*Attention* The owner is trying to use false reviews to raise his businesses rating. If you look at the majority of positive reviews on here, they are ether from the Gilbert family, or they are fake accounts with only 1 review. This just goes to show further that the Gilbert ownership, and thus by extension the company is corrupt to the core.
I'm making this review a bit late but from what I'm hearing nothing has changed about this place since my transaction back in 2013 so I'm going to go ahead and post my thoughts.
And my thoughts are that the owner of this car lot is a crook.. I bought a 1996 Chrysler Town and Country for $1,000 and it ended up being an absolute lemon. 6 months and three breakdowns later I end up sending this van to the junkyard. The owner of this car lot also told me that he could get the $1,000 out of it for scrap, this turned out to be a lie as I only got $200 out of it. Since this was my first car purchase ever I lacked the experience to see this lemon coming.
On breakdown number one the ECM failed completely, had to spend $200 to replace it. On breakdown number two the fuel pump quit, that was a $400 repair Bill to fix. On breakdown number 3 the engine had lost so much power that it was unable to climb a hill. Never found out what the cause was because I sent it to the junkyard at that point. I should also note that all three of these breakdowns occurred within a hundred miles of each other. I haven't bought anything else from here since then, and will never buy anything from this car lot again and will warn everyone that I meet to stay away from here.

Absolute trash! Bought a Mazda 2 with a rebuilt title, they claimed that it was misfiring on cylinder 1, and we tested it and bought it with cash. They didn't have $60 to give us change and had to cut us a check. We brought it home, and gave it to our daughter for her 16th birthday present. $3K down the drain!
The very next day my husband took the car to pick up our daughter from school and a CHUNK of the engine blew off of it! I had to get it towed to Madisonville to a shop where they told us the ENTIRE ENGINE needed to be swapped for a NEW one!
Advance Auto in Madisonville is highly skilled and very well trusted our family mechanic for a long time now!
The Gilberts KNOWINGLY sold us a lemon for $3K! I thought it was fishy when they had us sign all the legal documents before we left to get the cash from our bank in Owensboro and our lunch. There is NO possible way they didn't know what was wrong with this engine, as they TOLD us that they rebuilt the car! We were told it had minor cosmetic damage that rendered it totaled, and they got it repaired like new. It looked great, and aside from the "cylinder 1 misfire" (which if that were true all it would need is a tune up) the car looked and acted fine, but my husband and I are not mechanics, like these two scam artists claim to be!
NOT 24 HOURS after buying our car from them a CHUNK came off the engine!
My mechanic shared these photos with me of the "patch" work after the Gilbert's "fixed" it. The radiator had been broken from the frame and not fixed, the bumper was glued on rather than them buying a new clip, and the frame had non-factory welds behind the bumper on the car frame.
Not to mention that the gaping hole "cylinder 1" made because the Piston was completely broken, and now we can see daylight through the bottom of the engine assembly.
