Swung by Easterns Automotive Group in Rosedale over the weekend since a few people here asked about them. They keep around 102 vehicles, mostly in-house financing (buy-here-pay-here). They were totally fine with my mechanic doing a once-over, which honestly settles half the trust question.
Lot address: 7916 Pulaski Hwy, Rosedale, MD 21237. Visitor parking: Customer lot on Pulaski Hwy. Website: https://easterns.com. Board status: verified / trusted dealer.
Paper side: licensed with the state (looked it up), about 78% of stock has title in hand per the office, and they offer no warranty — as-is, but any inspection welcome.
Overall: good people to deal with. 10 years in business around in-house financing (buy-here-pay-here), doc fee $349 and it's on the window sheet, no games. I'd send a family member there.
