Just recently purchased a Nissan Kicks at the
Just recently purchased a Nissan Kicks at the Independence CarMax, we had previously purchased a Nissan Sentra {about 2 weeks prior) but we found it eventually getting into the vehicle difficult for the age as I am getting older (seventies in my case) the Kicks we have now is a wonderful vehicle. Rick Gross was our salesperson. He did a wonderful job explaining every aspect of our purchase. Matthew and Sharon handle the financial side of our purchase and also was clear on 30-day refund policy and purchase of our Kicks. I would highly recommend this CarMax in Independence; they took time to give us peace of mind on our new Nissan Kicks.
Highly recommend buying a used 2018 Explorer
This is my fourth Explorer. I decided in 2018 to order the top-of-the-line Platinum. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles for a person that wants the luxury of one of Fords top models. It has Platinum leather seats that are very comfortable. If you can find today, buy it. It has the 3.5L V6 that has great power on acceleration. You can only buy a V6 now on the 2025 Explorer ST which is a 3.0L. The cost is around $60,000 Loaded.

Working with Scott and his team at Victory Hyundai was an overall great experience in the purchase of our new Tuscan SUV. We felt comfortable and greeted with a smile as we came through the door. We really appreciated that Scott was extremely personable, knowledgeable, friendly, and honest without a high-pressure sales approach. Along with great incentives and an over the top warranty package, we couldn’t ask for a better deal from any other car dealership. We look forward to using their maintenance service and highly recommend working with the Victory team.
3rd row seat folding mechanism
Love this car overall but I have only one complaint. I was putting some boxes in the rear of the car and one of the boxes must have touched the the rear seat folding mechanism as all of a sudden it tried to unfold the seats. If my grandchildren had been sitting there strapped in I hate to think what may have happened!! Wish you had coverage over the mechanism so this wouldn’t happen.

Excellent service great cars. Got a super low price on my new 2020 Hyundai Hybrid
My dream car
This is my 4th Ford Explorer over the last 20 years and I am very happy. Every time I upgrade is nicer in every aspect. I am glad that after so many people telling me to just go to another style and company, I made the right decision.

I just purchased a car from Jeremy Franklin and he did I have purchased six cars and my name is Samuel E Bailey and so I just purchased a 2023 Nissan Altima and if you need a vehicle, I would say come to these guys cause they will definitely help you They above all of the dealerships can get you in and a great late model car with no money down, I’m talking to 23. This vehicle has 30,000 miles. If you need a vehicle go see Jesse Hart at Jeremy Franklin thank you.
Very good car, durable and trustworthy
Love the inside room, 3rd row seat and the fact that the 2nd and 3rd row can be collapsed. Love the rear camera and all of the functions of being able to bring my phone apps up on the screen. So good for our very busy, on the go lifestyle

Straight forward & honest, that is more than I had come to expect from used car dealers in general. If a friend was used car shopping I would tell them to check out JKB Auto. The entire staff was friendly and fun!

We would highly recommend Clark Hewitt. He kept us up to date on the arrival of our new Bronco and it’s exactly what we wanted. He is a very knowledgeable and personable salesperson and you’ll get to meet his dog Rocco if you work with him. 😊🦮
