Murphy Motors Next To New

I have purchased two cars from this company and both have had significant problems with them. Even after several trips to a reputable service shop, (they dont do work @ murphy motors), the problems still persist. All have had check engine lights on and i was told that it was just a bad o2 sensor and it should be be no big deal to fix and that they would get it fixed if i'd like. My first mistake was trusting their sales staff to get the problem fixed as they will fix it but as cheaply and poorly as possible without the problem going away. This store sells mostly junk cars with some having a shady past. I test drove an older model jeep grand cherokee with again a check engine light on and noticed a huge oil leak coming from the engine block, major work required. I pointed this out to the salesman after coming back from the drive and he looked as though this was a brand new problem. Two days later I noticed the same car riding around town with a sold sticker in the window and immediately felt sorry for the guy who bought the piece of junk as a I know that the level of work required to fix that car would have taken a good week or two to fix correctly. Please before even thinking about going here check EVERYWHERE else first and have an independent mechanic look over the vehicle your considering purchasing thoroughly. Also run a Carfax report too. If all else fails wait till another dealer has the car you want. Avoid murphy motors!!

This place has a widely varying selection which turns over on a frequent basis. Their sales help is good, they will let you take a vehicle on a test drive with no problems, even for several hours. The prices seem a little high, but I didn't try and bicker them down either, so maybe they come down significantly once you try to buy.
