I am located in Western Massachusetts and I was in the market for a very specific vehicle for a fledgling home business, a Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (CVPI used police car). After an extensive search I ran across J&M Affordable Auto who happen to have a 2009 CVPI for sale. I made an inquiry via the Internet and was contacted the next day by the General Manager Patrick. I spoke to Patrick that first time for about 30 minutes. During that conversation Patrick was very informative, patient, and cordial. Patrick answered all the questions I had about the vehicle and the no haggle price that was being asked. Based on my extensive research of the Ford CVPI I was comfortable that the asking price was well within the retail value for the vehicle. I told Patrick I was very interested and would look into financing. Patrick never became pushy, high pressure, or requested a down payment to hold the vehicle. I contacted Patrick several days later and told him I wanted to purchase the vehicle. Patrick explained everything I would need to complete the transaction and emailed me all necessary paperwork. During this time I requested Patrick send me a video of the interior of the car and of the engine running, as i was going to buy the vehicle on patricks word, sight unseen, and with no test drive! After some technical difficulty Patrick went above and beyond to complete my request. My bank also required a copy of the tittle which Patrick was quick to provide. After receiving financing the payment was overnighted via USPS. After a somewhat tense day of waiting for USPS to come through, Patrick notified me as soon as the check arrived. All paperwork was completed by Patrick who made it extremely easy and convenient. Once completed the vehicle needed to be transported to me 1250 miles north to Massachusetts. All arrangements were made via the dealership and a very helpful employee named Connie. I cannot emphasize enough how appreciative I am for the assistance in shipping. Connie found a reputable carrier who required no money upfront, was extremely reasonable in price, very fast, and a pleasure to deal with. Anyone who has even looked into shipping a vehicle will know what an amazing nightmare this can become. When the car arrived it was in the exact condition as described by Patrick. The vehicle is amazingly clean! The interior and engine compartment are spotless, this is incredible considering this use to be a Florida county sheriff vehicle with 106600 miles on it! The engine runs and sounds great, seems to shift correctly, came with almost brand new tires, a fresh oil change, all fluids at correct fill marks, and again a full and complete detailing. The defects found on the vehicle are all what you would expect to find on a used police vehicle with 106000 miles on the odometer. Some paint scratches, scuffs and chips. A couple seaping transmission leaks that do not appear to affect driveability or fluid level. All in all the vehicle seems to be very sound and in good condition. My experience with Patrick and the dealership have been great. I bought a vehicle for a great price in far better shape than vehicles in my area for the same price or more. Patrick and Connie were a joy to deal with and very helpful throughout the entire transaction. Being 1250 miles away Patrick could have easily taken advantage of the situation and missled me on the condition of the vehicle. I highly recommend J&M Affordable Auto to anyone looking to purchase a used vehicle from a friendly and honest dealership. Thank you Patrick and Connie.

I purchased a vehicle from J&M over four years ago and I am still driving it today. Before I purchased the vehicle I had test drove it and it had a slight vibration. I reported this to them and they promptly sent the vehicle to a repair shop to have the problem diagnosed and fixed. Later, I came back to the lot and verified the vibration was fixed and even seen the repair shop work order in the glove-box. Ultimately, I made the decision to buy the vehicle and the purchase process was a pleasure. I bought the vehicle at a more than fair price and the whole process took less than 20 minutes. I would recommend J&M Affordable Auto to anyone in the market for an affordable used vehicle. They even provide access to a CARFAX Vehicle History Report on every vehicle they sell on their lot. I think people need to keep in mind that there is always a risk in buying a used vehicle and no dealership could ever guarantee the vehicle you purchased would remain free of problems for any period of time. I would definitely consider buying another vehicle from them in the future.

I purchased a car here last week. The 2nd day I had the car the engine light came on when I got on the toll road. I took it to my mechanic and he said the engine had been overfilled with oil and the pressure blew out the seals causing a massive oil leak. He recommends a new engine because this engine is completely ruined now. I called Mike several times and he wont even return my calls to even talk to me about it. Not even man enough to return my call, hiding behind his wife/office manager. Save yourself a lot of trouble. These are auction cars and they dont even inspect them properly before trying to resell them to the public. Youd be better off playing the lottery than shopping here.

Fanciest lemon stand in town. After I bought a car there that I was assured had been worked on thoroughly, here I am a month an half later (I barely drive my car beyond the grocery store, ever) and after pouring almost an additional grand into it it still doesnt run. I tried to discuss this with the owner and was told "too bad, its typical wear and tear" after I had put a supposed 300 miles on it. At first I considered I was being unfair, but read other reviews online and found much of the same. Lemons, lemons, and more lemons. If you want a reliable car, go elsewhere. If you want a very expensive piece of yard art, look no further!

I bought a van from this shoddy outfit and I wish I had never stepped foot on the J and M Lemon Lot. Mike sold it to me and said hed stand behind it as a fellow veteran if anything went wrong. I called him several weeks later and reported that he had sold me a van with a bad automatic transmission. He refused to honor his word and stopped returning my phone calls and e-mails. I sued him in Lake County Small Claims Court and won. He owes me $1750 that I paid to have the transmission rebuilt. I have a judgement lien against him and will move to garner his wages soon. I recommend you do NOT conduct business with this establishment.

Wonderful service here and always pleasant to visit. I have purchased 4 cars through J&M for myself and for my family, it is the place I always recommend due to the standard they hold themselves to as well as truly having the cleanest cars in Lake County. They work with you to make sure you have the car that YOU want not pressuring you into buying "the flavor of the month." They conduct themselves accordingly and always have a wide selection to choose from, each of them being inspected by a local mechanic that I know and trust. Cant wait to purchase vehicle number 5!
