Greyson was very low pressure, helpful, and efficient. I’d buy there again!
Nov 12, 2025
Attentive but not the hard sale like some dealers
Worked with Greyson at Budget. Sales people and manager were very responsive
and professional. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to close the anticipated deal quickly
enough as my salesmans co worker slipped in with a deposit from another client
before I was able to wire the entire proceed from my bank. Disappointed that I
wasn’t able to close the deal with Budget but it was an overall professional group
to work with.

Budget responded back quickly. We test drove the pilot the next day, Johnathan was great to work with, and was very knowledgeable of the vehicle. The no haggle pricing was below Kelly blue book pricing, and the vehicle was in excellent condition. I would gladly car shop there again.
Aug 4, 2025
The vehicle was in excellent condition. The car I had contacted the dealer about was gone and the dealer sent me a message inviting me to come see a similar car. I went and got another Toyota Sienna XLE 7-Passenger FWD in excellent condition, almost new at the same price.

The dealership was great throughout the car buy experience. No hard sales pitch, very personable and
transparent, with reasonable pricing. Would recommend Johnathan Kavanagh!
Jul 9, 2024
Very nice Salesman. Properly described the Lexes. Highly recommend!
Mark, the Sale Manager, and Greyson did a great job during this whole process. The negotiation was
fair and they were great with emails/texts/phone calls as we managed the transaction traveling from VA
and NY. Their trade-in price was fair and couldn't be more pleased with the process and my vehicle.
Don't sleep on Budget Car Sales. They have A LOT of really nice cars on the lot priced well right off the
bat.

The crew at Budget Car Sales in Harrisburg, were friendly and knowledgeable. They made the transaction easy and
timely . The car was as described and we are very satisfied with the purchase and will recommend them highly.
Dec 1, 2023
I was told what I needed to get the car I wanted. We did it over the phone and I went to the dealership and picked my car up. It took about a half hour once I was there Grayson was great.
Excellent dealership with great prices and customer service! Greyson W. made our purchase experience enjoyable, quick and easy. After sending an inquiry, Greyson followed-up and was available to answer any questions I had regarding out-of-state purchases. We liked working with Greyson and purchased the vehicle. Our vehicle was delivered from PA to SC quickly with no issues - it was the best purchase experience I've ever had with a dealership! The Yukon was clean and exactly what I was expecting. Highly recommend Budget Car Sales of Harrisburg! Thank you Greyson!
Couldn't have been a better experience. Contacted Johnathan and he addressed all questions and requests very quickly. They held the car
for me as I was driving from a good distance, the transaction was seamless and they got me better rates than my bank could. Dealership
costs were low and my trade in was very fairly valued. I can wholeheartedly recommend this company! You guys are awesome and thanks a
lot!

I made my initial contact on CarGurus and the Dealer did contact me. Subsequently, I called the Representative (Johnathan) and he provided
the information I needed. At the Dealership, I found the Tesla for sale to be exactly as described and was clean and ready for my test-drive. I
did trade up my blue 2019 Tesla Model S for their 2022 Tesla Model S. I was satisfied with the negotiations. Johnathan who made the sale
and the owner of the Dealership were very helpful and made the overall purchasing experience good. I was very happy to drive off with my
new red Tesla Model S. I would recommend this Dealer.
May 17, 2023
The dealer gave me all of the information I was looking for on this car.
Great experience - they were super easy to work with, are totally setup for buyer from out of state
including shipping if you need, and have a great selection of low mileage lease returns that are in
excellent shape and priced extremely well. I will be recommending them to friends and considering
them for my own future purchases as well!
Feb 26, 2023
Good response from salespeople.
Aug 26, 2021
Fantastic cars and sales people. Very responsive friendly and honest. I would highly recommend them.
Jun 21, 2021
Great service! Raul Jimenez is the best salesman, He helped me with the deal and it went smoothly and quickly with no issues whatsoever I definitely recommend Raul.
Jun 7, 2021
Contacted me ASAP and told me if they have other inventory that matches my request they will be in contact.
Mar 8, 2021
They responded quickly and professionally. I decided not to purchase a Dodge Ram at this time, but I will defiantly contact them in the near future when I decide to purchase. Compared to others dealers I corresponded with, their prices were marked by CarGurus as "great" and I hope they remain the same when it is time for me to make a purchase.
Jan 19, 2021
This dealer isn't like the others. There was no haggling games, long delays, or pressure. Tom was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I had two concerns with some minor damage areas on this used truck and they took care of everything, no questions asked.
Jan 2, 2021
Great experience. Bought the truck!
Nov 4, 2020
Knowledgeable staff and excellent service.
Sep 14, 2020
Wonderful place to deal with.
Aug 23, 2020
Everything as advertised, car in nearly mint condition. Transaction was quick and efficient.
This was the best car buying experience we've ever had. We came in, were given the keys to "test drive as
long as we needed", paid 15% less than Fair Market Value, were given 14% more for our F150 trade-in than
Ford offered us and were done with paper-work in about 30 minutes. Tom was excellent - no pressure,
friendly, knowledgeable and not an over-talker. These vehicles on this lot are not stripped down, high
mileage, run-of-the-mill daily rental cars. These are low mileage (my Rebel had 9K miles), highly optioned,
extremely popular vehicles (e,g, Rebel, Rubicon, Powerwagon, etc.) coming off of short-term leases. All
their prices are labeled "Great Deal" on Car Gurus - its like a freakin candy store. It was well worth the 2
hour drive there. The only drawback is if you see the vehicle you want and it is still available - either reserve
it with a down payment or get there quickly. Popular models are gone within 24-36 hours. 100% refer this
dealership to my family and friends.
Jun 3, 2020
Good information but hope the price drops would like to buy the white g90
May 26, 2020
It was pleasant doing business with them
May 13, 2020
I called to get information about a White Corrolla. They had a black car/Corrolla posted. They were not interested in making a lower deal at all..
This is not your typical car dealership and if you can get past that, the experience is worthwhile. The truck I was interested in was set up inside for viewing and then I was free to test drive. The pricing is straight forward. Even though I was not able to agree on the trade in value I was shocked that Matt said he would buy my trade if I was unable to sell it on my own! Who does that.. Thanks Matt, so far so good with the 202 F 150 KR!
May 2, 2020
Very good
Apr 20, 2020
The dealer was quick to respond. The vehicle was as listed. The truck was ready for test driving. Could not make a deal.
Mar 24, 2020
Tom was excellent at providing detailed information. There was no pressure and straightforward discussion. I will use them in the future.
Dec 17, 2019
Matt was very helpful and went out of his way to go through the process of buying this car.

Dealer emailed, offered more pics and to answer questions. I did find JGC locally so didn't visit dealer but continued email correspondence until I responded I found one close to home.

I got an excellent deal here. The dealer Tom was pleasant to deal with. I definitely would do business here again!
Jun 15, 2019
Very good experience
Apr 25, 2019
Great experience! I would definitely recommend this dealership.
Mar 17, 2019
When you enter a place to purchase something, an employee there should greet you in a friendly and a helpful manner.
We were greeted as if we were not welcomed there by this tall, and blonde girl. At that moment, we knew that we were not going to do business with them.
The reason I am giving two stars is because a gentleman there helped us with our questions, but didn't even pull up a chair to speak to us properly.
This place has horrible customer service, and please avoid it if you are planning to buy a car from them.
Mar 14, 2019
Very helpful, highly recommend, a pleasant experience
Mar 12, 2019
The service was very reliable. I was able to test drive the car with no pressure. They asked me if I had questions and I was deciding on the car. This was my first car purchase and Amanda made the process very easy for me. I appreciate all the help everyone at budget gave me.
Feb 12, 2019
Very fast response
Feb 10, 2019
Great people, very helpful and Professional
I had a very positive experience at this dealership! Amanda responded right away and communicated with me throughout the process and was incredibly helpful. Unfortunately she was not in the day I went in to purchase the vehicle (which was exactly as described), but she had given Tom and Matt all the information and Tom greeted me and assisted with a test drive, etc. until Matt came with all the paperwork. Both gentlemen were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. I would highly recommend this dealership!
Oct 21, 2018
I did not end up purchasing only because I found a different vechile, but the customer service I received while looking with this dealership was wonderful.
Aug 12, 2018
Quick response but I had already committed and bought by the time I got the e mail response
Jul 18, 2018
I received a prompt reply from Amanda with the offer to send additional
information. I made an appointment through her and had a very
positive experience when I went there. There was no pressure. Tom
was very knowledgeable in explaining features of the car to me and in
the entire sales process saving me money and time. I highly
recommend Budget Car Sales of Harrisburg for the best price and
overall experience in buying a vehicle.
May 11, 2018
It was a pleasure dealing with them. We went there to look at a tahoe and saw they had a suburban. We purchased the surburban

I did get a response that both cars we were looking at were sold and I would be contacted about another similar car available and wasn't. So we took our business elsewhere.
Jun 5, 2017
Matt was very nice and fsir.Quick responses even over holiday.Love the new 2017 Jeep Overland.
May 28, 2017
What made me buy from here is the consistency of the dealer. Matt was nothing but helpful and persistent. I test drive it on a Thursday and purchased Friday. He made sure to follow up with me the very next day with any questions and concerns. Something that you don't find now days at these big dealerships especially when your just buying the car out and dealerships trying to force you to finance to get more money out of you. I would recommend anyone to this place of business their very helpful, consistent and persistent. Thanks for all you do.

Quick and easy
Feb 27, 2017
Pleasant all around they made the process easy and fast.
If you’re looking for a car or truck I say check them out first.
Dec 8, 2016
Very customer friendly and patient. No high pressure tactics.
Encouraged multiple test drives to compare. Will definitely go back
to them first.
Dec 2, 2016
Got back to me ASAP!

I am in my late 60's and have purchased many cars in my life. This has been, without a doubt, the most pleasurable car purchase experience for my wife and me. Everyone from the dealership was exceptionally courteous and professional, especially the sales manager, Matt, with whom we dealt. I initially called on a Thursday and test drove and negotiated the deal that day. I got the money I was looking for from my trade and the negotiations were more of me stating what I needed to make the deal work for me. Matt was very knowledgeable and accommodating and made the deal work for both parties. I have had the car for about 10 days now and I'm thoroughly pleased with my purchase, selection of dealership and the buying process. It was made all too easy for my wife and me. Thank you Matt, and your associates, for a great experience and I would highly recommend you and your organization to all those in the market for a car.

Dealer responded to email request for test-drive fairly quickly. He patiently
explained the features of the Prius C and recommended a test-drive route
that was a good mixture of highway and in-town driving. Even though I did
not buy the Prius C, I will check with this dealer's inventory before my next
used-car purchase.
Jul 22, 2016
Everything that was promised was delivered. This dealer was great to deal with and actually had a much bigger selection at outstanding prices. I was pleased and comfortable dealing with them. Well worth the 2 hour drive to get there. I strongly recommend you take a look. Jim
Jul 25, 2016
Response from current dealership:
Thanks Jim! It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife. I hope you guys are loving the "new" F150 Platinum!

I received a call back from the dealership based on an inquiry. Being extremely sensitive to cigarette smoke, I asked for a subjective opinion about whether or not there was any residual, even very faint, smoke odor. I explained that we were on our way up from over an hour away, and would not be interested and would be very disappointed, if we got all that way and were able to detect smoke. Not only did the gentleman go sit in the car himself, but he took another employee with him to get his opinion as well! He gave me his honest opinion that there had been smoking based upon a very faint odor, thus saving me a long drive, but more importantly giving me a very valuable sense that this dealership had integrity and was honest! I will only consider cars from dealerships that are rated very well, and I would strongly recommend this one based on the short but very appreciated interaction that we had! Hoping they will find something I'd be interested in!

Great experience. Offered best price on trade and even put new tires on truck. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a vehicle. Very professional.

Response from current dealership:
We are pleased to earn your business Gerald! Enjoy the new truck!
Apr 23, 2016
They never called me about the car. I called them and nothing went the way i wanted. They denied me and i feel like they really didnt try to help. I went to a Legit dealer and got approved and got a new car.
Apr 28, 2016
Response from current dealership:
Erick- we are sorry that a deal could not be made. Considering you are a vendor for our body shop, and in here a few times a week, we talked with you in person rather than on the phone. The credit unions we work with are the ones that denied the deal, not us.
Apr 9, 2016
Great prices. Awesome service.
Willing to work with you!
Apr 28, 2016
Response from current dealership:
Thanks for the kind words Josh! Enjoy the Mustang this summer!
Apr 6, 2016
Matt and Kris are exceptional salesmen. I didn't feel pressured to buy
something and they really took the stress of buying a car out of the
equation. Matt helped me understand the loan information and car
warranty while Kris showed me all the features the car had to offer,
including taking his time to go on a short test drive with me. The car was
exactly what I was looking for but the way Kris and Matt helped the
process along, including me in the conversation and not speaking to me
like I was a walking dollar sign really made the difference. Thank you!
Apr 28, 2016
Response from current dealership:
Wow! You are too kind Miss L! We appreciate your business. Send your friends down to see us!!
Mar 12, 2016
Matt was very good to deal with.
