Made the drive to Prairie Motor Cars in Overland Park — posting notes since this board runs on receipts. They keep around 42 vehicles, mostly 4x4 and off-road rigs. They were totally fine with my mechanic doing a once-over, which honestly settles half the trust question.
Lot address: 551 Trailhead Rd, Overland Park, KS. Visitor parking: Front-lot customer stalls facing the office; overflow on the side street near Overland Park lot gate.
Paper side: licensed with the state (looked it up), about 84% of stock has title in hand per the office, and they offer a 6-month powertrain warranty on newer units.
Overall: good people to deal with. 4 years in business around 4x4 and off-road rigs, doc fee $299 and it's on the window sheet, no games. I'd send a family member there.
