I have bought vehicles from Lanny for years now. I've paid for all 3 of them in full. They all have lasted at least 3 or more years. Lanny is a wonderful person and because of him and the cars he ha I've paid for all 3 of them in full. They all have lasted at least 3 or more years. Lanny is a wonderful person and because of him and the cars he has sold me I'm about to buy another one if he has something I want and the price is right. I hate seeing the negative remarks about his business because I know from experience it's just not true based on my experience of buying 3 cars from him already. More
Crappy Auto Sales Selling dangerous junk cars that should never be put on the road...don't risk your life buying from Continental! I'd give the car con artist at Co Selling dangerous junk cars that should never be put on the road...don't risk your life buying from Continental! I'd give the car con artist at Continental zero stars if I could. Sold me a Chrysler that broke down with total engine failure just 30 minutes after purchase. Was stranded on a busy highway...the tow truck driver admitted he towed alot of junk cars from Continental and said he would not buy anything off their lot. Lanny preyed on me being a single mom and promised a reliable car (I told him my special needs child required alot of doctor visits and a reliable car was a must!). He refused to refund my money and tried to sell me a much more expensive junk car. I test drove this car and it was pulling strongly to the right and seriously could not drive straight. After filing a series of complaints, Continental promised to fix the engine. The car did get up and running only to immediately need more repairs, including tie rods. The car never ran normally and required further engine diagnostics and repair, which caused severe financial hardship. Run from this dealer ... you'd do better running than driving anything off this lot. More

I've purchased sev I've been a patron of this dealership for over 30 years. Its a used car dealership. My daughter bought her first car there in 1996. I've purchased several vehicles from Continental in the last several years. My son has purshased several vehicles also. They were flexible and generous with financing. These are used cars. Most priced under 2000 bucks!. They're always honest about condition of vehicles. In fact I'm heading over to check one out right now. More

I knew the owner from years ago. I was in desperate need of a vehicle and I thought that he would be the one to help me in my time of need. I was unemployed and close to being homeless. I took my last 900 d of a vehicle and I thought that he would be the one to help me in my time of need. I was unemployed and close to being homeless. I took my last 900 dollars and asked him to sale me a vehicle for about $1500. I came back a few days later and gave him another $500 from the sale of my other vehicle. I told him that I needed it to be in fairly good condition. I didn't want to spend a lot of money in repairs because I didn't have the money. He took me for a test drive in a 18 yr old vehicle on a straight road. He talked me into buying the vehicle for $3286. While driving home I found out that there was a lot play in the steering, a lot of knocking from underneath due to the need of ball joint shocks and struts and bad rack and pinion. I begged him to put me something that was safe enough to ride children in because I often ride children to and from church. I just found out buy his brother that he charged me $1000 more than the list price and even the list price was about $800 to $1000) above what the vehicle sales for. I had paid my bill of $108 dollars faithfully and was never late and always paid in full. I asked him almost 3 months ago if he would forgive the debt because I could no longer drive the vehicle because of the condition. I had a mechanic look at the vehicle and he told me that the vehicle was to dangerous to drive and that it was dangerous when I bought it (He explains preexisting conditions like ABS deterioration of components, rack and pinion completely shot shock and struts needed to be replace.) The mechanic stopped writing a list of things that need to be repaired because the cost was too much. He stopped at around $2300.This did not include replacement of the brake system. He said tht would forgive my debt and never did and it is now a negative mark on my credit report. Both him and Secure Auto Loan who financed me , THEY ARE BOTH LIARS AND CHEATERS. He lied and he cheated a women who was already having a hard time in life. And Secure Auto kept passing me around like I was a foot ball when ever I would call to address the issue. I learned a valuable lesson. Know the character of the person you are going to give your money to. Do your research before you give your hard earn money. More
