We were definitely nervous about going to a used car

We were definitely nervous about going to a used car dealership, but David was great. He was patient with us as we thoroughly inspected the van we eventually purchased, really fair with the price, efficient with the paperwork, and even surprised us by paying for the car's next year of registration. We've had the van for a few months now and have driven it on two road trips (600 and 2500 miles, respectively) with no problems!

Kia is romantic

I love to drive it. I was looking to purchase a nice used car to use it for my family, searched a lot but my friend propose the Kia 2021 Rio and now I like it too much.

2012 Kia Rio LX review

Good commuter

Has all the features I really wanted (usb, aux, multiple charge ports, manual transmission) and none of the ones I was ambivalent on (powered windows, power locks). Can’t comment on reliability yet as I’ve only had it for 1 month. Has a lot of power at highway speeds while getting excellent fuel economy (~40mpg). It could be better straight out the gate.

Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murfreesboro review

Demon', Jimmy, and Bubba were fantastic in assisting my client with his new Hummer 3X! Demon' helped with securing the vehicle and the delivery process and made sure everything went smooth. Jimmy and Bubba understood the importance of our client's time and made sure there were no hiccups throughout the delivery. Thank you to everyone involved!

2012 Kia Rio LX review

Drives smooth and rounds turns beautifully.

I liked the features of USB ports and aux. Really liked the feature of how many more miles to drive before needing fuel. Easy to see over dash and backing up.

Central Florida Toyota review

My experience with Gabriel Muniz was great.

My experience with Gabriel Muniz was great. He was a pleasure to work with in my purchase of a certified used 2025 Toyota Camry. He helped me narrow down my options and get to a monthly payment that worked for me. I highly recommend working with Gabriel if you stop by Central Florida Toyota.
