Looking at a vehicle that is located at Clement Preowned. Anyone familiar with this dealership and are they worth dealing with?????

https://clementpreowned.com/

I live about an hour away but unfortunately don’t have any first hand experience with that dealership. I did do a quick internet search of that dealership and reviews and it wasn’t much to write home about. Based on reviews alone, I’d personally look elsewhere.

What specifically are you looking for?

Black, I'm in South County. Florissant is in North County. But I don't know anything about Clement Preowned.

If they are a decent enough place to try to business with especially considering I am 300+ miles away.
I asked them for photos of the undercarriage of the vehicle I am interested in. I wrote in the note to email me as it’s not easy for me to take phone calls at work. They have called like 10 times. I finally got a chance to answer the call fella spoke horrible English and said I am putting you to the sales manager for a video call.
He started transferring me before I could let him know I don’t have the capabilities for a video call. The number he transferred me to no one ever answered.

The vehicle I am looking at looks great in the pictures and the Carfax checks out. The color combo of the vehicle is really nice and I have yet to come across another one like it in my searches.

Sorry, meant what specific vehicle.

That makes sense too
2021 GMC Yukon XL Denali

Here are 2 Yukon Denali XL models at 2 different dealers in the STL area for comparison:

Dave Sinclair GMC

Sapaugh

Sapaugh also has a few more models, but at a higher price.

Personally, I’d be more comfortable using either of these dealers vs Clement. Although it’s been some time, my current truck was bought at Sapaugh.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I have no connection to St Louis and really do not want to drive 300+ to get a car.
But that Color combo, dark blue, black wheels, black interior, with the dark badges is glorious!!!!
I have been browsing for a couple of months now. That is the first I have seen in that combo and would be willing to drive to get it but also don’t want to deal with some crappy dealer.
That’s the best looking one I have come across.

Probably some more in that combo out there but mileage, price and close enough to my area I have not seen one.

All I know about them is they play a ton of annoying ads on the radio. They also recently opened a new used car dealership in St. Charles (west across the Missouri river from the Florissant location).

Looked at the ad you posted, but it wasn't clear to me at which store this is actually located. They might be about 25-30 miles apart if it matters.

Do a Google Maps street view and check out the neighborhood.

Clement is just a big conglomerate that came in a few years ago and bought up tons of dealerships. The CDJR dealership by my house was bought by them and most of the same people work there.


As far as that dealer specifically I can tell you that it’s not in a very good neighborhood. It’s about 15 minutes north of Ferguson. The good thing is it appears that the car got most of its oil changes in St.Charles and then Chesterfield so the owner probably didn’t live in the area where the truck is now being sold.

St.Charles has been a massive expansion area for years with a lot of young families and Chesterfield is typically a more upscale area. Both are considered far out from the St. Louis which would explain 17k miles per year. Probably mostly highway miles though.

I did a quick Google search in auto trader and even Ebay for that vehicle in that color combo and package and yes, you are right, that is a rare animal.

Shoot, 300 hundred miles is what? A six or seven hour drive? I've driven a lot further than that for a hard to find vehicle. That price seems fair but those discounts looked like a couple thousand was based on a trade in. You didn't say that was what you were planning on doing.

I'd be all over that like white on rice. Just make sure that vehicle is still there. I kind of doubt they will take more pictures but that would not be a deal killer for me. It looks like a fairly large used car dealership from their video. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Clement is a multi store dealer group, they have 7 locations, new and used stores. Ford, 2 -Chrysler Jeep Ram stores, Hyundai, the Pre-Owned store and a used supercenter.

So you're not buying from a single point used car dealer if that helps.

Make sure you tell them to apply your $5k DOGE check to the purchase.

My local market for gently used full size SUVs is minimal.
You want a white, black, or silver, base model for $2,500 more than it should be you are covered.
So I have to expand my look pretty well. Central Indiana has a ton and where a couple others I am looking at are.

But the one at Clement is by far the best looking.

We’ll be trading in our Suburban.

I know the owner and several of his people. I'm not so sure I know anybody at that particular location.

I'll be that way later today if you wanted me to stop by and get any information/photos for you. I wouldn't be so sure they would have that at that location. I'd bet it's at one of their new car locations.

If you happen to be in the area and can get some undercarriage shots that would be appreciated.
GMs like to rust rather quickly. Want as little rust as possible as we get lots of snow and ice here.
Need to start with as little as possible.

However don’t go out of your way. But we are certainly interested just want to make sure it is in really good condition if I am going to drive 300+ miles.

The link says it is the Highway 67 location. As to that accuracy I can’t speak.

Actually in Florissant, which is one of the more relatively safer areas in the area, including St. Charles area, which is just 20 miles west of Ferguson.

Can't tell you much about the dealership, though they do have several new and used super stores in the area. They seem to be trying to break into the St. Louis "Mafia Family" Car Dealership game (Bommarito, Lou Fusz, Weber, Butler, etc).

It’s at their Saint Charles preowned center. I’m going to stop by today on the way out to get some photos for you.

Added: I have the photos. If you google Zykan Safe shoot a text to that number, it will
Forward to me, and I’ll reply with the pics.
