I can honestly say that I've never had a more pleasant car buying experience than I had with Mark at Mark Weinstein Motors! His cars are priced fairly, well maintained and in great condition and I love the Mazda I purchased from him. As far as the dealer himself goes, Mark was understanding, patient, knowledgeable and funny. This dealership is a little slice of Old Austin mentality and I'd do business there first next time I am shopping for a new car. Thanks Mark!

I've always got anxiety when going to dealerships as I feel pressured and pushed into situations I'm unsure of because they want a quick sell. This is the first Dealer I have ever felt so comfortable & welcomed by! Mark was so sweet and patient with me. He even walked me through every process and step; gave me recommendations but didn't pressure me with anything.
I even had to take a day to make a decision because I was stuck between two cars and he was so understanding and gave me some tips on which one would be easier to approve through a bank but he didn't make me feel shutdown about either of the cars, leaving me the chance to decide which one I wanted more instead of pressuring me to go with a certain car.
Mark is an independent dealer and gives really good prices, so keep that in mind before trying to haggle the price of a car. He won't haggle you, so don't haggle him Thank you Mark for my new car! I love it!

I purchased a truck from Mark today. It was very well priced. Mark made it extremely easy and fast and explained everything in detail. I can honestly tell you I felt very comfortable working with Mark and will recommend Mark Weinstein Motors to all my family and friends as well as anyone else looking to purchase a vehicle. Thank you Mark for your honesty and integrity.

Long review, but worth a read! I would strongly urge all future customers to take extra time making a decision on a vehicle and actually taking it to a certified mechanic to have it checked out before hand. That will likely ensure you save $$$$'s Here's my story. Our initial experience was positive, but quickly turned into a nightmare situation when the check engine light appeared before the check cleared.
We were informed by a certified mechanic that the motor had a crack in one of the cylinders and needed to be replaced. I recognize that used-cars cars are sold as-is in Texas, but I also thought he would feel some compassion towards a client having to spend over $5k days after purchasing a vehicle from him. We are not expecting him to cover the entire cost of the repairs, but just to see if there was anything he could offer to soften the blow.
I kept Mark informed along the way and we had a good conversation, but hasn't reached back after our phone conversation last week. He did half-heartedly mention the warranty, but we weren't interested based on the car-fax and cleanliness of the vehicle. There were no obvious issues, but that was wrong. Moving forward we would recommend to use extra time in making a decision when purchasing a used vehicle from a non-dealership.

Highly recommend you buy your next car from Mark if you get the chance. What he may lack in volume and size, he more than makes up for in the car buying experience. One of only a few times I've left a car dealership and didn't feel like I needed to take a shower to wash all the sleeze off. And while Mark does the paperwork, make sure you ask him about his history. Local legend!

I had the pleasure of purchasing a like new Honda Odyssey from Mark and I will never buy another vehicle from another person now! Mark is fair, kind, patient, friendly and most importantly he is honest. He provides the most "no pressure" experience I have ever had. He let us take our time looking over the van, told us to take all the time we needed to test drive it and then got us in and out when we purchased it.
No need for haggling or sitting all day listening to a sleazy salesman, nope, doing business with Mark is like visiting with a friend. He walks you through the whole process, explains everything easily and then gets you driving off in your new vehicle. Best part is I have no buyers remorse and feel totally at peace after buying from Mark. We'll be returning when it's time to buy our 17yr old her first car.

I'll make it short but sweet, Mr. Mark's ability to make his customers feel satisfied with their decision is exceptional! He gave us enough time to think and never stress us out, unlike other car dealers/sales agents. He has good selections of used cars in great condition. We are very satisfied with our 2010 Lexus RX 350, thanks to Mr. Mark!

A few weeks ago I found a Prius V that Mark had listed on Craigslist and scheduled a time to look at it the next day. I immediately felt how trustworthy he is and the care he puts in to his business. This was my first ever car purchase and Mark was not only incredibly kind and patient with all my questions, he also explained many details of the process that other dealers might expect you to know outright.
As a young person making a big financial step in life, I was so grateful to have the best of both worlds--the knowledge and professionalism of a dealer with the kind and honest approach of a local business/individual. On top of all this, the car was impeccably clean and had a long history posted on Carfax so I felt like I was in the know of the car's past. It's very clear that Mark picks his inventory with a trained eye & assesses them well. This is a relief because it took the pressure off of me as the buyer. Buying a car can feel daunting but you can put your trust Mark!

Mark is a breath of fresh air in the car sales world! I looked for months for a new (used) vehicle, purchased many carfax reports, researched and test drove, spoke with many sales individuals, and sacrificed many hours to the negotiation waiting games with the sales managers. During one of my daily searches on Auto Trader a new listing popped up for Mark Weinstein Motors.
It was a "unicorn" vehicle - rare in existence - an older model, incredibly low mileage, in fantastic shape (barely driven) and the listed price was in the KBB green price range (either good or great price for the vehicle's value). I reached out to Mark, who was quick to answer any and all my questions. I was in Houston and I couldn't make the trip to Austin to see the vehicle until the weekend, but he graciously agreed to hold the vehicle for me without any downpayment once I had set an appointment for a third party inspection.
Despite receiving other inquiries about the vehicle, he held it for me for almost a week and even stayed a little late on Friday for my husband's and my arrival into town. The test drive and purchase process were smooth and straightforward. Mark explained everything thoroughly and even went the extra step of fixing the temporary paper license plate on top of an old metal plate to make it more secure. It's another example of Mark's great customer service.
Like his great communication from start to finish - phone calls and text messages were always answered promptly. He is good-natured and honest, which is hard to find in the car shopping business. I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle!

Mark took great care of me and sold me a very nice Honda Fit. My old car died on the way to Austin, so I needed to replace it and Mark made it happen. He got me on the road again. I am very grateful for his personal touch and how especially attentive he was to all my questions needs. If you need a car, Mark will get you set up. Highly recommended.

Got my car here at right around the beginning of the new year. Mark gave me a fair price and walked me through everything. Super nice guy and quality cars. I've had my 2004 Hyundai Elantra for about a month or two and it's been running great and hasn't had any issues whatsoever. I would highly recommend looking for your next car here. The selection is smaller, but the quality is better, and the prices are super fair.

While in Austin looking for a good deal on a used car, I Googled for used car dealers and found Mark Weinstein Motors. The name jumped out at me because I used to babysit a kid many, MANY moons ago, with the same name. I was curious. So, I gave him a call while sitting in the car waiting for my husband, who was looking at cars at a different dealership. Mr. Weinstein is a rare breed - an honest used car salesman!
I explained that we had come up for the day to look at some cars at an auction, but didn't find what we were looking for, and that we were at another dealership. I told him what we wanted, which was something very inexpensive that we could pay cash for, preferably a Honda Accord, Toyota Corolla or similar rice burner. He didn't have what we were seeking, but we had quite a nice chat about cars and things.
I even told him what dealership we were at, and he said that the dealer was a good guy. I can't tell you how relieved that made me, because we were sick of being lied to and we were nearly scammed twice in San Antonio. After spending quite a bit of time chewing the fat, my husband found what he wanted, so I thanked Mr. Weinstein and wrapped up our conversation.
Next time I'm in the market for good used car, I'm going to check Mark Weinstein Motors first. He really takes the time to select the best cars to sell, and doesn't try to "hard sell." Oh, one more thing. he was not the kid I babysat.

Bought my dream car (Honda S2000) and had an awesome experience buying from Mark. I drove 3.5 hours to buy this car, that's how confident I was in talking with Mark before making the trip. The car was exactly as advertised. If you have any doubt in the quality of his vehicles, DONT. He is very upfront and honest and I would have no problems buying again from. Thanks Mark!

The best car buying experience I've had. I spent weeks searching for a low mileage 4Runner at a reasonable price and Mark had it! Mark is super friendly, laid back, and knowledgeable on the cars in his lot. No need to stress when you go to his lot. Mark is very transparent about everything and had no problem with me sending out a mechanic to check out the car on his lot.
He has a lot of confidence in his cars, and for good reason. Mark emphasizes quality and it definitely shows when you look at his lot. If you're looking for a reliable car that won't cost an arm and a leg and you can't stand pushy sales-tactics, then Mark is your man!

I had an absolutely positive car buying experience working with Mark Weinstein himself at Mark Weinstein Motors. Mark provides detailed CarFax for his entire inventory, something not common among smaller dealerships-- great for piece of mind and knowing the complete history of any potential vehicle purchases. Although his lot is smaller, his inventory is nothing but quality used vehicles handpicked by Mark himself.
Mark completely eliminated all the negative stigmas one might associate with used car lots. In my personal opinion, I believe he has very competitive prices. He even went as far as helping me choose a way of financing my automotive loan through another local financial institution, as I was having troubles with my own bank (which resulted in me getting a tremendously low interest rate).
If you're in the market for a used vehicle, I would highly suggest taking a look at his inventory via his website and contacting him for an appointment. It is also worth noting that I got my vehicle fully inspected the day after I purchased it and had zero issues.

I had a decent experience buying a used vehicle earlier this year from Mark. He seems to downplay faults in a vehicle without making any price accommodation. He is not a big negotiator either as he explains in his lengthy monologue. He did everything to explain the process and it worked out smoothly. Despite the vehicle faults my new to me car is running fine.

I needed to find a replacement car for my son. We had been all over Austin, looking for a decent used car. Happened to be looking on Yelp one day and found Mr. Weinstein's ad. I couldn't believe some of the low mileage, great looking cars. Found the perfect Honda Accord coupe. We have now had the car for about 6 months. Couldn't be happier. Mark is a true professional. Very easy to work with. He has keen knack for finding great used cars. Look no further. You have arrived. Thanks. Mark.

I had an awesome experience buying my VW Passat from Mark. Every car on his lot seems to be in good condition and at a great value. You can tell he takes time to choose what he puts out on his lot. But I've got to say the best thing about Mark is that he is NOT pushy, at all. I will definitely be purchasing my family's next vehicle from Mark, and I would encourage you to do the same.

I bought my little 2011 Mazda 2 with 96K miles from Mark Weinstein in July 2016. (A side-note: See the review on 6/6/16 from Masahiro K.---that's the car I bought! Mark had told me that the former owner was a Japanese businessman who was going back to his country---there you go!) I live very near Mark's small dealership (on the corner of Burnet and North Loop) and I'd been eyeing the cute little car on my way to the bus-stop for a month or two before I finally started doing serious car research.
I did research on CarMax, etc., but nothing in my price range (under $8000) either looked as snappy as the Mazda 2 or got as good reliability reviews. And some of the Yelp reviews on other dealers that had cars I was interested in weren't quite stellar. After a couple of weeks of shopping around online, what I'd begun to think of as "my" car disappeared from Mark's lot!
I thought I'd missed out. Just in case, though, I finally gave Mark a call to find out what had happened to it. Turned out it was just temporarily sitting at a Mazda dealership up the road, but it was coming back soon. The day it got back, I did a test drive. Loved it. I then made an appointment with an independent mechanic to check it out the next weekend.
All good. Then came the "haggling." It wasn't really. I had a printout from Kelly Blue Book's website showing the price range for the car. Mark also had a Kelly price-range printout. He quoted one price within the range; I quoted something at a lower end of the range. We met at a price closer to mine than his. Very fair. As I mentioned above, my price range was pretty limited.
And I'd never bought a car on my own before, so to begin with I was a bit nervous and in the dark about the whole process. Mark assuaged all of my nervousness. Every aspect of the car shopping from my initial phone-call to the final title paperwork was handled smoothly, pleasantly, and professionally. I'm grateful for the good first-time experience.

Mark Weinstein treated my family and I with respect from the moment we arrived. He not only gave us a great deal, but he made sure we didn't pay for unnecessary things. I should also note that I've driven my new car back and forth between Oregon and Texas twice now with absolutely no issue. I LOVE my car! Thank you, Mr Weinstein!

I've owned probably 20 cars over the last 45 years, most of them bought used, and buying from Mark was the best car-buying experience I've ever had. He stocks only the best used cars available, stands behind them and is extremely helpful throughout the process. One of the things I appreciated most was how straightforward everything was, no up-selling, no pressure, no complicated negotiations, very fair prices, great advice and great follow-through.
Used car salesmen don't have the best reputation but Mark is that rare exception that you hope to find when you're shopping for a car. I'd give him more than five stars if that were possible.

Nice honest place to buy a car. Mark is straightforward and kind. He's not pushy and he's as nice to you if you're buying as if you're not. His lot isn't very big but you can tell he handpicks his inventory for the kind of stuff that appeals to folks, good quality cars in good shape but used so we can afford them. It was such a nice experience to spend time and end up purchasing from Mark Weinstein compared to the time I spent at the big dealerships. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

I HATE buying cars. I would much rather go to the dentist. Last week I spent the week at dealerships and playing the "shell game". I was looking for a specific car which is what lead me to Mark. The price was spot on as far as Edmunds goes and 2k less than what the dealerships had listed for basically the same car or even one a year older. Mark is the owner of this small lot.
He has about 20 cars at one time but I was VERY impressed with the quality. I bought a car with 50k miles and it looks, drives and smells like a new car. He only goes with the best for his lot. Mark is very easy going and his forms for the sale are very simple. My bank was pleased at how easy they were to read and understand. He was willing to stay late and accommodate me too. I doubt very few car sales end in hugs but this one did because he was such a pleasure to work with. He does not have financing but will work with your bank.

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. Sold me a junk trans am had a mechanic look at it and he said the messed with the battery so the check engine light wouldn't turn on when i test drove it. Which makes since due to the fact that it can on a few hours after i bought it. This place says they have many loyal customers this is not true just an employee writing the reviews. Save your money don't trust these guys go somewhere else.
