Used Buick for Sale in Bloomington, IL

I stopped by the lot to eat lunch at the "Healthy in a Hurry" food truck(if you haven't tried it you should...amazing tacos!). On my way out I literally rolled down my window and gave a salesman my card and let him know I was in the market for a Yukom XL or a Suburban. I gave him some details and limitations and the rest was easy. Scotty sent me info on everything they had in there inventory everywhere right away. I didn't see anything I liked out of the gate. 3 to 4 weeks later he got a trade in that I liked. My work/life schedule didn't allow me to spend a day or two at the lot dealing with the normal car-buying experience. Scotty made the deal happen. He worked with his manager and my banker. We basically made it happen via text and email. I showed up the day I took delivery and spent 45 minutes in the dealership. Absolutely the best and most enjoyable car buying experience. I hate buying vehicles but this was very very different from any other experience. I highly recommend Scotty and his crew.

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.

My wife and I were interested in a new GMC vehicle. Asked for Jon Reed upon arrival, since we had talked with him about 1 1/2 yrs ago on a Cadillac vehicle. Jon was very personable and helpful as we had remembered in past. He brought several vehicles up for us to view. We asked for a test drive of a 2019 Acadia AWD Denali. Jon explained the features of the new vehicle and rode with us on the test drive. He went through all of the possible discounts involved and came up with a price with which we were in agreement. He was very efficient with all of the paperwork involved. On October 12th, I returned to the dealership, paid for the vehicle and visited with the final paperwork person to secure license plates, etc. (He was extremely efficient an helpful as well!). John gave us a tour of the service department area and explained procedures. He got into the new GMC with me and covered all of the features. He even paired my phone (and offered to pair my wife's phone next time in). Extremely satisfied with the whole experience! When we get ready to trade again, we will be asking for Jon Reed!

We love this Enclave! Just returning from a road trip and it was smooth, gas average was great and it has all the electronic needs for us and the grandkids! Thanks Buick and McKaig!!

My wife and I came in with the hopes of trading in an old vehicle and upgrading to a 2015 Chevy Equinox. The experience we had at Barker Motors and with Jon Reed was awesome from start to finish. Jon didn't try to push us into making a deal. We simply told him where we want to be financially and he gave us some options. We really appreciated having some actual estimated numbers to work with. Once we decided to make the purchase, Jon was more than accommodating. He got the car to the dealership within 24 hours so we could check it out. There were a couple things under warranty that needed to be fixed and the service dept. had the parts there within a week. I dropped the car off at 7:30am on my way to work, they gave me a ride to work, and it was ready for pickup at 3:30pm. All in all, less than two weeks after purchase and everything they said they'd do for us, they did. We couldn't be happier with the purchase, service, and price. Kudos to Jon, the Service Dept., and Barker Motors for making this process a pleasurable experience. Would recommend and will be back when we need to upgrade again! -Paul and Laura, Normal

I'm 6'1" tall and I have found this car to be very comfortable for my size. Handles well in all weather and has a sleek appearance. It has also proven to be very reliable.

I bought my GMC Yukon Denali December 28th, 2017 and we were leaving for a trip to AZ the very next day. Kori Parker did a great job of explaining everything new to me since I was coming from a different brand and model. Kori's explanation of everything fairly new to me was especially helpful since we were leaving the next day. Jon Reed also helped me when I went back the next day for additional questions. We really like this vehicle, drove it 3800 miles the next 2 1/2 weeks and very satisfied with the ride and the technology. I've always had a great experience at Barkers.

driver seat terrible hard on hips i am thin and still hurts the hard sides to hold up the seat apolstery seat selection is weird

My husband and I were beyond pleased with our new vehicle purchase. Kevin Burlin was our Sales Associate and he worked with us to make sure our needs were met. Kevin took the time to tell us the pros and cons of each vehicle we discussed. We walked out of Sam Leman with a 2017 Chevy Equinox and we could not be more pleased with the choice we made. Kevin is patient, friendly and the thing we like about him the most is he is not pushy. Kevin has a good working relationship with his sales manager and together they get the job done. I would purchase another vehicle with Kevin's assistance if I was in the market for a nice car at the right price.

This car has more leg room than I have had before. The ride is very smooth and has plenty of pick up and go. Very classy vehicle, good mpg as well. Turbo is a plus.

My wife Ginny went on a excursion looking for a replacement for our used car and ventured onto the Barker lot and was greeted by a very nice gentleman, Scotty. She made her feel welcome and with no pressure showed her an amazing used suv that she fell in love with and he let her bring it home for ne to see. I was impressed and so we made the ride back with the eventual trade-in. To my surprise Scotty made it simple and worth our time and his to make sure this suv was what we could use and afford so we went about the buying process that totally painless and was done in a very professional way. Everyone at the dealership was very outgoing and especially Matt the finance dude got us thru and out in a very quick moment so we could enjoy our new purchase. Scotty even put a 1/2 tank of gas in the car and he didn't have to so that was the icing on the cake. Thank you Scotty! I can't wait to tell my son Scottie that we bought a car from his name sake! We will be back to do more business with Barker and Scotty if he stays around for the future..Greg and Ginny

This car has lots of room and very nice styling. It has power and runs smoothly. We bought it used with 28,000 miles. It runs like a dream.

I was 100 miles from home when my fuel pump went out they took care of me and I'm looking to travel back and buy a suv from them

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

I've purchased many new cars in my life , but this experience , hands down was THEE BEST !!!! JAKE,ANDY and NIK are ALL TOP SHELF and should be commended on their professionalism and commitment . Their customer satisfaction and service are second to NONE !!!!!!! Don't let the small town deter you from your car buying experience , I felt more like a friend than a number !!!! I could not think of a better dealership moniker than THE GOOD GUYS as they are known by !!!!!!!! Thanx Thanx Thanx is all I can say !!! I cannot wait for my next vehicle purchase !!!!!white 2017 Silverado duramax ltz

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)

An outstanding experience! They drove me 40 + miles round trip to return my rental unit and when I told them I had cousins in the area to see when the transaction was done the expedited the process all the while making certain I understood things and took the time to be sure I was comfortable with the deal. In 46 years of purchasing vehicles I have not been involved with a better situation than what Highway Chevrolet Buick GMC provided.

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!

Very friendly and fixed my car! I took it over 10 times to another dealership and they weren't able to fix it. Baums fixed it the first time!

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

We recently had to buy a newer car. We previously purchased a van from Douglas Dodge in Nov of 2015, so there was no question where we wanted to go to for our next vehicle. We worked with Dave Larue both times and we couldn't be more pleased! We have two outstanding vehicles that Dave sold to us and it was the best car buying experience each time! We highly recommend going to Douglas and working with Dave and the staff there!

This car met all my needs. AWD, Comfort. easy to get jn and out of, etc. Choose white and very elegant looking. Gas mileage is good for size of car.

Searched nationally for the perfect Fiat Spider 124 at a value price. Came across Douglas Dodge in Clinton, Illinois while sitting in the comfort of my Minnesota home (with snow still on the ground in April but thinking convertible anyway!). The car I was looking for is not easy to find. There were about 20 possibilities at dealerships throughout the country. I contacted Douglas Dodge and was fortunate to have been assigned a veteran sales pro there named Dave Lareau. He made my nervousness of maybe buying a car sight unseen in another state ease quickly. Dave was great and went so far as to pick me up at my hotel about 25 miles away so I could get to the dealership. Car was ready, pristine, gassed up and ready for me to drive it back to Minnesota. Dave got his atlas out and showed me how to get to the "river route". I spent the day putting my new little convertible sports car through the twisting turns along the Mississippi and just beat sundown as I pulled into my garage in Minnesota. Thanks so much to Dave and his team for making my car buying experience a memorable and enjoyable one. I also own Jeeps...and who knows...I might make the trip down again when its time to change those out since Douglas Dodge has quite an inventory of Wranglers, and since I am sure Dave will still be there.

I was in accident in my Buick and didn't get hurt. so i went and bought another one. Its a nice drive and a good to take on a road trip.

Shopping for a ‘new’ used car can be fun or stressful. Plan on spending time on this because it is a lot of money spent in the end. Bob was the Internet salesperson we dealt with. He was friendly and went out of his way to assist us. He was busy with another family searching for the perfect car match too. He let us take a test drive by ourselves. He gave us alone time to confer. When the looking and buying process was taking a long time, he recommended a place to eat. Yummy! In the end, the paper work was accomplished efficiently. We drove home with our new used vehicle and were pleased with the process. Thanks!

We replaced our 2014 Enclave with a 2019 Enclave. The upgrades fit everything we were looking for. Very satisfied with our choice. Would recommend this dealer

I don't do reviews but I felt I needed to for Lighthouse. This was an absolutely shocking experience for any company these days much less a dealership. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was incredibly customer focused and some of the friendliest people I've dealt with. No games, no hassle, the actual deal probably took 5 minutes. Even though they were busy Keith and Shanin worked late to get us out the door with the truck since we drove a couple of hours to get there. Fair pricing all around and good people to work with. Do yourself a favor, go see Keith Edelman and get yourself a good deal on a clean vehicle with someone you actually will be glad to do business with.

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 .

Lighthouse always provides top notch customer service. I had two additional issues that the service group was able to address.

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.

There are few things people dislike more than buying a car. I recently purchased a used car from Dane Zellar at Lighthouse Buick/GMC for my daughter and the experience was so unlike any other I feel compelled to share it. This is not your father's corporate auto dealership. 1. While this is not a no haggle dealership, the negotiation process was very straightforward, no games, no high pressure tactics; and we settled on a price in about five minutes. 2. Rule number one in buying a used car is have it inspected by an independent mechanic. I live an hour away from the dealership, but they had no problem letting me take the car to my home town mechanic. Then, as per our agreement, they handled the items identified by my mechanic without a hassle. 3. The entire staff is obviously well trained on taking care of the customer. 4. It is apparent the ownership values their staff because, the entire place is spotless (even the service department) and everyone seems thrilled to be working there. It's the type of leadership that generates mutual loyalty between the owner, the staff and the customer because the way they operate everyone wins. 5. After the sale, we received a set of insulated coffee tumblers, a delicious cinnamon bread mailed to our home and finally a high-quality calendar with a photo of my daughter posing with her "new" car plus a couple of letters reminding us to let them know if anything needs attention. This strategy of customer engagement is not cheap, but it is very effective in making a lasting positive impression. 6. While I was waiting at the dealership for the service department to do its work I made a point of watching as other customers were going through the car buying process. Based on what I saw my experience was not unique. Everyone was getting the same level and style of service I received. 7. The service department was quick, efficient and with the sales manager present they showed me exactly what they did on the car. 8. It's doing the little things, the fundamentals, right that counts. This dealership not only does the fundamentals right, they excel. Collectively, these observations make it clear this dealership believes investing in its employees and its customers is the way to sustainable profitability. If you are looking for a car I encourage you to contact Dane Zeller, Sales Manager at Lighthouse Buick/GMC.

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.

Today I signed the papers for my second lease with Mike Murphy Ford after meeting several times with Anthony Davis. Throughout both interactions (2015 and 2018), Anthony was professional, helpful, and encouraging: but NOT pressuring me to make a decision. For comparative purposes, I talked with two other local Ford dealers after my initial meeting with Anthony in early January 2018. The first sales person at Dealer #1 was - in a word - obnoxious, presenting the idea that anyone would be privileged to work with him. The second person (Dealer #2) was more professional; but after I met with him for two hours and given him a written list of questions I needed to have answered in order for me to make a decision, did not respond for more than 5 days. In that e-mail, he only addressed half of what I had asked. I sent him another e-mail containing the questions, and received no response. Anthony was very patient, answering all of my many questions in a timely manner; and did not pressure me to spend more than I can afford. It has been a pleasure to work with him.

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!

We bought a 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid from Mike Murphy Ford. Jimmy was our sales person. He was very nice, no pressure. When I first called about the car, he disclosed two minor blemishes (wheel and trim piece by the bottom of the door) that the dealership was going to repair. They did excellent work and made it look great. When we received the car from detailing, it had a significant scratch on the roof, no fault of the dealership's. We called Jimmy and he made it right, no questions asked. We are currently waiting to get the car back, but they have made a big hassle very easy to deal with. Thanks for that. Fully recommend the dealership and Jimmy!

This car has everything I need. I have two growing granddaughters. We can fill this car up and still have room for their car seats.

Nick Reece provided very professional, friendly and helpful service in our purchase of our new F150. We left feeling we got more than we paid for, because we did. We took advantage of several Ford and personal discounts, i.e., Ford military veteran discount, 3 Ford rebates plus Ford Financing rebate which Mike Murphy and his staff helped us use. Also learned Mike Murphy is very clear and concise with extended warrantees, which we purchased for the first time ever. Nick Reece demonstrated that he is very knowledgeable and efficient in his job and helped us get approved for some good discounts which we were seeking. He knew we were coming in because we had called and had the F150 all ready to test drive and greeted us as we walked in the door. Absolutely no waiting. We'll be back and will recommend Mike Murphy Ford, even to our 4 children who are all in their 20's and will probably be making their 1st new car purchases in the future. Todd Brekke took care of our financing and other paperwork in a very timely, efficient manner and had good informative answers for all our questions. The entire purchase was complete and we drove the truck home in a short afternoon visit after lunch, about 2.5 hours, lock, stock and barrel. And we got to talk with Mike Murphy too. FIVE STARS!!!

Great car with turbo Drove in snow and handled very well. Turbo gives car great boost and speed I would recommend to friend and I have had fun driving it

So what's it like to buy a car and never actually go to the dealership ? Well with the internet and quality sales representatives like Brian Moldenhauer , the car I picked out was delivered directly to my door and the paperwork was done in a few minutes at my house. Thank you Brian for making it so enjoyable.

This SUV met all of our needs, The legroom is amazing,the quite ride plus all the features this SUV has, very satisfied with this purchase.
