bought 2 great cars here for cheap 3/12/2011

Bought a 1995 ford escort from them with 60K on it, ended up driving until 225K, would have probably run longer if I had fixed the alternator. Also bought a grerat little Geo metro convertible with 100K for only $1000 - ran a few years very well, now needs some major repairs (a clutch and a radiator) but will probably run another 100K after getting these things fixed. Good place to buy a cheap car. The owner acknowledges that his used cars need work, but I feel he does his best to price stuff appropriately. If very cheap transportation is what you are after, this is the place. more

Bought TWO GREAT vehicles off this lot- hoping for a 3rd 4/20/2010

In 2005 we needed a very cheap vehicle FAST to carry on our daily duties. We ran up there- (it was close to our house) and asked what they could do for us. We only had $300... they worked with us- gave us a good running vehicle. Which we had paid off quickly. When we paid it off- we were able to SELL that vehicle independently, for $300 and we went right back to Premier. They gave us the most beautiful Chrysler Imeperial that was in pristine condition- you couldn't even tell the motor was on.. smooth, clean.. we would still have it today, no doubt, if it wasn't totalled. \r \r We are going back there withint he next 2 weeks to see what else we can find. We have dealt with several dealers in the area and have had several LEMONS since then- and we are ready to go back to the reliable place we know.\r \r Incidentally- my mom used to rent vehicles from here back when I was a child. They are reputable for sales and I dont' recall my mom having issues with rentals. I guess you need to take into account this is a used dealership - but I will be going back. Pros: Negotiable, personable, good location, decent vehicles Cons: it is a USED dealership- so whatever comes with that. more

CARS ARE JUNK!! 8/25/2009

Rented their green 12-passenger van for the week on a long road trip. Bad bad choice-we ended up bringing the car to a shop during our vacation and payed for another rental van for a day while their car was being repaired. They couldn't afford to pay for our one day rental, so we ended up being reimbursed upon returning the car. They were so cheap, they only did minimal repair to the car and didn't fix the issue. On top of that we still paid $500 for a junk car that was pushing 200K miles. Most importantly, we were afraid for our safety while on the road. If you want reliable cars-go to a well known rental agency and not this hole in the wall sorry place. Will never rent there again. Cons: Over priced, horrible green passenger van with 200k miles more

Older vehicles, high miles, not much cheaper 5/25/2008

I rented a van here. It was $20 a day cheaper than a name brand rental, but it was a 10 year old vehicle with a squeaky belt, 175k miles and overclaimed the fuel level a bit. Also 29 cents per mile over 100 miles per day made it not such a good deal. If I had it to do over again, I'd rent a new vehicle. \r It worked, but you get what you pay for. Pros: Close to downtown, was cheaper. Cons: Old vehicle, 100 mile limit per day. more

""USED"" car renting 8/7/2006

Cars were fairly new. The car that I rented had cold A/C and it took just minutes to fill out the rental contract. So, when Im back in town Ill use them again! Pros: Cheap rates more

Rent a Wreck - a real wreck. 7/25/2002

They only rent the autos they cant sell. Real junkers. And not that cheap. 25 cents a mile over 100 miles a day. Avoid if you can. Pros: Inexpensive (cheap) more
