Best car purchase I’ve had

Review of 696 Cars by Chris Shipe · March 2, 2025

5/5

I usually dread buying a car, but this was genuinely a pleasant experience. I came in with a few questions about a used SUV and was given direct answers without a rehearsed sales pitch. The staff let me check the interior, cargo space, tires, and controls at my own pace, then suggested a test-drive route with both local streets and faster traffic. When I was ready to talk numbers, everything was laid out clearly and the payment stayed within the range we discussed. The vehicle was washed and ready when promised. I’ve already recommended 696 Cars to a coworker because the whole transaction felt honest, calm, and well organized.

    Good car, long wait

    I’m happy with the crossover I bought and everyone treated me well. The only drawback was waiting nearly an hour for the paperwork to get started, but the rest of the process was smooth.

    Friendly and straightforward

    I bought a used sedan here and had a really positive experience. The staff listened to my budget, showed me options that actually fit it, and never pushed me toward something more expensive. My car was cleaned up nicely before pickup, and the paperwork was explained clearly. I’d gladly shop here again.

    Solid overall

    I’m pleased with my car, but the paperwork took longer than necessary.

    Great buying experience

    I found the SUV I wanted, received a fair trade offer, and drove home without any unnecessary pressure or hassle.
