What clients say about Village Motors in South Lebanon (OH)
Beware of this car lot sold my husband a just that lasted 3 days transmission issues brake issues and only offered a discount on parts why should he have to pay several hundred dollars for parts on a vehicle? He’s not even put 100 miles on and has had less than three days my advice. Everyone is to be careful and be aware of this dealership.
I took my 18 year old yo buy a car from them and they were extremely easy to work with they answered all her 100 questions. They also helped cause when we started the car she was looking at the battery was junk so basically they went over and above to assist us with the cha ging the old one out n helped purchase and put in the new battery. When I say over and above they went and picked up a new battery from auto zone brought it to the lot. These guys know what they are doing n I would recommend to anyone looking for a used car. Yeah I see alot reviews people mad. But u get what u get when u buy as is vehicles. We was pleased as 2 females walking into car lot. They helped us out got her in her car and on the road. So thanks again. It's family run business 2 brothers and Dad. And I have a feeling if we need anything else we will be back. Great used cars. Check em out if you need a car.
This place was so cool. The people who work here are really sweet and nice. They waited for me to arrive even tho I was coming right before they closed. I even referred my friend to come check them out. Really nice people
Just bought a 2011 jeep patriot with just under 90000 miles for 4k from the lot on 10/01/2025. After putting under 600 miles on the vehicle I've already had to replace the throttle body assembly on the car, no biggie, it was $1000 to have that replaced but I figured that would be where the problems would end. I was wrong. I now have oil leaking into the ecu on the vehicle and that is gonna cost me another 2-4k to get it fixed to be road safe. Not sure if they knew about these problems prior or not, but i will never buy a car from here again, its not worth it with the possibility that they're selling these cars knowing said issues. The man who sold me the vehicle seemed honest enough so I can't say with certainty. But this is where my business with Village Motors ends.
Edit : ALSO they will tell you that you cannot test drive it if you dont have insurance, this is false, in ohio dealerships are required to have their vehicles insured for test driving and dealer driving. Im starting to believe they knew of the issues from the start.
Definitely worth shopping with he’s very reliable and works with you also told me all about the car thanks for the service I will be shopping again for a car here.
****Update for more inormation since they're lying about the price****
I paid $1570.00 out the door NOT under $1400.00. I've bought cars for half that with more miles that ran better than this. I'm so happy you have the time to sit and argue with people who leave negative reviews instead of trying sell decent reliable cars to hard working people. I stand on this.
I would leave negative stars if I could. I can not wait to hear your bs excuse on my complaint. You guys are the epitiminy of a lemon dealership. You remind me of Matildas father in the movie where he gets cars running long enough to move them off the lot then fains innocence. I bought my car from this junk yard because that's what it is in early April 2025. Right off the rip I have problems with my headlights not working. My fault for not checking before I left the lot and unlike them, I take accountability on my behalf for missing that. However these fine gentlemen charge me $40 to look at the car to tell me they will charge me $150 to fix the lights and I can drop the car off on Friday. On my way down there I run out of gas because to my my shock and surprise the gas gauge is broken! I also inform them of this and they tell me to fill up every 200 miles. Right there is just wow. I had a letter drawn up stating that I should not be charged because lights are a safety issue NOT cosmetic and they put me in a car with 45 day tags knowing it was unsafe to drive. Did they respond? Well of course not!
Now let's get to the fun part. Here we are in late August 2025 and I have been without a car since it broke down in July 2025. So let's do the math. They sold me the car in early April 2025 and by July 2025 it's broke down. So I paid $500 a month for 3 months to drive this car. They didn't even bother to clean out the car before they sold it to me either. That's another story for another day. Back to present. Since July 2025 to present I have spent $700 trying to get this POS car to run and today I find out now the water pump is bad. I have replaced:
1) radiator
2) fuel pump
3) fuel filter
4) throttle body
5) spark plugs and wires
6) battery
And the car is still not working properly. To throw some more sprinkles into this pos of a car there is now a short somewhere that has completely drained my brand new battery.
The best advice I can give anyone and I should have listened to these reviews before I went there is to run NOT walk, RUN away from this place as fast as you can unless you want to be stranded in a POS car that they will take no responsibility for.
Let's be honest, you guys saw me coming a mile away. I'm disgusted and appalled at the fact I have spent so much time and money on this car. You guys knew it had problems, but it's all about money.
The car in question? 2001 Chevy Impala if you're wondering and you knew it was a POS before I bought it. So thank you for wasting my time and my money. Anyone looking for a car should avoid this place. I wouldn't send my worst enemy here and that speaks volumes!
I wasn't going to leave a review but after all the time and money and tears and stress that I've put into this car and it broke down again today! After I have driven it TWICE since July 2025. I'm at my wits end. If I can stop someone from going through what I am, then I owe someone this post.
This car lot is a joke and a ripp off and so unprofessional idk how there still in business and they lie about there price's so make sure y'all read the fine fine print and keep tabs on ur payments because you miss one 75 dollar payment they talk to you like your the worst ever and will come get ur car whatever y'all do DO NOT GET RIPPED OFF BY THESE GUYS BECAUSE I PROMISE YOU .YOU WILL I've got got on 3 cars and everybody I've recommended to them was not happy with me at all
Very professional staff the costomer service is so good you would think your at Porsche no pressure at all test drove 3 vehicles they had the next one ready for us when we got back and very upfront about all of their vehicles they don’t try to hide anything they got my mom into a nice little crv super quick and easy I’ll be back when my brother is looking for his first car
Absolutely amazing experience. I’m so happy with my car. Their sales team were exceptionally professional and helpful as well. I’ve made so many bad decisions, but this wasn’t one of them!
This place is very respectful and friendly, helped with all my questions and is great for a first time buyer like myself while not knowing much . Thank you all!
Very terrible buy here pay here cars. All cars they sell are on the verge to be in the junkyard. Overpriced and terrible service. Go anywhere else but here!! I had learned the hard way by buying a car here and it set me back terribly.
Worst place to ever purchase a car from can’t trust sketchy shady people cars aren’t great and the people definitely are horrible save your money and go else where you’ll thank me later
This place is great! They went above and beyond for me, all my issues were resolved the same day. Kind and trustworthy people! I would trust them with all of my car needs.
I had a good experience with this car lot. I bought a 2004 Ford escape with about 170,000 miles on it and payed about $3,500 which still runs to this day and now sits at 205,000 miles. I purchased it about a year and a half ago and haven't even had to put a new battery in it. The only thing it needed when I purchased it was tires but thats to be expected when only spending $3,500 at a buy here pay here. There also vary upfront about the fact that this isn't a perfect car car lot. You get what you pay. I would recommend this car lot as a first car car lot or a hard times car lot. The young men working the sales are quite informative and helpful as well as they let you test drive all there vehicles. 4 stars because this isn't a steak restaurant more of a chicken and fries type of joint. I just mean it's not on the high end of car lots but for a buy here pay here it's as nice as it gets.👍💪
I love my car I have a red Impala an she drives very good an never had an issue with these guys an they very nice an a great place to get your first car I do recommend them,❤️❤️❤️❤️
I spoke too soon had the car two transmission is blown waiting to see how they handle the situation or if they will. Update. Don't buy anything from these con artist not a good business model when you make your living off down payments and sell completely trash cars go anywhere else or you will loose your down payment on car and it will break down two days later and blame you for it breaking when they bandaid all the junk yard specials
If I could give negative 10 stars I would! I put a down payment on a car that I needed for work. On the way home (not even 3 hours later) all the lights on the dash went out as did the headlights and all exterior lights. I understand it is a used car and there will be issues. But now I am unable to get a hold of them and they will not return my calls/text. And I am out of the 400 deposit I made. I will be getting an attorney involved in this matter.
