Integrity Autopark: Duggars' New Lot

To prepare for his future family, Josh started Champion Motorcars, a pre-owned car lot that sells "quality pre-owned vehicles, wholesale to the public," in 2007.
After Josh and Anna married, both began working at the dealership, and business took off. Just last year, the couple opened a second lot on land rented from a bank. As shown in the episode Duggars in the Zone, the bank recently refused Josh's offer to purchase the property and forced the Duggars to vacate the premises. Josh and Anna immediately set out to search for a new location. That's when they found the Taco Lot. The dealership, called Integrity Autopark, should be open to the public in the very near future.

Do you buy used cars or new cars?

  1. All used for me. My closest to new car had about 35,000 miles, the one I have now came with 102,000 miles.

  2. Quick correction-Josh & Anna were married in 2008, not 2007.

  3. According to website they have been open since 1999.Does anyone know if that means Jim Bob owned the orginial car lot first and then gave or sold the car lot to Josh?

  4. In 25 years we've only bought 2 cars...1 when we got married, and then the replacement for that one 15 years later! Both were new. We try to take very good car of them and limit the mileage (which also limits the gas costs!). We are just now looking to replace our almost 11 year old mini van. I don't feel comfortable buying used from the car lots in my area - I feel like I just can't trust them. However, I think if we lived near Springdale Arkansas I'd feel very comfortable about buying a used car from Josh and Anna!! We actually browsed the inventory on their lot last week!

  5. My family always buys used cars. Even before we heard about the Duggars, I think our unspoken motto was also, "Buy used, and save the difference"! Since Dad is so knowledgeable about these things, I've always felt comfortable about driving around in a used car. We buy our cars from an auction where you can get pretty good deals! :) The (used) car that we bought just under a year ago was only 18 months old, in VERY good condition! Buying this particular car used has saved us around $10,000!!!

  7. My Husband and I just bought a old car that looked pretty new. (: Even though it had been driven in before, we called it a 'new' car! Because, compared to our very rickety old car...this car seems VERY new!! :p
    We just thank God for it, it's def. a really great car.

  8. We usually don't have the money to buy new, so we buy used with less than 50,000 miles that are in good shape. Last car I had like that (white Buick Century) lasted me 10 yrs before the transmission and electrical system went. We just bought a used 2006 Hyundai Sonata with 37,000 miles on it for $9,900.

  9. We always buy used cars. We bought our current car in cash (Praise the Lord!) so we still have no debt, but are able to fit all 3 kids with room for 2 more! (another Praise the Lord!) Buying used and saving the difference has really helped us keep from having loads of debt.
