At Homer Skelton Hyundai, we didn’t create Express Buying for us — we created it for you.
We listened to what customers were saying: the car-buying process felt outdated, exhausting, and unpredictable. So we studied industry data, online reviews, and national surveys to better understand what modern buyers actually want.
Here’s what we found — and how Express Buying changes the game.
You’re Doing the Research
-
The average car shopper spends 14+ hours researching online (Autotrader).
-
87% say online reviews and ratings influence their decision (Edmunds).
-
38% use social media to help choose a dealership (J.D. Power).
Today’s buyers are informed — and they expect the dealership experience to match the work they’ve already done.
You Don’t Want to Negotiate
-
56% of buyers would rather avoid negotiating altogether (Cox Automotive).
-
61% say dealerships need to be more transparent on pricing (CarGurus).
-
80% are more likely to buy when pricing is clear and upfront (CarGurus).
That’s why our Express Buying model is built around a one-price philosophy. What you see online is the price — period. Our managers are not allowed to change it, even if they wanted to.
You Want a Fair, Verified Trade-In
Most people are skeptical of trade values. We don’t blame them.
So instead of guessing or lowballing, we use Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer (KBB ICO). We submit your VIN, condition, and photos directly to KBB — and they give us your offer. Trusted. Independent. Transparent.
You Don’t Want to Wait All Day
-
The average car-buying process takes 4+ hours (J.D. Power).
-
63% of buyers say they’d be more likely to buy if the process was faster (Cars.com).
With Express Buying, you’ll have your full out-the-door numbers — including trade, taxes, fees, and financing — in 30 minutes or less.
You Want to Choose Who You Work With
-
83% of buyers want to choose their salesperson before arriving (Cox Automotive).
-
72% say they'd be more likely to return to a salesperson they trust (J.D. Power).
That’s why we don’t call them salespeople — they’re Solutions Providers. Their role isn’t to push — it’s to guide. They’re your consistent point of contact from start to finish, helping you find the best fit for your lifestyle, budget, and preferences.
You Want the Option to Do It All Online
-
71% want to complete the process online or start at home (Cox Automotive).
-
75% want home test drives or delivery (J.D. Power).
-
66% would switch brands for a better digital experience (Facebook IQ).
Express Buying makes it easy to start at home and finish how you want — online, in-store, or a mix of both. You choose the pace and the path.
Built Around What Matters to You
We designed Express Buying to be:
-
Fast: Get your numbers in 30 minutes.
-
Simple: One price. One contact. Zero games.
-
Friendly: No pressure. No pushy tactics.
-
Fair: Transparent pricing, trusted trade values, and honest answers.
We didn’t create this process to follow trends. We built it because you deserve better — and we believe you’ll feel the difference the moment you walk through our doors (or start online).
That’s what Express Buying is all about.
Come experience it for yourself.
