Craig is like having a family member in the car
business. I was looking for a Ford police interceptor and stopped by his place
on a Wednesday evening. When I arrived he and his team were in the process of
running a fine tooth-n-comb over a 1999 model year candidate.
Craig, I've never written a testimonial before so bear with me.
I have been aware of Craig for several years through ebay and his website. After replacing my totaled '95 caprice (9C1, L99, 354,000 miles)with a CHERRY one owner '95 Roadmaster that I dearly love and am keeping, I still longed for the performance and feel of my old 9C1, so I called Craig and told him I was looking for an extra clean LT1. Confident from all his testimonials and his knowledge of these great cars, I purchased one after only seeing the one picture on his website and talking to Craig a couple of times to take care of my concerns. I flew up from Mesquite, Texas on Thursday Aug 30th; Craig picked me up in Albany and took me to his location. After assuring me of the steps he had taken to make the car pleasing to me, I went to the State office and changed the title and was on my way back to Texas by 4:30 the same afternoon. I arrived back in Texas Saturday Sept 1, in time to make the afternoon dove hunt. I travel all of Texas and part of 7 other states, I have put 15,000+ miles on this car in less than 3 months. I just changed the oil for the 5th time and it has not used a drop. Absolutely love this car and have nothing but praise for Craig's integrity. He and his personnel are a real credit to the "Used Auto Profession". I think it is a shame that the Executives at GM were so narrow minded to let this great car and engine combination come to such an early death. Thanks for your dedication to the 9C1 and LT1 and making it possible for so many others to be able to learn about and enjoy them. Thanks from a very Proud Texan for a GR8 experience. Ps have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Merry CHRISTmas Dwayne Stephens
I had been looking for a Caprice, and i knew i wanted one with
a 350
Thanks for the great car. I am very pleased with how smooth it is, and how
nicely it runs. It feels like driving a new car other than minor cosmetic
aging. It is a world of difference from my old vehicle. Craig is very easy
to deal with, very straight forward and honest about the condition of the cars
he's selling. I flew up to Albany airport where Craig picked me up in my new
car. Getting the "in transit" tag was no problem, and I drove 410 miles back
to Harpers Ferry WV with no problems. One big surprise though, Craig promised
low 20's miles per gallon, I got 26 on the way home! I was taking it pretty
easy most of the time but that is fantastic for such a big car! Thank you
again, the window tinting is excellent and the car is exactly what Key Motors
promises.

Craig Jasmin is like no other auto dealer I have witnessed or have read and
heard about. Craig is a very motivated and kind person, and it shows. After my
experiences with buying from Craig, I will always buy a car from him, and no
one else when it comes to vehicle purchases. There is always a fair price, and
Craig is not one to give false pretences. He knows what he's doing, and will
never stretch the truth on any subject. Buy from Key Motors. You will not
regret it.

Hi Craig,I just got the 95 wagon and its is exactly as
Between myself and my kids, we just bought our 5th
car from Key Motors. It all started out 3 years ago when my son got a 9C1 from
Craig. We drove to Ballston Spa from Rochester to pick it up. I enjoyed the
ride home in it so much that I told my son that whenever he wanted to get rid
of this car, I wanted it. A few months later, he decided he wanted a State
Trooper blue one, so I got the original one. Since then both my daughters got
cars at Key Motors, and I recently got the latest 9C1. It had some minor
problems that Craig took care of promptly and to my satisfaction. I recommend
Key Motors to everyone. Thanks Craig. Great job!

I purchased my 1995 9C1 Caprice from Craig Jasmin a few months ago, and
couldn't be happier. The car has exceeded all my expectations for performance
and reliability.
Key Motors does an outstanding job of preparing their vehicles for delivery.
They thoughtfully recondition each vehicle, saving you the expenses usually
associated with an older car.
It is getting hard to find nice examples of these Caprices. Fortunately, Key
Motors locates and keeps a large inventory of quality examples. Even better,
they will make performance and cosmetic modifications for you at reasonable
rates. Order yours the way you want it.
Craig Jasmin's Key Motors is "a one of a kind" operation. I give them my
highest recommendations. If you want a 9C1 Caprice, buy it here. These guys
know their stuff and are a pleasure to do business with!

I can't believe what a great deal I got on my Federal 2001 Camaro. I wasn't even actively looking for a new car, just sort of had it in the back of my head that "someday" I would get an LS1 F-body. Well, you gave me such a deal on a great car I couldn't turn it down. Craig has worked on all the options and details to make the car perfect for me- It came with cruise and the Monsoon stereo, but I wanted leather seats, and a different rear axle ratio. I can't believe how this car goes, now.
I absolutely love the car, but it was the deal and the service that sold
me on Key Motors- I am already a repeat customer, and I will be back again
when I am looking for another vehicle. Craig will work with you to find
whatever you are looking for, and won't stop working until you are happy with
your car and your deal. Thanks again, Craig. Like Arnold says, "I'll be
back!"

Just wanted to say I had a great car buying experience from
Craig. I have been looking for a replacement for my 2000 Impala 9C1 for a while
and had my eyes on the the B4C Camaro's. I got in touch with Craig and he was
very helpful. I initially thought I had to back out of the deal and then call
him back a couple of days later and let him know I can purchase the car after all.
Most dealers or private individuals for the matter, would have blew me off. But
Craig worked with me and prepped the car for me within a couple of days. I took
off from Ohio (where I was working that week) to New York to pick up my Camaro
and to trade in my Impala. I didn't even bring my title and he wrote me a check
for the car anyways (I don't recommend doing that). The car was cleaned,
serviced, and any necessary repairs were made. I drove the car back to Michigan
that same day.
Just wanted to say, Great experience! Craig treated me incredibly with
absolutely no pressure, along with helping me out while being in a jamb.
I had two caprice 9C1's, one with a dead tranny, and one that was not on
the road. Craig gave me a decent buck for the pair, although I could
have probably got more outright , I got rid of them quick, and Craig
came to my house, about 25 miles and picked up my 94 and let me drive my
95 one last time with a dealer plate! It broke my heart to get rid of my
95, but Craig told me I had nothing to worry about with this Z56 and he
would stand behind it 100%! He also admitted to me that he was reluctant
himself to get rid of his tahoe. I wish I could send some pics, but I'm
at another computer due to mine crashing. If anyone out there buys my
95 Saratoga county car, please give her a good home, and Craig, Thank
you! It was great dealing with you, and I will certainly be back!
Especially when you get an 05 or 06 police package tahoe!

I am very happy with the vehicle I bought from Key Motors in the Fall
of My son and I were looking for his first car which would either be a classic car , an eighties cutlass supreme or a caprice police package 1994 to 1996 .My first choice for him was the caprice as it has newer technology and more safety features. After seeing an Imlala SS , I was really excited myself about these types of cars.
With In 2 weeks of exploring this category I stumbled on Key Motors via
an ebay auction . Then I went to his web sight AND SAW QUITE A SELECTION .
So far Criag is exactly like every thing you might read about him . He is
a pleasure to deal with and very straight forward no BULL .His
understanding and passion for these types of vehicles is tremendous and
has been contagious to us.
We really like the car it is exactly as he expalined it . We did buy some
options and Craig was fair on the pricing . He perosnally delivered the
car a week earlier than he promised .
The few questions I have had about the car since we bought it Craig was
always avalible and gave us answers very fast . We have not had any
problems with the vehicle at all .
We bought a 1996 Virginia State Car in White . [I love driving this car on
the Highway ]
Please note I do not trust salesman especially used car salesman and after
speaking to Craig on the phone four or five times for about 2 or 3 hours
total I bought the car just by his description and with the pictures on
his websight . We also checked his e bay rating which was very high .
The only negative I have to say was that I had to endure some of Craigs
jokes and unique sense of Humor .
If you think of it ask him about the joke/comment regarding the NY
Snow Storm which the weathermen predicted ten inches of snow.
If you have any interest in what Craig at Key Motors has to sell I would
recommend him 100% .

I always wanted a caprice and I had seen many websites that other owners had and noticed they got most of them from Keymotors. When I moved to PA I decided to see craig's selection for myself. I originally had my focus on a 96 caprice to replace my 93 caprice (totaled in major PA icestorm) for use with my fire department. I ended up getting myself a 2000 Impala 9c1 and my mom her dream car being a 1998 Mustang GT fed car and my sister a 1995 GMC Jimmy from craigs sister in law (she's as obsessed about details on cars as he is) all in one day because the condition and prices were do-able. My Impala has served my department and looks great in parades plus the rest are running strong for everyone else. I would not discourage anyone I know to stop over there and check the vehicles out because its worth the look. I bought my 1996 Dark Green Grey 9C1 Caprice from Key Motors in July of
I bought my 94 Caprice 9c1 from Craig back in June and After about three years of thinking about buying an LT-1 9C1 Caprice I finally decided it was time to buy one. I looked at some in my area and realized that the dealers that were selling them did not know much about the cars and that all of the cars I looked at were overpriced for the poor shape they were in. After being disappointed with all of the cars I looked at I decided to call Key Motors. Craig at Key Motors asked me what exactly I was looking for and while I was on the phone with him he went over to a car that he thought would suit my needs and explained everything about the car to me in detail. He assured me that if I liked what he had just explained about the car that I would not be disappointed with the car if I decided to buy it sight unseen. Talking 9C1 Caprice talk with Craig on the phone for about forty five minutes really made me realize that he has a love for these cars and it put me at ease about buying a car from him sight unseen so I decided to go for it. Craig told me that there is a train station about a half hour drive from his business and that if I came in to Albany on the train that he would pick me up in the car I was buying from him. The day came to go get my car and even though the train arrived in Albany an hour late Craig was still there with my car waiting for me. When I first laid eyes on the car I was impressed. The car is in beautiful shape and I bought it at what I feel is a great price. On my ride back to Rhode Island I found that the car's acceleration, braking, and handling are very impressive. There were a few minor problems that I found with the car which I talked to Craig about and he reimbursed me the money it cost to fix the problems. Even though the purchase transaction is over Craig told me not to forget that if I ever have any problems with the car that I can't figure out and need suggestions that I should feel free to call him. Dealing with Craig at Key Motors has been a pleasure and I love the fact that even after the purchase he is still there for technical advise. I highly recommend Key Motors if you are looking to buy an LT-1 9C1 Caprice. Chris Ring

Hello! My Name is Valentin and I`m from germany. Two month ago I bought a 1996`Chevrolet Caprice from Craig. The Car was former uses by a lokal Police Department. Together with a friend I hoped over to Ballston Spa to see the car before I make the deal. Craig gave us all the time we needed to look at the car and tryout everything. After that and one more day of thinking, I did the deal. All the things we talked about (putting in a CD-Player, extra rims etc.) were done by Craig like we made the arrange. He stored all things safe for the transport, everything was ok.
Now the car arrived at germany - I can start to
restore it to get an original police-car.
I purchased my 1994 Caprice Citizen Wagon from Key Motors last year. There were some initial electrical issues but Key Motors was there to follow up and make things right. I was so happy with the LT1 performance I decided to buy a bigger trailer. See attached photo.

I just purchased a lt adraitic blue 9c1 from craig. Even though i was a pain in the ass, he took the time to work with me and answer all my questions. Great guy to deal with, very relaxed atmosphere no pressure to buy this one or that one. And the cars are clean when you get them! I went up there at the right time, the one i picked was just sittin after a good cleaning session. And the washer fluid was filled too, a nice touch. Sure it has some minor issues, but that's what i expect from a 10 yr old car, let alone a police car. Nothing really major, just average things to deal with.
And he does this for the love of these cars, which is why i bought
from him, he's not just someone selling these, he loves them as much as the
rest of us do. If your looking for a 9c1 or a police tahoe, go see craig, it's
worth it!

I had purchased my last car on the internet and didn’t really have a problem with it. I had purchased a 1994 Chevrolet 9C1, and the guy I bought it from sold it to buy a 99 Tahoe Z56. He picked me up at the airport in it and I knew then that would be my next car. After driving the Caprice for about six years it was getting "long in the tooth" with some 287,000 miles on the clock. Even though she still runs strong I knew it was time to look for a worthy successor. The Caprice had been my 6th police package car and I knew I wanted another one. With gas prices pushing almost $2.00@ gallon I initially dismissed getting a Tahoe Z56. I scoured the web looking at CV PI’s, Luminas, Intrepid’s and Impalas. The only one that gave me any peace was the Ford, and because the body style is still in use where I live I didn’t want the hassle. About a year before I knew I would be able to buy, I found a link to keymotorsusa.com. I hadn’t seen any Tahoes on any of the sites I frequented, and lo and behold, here was a guy who at that time had 12 Tahoes!!!! I began to watch the page weekly and reconsider the Tahoe. Here was a Police Package Vehicle that had the V8 I wanted, plus all the room to. And it didn’t look too copesque". Not that I don’t like that look, I do, I just wanted something a little less attention grabbing. Driving my Caprice through the rougher parts of town brought too many stares from the "unsavory" elements and I didn’t want any rounds sent my way. Anyway, about six months before I was ready to purchase, I gave the owner, Craig a call. I’d read all the testimonials on his site and I was still surprised by talking to him. You see Craig is not selling cars because he’s trying to get rich or make a commission, no he is one of us. He found a product he loved and realized no one was making the purchase of a good, used, police car easy, so he did it. We talked for a half an hour about Caprices, Tahoes, and police cars in general. The reason I had called was to find out how fast the trucks were moving and if he thought he might still have some in November or December when I would be ready to buy. He said he really thought he would, and to call back closer to when I would be ready to buy. I began to watch the page in earnest now, watching weekly for inventory changes. The months between July and December seemed to go on forever. I had settled on a Tahoe that I wanted, one of the 2wd versions in NY States blue. I picked the one with the lowest listed mileage, and was counting the days until my funds were available. Then one day I logged on (some time in August I think) to check the inventory and there was a new Tahoe listed. A 2wd model that was black with a grey interior. The mileage was lower than anything else available at 97,000. I was drooling over this truck. With 3 months to go until my funds became available, I assumed it would not last long. I called Craig and inquired about the truck and he told me all about it. Mind you I haven’t given this man a penny yet and he spent another half hour talking with me and the next day he sent me photos of the truck. Craig was right up front with me about what he considered wrong with the truck, things like paint and some small imperfections in the truck. I studied photos he’d sent and fell in love with the truck. I could only hope it was still around in December. When my check arrived I called Craig that day. I made a deal with him on the price and sent him a deposit the same day. I couldn’t wait to get to New York to pick it up. I flew in on a Thursday and Craig met me at the airport and off we went to get my truck. Craig told me that he usually picks up his customers in their new cars but my car was at the shop getting a front end alignment. You see, Craig had replaced the all the steering linkage on the truck because he wasn’t happy with how it was steering. That is the kind of guy he is. Not only that, the people who took the decals off the truck had scratched it up and Craig didn’t want it leaving like that, so he painted both sides of the truck. Yup, painted and clear-coated it. I couldn’t believe how great the truck looked when I saw it. Gloss, glossy, wicked black, very nice!!! That’s not all, the previous owners; (Vermont State DMV) had lost one of the panels in the back of the truck so Craig bought a new one and installed it. This is great service. He also put new tires one it. Needless to say this is the best car buying experience in my 40 years. After finishing up the paperwork, we went out for a bite. On the way back the check engine light came on. Craig took it back to his shop and ran a scan tool on it. An oxygen sensor had come loose so he took care of it. I was planning to hit the road in the morning, so I head out to find a motel for the evening. I stopped at a mall to get a bite and kill some time, when I went to lock the truck up, the rear doors would not lock. I called Craig and he had me bring it back the next morning. He spent another hour that morning getting the rear door lock mechanism working. When I left that morning I was more than completely satisfied with my experience with Craig and Keymotors.net. Craig spent more time and money making sure I was happy with my purchase than I would have ever expected from any car dealer. I would highly recommend Craig and Keymotors.net to anyone who is looking for a high quality used police car at a great price with outstanding service. I hope in 3 or 4 years Craig has a 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe Z56 that I can buy from him. He gets the rest of my car business as long as he is in business.

After driving through a NY winter in a 68 baja bug with no heat, and collecting a few “warning” tickets for excessively-loud-exhaust. I knew it was time for a new car. I went looking to find the right one. Quiet-4doors-resonable mpg-and had to look GOOD. I looked everywhere and found the caprice classic fit my bill. I wanted the Impala SS, the 14K asking prices were too much. Then I noticed the 9C1’s being sold, auctioned off. These are Impalas SS without the excessive price. All over the web were people selling them. However, only one I found also offered warranties also—Keymotors.
Being over 2 hours drive away I did a lot of talking to Craig over the phone ahead of time. He answered all my questions, yes even the dumb ones without losing patience. When I was ready, he agreed to meet us on a Saturday for looking at his inventory. I wanted a white one, with spotlight, as a daily driver and family car. We looked at all the cars, Low-pressure sales doesn’t begin to explain Craig. After talking with me, he hinted at another car. Bingo-Love at first drive. No new car ever felt as good/tight as “My” LT1 Ex-US Marshals 9C1. You mash the throttle and hold on the thrill ride starts. Quickly you’ll exceed ANY speed limit. To think that anyone thinks they could out-run these cars is laughable. HooDawgy this car Sh*ts and Gits, like no other.
Craig explained all the new parts installed, we found a few items I wanted fixed. He put a new hood on it, and repainted it (I couldn’t live with rust on my NEW car). He even matched 2 other panels that now didn’t match. How far will he go to fix a problem—crawling into the trunk-shutting the lid- and having water poured over it to find a water leak (leak fixed).
The following weekend I went on a cruise to Ohio and back. This was the first time I ever went interstate tripping without an extensive toolbox in the car. No worries. Flawless performance the whole way, 24 mpg in a full size, four door, 4100 pound car at 70mph. Quiet car-no sound difference between 35mph and 85mph-you can whisper at the passenger and be heard, how neat is that.
Cant wait for the 9C1 meet at Craigs in the fall. Planning on getting a few upgrades done while we’re there. I highly recommend the “fuel gauge fix” it can get alittle freaky going 200 miles, and not having the gauge budge.
So that’s it Papa Jon gets his respectable-comfortable-family car, and one of the last Rip Snorting factory hot rods all in one car. Watch for the BlueJet flashing by on interstates near you.

I discovered Key motors when I was driving down from Plattsburgh, NY down to
Albany, NY when I stopped just outside this little town called Ballston Spa.
As I was fueling my car I noticed the fellow next to me was filling up what
looked like a late model Chevy Caprice Classic. I asked him if it was an old
police car and he confirmed that It was. He said that there's a gentleman
that specializes in used police cars in town and to go and have a chat with
him about what I would need. I looked him up on the Internet and called him
a couple of times and decided to go and have a look at what he had. Due to
the work that I do, I wanted a vehicle that I could drive heavily and not
have to worry about, rather than putting all the mileage and wear and tear
on my primary car (2001 Audi A4).
I was never very struck with the Chevys and although the car I drove was an
absolute gem I just couldn't get myself to buy it. So... I asked how much
trouble it would be if Craig could order a Crown Victoria for me to compare.
One day later ... let me stress that again, ONE DAY LATER he had a Metallic
Gray P71 for me to drive. I admit I much preferred the Ford (sorry all you
Chevy fans) even though it was noticeably more sluggish than the Chevys. It
had 127,000 miles on it approx. and cosmetically it was just about perfect.
Mechanically, it only needed a couple of minor things here and there. The
only major thing was an exhaust leak. Craig was very honest and said that he
wasn't as knowledgeable with the Ford's so he sent it out to have the leak
repaired.
Four days after my initial drive of the car I took delivery of my 1998 Ford
Crown Victoria P71. It looked like a new car inside and out. I will admit to
not expecting it to look as good as it did when I went to pick it up.
So to sum up, day one, I wasn't sure if I even wanted an old police car.
Fast forward 5 Days and I am driving home in a gem of a used car ... at a
great price.
I would recommend Craig's facility to anyone who would be looking for a
quality used heavy duty car to use as a second car or a highway car. I will
buy my next used Police Car from him, whatever it may be ... perhaps a
Tahoe!!
Oh yeah, one more thing... You'll get a kick out of this Craig. On my way
home from work one day I was stopped by the NY State Police. I wasn't doing
anything wrong the officer said to me. Apparently, he wanted to find out
which State agency I worked for because he hadn't seem a P71 in the color
that I had. I told him it was my private car which was owned by the State of
Virginia previously and was 6 years old. His reply was, and I'll never
forget it... "Wow, want to trade ... mine is brand new and I like yours
better!"

I purchased my first 9C1 from Craig ('94 PA State Police unmarked) nearly 2
years ago. At the time the car had nearly 153,000 miles so I was a little
nervous about possible problems. Craig assured me that he would go through
the car and make sure everything was okay. During almost 20,000 miles of
often hard driving, the ONLY thing the car needed was to have a headlight bulb
replaced. I was still in love with the car and made the mistake of letting
one of my friends drive it. He couldn't wipe the grin off his face after he
got out of the car. Two days later he called me and said he had to have the
car. Even though I had no intentions of selling it, he insisted and offered me
a fair price. Immediately, I went to see Craig again. I found a white
unmarked '95 with nearly 153,000 miles on it and a bad transmission. Once
again, Craig assured me that he would take care of all the mechanical
problems. He even did a few things for me (for free) that I requested. The
car also !
How awesome is my 1995 Key Motors, 9C1 Marblehead Gray metallic car?? Well Michael, AZ
I just bought my 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe from Craig @ Key Motors and was I became interested in the 9C1 Police vehicles several years ago. At that time I checked out several dealers and advertisers on the internet and on ebay. keymotorsusa.com seemed to have the best reputation on ebay and I watched several of their cars at auction and carefully monitored the feedback. When I saw a '94 9C1 "trade in" come to the auction with the usual multitude of pictures, I was impressed. The car was clean, optioned out, and honestly described. I contacted Craig Jasmin by email and he was quick to answer all my questions. I set a limit of what the base car price plus the extras would be and won the auction below my max bid amount. It turns out that the car was the personal transportation of one of Craig's employees and it was even better than described. I purchased a one-way ticket from Maryland to Albany, was met by Craig at the airport, did the necessary paperwork, and was on the road in about an hour.
The car was everything I hoped it would be. I
drove it home to Maryland and it passed the tough Maryland inspection with
only a minor repair (exhaust gasket). I am a truly satisfied customer and I
would certainly recommend Craig and his operation to everyone. Over two years
have passed and I have had NO repairs other than ordinary maintenance on my
9C1. If ALL used car dealers had the integrity and honesty of Craig.....there
sure would be a lot less jokes about "used car salesman". I
can still email Criag if I have a problem or need a part and he is right there
for me.

I just purchased a 95 Impala SS from Key Motors and have found all the other glowing testimonials to be true. I live in North Texas and love B- body GM cars, owning a 95 9C1 Caprice, 95 Buick Roadmaster Wagon, and 96 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. I looked for an SS locally but the prices were out of sight. Then I saw a 95 SS on the Key Motors website for a reasonable price - but it was located in the New York rust belt! I hesitated for a while but finally called Craig Jasmin and asked about the car. He is a great low-key salesman, talked to me for quite a while, told me the history of the car and was very forthcoming on its condition both good and bad. Now I have never in my life even considered buying a car sight unseen, especially one across the country, but based mostly on his reputation I decided to buy the car. He told me they would completely inspect the car and fix anything that was a problem within the original price. In my case that wound up including a rebuilt transmission, Transgo shift kit, total new brakes, four new tires, front wheel alignment, new radiator, new starter, new oil cooler lines, new grille, rear window track repair, some dent repair, repainting the roof and hood, and a complete detailing! I elected to have Craig do a lot of extras, including Bilstein shocks, Z28 Instrument cluster, 3.73 gears, Eaton Posi, 160 Tstat, PCM reprogramming, new Optispark, plugs, plug wires, water pump, O2 sensors, coil, and new factory mufflers. Even with all these add-ons and the cost of shipping the car the total price was still less than prevailing retail in my area. I was pretty nervous waiting for it to be done but when it came there were no major surprises, it looked exactly as described and ran great. I highly recommend Craig and Key Motors to anyone looking for a B-body, he is honest, trustworthy, and a true expert in a very limited field.
Sincerely,
Don Rundgren
As you
have read about doing business with Craig, it was great. I purchased a
1995 Chevrolet 9C1 formally owned by the US government Marshall Service.
It is black with a grey interior. (Great for cloning) However the car is a
Caprice and I didn't want an Impala SS otherwise I would've bought an
Impala SS. When I first saw the vehicle it was a typical black Chevy
Caprice. I made a couple of requests of Craig before I picked up the car.
First I wanted to be rid of the stock hubcaps and have them replaced with
center caps. Next I wanted the car black, all black. There were a few
heavy scratches on the body I wanted fixed, so done. The chrome was also
blacked out including the grille (replaced with an Impala grille) and the
chrome strip along the trunk lid. Craig took care of the rest by adding
the Impala body moldings. and blacking out the body chrome and the tail
light chrome. On the inside Craig replaced the ugly bench seat with a
pair of buckets from an Ex-Virginia State patrol. He also replaced the
carpet with a rubber floor for cleaning ease. He added a Monsoon CD and
Gary added flash to pass. Under the hood I requested a "first base"
delete. That was also done and replaced with a black tube. As far as
performance the car does not run like a car with 102,000 miles, the engine
purrs and runs smoothly. The car is so comfortable that I surprised myself
when I looked down and noticed myself doing 95 MPH down the New York State
Thruway. -Jeff C. As anticipated, based upon all of the testimonials I read prior to
contacting you, buying from Key Motors was an excellent experience. All
aspects of the process went smoothly, except for a NJ DMV problem that was
totally out of your hands. To begin with, I was able to choose from a
wide variety of cars, listed on your website. I found one that was just
what I was looking for: A 1995 Caprice LT1 9C1 that was unmarked. In
fact, it was a retired U.S. Marshal's car, which would have much less wear
and tear than a normal trooper's car. There were actually multiple U.S.
Marshal's cars listed, so that I could even pick the color I wanted.
Amazing. hello, i am mailing from germany. last year we bought a 95`caprice-police from craig. a very solid and clean car at all with many power ! Thanx a lot !
It is unbelievable how satisfied I am with my Pennsylvania State 9C1. It has been three years that I have contacted you and I made the drive a few times from Montreal, Quebec (Canada) to come find my car. I, like many others, was sceptical, firstly about buying a used police car and secondly buying a nine-year old discontinued Chevy. Furthermore, my scepticism was amplified by the fact Key Motors was across the border. As I did more research and spoke to Craig, it was apparent that the "Cop-rice" was a different breed of car. I started to look around my area to see what was being offered: white, mostly 1994, advanced state of rust, holes everywhere - dashboard, bumper, trunk, roof, in the rubber floor - and half of them had the 4.3L (L99)... needless to say that our cop cars up here get very beat up and have to go through harsh winters; after ten years the cars have very visible signs of aging. I decided to try my luck south of the border.
After test driving a multitude of Caprices on several occasions, I finally
found the one: clean, no holes, no rust, quiet and packing under the
hood. I must add that the whole time Craig was there to answer questions
and had no problems with me test driving several cars and inspecting them
inside and out. I told Craig that I wanted a good car that had to last
and that it would also need to pass inspection. He was fully cooperative
and understanding. In fact, it passed both federal and provincial
inspections (which are very stringent) without any problems. It is
unbelievable how many people are impressed by how clean the car is (even
mechanics and car connoisseurs!), their faces are full of surprise when
they find out it's a '95 ex-cop car. The drive is great too, the LT1
delivers..."ask and you shall receive"! Overall, I'm very happy with the
car and Key Motors. The car was delivered as promised, checked, nice and
clean. I know it sounds as if I'm praising Craig and Key Motors but
that's just how satisfied I am with the whole process. I came down to see
Craig without knowing what to expect, and now I am impressed, truly
satisfied and a proud owner of a LT1 9C1.
Thanks Craig!

My wife and I had been looking for a good used full sized car for about a
year. One day we decided to look for a car online. We typed in "used cars"
and went to e-Bay. Getting a used duty vehicle never came to mind until we
researched the 9C1's. What more could you possibly ask for. Full size, four
doors, room for 6 people and LT-1 power. The heavy duty options on these
cars alone sold us on the deal. We looked at a lot of junk online and
decided that my days of wanting to be under the hood and fixing someone
else's headaches were over with! Then all of a sudden we saw one of Craig's
KEY MOTORS cars on e-Bay. After talking to Mr. Jasmin at KEY MOTORS our
decision was made. He had a whole fleet of good clean and reliable duty
vehicles that you virtually had to just insure, put a license plate on and
drive home or he will arrange to have a in-transit plate installed with
proof of insurance for a small fee. As we all know seeing is believing. So I
asked my wife if she would like to drive to see Mr. Jasmin's vehicles with
me. Let me tell you something, we were so over whelmed and impressed with
his personality, the organization of his dealership and the knowledge he had
of these cars. The condition and quality of the cars were indescribable. It
was worth our 8 hour drive from Washington, Pa to his facility in Albany, Ny.
You will not be disappointed if you decide to take the drive, its well worth
it. The price and the hospitality that was given to us was remarkable. We
now have people that we can honestly call our friends in Ballston Spa, Ny.
We can't say that about any car dealer we have ever dealt with in the past.
Not by a long shot. We highly recommend KEY MOTORS for all your 9C1
interests. These cars are now so few and far between to find. You will not
find a nicer one out there than at Craig's location. The car that we
purchased is a real looker. It's nice when you are in traffic and other
people will admire what we are driving even our local State Police. We are
looking forward to buying a second 9C1 for me next year. My wife won't drive
her new Intrepid anymore! Gee, thanks Craig!! About four years ago, I purchased my first Key Motors vehicle, a 95 New
Jersey 9c1. I found Craig through a local ad and gave him a call. The
purchase was easy and the car was great. My memory of the transaction was
that he was excited for me as I was to be driving this car. It was one of
the first few he sold, and we spent many hours trading opinions, facts and
our own conjectures about these cars. -A.V. I just want to say thanks to Craig and everybody at Key Motors. If you are in the market for something Craig has and looking for the best car buying experience, then get in touch with Craig. He is easy to reach by email, phone, or just take a visit to the shop. I called Craig to inquire about the Caprice Wagons he had. He invited me to come take a look and so I did. This was the most laid back test drive experience I had ever been on. Craig doesn't play the pushy salesman. He'll give you the history of the car to the best of his abilities. I test drove a couple cars and decided on the one I liked best. Craig worked around my hectic schedule and later we finalized the deal over the phone. I then decided to add some options to my car. They offer a wide variety of options and add-ons that look factory installed. They can also have mechanical work done if you! like. I've had my car over a month now and it's been a dream. It was a pleasure meeting and doing business with knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic people. Thanks again Craig and company.

I bought my 9C1 about two years ago from Key Motors. It had 146K on it and
two years later I just turned 200K. The car has been a dream! I beat the car
all the time and it just stays together. I have gone through 4 sets of rear
tires, see the picture. I have recommended this guy to many people. This has
been, hands down, the best purchase and the best seller ever. I give him an
A++! Thanks for the sale and I'll be in touch for my next one!
Being a past 92' Caprice owner, and a current 96' Impala SS owner (and a current Impala SS/Caprice/9C1 car club member), it was obvious that when I wanted to add another daily driver, the choice would be to look for a Chevy Caprice 9C1. My 96' SS isn't allowed out much, and my Chevy Silverado, although great for my towing needs, wasn't the best for a daily highway commuter for gas mileage, but still had to have something fun to drive. I started looking locally at auctions, internet car sites and car lots for a 9C1, but was quickly disappointed at how poor of shape these cars were in. And they were all white. Many were not checked out or cleaned up that well for sale. Here, I thought municipalities took care of their vehicles. And when these cars were up for sale, they were poorly prepped to get them sold (poor paint and damage repairs). Apparently some used car lots think Armor All on the tires is a full detail job. Get real. A previous customer of yours who frequents our car club website forum mentioned Key Motor's website to check out for 9C1's. I was impressed by how the website was laid out, and hey, you had cars in colors other than white!!!!! A 94' dark sapphire blue 9C1 caught my eye. The pictures showed a very clean car, and it was an ex-state trooper, so it was all highway miles. After a few conversations and finally making a deal, you even arranged to have the car shipped from New York to the Chicago suburbs area where I live. When I received the car and finally got a chance to really give it a full inspection since I bought it off of pictures and phone conversations, I was really impressed with how clean and un-worn the interior was. The paint was shiny, and it even had a spare tire (most of the 9C1's locally were missing the spare and jack). I, in my meticulous nature, like tinkering with cars and also am happy to say after inspecting the mechanics of the car that the car proved to be a very solid runner. I wholeheartedly recommend checking out a car from Key Motors and Craig Jasmin. Owning a 9C1 is a fun experience, and now I have a car that I can drive to the club meetings during the winter/bad weather. Thanks
I bought my car from Craig, and it has been a wonderful experience.
Craig has a real passion for police cars, and for brining the joy of
owning these great cars to his customers. Craig knows these cars
inside and out, and he spent hours showing me all his cars and
discussing all the exciting add-on options that he can provide. I got
a beautiful car, and with some fantastic add-ons. Craig added 3.73
gears, high flow mufflers, and performance programming -- and the car
really flies! He also did some body and interior work to make the car
look great. Plus, he added a Monsoon CD player and enhanced speakers
to make the stereo system come alive. Finally, he added the Z-28
gauge cluster so I can monitor my engine's RPM's and other vital signs
(which really brings everything together). I highly recommend all of
these options. My car is a joy to drive, and I've had no problems
with it whatsoever. So, if you're looking for the best car, and the
best car buying experience, then I suggest you buy one of Craig's
police cars -- and load up on the options!
-P. Klein About two years ago, I purchased a 1995 Police package Chevrolet Caprice from Craig. Being a Police Officer and having driven these cars on duty, I really learned to love them. The car I purchased was from Virgina Highway Patrol and is a strong running cruiser and it gets many comments from my fellow Officers. Craig was a great guy to deal with and I enjoyed purchasing a car from him. Soon my son is going to be looking for a used car and I suggested he look at Craig's website. needless to say, he can only talk about making the short trip to Craig's and look around. I cannot say enough good things about my dealings with Craig. I can only look forward to more dealings with him in the future. Scott
I was looking for my first car,
something that was safe, and reasonably peppy. I knew my brother John
had previously bought 2 Caprices from Craig, and all I heard after each
purchase was what great cars they were, and what a great job Craig did
with them. I'd considered getting a caprice myself, but to be honest I
didn't think I could handle that much power. I noticed on Craig's
website that he had police package Luminas, with the 3.8L V6, which I've
seen perform and was very impressed with, and just like everything I've
heard, Craig was right there to help me out.
Kevin M. After all those many car buying experiences, I had a wonderful experience dealing with Craig. I found him and his lot by Ebay and I kept an eye on his website for a year looking for a Ford P71 and wasn't interested in Chevys and i had funds so i gave it a try and found a 94 9C1 which is white with nice options. After i first test drove it, fell in love with it and test drove other cruisers and didn't feel fit in so i bought the 94 9C1 right there and had difficulties with insurance company for insurance proof for DMV in order to receive plates and registration and time nearly ran out and Craig took care of it and it worked out. I haven't met anyone like him who would be honest and open minded about Caprices and other cars at his lot. Thanks to Craig, I am extremely happy with it and it hasn't given me a problem. I never will get bored with it by its performance, safety, reliability and room in the car. I will definitely buy another 9C1! from him in the future!

I discovered Key Motors through e-bay. When I saw the selection of vehicles on Craig's website, I was very impressed. I was especially impressed with the "mods" that were offered. I traveled from NH to purchase a 1995 9C1 Caprice. The car was very clean and had a lot of power. I was assured that the car would pass my states safety inspection 100%. When I tried to get it inspected the next day...it failed and cost me a couple hundred in repairs. When I forwarded this to Craig...he stood by his word and cut me a check to cover the repairs - 100%. I'm sure most dealerships would have given me the tail light guarantee, but Craig was a stand up guy. I recommend him to anyone who appreciates these cars. Thanks Craig!!!

Today I had a great experience as I picked up a long sought-after white unmarked 9C1. For two years I have been checking in with Craig to find something somewhat rare and finally he found what I was looking for. Most unmarked 9C1's are a color other than white. I think Craig thought I was crazy to be holding out so long for this, when there were many nice colored unmarked cars passing through his dealership. But being a long time fan of the Impala SS, (but not a big fan of its price), I would have bought one of those if it had came in white. And believe it or not I already owned two civilian Caprice's that were both white. One was a 1992 and the other a 4.3 liter 1994. Which will probably be up for sale soon. I intend to make my 9C1 a family car / daily driver with some Impala type mods. I just wanted everyone to know that I have found Craig to be first and foremost patient enough to put up with me for the approximately two years that we had been discussing my desire. I have additionally found Craig to be quite honest and trustworthy. He had saved me from making the four hour trip by actually talking me out of a few cars that I thought I had interest in. Craig is not just a salesman, but he actually becomes your assistant in making your purchase. There is a big difference in the two methods, as I know being a salesperson myself. In conclusion, it's a relief to finally have a good experience buying a car. I am happy with the car, Craig and his guys were very informative (and entertaining), and added positively to the buying process. It was worth the four hours each way (from Long Island), and would gladly do it again any day. Thanks again Craig!! Sincerely, Rick S. Having fallen in love with my retired FBI, '91 Caprice it finally came time to buy a replacement. (I had put close to 200,000 miles on it with no major repairs.) So I took a look on Ebay to see what kind of Caprices were being offered there and what kinda $ they were going for. I spotted a low mileage '94 Caprice wagon offered by "some New Yorker." "Car dealer," "New Yorker," "Internet Auction," my southern suspicions were aroused to say the least. But, I talked to Craig on the phone and checked the feed back from past buyers and ended up the winning bidder of the wagon. It was a pleasure to do business with this man. He revealed all known defects, delivered it to meet me at the train station and even gave me a full tank of gas. This is an honest man with integrity that I must recommend. Sincerely, C.C.Clemen I could go into a long drawn out story about how i met Craig Jasmin and
the process it took for me to secure my vehicle from Key Motors.......but i
won't!!!
I looked for 10 months to find a Caprice 9C1 Lt1. I had seen several of Craigs cars on Ebay and decided to give him a call. I learned more in one call to him that the whole previous 10 months. Craig was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and very patient with my million questions. When my car arrived by transport to Georgia, it was exactly as described. In fact, Craig pointed out details that I probably would never had seen. He treated very honestly and is there for you after the sale if you have any questions. Thanks Craig

I have always been looking for performance cars. A long research into them led me to stop at the police cars. A friend of mine suggested visiting Craig at Key motors. I was looking to buy a Caprice, it was a weekend so I decided to go and visit Key motors. Craig from the first day I meet him shown great respect to me, even despite it was a weekend we immediately went for a test drive. It was the best experience of all I was in love with the car from the first test drive Craig really let me experience what 9C1 is all about: it is a true performer, looking big and bulky the car will out accelerate, out handle, and outbreak most performance cars; it gets at least 22 mpg on highway at 75-80 fully loaded. I bought my (95 9C1-Florida Sheriffs car from Craig in 2002) since then 12000 miles later I haven't found anything wrong with it. I frequently drive from Texas to New-York and the car newer gives me a problem, I went for a non stop trip to Texas witch took 26 hours to complete and had now problems at all. Craig also shows a great commitment in his business, his cars are the best of the 9c1 there are out there. He is very helpful and will solve any problem you have, and work with you to get your police car in no time at all.

Like many others that have "discovered" Key Motors and Craig Jasmin, I first heard about both in several of the web rings and egroups that covered Caprices and 9c1 police vehicles in particular. I had purchased a 95 Caprice (ex-Michigan State Police) in 2000 and had planned on using it as a project car as it had much of it replaced not long before it was retired. However, while browsing through the Key Motors website last November I stumbled across a 2000 Impala 9c1 that he had just acquired (had only the one picture at the time.) After several phone calls, Craig was able to take further pictures so that I could get a better look at the car. He was hesitant to send any photos before he had a chance to detail the car, but target fixation had already taken over me and I had to see how it looked. Well, as much as I liked my Caprice, I was smitten. I work at a Chevrolet dealership and had driven Impalas, plus my mother owns one, so I was fully aware of how they drove and handled. After a few more conversations, Craig put a figure on my vehicle that I felt was fair and the deal was done. By the way, did I mention I live just outside Charleston, SC? Everything we did was long distance, but I never was given any reason to doubt Craig and anything he had to say about the car and he trusted me enough to put a dollar figure on my car without seeing it, let alone driving it before committing himself. I am at that stage in life where you just know some people can be trusted, and in this day and age they are very rare.
To make a long story short, I drove about 2000
miles round trip in 48 hours to make the trade. Going up to New York I stayed
just ahead of a winter storm and then faced rain through the night as I headed
back through the Northeast. By the time I got home I was exhausted, but the
car drove great and I was more than pleased with the purchase. To this day I
have not regretted buying from Craig and now intend to do so again. When I
traded the Caprice, I was left with all sorts of parts that I had intended on
using during the cosmetic rebuild, and had planned on selling most of them.
Just recently, however, I got the urge to start working on some new project
and had visions of finding an older Chevrolet (66-68) of some kind and
restoring it when the idea hit, why not get another Caprice since I still love
the car and have all those parts. After making the decision to buy another,
Craig was my first, and probably my only choice. I have checked eBay and
other sources, but with Craig you never have to worry whether the car will
make it home, let alone last another several years. So we are now in the
process of trying to decide which vehicle in his stable will become my new
project.
Let me repeat, you can search anywhere you like
for a a good deal on a used car, especially a specialty car like the 9c1, but
you won't find a better PERSON from which to purchase. Craig is a man with
integrity and that is something not often found these days, especially in the
car business (take it from one who knows!) I would not hesitate to buy from
Craig again and would recommend him to anyone wishing to buy from a trusted
source.

I have always wanted a police car, and research shows the '94-'96
9C1 Caprices are the best of breed.
After a long search for
a clean 9c1 CHEVROLET CAPRICE I learned about KEY MOTORS in Ballston Spa, NY. I needed several Caprices for our company. While there are quite a few dealers who handle used police cars, I chose Key Motors. Some of the other dealers had very large garages with many employees and "professional" sales people who were more than happy to sell me what THEY thought I needed.
I started reading about Craig Jasmin and Key
Motors in a couple of the internet groups. I heard many good things about him
and his cars. I also heard a few complaints and saw how he handled them. I
called and talked with him on several occasions. I learned how they do
business, where they get their cars and what they do to them. I talked to
some of his customers. In the end, I spent nearly six months researching more
than twenty dealers across the country, I decided to buy the needed vehicles
from Key Motors. Craig listened to my needs and found the right cars for me.
To date, we have bought five Caprices from Craig,
and will continue to do so as long as I need these types of cars. I have been
really impressed with the cars. Being located in Indiana, we are 707 miles
from Key Motors and have done everything over the phone until it comes time to
take delivery. I have not been disappointed in any of the cars or in Craig
and his team.
I can say is that I find Craig to be professional
and very honest. I have seen where a few of his customers (including police
agencies) have tried to take advantage of Key Motors. Despite these
occurrences, Key Motors takes care of its customers. I trust these people
completely, and so should everybody else. Yes, Virginia, there really IS an
honest car dealer. His name is Craig Jasmin.

We picked up a '94 white former police car and have been very happy with it. It is solid and has not needed anything sice we bought it! Of all the car dealers here in Indiana, I'll buy my next Caprice from Key.

Lawrence “Papa’s A Rollin’
Stone” Lee Back in 2002 I was looking for a car
that was safe, cheap, fast and somewhat economical, (rest assured I found one
that meets or exceeds my standards) I tried looking for used cop cars but
couldn't find anything clean enough until I found Craig's web site and to my
surprise it was in my own home town. I stopped in and I took a test drive in a
95 9c1 with my dad, I remember him saying give it a little gas, my dads head
whipping backwards and the rest is history. I've bought 2 9c1's from Craig and
every time he has been more than willing to go out of his way to help with any
of my needs or concerns. thanks for all the great help and advice. About a year and a half ago a buddy of mine took me out to his garage to see
his new car. I could not Sincerely Matt Gill
Thanks so much for your help. We just wanted to tell you that we are very happy with our new cars. Also, we really appreciate the extra attention and effort you gave us. We know how hard you worked to get that grey car ready in time for us. The white one is great also. Nobody would ever guess it has 140K on the odometer, it runs great! Actually, they both run great. Nice clean cars, just as advertised.
Anyway, we just wanted to say “ the cars rock”, but mainly “you rock”. Watch out, you may start giving car dealers a good name . Thanks again.
Dave and Marsha Tashman (from Westchester)
I first learned about Key Motors from my Dad when he bought his
94 NYSP 9C1. We made the 5 hour drive to pick his car up on 5/28/03. Once
we arrived at Key Motors I was amazed. I have always been a HUGE fan of the
Police Package Caprice and to see in excess of 50 in once place and all for sale
boggled my mind. I met the owner of the business Craig, who showed us my
father's car. It was beautiful, exactly as Craig had described it. We test
drove the car and Craig showed us what was so special about the 9C1s with the
LT1 engine, they are like a low flying rockets to put it mildly. Just before
leaving, Craig jokingly told me after the ride home I would want one too, he was
right and two weeks later I ordered my 94 NYSP 9C1. WOW! That just about sums it up. I have been trying to find a way to buy a used cop car since I was a kid. I have come close once or twice, then I found Craig’s website after seeing one of his cars on ebay. Buy a car on the net? No way, not me! I have been following his site for well over a year before I was able to convince myself to give him call. The car I was looking at was sold, but he was interested in what I wanted and asked a lot of questions. Sure enough, a while later I get a call from him. He might have something I am interested in. A ’94 NYSP Thruway car with only 91,000 miles and dual spotlights, he describes it as being in excellent condition. After struggling with the thought of buying a car over the net for a while, I ask if he will hold it until I can come out a take a look. No problem. Again, WOW! We agree on a date and my son and I take the drive to Albany. We get there a little early and have the chance to see Craig and his staff in action. They are the best! This car is better than I ever dreamed. The other cars I tried for were from auctions and private parties, most of the cars were pretty tough. This car looked beautiful. Yeah, there is a blemish or two, but those are really badges of honor. In reality, this car looks better than most cars in service today. And we could get a warranty! Craig let us use a Tahoe to take the rental car back to the airport. After that ride, I am sold. What a nice truck and 175,000+ to boot. Once the car is ready, we take it out for a ride. It is just amazing on how smooth and tight the ride is. Then we get out on the open road. WOW! I am sold. I have never driven anything like this before. 10 years old and 91,000 miles and it could be just off the show room floor. The only issue with the car was a problem with the AC and Craig was great about that, no problem. This was positively the best car buying experience I have ever had, no question. I have put over 2,000 miles on it in the couple of months since I bought and it is just great. Yeah, I get some heat from driving a “cop car”, but so what? I am admittedly a geek when it comes to this stuff. But take off the spot lights and put different on wheel covers and no one would ever guess. It is a beautiful car! I will be back. In fact my son is in the process of buying a similar one now.
Charlie Kennedy
Having driven these cars extensively when new as a state trooper, I already
knew what a good car the Caprice is. Any concerns I had about buying a used
police car were answered honestly and courteously by Craig. His cars are
exceptionally clean, and dealing with Craig and his staff has been a
pleasure. If you want a clean police package Caprice, I highly recommend
Craig Jasmin and Key Motors. I had been searching for an unmarked state police car for about six months when I found Key Motors' website. After perusing through the available inventory I found the car I wanted -- a 1996 Virginia State Caprice. I quickly contacted Craig, who was informative and honest. He even promised my money back and a ride to the airport if I wasn't satisfied. He picked me up at the airport and the car was everything he promised. This car is one of the nicest unmarked units I have ever driven. What a GREAT experience. I will never go anywhere else! Brad Barczy

I had known Craig Jasmin of Key Motors for a few years thru a local car club, so when my wife and I were looking for a used SUV in the $10,000 range, we went to Key Motors to see what condition the Tahoe's & Bronco's were in. We were able to test drive several different vehicles and found a black '99 Tahoe we both really liked. Craig's price was very reasonable, which made it financially possible for us to buy a carpet and new aftermarket rims & tires. Craig was also willing to buy them himself and tack the cost onto the purchase of the vehicle, which allowed us to roll it into the car loan, instead of paying it upfront. Craig also allowed us to install the carpet ourselves at his shop, saving us a couple hundred bucks. We've put over 3,000 miles on it in the 6 months we've had it and have had no problems. People are usually shocked when they realize it's a former police vehicle because it's in such nice condition. All in all it was a great experience and we got a beautiful Tahoe in excellent condition for a great price and I will definitely consider Key Motors again next time we're looking for a used vehicle." -Josh Reuter, ...outstanding service and customer support! Key Motors is one-stop I bought my car through Key Motors in June, 2001. All my dealings with Craig were done over the internet and I was impressed by the speed and quality of the replies to my queries, and the reassurances that were given. The car was delivered to the docks at Port Elizabeth, New Jersey by Craig and sent over to the U.K. where it was collected and modified to meet U.K. regulations. Both the guy that modified the car, who was also the importer for me, and I were amazed at the condition of the car. It truly was even better than I expected for a 100,000 mile ex-VSP cruiser. In addition, the shipper was very impressed with the efficiency of Craig's response to all their requests for information.
I tell everyone I meet that these LT1 powered
9C1s are such great cars and where I bought it from.
Thanks, Craig, for making the whole buying,
shipping and owning process so drama free and pleasant
Sandy Mercer, Thanks Craig for
saving us over $10,000.00 compared to what the other used vehicle dealers where
asking for their 4 wheel drive 99 Tahoe's.
I just want to thank you again for a great deal on a great truck. It is Key Motors is by far the best car buying experience I've ever had, new or
David Wilson, NY I purchased a 95 9C1 from Key motors in 2000. Craig was a pleasure to deal with. He was up front on all information about the car and the transactions to buy the car went off without a hitch. I would recommend Craig to anyone thinking about buying from him. He sells only quality vehicles and back what he sells. I plan to buy from again. Alan Westin,
