If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I drove all the way from Muskegon after seeing this green Subaru Crosstrek on Facebook Marketplace. Despite my showing up at the very end of the day and having to make a fuss with my bank, Brian got my financing finished quickly and painlessly and I got to head home with my dream car within an hour! Unfortunately, about halfway back to Muskegon, the dashboard lit up with a transmission error and I had to have it towed the rest of the way home. That said, I gave them a call the next day and they had someone come pick it up and haul it back to the lot, where they replaced the transmission at no cost to me. I've been driving it for about three months now and everything is working great. I cannot overstate how great the customer service from Capitol Auto Sales was and would highly recommend them!

We had a great experience working with Brian at Capitol Auto in Lansing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and completely low-pressure, which made the whole process easy and comfortable. We ended up purchasing a 2018 Nissan Altima, and the experience was exactly what we were looking for—no stress, no pushy sales tactics, just honest help and good vibes. If you’re looking for a smooth, straightforward car-buying experience, we highly recommend Brian and the team at Capitol Auto.

We stumbled upon this website while looking for a very specific used car. At first we were a little skeptical as this appeared to be a small used car lot. Don’t let their looks fool you. They have an ample selection of nice vehicles. The ones we were looking at were all one owner vehicles in great shape with no accidents. They were very transparent throughout the process. Darius was very professional and helpful. Jason was very knowledgeable on the vehicle we were looking at and very helpful as well. We walked away with the vehicle we were looking for at a great price and completely satisfied. We will definitely be back when we need another vehicle!

Auto Buyer's Guide – Capitol Auto Sales
Shopping for a vehicle at Capitol Auto Sales in Lansing, Michigan? Follow these steps to buy with confidence.
1
Pull the vehicle history report
Run a CARFAX or AutoCheck report using the VIN before you visit. Look for accident history, odometer rollbacks, and title brands like salvage or flood. Ask Capitol Auto Sales if a report is available for any listing.
2
Take a thorough test drive
Drive on both city streets and the highway. Accelerate hard. Brake firmly. Listen for any clunks, vibrations, or warning lights. Test the AC, heat, and all electronics during the drive.
3
Inspect for hidden wear
Check for uneven panel gaps, mismatched paint, or overspray — signs of past bodywork. Push on each corner of the car to test the shocks. Look underneath for frame damage, fluid leaks, or rust.
4
Get a pre-purchase inspection
Have a trusted mechanic inspect any used vehicle before you buy. A $100–$150 PPI can uncover issues that save you thousands. Ask Capitol Auto Sales if a third-party inspection is permitted.
5
Negotiate the out-the-door price
Focus on the total out-the-door price, not the monthly payment. Understand every fee on the sales contract before signing. Dealer add-ons like paint protection and VIN etching are negotiable at Capitol Auto Sales.
