Used Buick for Sale in Bessemer, AL

I drove the Buick Encore Essence 2017 with sun roof during a 10 day stay in Arizona for vacation. I originally rented a Nissan sedan but they were out so I took 'the blue SUV'. I was 5 miles north on route 17 when I noticed how quiet the ride was. Then a text came over the Android Auto, which I didn't realized I hooked up by connecting the USB cable to the charger. I found the interior to be very intuitive. The long ride from Phoenix to Sedona was very enjoyable the heated steering wheel and seats plus motorized drivers seat. The pick up climbing the mountain grades was easy as was passing trucks and cars. It doesn't have crazy horse power by any means by it performed fine. The keyless entry and start were great since I was always carrying backpack and gear, no fumbling for the keys. Then I drove back down to Phoenix for 5 days and it handled the off dirt roads to the trail head fine. I came home and 2 weeks later I traded in my loyal Subaru Impreza wagon that I had for 6 years. I enjoyed the Impreza but it has a CVT trans and I wanted to drive a traditions auto trans. The Encore has 25 MPG +/- and I'm ok with that. I purchased the AWD as I live in Massachusetts and NO... FWD with snow tires IS NOT the same thing. So test driving a car for 10 days informed my of how the car runs on average and when snow came in January the Encore handled great with the AWD. Four months owning my Buick Encore Essence now and very happy. It is small on the inside, about the same cubic storage dimensions as a Subaru Impreza Wagon but the off ground height is also what I wanted in my next car. It has great head room, leg room and the leather seats are ALL leather and stitched great, not pleather or 'leather trimmed'. Back seats can squeeze 3 adults but 2 adults for comfort, same beautiful leather seats in back. Soft touch materials, nice dash, nothing flashy but more classic and understated. I added OEM chrome side body molding and chrome wind deflector as well as custom rain guards. Now my car is my own. The aluminum painted grey wheels are awesome too. Very happy!

Going to buy a car from a dealership is dreadful, or so I thought. Royal Automotive altered my perception of car sales; Royal Automotive showed me what car sales should be at all dealerships. Previous dealerships I have worked with fall short in comparison to Royal Automotive. First, let me start by saying that Chase Murphy did not hesitate to treat me the way that I want to be treated as a consumer. Chase did not hesitate to tell me what the appraisal value was for my car, nor did he hesitate to tell me what the bottom line price was for the vehicle I was interested in. Depending on the dealership, acquiring these two numbers can be like pulling teeth from a child who has not been sedated. Second, Chase Murphy appraised my vehicle $2,000 more than the dealership that I elected not to do business with. I know the value of my trade in before I even step foot in the dealership, So I already knew that the previous dealership appraised my vehicle $1500 below the minimum price they could have appraised my vehicle for. However, Chase gave me the maximum amount I could have received for my vehicle; by doing this, Chase immediately built trust very early on in the sales process. It was at this point, I knew I would finalize the deal with Royal Automotive. Third, not once during the sale did I feel like information was being withheld from me, nor did I feel like I was being lied to, nor did I feel like I was being ripped off. I felt confident about my salesperson (Chase Murphy), I felt confident with the Manager who helped with the deal (Micah Murphy), and I feel confident to do business with Royal Automotive the next time I need a vehicle. I'd also like to give a shout out to David Thomas who offered a helping hand on several occasions with my 2 year old daughter and my 11 month old daughter, even though he was not involved in the sale. This was just icing on the cake to make us all feel like we were at home. Lastly, I am not one to usually leave a review, whether it be positive or negative; however, the service with Royal Automotive was so exceptional that I felt compelled, no obligated, to leave a review. Royal Automotive embodies honesty and integrity, and they are one of the few dealerships left that still conducts business ethically. Royal Automotive will do what they can to maximize your trade in, and they will work with you in finding a vehicle that is suitable for you and your family. Honestly, I am astonished at the service I received from Royal Automotive. I'd like to end this review with a statement that Micah Murphy made to me in response to my satisfaction: "I just want to sell cars in the same way I would like to buy a car." Listen, if you are looking to by a car. check out inventory on Royal Automotive, and if they have a car you are interested in, then give them a chance. I promise, you will not be disappointed.

The car met all of my needs. I like everything about it. It runs exactly as it performed during the test drive. The car is in very good shape both outside and the way it runs.

I always use this dealership for my service work.. they’re always very friendly and prompt. Clean lobby area for waiting. The dealership lot and service area can be a bit congested to get around in at times.

Roomy, comfortable. Good on gas. Fully loaded. No complaints. Luxury slot of amenities, extras. Only thing missing is an owners manual. R e a l l y

My experience at Hendrick Dodge was amazing & awesome. The guys that help me were Michael, Mike, and Chandler. They were so caring, understanding, productive, and professional. They work together to make sure my needs & wants were their first priority. I left Hendricks with what I needed and wanted. They work to make sure you are completely satisfied and happy. On a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 been the best, they are a 10+. They are like the "A" team the A is for action -working to make you happy, accepting the challenges to make you happy, & affirming that you are happy with the action they have performed for you. Again thank you for everything.😁😊😄

I was drawn to the Buick Encore for it's smaller size for handling, but design with lots of room inside. The car has comfort and the turbo 4 cyl. gives it enough power and good gas mileage. I have had Buicks in the past and never been disappointed.

Matt and the team at Royal were absolutely great to work with. I found the specific SUV I was looking for online one morning this summer (2016 Chevy Tahoe). I sent an e-mail to Royal letting them know that I was interested in the car. Within an hour, Matt called me (before the dealership even opened that day) to talk to me about the vehicle. By the early afternoon, we finalized the terms of the purchase, including the financing - all of which was done over the phone and e-mail. Since I was an out-of-town customer, I left that afternoon to test drive and purchase the vehicle. When I arrived (30 minutes before closing) Matt and Micah were there to answer any questions I had about the vehicle and the financing. The car was inspected, cleaned, and ready to go when I arrived. It was as advertised and really exceeded my expectations in terms of its condition. I was off the dealership and heading back home within 90 minutes. Following the purchase, Matt continued to follow up with me when I had questions about the car and my out-of-state title / registering process. In all, this was a great car buying experience, and I would definitely recommend Royal to others.

We are so happy with this vehicle. My husband is fourteen inches taller than me, and we can both drive comfortably. The Enclave shifts smoothly and there is plenty of interior room for passengers to ride comfortably as well transporting luggage. It handles well in snow and is very stable on the highway. We wanted a reliable full size SUV that drives great, rides smooth, and fits in the garage. Buick covered all the bases.

This is my second vehicle purchased from Vroom in the last 12 months, and I can't imagine ever buying a used car from a brick-and-mortar dealership again. Vroom offers a terrific selection of late model used vehicles. The pictures really make it easy to know what the car looks like. I purchased a 2015 BMW 5-series, and the Vroom price compared to a similar make/model/mileage vehicle from CarMax was $3,000+ cheaper. I selected my vehicle over a few weeks of looking at photos. I filled out a credit application online, and they immediately called me to finalize the app, discuss rates and payments, and to get my $500 deposit. I received a loan package via FedEx 2 days later, signed all the paperwork, and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope they provided. About 3 days later, I started getting emails to schedule delivery. The process only took 9 business days from the moment I made the deposit to the moment I got my vehicle. The vehicle was clean, just as described, and runs great. Now I just need to get a state inspection and add this to my insurance policy, and the tags will be mailed to me in a few weeks. Thankfully, Vroom gives me a 60-day temp tag so there is ample time to receive the plates. This is the future of car-buying, and the 7-day money back guarantee makes it the perfect way to purchase a used vehicle.

Great small SUV with all the latest in technology. I get great gas mileage 38 on the highway and around 32 combined. Has adequate pickup; Buick sales rep told me about Trifecta performance tuning which livened up the vehicle. (optional aftermarket engine trans tuning software)

I am a car enthusiast! I spend way too much on cars ??? but I work 24/7 and it???s my only hobby. This review will be a bit on the long side, simply because I have so much to say about my experience with Vroom. My wife gets frustrated with me because I talk so often about how amazed I am with Vroom in every aspect! I bought my first car in 1968. Back then I couldn???t afford much, but since about 1979 I???ve purchased some very cool cars. I even bought a brand new Rolls Royce back in 1985. I???ve owned: exactly 10 Mercedes, Jaguar, Ferrari, Audi R8, BMW, Range Rover and several others. So when it comes to dealing with car dealerships, I feel like I???ve become rather expert ??? AND a huge skeptic of car dealerships!!! When you buy a high-end car, you lose SOOO MUCH money, as soon as you drive it off the showroom floor. So the last time we purchased cars, we decided to purchase nearly-new cars with very low mileage on them. We bought an Audi R8 and a Mercedes SL63. And it turned out GREAT. No regrets. So now it was time to sell those cars and buy two more. I happened across Vroom.com in my Internet search, and found the perfect cars for both my wife and I at the same place ??? Vroom.com. The cars are nearly identical to the same cars we???ve been driving, but just newer. A 2014 Audi R8 and a 2014 SL63 ??? both with about 3,500 miles on them. Even the same colors as our previous cars. I got bids from several companies to sell our cars to. Vroom offered the highest amounts on both of our cars!! And it was FAR easier to sell to them than any other company. Unbelievably simple! And the prices for the newer 2014 cars was extremely fair. I flew out from South Orange County, California to Vroom to look at and drive both cars. Vroom picked me up at the airport and brought me back to the airport. I was extremely impressed with Vroom and their showroom. And without exception, every single person I???ve spoken with and dealt with at Vroom has been not only helpful and enthusiastic, but GENUINELY concerned about making me happy. Even after the sale they keep contacting me to see how I???m doing and to ask if there???s anything that I need. They got me great financing! Less than 3% interest rate. I had no clue that you could do that with a ???used??? car. No other buying or trade-in experience I???ve ever had comes even close to how great, simple and fast this was. Oh???and they shipped the cars from Texas to us at NO CHARGE, and picked up our two cars at the same time. And the nice young man who delivered the cars was fabulous. He was so very, very careful with our cars. And not only do they have their guarantee ??? I believe you have a week or so to drive the car, and if you don???t like it, they will take the car back. They even told me several times (even after I???d purchased the cars) that if for some reason we decided we did not want the cars, they would come pick them up and truck them back to Texas at NO COST to use. Unbelievable!! Well, my wife is now also so impressed that she no longer is frustrated with me for talking about Vroom so much, and telling all my friends. In fact, I???ve already asked Vroom to look for a car for my daughter. I now would not think of getting her car anywhere else than Vroom. I mentioned before that I???m a skeptic when it comes to car salesmen and dealerships. So if I was you reading this, the first thing I???d wonder is, ???Why is this guy writing this review? Are they paying him???..???? Well, I don???t know any of the people at Vroom. I spent so much time on this review simply because I believe that when people deserve credit, and they treat you so nicely, you should reciprocate and sing their praises. My name is Dr. Rod Kurthy. I???m a dentist and I own a dental products company in Southern California.

My vehicle is a nice size suv. Not too small -- not too big. The interior is spacious. It is a lot easier to get in and out of.

I was referred to Texas Direct Auto/Vroom by a good friend and I???m glad I decided to go with them for my car purchase! I initially got Billie as my car sales personnel, but she seemed to be very pushy and just aiming to make quick sale; which is something that made me very uncomfortable. After speaking with her for a while I advised I would give her a call back to speak with my financial advisor on proceeding further on this process with Vroom. When I called back I got a different agent that saw in the system that saw I was talking to Billie and advised me that she would give me a call back in 5 mins, well 30 mins passed and I called back upset because I did not hear back from her after she ran my credit and didn???t like the fact I wasn???t trying to put 2500 down. My credit score was excellent I had a 740, but I didn???t have enough credit history she said is the reason why she kept asking me to put so much money down on 23k 24k car. The last time I called upset after not hearing anything from her a gentleman by the name of Shannon Humbles answered and I advised him that I did not want to work with Billie anymore because she made me feel very uncomfortable and I felt like she didn???t personally care about helping me through the process of the purchase. Shannon is an ALLSTAR!! He went over and beyond the call of duty to help me make this purchase!!! 7 days later my vehicle sits in my parking garage and I love it! The process was so easy to purchase, I had to put 1500 which is the standard, instead of 2800 that???s Billie was demanding that I put down! Please go with Vroom! I saw a couple bad reviews and I know every process has its flaws, but I???m here to tell you, they work! They are a very good company and I look forward to making another purchase with them for my girlfriend???s Christmas gift! Thanks Shannon and Vroom!!!!

This SUV runs great, has pick up power, is comfortable , great gas mileage, looks cas! Everything like brand new! I love 💕 this SUV! Selling because I am just too old to drive anymore.😞 (I’m 93 yrs old) This car need an owner to drive her, has just over 2,000 original miles and manufacturer warranties go with the car!!

I will say that I was a bit apprehensive after reading some negative reviews; but due to the volume that this dealer ships out, I can only assume that poor experiences are a small percentage of their business practice. I visited Vroom???s website in the evening and decided to purchase my wife a Cadillac SRX. Within minutes I received a call from a sales rep. Within an hour of that initial call, he collected my $500 ???hold fee??? that was later applied to my down payment. The following day, my sales rep called to inform me that financing was secured, even with blemished credit. (Required an additional $600 down payment which I had wire transferred). 3 days later, I received my contract via FedEx, completed it, and shipped it back. Once they received and reviewed, I was sent an email with an expected delivery date. From start to finish, the entire process took 10 days, and we received a used Cadillac SRX in EXCELLENT condition. The interior was spotless. The exterior needed a wash, but it was understandable because the car was shipped from Texas to Florida. I have already recommended this service to others, and will likely use them again. *Car does come with a 60 day temp tag, and I have not heard back from Vroom about acquiring my actual registration and plate. - However, I believe that I still have a couple of weeks left on the current tag.

Traded in my small truck for this small SUV so far its an improvements on fuel consumption, slightly higher monthly payments than my 2016 Colorado, still getting used to the vehicle, its comfortable, but I am missing having heated seats, perhaps one day I'll add in that option ;) Looking forward to taking it for a few road trips, have an average commute of 100km per day.

Vroom personnel were thoroughly professional and I received great value in my trade and new car. I took my car to the local dealer for a through inspection upon free delivery. (Vroom offers a 7 day free return policy.) The BMW service manager told me my 2015 X3 Xdrive28i was in such good shape, it would qualify as a certified per-owned on their lot. I easily could have paid $3K more for the car than I did from Vroom.

The Buick Envision is a good car. Easy to drive. Quite ride not much road noise. Plenty of room for a midsize SUV. One problem I have is a vibration in the transmission at speeds 36 thru 39 mph. Service tech at dealership told me it was no problem. Just accelerate thru the vibration mph and it goes away. When I drive it in low gear shifting thru the 6 gears the vibration is minimal or non-existent. In D drive it seems to be getting worse. Will be going to dealership for service soon. Will again bring up vibration problem. Other than that I enjoy driving the vehicle.

I'm just going to talke about the only thing that was really BAD. My target time for delivery was 6am - 8am. My car showed up at 8PM. Hard to check it out in dark. I took the day off. And since it came so LATE that I had to call in sick the next day. (I get up at 3am for work) And the drivers door emblem was missing. Delivery drive said I had to prove it to him, that one was there when I nought th car, witch I did. He said there company would send me one. Yea RIGHT!!!

I love the heated leather seats and that it gets 30+ miles per gallon. The digital speedometer and alert system are awesome bonuses as well. But the amount of buttons on the dash is very confusing at first, it does take some time to figure out what does what.

This is a great car that is very luxurious and comfortable and gets great gas mileage and can comfortably ride up to 6 people. This is a perfect luxury automobile!

We hada 2018 Nissan Murano- Joe concerned with public and customer safety the second yime had the sales team resolve the deal upon hearing us at the second time we brought the car to his service department.,Bruno Reichert and Terence Corprew took over and resolved the deal on the malfunctioing Murano concerned for our safety and our deal......these men reflect the examples that any customer wants to experience in vehicle tribulations I glad I chose to buy a Veichle from their dealership, mark I beleive was the manager who took the at first late on a sunday afternoon 14 Oct,2014 it stayed with a nossan dealer three weeks same problem sufaced less than aweek after returning to our use We. agreed with the dealer to exchange the vehicles......hats off to Driver's Way.

This SUV is exactly what I wanted and it meets everything I need it to. Passenger capacity of seven with plenty of leg room and still plenty of storage in the rear.

This was by far the best car buying experience I've witnessed ever PERIOD. Jason Green was and is above and beyond his position. From Jason's 1st email response to handing me the keys was attention and attentive to detail, customer care and concierge service. I'm a first time customer of EAW ..and I live in New Jersey. After countering on price back and forth ..Jason/ EAW team and I agreed on a price that was a good fit for both parties. Jason then took and emailed a detailed video of the vehicle which showed perfect detail and flaws to assure my commitment and deposit. I then proceeded to purchase a 1-way American Airline ticket, and planned to drive the vehicle back to NJ (14hrs/ 1000mls). Jason had an UBER ready to receive me at the airport and drop me at a Marriott ..mind you my plane did not land until after mid-night 12:40am to be exact ..he periodically text/ chk-in with me until I was in my hotel-rm 1:30am. Later that morning 10am Jason had another Uber ready to take me from the hotel to EAW. Arriving at EAW I was pleasantly surprised. Very large, clean and organized facility ..estimate over 200 vehicles ..and they all look hand picked. There was no surprise to my vehicle ..course having viewed the video prior ..Jason threw me the keys and said take it for a spin, I drove it and check it over 20min car was just as I expected ..came back sat and wrapped up paper work 10min then on the road headed for NJ. Over the 14hrs+/ 1000 miles the car performed beautifully. Jason is not a car salesman but an Executive Auto dealer - he will be highly recommended by myself and have all my future auto purchasing business. Thank you Jason Green 'brother' and EAW-Team !! Jay Mann, New Jersey

Comfortable for all passengers front and rear,, easy to drive, love the blind spot warning via the alerts in mirrors, lots of power and great fuel mileage around town and on the open road.

We went to the Driver's way on Hwy 280, looking at a particular Tundra, 3 times. I was considering buying a brand new Tundra but my husband talked me into stopping to at one he saw in the lot at Driver's Way. Kirk happened to be the sales guy and was so helpful. He was never pushy. He let me look in whichever truck I wanted to out there, and I'm sure would have let me drive any of them too. I only drove one but he just stood back, let me look, however long I wanted, throughout 3 different visits. The new dealerships were very hard to get in touch with. We did find a nice gentleman at Hoover Toyota but decided he was not working for us. I tried to message Limbaugh and all I got was an email, telling me he had great news and it was very important that I call him right away. How about I messaged you? Why can't you communicate in the same fashion? I was so frustrated with the new dealerships and Kirk was simply so pleasant. That was a huge reason I went with Driver's Way and bought a gently used vehicle rather than a new one. We bought it on a Saturday so their detail guy was not there. I probably wouldn't have thought of it, but Kirk insisted he owes me a car wash and to bring it in the next week for a car wash and vacuum. Perhaps I can update this review after I do that. Definitely, ask for Kirk when you go in there. He was the best kind of sales person. NOT PUSHY! (Can you tell I hate pushy?!!) He was also able to answer all my questions or knew how to quickly find an answer. He was aware of and relayed info such as now you have to actually have insurance on the vehicle you are registering before you go to the DMV office and don't be surprised when I go to get the tag because Driver's way doesn't charge city tax but we will end up paying it and the DMV. He was really helpful all around.

This car has exceeded all of my dreams for a new car. It is beautiful, quiet, has a comfortable ride and was a good bargain.

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

This car meets all my needs! Roomy, holds lots of cargo and has a great and comfy ride! Love this car so much, I will be buying my 3rd Encore in 2020!

I've been trying to get my 2015 Equinox to 16k miles in order to get an oil change. Well, I finally did it! I called Gary, (I'm so sorry Gary!) who set me up with Scott for an oil change along with a tire rotation. I drove in at 8:15, was taken right away. Thank you Scott for always being courteous and pleasant. After about 40-45 minutes, I was signing my paperwork and on my way. I have a Goodyear less than 2 miles from my house, but I will always drive to Edward's Chevrolet downtown to get the service I do here! Thank you Marty, thank you Gary and thank you Scott, you guys ROCK!

This car was an excellent transition vehicle from my Lincoln MKT. if you want luxury without the luxury price then this is the car you.

The car had all the options I wanted: the color of car, Bose sound system, sunroof, and the turbo power, color of interior and the spacious seating area.

I really appreciate the service I received from Courtesy Buick. I'm going through a difficult time right now and they understood and treated my situation with care. The Customer Service is Awesome!!!!!! Every time I'm there it's always a Welcoming Smile.

600 miles into ownership and very happy with our purchase. The car is very quiet, rides very smoothly, and is very easy to drive. So far, we are averaging better than 30 mpg in combined driving. The kids (16 & 8 years old) tell me the backseat is much more roomy than mom's SUV. The only thing I don't like at this point is the Auto-Stop feature, which is currently not able to be bypassed or otherwise shut off

I think the engineer was paid to save money on the front seat. Very uncomfortable. My dealer is doing everything they can to make front seat comfortable not GM .
