My husband and I have bought several vehicles at Modern and from Skyler and every single experience was awesome. There is zero pressure to buy. We have only had an issue with one vehicle and it was a 2018 Ford FI50 that the electronics went out in and we were a month out of the factory warranty. It was not modern's fault and even though we had already owned the truck a few weeks before it happened, Modern took care of it for us. We have never an issue that Modern was not willing to help us on and I've seen them treat other customers the same way. Skyler is friendly and fun to work with and buying a vehicle is extremely easy here.

Horror at “Modern motors Car Sales! Nixa MO...

Horror at “Modern motors Car Sales! Nixa MO We bought a Land Rover LR4 HSE Delux 2016 for $30,005.00 2.5 months later the engine melted down. Skylar said the engine was a boat Anchor. WOW 2.5 months $30 grand gone. Plus $2,000 DMV tax. Lies are well rehearsed: 1. Check out every vehicle before the sale-“Lies or their service center is incompetent to find simple and usual problems with their cars going out for sale.” 2. Before, During and After the sale- what a joke-meaningless 3. They don’t Teach important facts about you’re new purchase, and then hold you to what you don’t know, and haven’t been taught. 4. “Extended warranty” good thing we didn’t buy that from Modern motors for $4,000.00. Modern motors was quick to point out. “Had you bought out the extended warranty it would have been worthless.” This was passed on from Modern motors service center. 5. They offered us $15,000 to buy back our $30,000 (just paid for) car to aid our terrible loss but sorry time’s up Modern Motors didn’t really mean it. 6. Modern motors almost seems to be working against the new vehicle buyer not in their favor. A. However within days I was told there was a Code light with -in 138 miles. I didn’t see any code light. I am driving along and I get flashed a check engine light? What light? How long was it on? Most important how come you’re certified technician didn’t find and fix this before I bought it? B. There is a handwritten note from you’re certified technicians when you got the car back “Fan sensor circuit has no signal” Why was that not caught before the sale. Was this sabotage from the previous owner and Modern motors Service center missed it? This may have laid a trap to anyone acquiring this car. Again why didn’t Modern motors service center find it. 1. Was this another thing you’re certified technician “Missed when they checked out the car for sale?” 2. Did I even get a signal of something wrong as I went down the road? Driving 60 miles an hour. Do I need to keep my eyes on the dash gage every min to know to call for help? 3. Jason never taught us warning lights. A. I called several “Land Rover Service Centers” in several states the Land Rover and the “Engine Light” can briefly come on and go off for several problems including heating problems. Electric Engine fans, Working and then slowing down then speeding up again. If I understand correctly sort of shorting on and off. Thermostat working partly and not working. Flashing a engine ck lite briefly while driving then going off. My wife and me wanted 90 days warranty but Carol in Financing: said 1. “AS IS” is fine for several reasons we at Modern motors support you “Before, During and After” the sale. 2. She said this car was thoroughly gone thru, while it was still under warranty and several things replaced. 3. We still wanted a 90 day guarantee but she calmed us by saying I’m sure we will fix it after the sale. “Before, During and After” the sale. We are known for this. 4. She offered us a $4,000.00 dollar “Extended warranty” only to find out it would have been worthless. Engine melt down on busy road. A. Engine light (I Saw this orange light smoke out the back of the car) pulled over quickly. Car wouldn’t start. Our Life in danger on a busy highway pulled to the side of the road. B. My wife and I in our late 60’s was looking like we were going to have to walk beside a busy road 3 miles to get help with our small dog. Bad cell phone in the area. Tow truck to my house. Tow truck to Modern Motors. A. Skyar said engine is a boat anchor: sorry B. Modern Motors: Said Post-sale follow up sorry this is a bridge too far to help you with. C. Modern motors said sorry but “Had you bought” the $4,000 dollar Extended warranty we offered you it would have been voided because you failed to see the engine light that flashed you the first few days you owned it. What light where? D. Modern Motors offered us $15,000 dollars to buy the car back. ($15,000.00 loss) 2.3 months of owning the car. “OH they changed their mind.” Times up! Raspberry sound ! Note the lies here. In Conclusion Modern Motors: Their vehicles may leave you walking with-in 3 months, and they won’t give you any help. If you want to be walking on the side of the highway. If you want to buy an “Extended warranty” only to find out it is worthless. Taking advantage of the elderly, at least us. Then buy you’re next vehicle from “Modern Motors” of Nixia MO.

Dealer response

Dave, we share in your frustration surrounding this situation. The 2016 LR4 you purchased was thoroughly vetted in our service center as we do all of our inventory. We then put a little over 250 miles of drive time into this vehicle through test drives and overnight drives by our owner and operations manager prior to you purchasing it with 97,237 miles. When we received your LR4 at our service center after the failure the engine was inoperable. We scanned it with OE Land Rover diagnostics and found that over the course of nearly 1,700 miles of driving multiple codes had appeared which trigger check engine lights. The engine history showed that vehicle did overheat and unfortunately you continued to drive it at 65+ miles per hour for nearly 20 miles, ultimately causing catastrophic engine failure. We always strive to take care of our clients before, during and after the sale as our reviews will show. We believe in being fair and building return customers. We do not believe owner operator negligence is our responsiblity. We did make an effort to trade you back out of the LR4 which would have shared the expense of the situation and regret that this wasn’t an acceptable solution for you.

Easy to blame it on me instead of the huge Negligence of you're service center! 2.5 months after buying this from you and after you're team did all that testing. Some how (You said) I had a engine light flash me as I got home from buying it from you're show room. WOW what a coincidence! I guess you're service center better put more than 250 miles of drive time testing Modern Motors Vehicle's. What ever they did wasn't enough! Or they are incompetent. I said yes to you're offer after waiting for complete engine diagnostics. It was all a joke. The Joke was on me on my wife. You took our $30,000.00 dollars and 2,5 months later left us stranded on a busy highway! w Dare you!

Great people to work with, I'll definitely be buying from them again in the future. Gave me more for my trade then I was asking. You can feel the difference working with this group.

Modern Motorcars was a pleasure to work with. Buying a vehicle long distance during these difficult times is tough enough. I was unable to travel to see the vehicle due to employment restrictions regarding COVID. Don set my mind at ease and provided me with any and all requests I asked of him - photos, videos, etc. The purchase process was smooth and easy. Delivery went well and the vehicle actually arrived a day ahead of schedule, safe and sound. Thanks to Don, Brandon and all his staff.

Fantastic Service, fair prices!

Don and Carole were top notch! They made me feel comfortable, no one pushed me into anything, and had the vehicle ready for me when they said they would. I called the day before and secured financing, and they found me a better fixed rate than anyone else with a locally owned bank! I drove all the way from Jefferson City to do business with them, and I will do business with them again in the future!

Not a trustworthy dealership. Agreed to price and terms over the phone and text. Was asked to initiate financing application to hold car. Filled app out and never got a straight answer from anyone. Finally got a hold of the manager on day 3 only to find out the car was sold. Dishonest staff and people. Avoid this dealer.
