Review

I live in the US Virgin Islands and decided to buy a car in the states to save money. I found a 2006 Jeep Liberty online that I loved, and spoke and emailed back and forth with Chris several times before traveling to NC to see it. I made an appointment and although I was late I was greeted by Chris who had the car parked out front with the tags on it ready for me to test drive. He was extremely helpful, strait forward and honest and he even stayed open late to accommodate me. All of the paperwork was ready and the whole transaction took less than three hours. They not only paid for the car to be shipped to Miami, they handled the paperwork and check in at the container port. I was slightly hesitant about buying a car and shipping it without driving it for a while, so after I bought it they let me drive it around NC for a week and have it checked out by my mechanic (who said it was in excellent condition). I left with the vehicle with the exact price that it was advertised (about $3000 below KBB) and saved $800 on shipping! For those of you who are hesitant about the bad reviews online, I want to say that I had an amazing experience at Steve White Motors. Chris and Jack (manager) exceeded my expectations and I will defiantly buy my next car from them.
