had the car on a lift they would have seen obvious signs of damage. This should not have been a surprise to them. 3. Cragg then told me that I failed to have the car inspected upon purchase. I was driving 500 miles from MN. To find a repair shop have it checked out did not seem feasible. Cragg did tell me that he checked it out and didn?t notice problems and stated he questioned the previous owner at length who stated there were no problems and it had never been in a crash at the time of purchase. I repeatedly asked Cragg what if any response would he take. He kept insisting that I was trying to place blame on him. Clearly I bout the car AS IS and this problem was now mine. I told him I was not blaming him however I asked if he felt any moral or ethical obligation to help me. I never received a clear answer. I did suggest that he took the car in at much less than what he sold the car to me at, I asked that he refund me the profit of the sales to cover a part of the large repair bill. He would have not lost money and I would have a small portion of my repair bill covered. He said he took offence to that idea. We than spoke for a few more minutes where I kept trying to lock him into a response good or bad I wanted understand what his response would be. I then asked if he needed more time, he stated he would call me in 24 hours with a response. I will update you on Cragg?s response and other events.

Dealer response

There is nothing worse than to travel a great distance to see a vehicle and feel as though it wasn't as nice as described on the phone or in pictures. Though the review that was given was far from accurate of what actually happened, it still is upsetting to me that one of my customers had a negative experience, regardless of the reason. It is also understandable how truths are greatly exaggerated or omitted when someone is upset when describing their experience. This was a 9 year old, 131,000 mile trade-in that I got...and though it wasn't near as new as what I normally deal with, I thought it would make someone a nice little, inexpensive commuter car. To make a long story short, I called the Toyota dealership that this vehicle was towed to and I spoke to the Service Manager. He informed me that the cooling system developed an air pocket while my customer was driving back to MN, causing the car to overheat. He also stated that no mechanic would have been able to forecast something like that happening on a car with 5 miles on it much less 131,000. During the inspection, the dealership informed my customer that the vehicle at one time had been in an accident. Since this vehicle had a clean carfax, I called up the customer who traded it in to me. He stated that he owned it 4 years and that it had never been in an accident in that time, and that the only thing he ever had to do to the car was to replace an oxygen sensor. While I was describing this vehicle to my customer, I failed to run a flashlight across the convertible top with someone inside or looking up through it on a sunny day to see that it had several ?tiny pin holes?. I failed to notice that one of the adjustable latches on the convertible top wasn?t as tight as it should have been. I failed to notice a broken plastic piece behind the seats, and I didn?t know that the cruise control didn?t work. Even though it was a 9 year old car, I felt terrible when my customer arrived and he pointed these things out. I hate negative surprises and I hate giving them, which is why I always want to make sure that I point out every little flaw before one of my customers makes a long trip, as I do have customers from all over the country. I then lowered my price to an agreeable amount which was already ?below KBB ?Fair Condition, Private Party Value? and $4,000 below KBB Retail Value. The Service Manager at the Toyota dealership informed me that he told our mutual customer that it was understandable why I would miss these things on an old trade-in and that I would be extremely generous in paying ?any portion? of his repair bill, also letting him know that normally when a vehicle is purchased ?AS IS? that the selling dealer would never pay a dime for anything after the vehicle leaves the lot. The total bill at the Toyota dealership to fix the air bubble problem and the cruise control was $679.43. I paid half of this bill $339.72 prior to the posting of his review. Unfortunately, this was not satisfactory to my customer. He felt that though this car had a clean Carfax history, that I should show him further ?ethical? responsibility and refund him an additional portion of his purchase price because of an unknown accident that happened at least three owners ago. I believe that my success has come largely from the fact that I have a strong business ethic, and that I stay very far removed from the typical ?car dealer stereo-type?. The main enjoyment and satisfaction I get in what I do as a small independent business owner and auto dealer is my selection and selling of a high quality product. It is also the happiness of my customers in the entire buying process and the trust that they bestow on me in helping them in such an important purchase.

Trustworthy

Have purchased one vehicle from Cragg and now looking at a second. Dealer is selective in what he buys and will pass on the quality to his customers. I will be back for future needs as well.

Shopped the mettro, bought from Ken

With my 203k-mile Caravan in it's death throes, we went to about a half dozen big dealerships around the metro, looking for a used car 2 or 3 years old. We ended up buying from Ken, who provided us with the BEST deal we could have imagined - a 2012 with 1,600 miles on it. He was honest, no pressure, stayed open late for us, & took about 10 minutes to complete all the paperwork & hand us the keys when we decided to purchase. In 200k miles, I will hit Ken up for another awesome deal.
