Can anyone list a few places where I can buy a car at a good prize around the Fort Hood (Texas) area?

Question

I am moving there in about a month from now and I really do not want to get jibbed when I purchase a vehicle there. Thank you.

Answer 1

After buying two cars from the Killeen area, my new rule is to go outside of the area to buy (and if I'd known better, I wouldn't have bought the two that I did).  My personal opinion is that some of the dealerships take advantage of the soldiers around here, but the main reason to shop around is that the prices are nearly ALWAYS higher.  My folks were looking at a program Toyota minivan and ended up getting a MUCH better deal on the exact same model (but BRAND NEW) by going down to Toyota of Round Rock.  My suggestion is to go to Round Rock or Austin...avoid the Killeen / Ft. Hood area if you can.  Don Hewlett in Round Rock is a good place to start.

[ If you have to shop Killeen, here's my personal experience:  Avoid AutoMax at all costs if you can.  Patriot GMC was good to me, but again the price was a little high if I didn't have my supplier's discount.  Connell Chevy / Dodge Country / Freedom Jeep Chrysler alway come across with that used car salesman vibe...which is why my last car came from Don Ringler Chevy in Temple...they were Ok, but I probably wouldn't go back there, either.  I haven't had many dealings with the Honda or Toyota dealers other than knowing they have the higher prices, so I can't say much on those. ]
