About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular stopped by Country Pre-Owned one morning, curious about an old truck parked near the entrance. The license plate read ‘USED ONCE,’ but what caught his eye was the note on the windshield: 'FOR SALE BY OWNER.' The regular approached the truck and asked the owner if it really had only been used once. With a twinkle in his eye, the seller replied, 'Well, sir, that's because I drove it just far enough to get here!' The regular laughed heartily and walked away, shaking his head—another day, another Amarillo legend.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Country Pre-Owned one afternoon, puzzled by a peculiar sight on the loading dock. Among the usual assortment of used cars and trucks sat a small wooden crate, its label reading simply ‘Free Lucky Penny.’ Curious, he picked it up—only to hear a faint tinkling sound inside. He opened the crate carefully, expecting maybe some old coins or trinkets. Instead, out popped a tiny green parrot with big eyes and an even bigger beak, squawking, "Hey there, friend!" The delivery driver laughed, scratched his head, and said to no one in particular, 'Well, looks like I just got myself a lucky penny—and a noisy neighbor!'
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Country Pre-Owned, puzzled by a strange humming sound coming from inside. He peered through the window and saw rows of cars glowing softly in the dark, as if they were whispering secrets to each other. Curious, he opened the door, and suddenly all the cars fell silent. A voice whispered, ‘Finally someone’s here!’ Startled, he looked around but saw only an old janitor, mopping the floor. Turns out, every time a new employee arrived, the cars would greet them with their eerie hum.’
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Country Pre-Owned, puzzled by a strange sign in the window: ‘USED CARS—ALL PRICES NEGOTIABLE, INCLUDING YOUR NEXT PAYCHECK.’ Entering cautiously, he found an old man behind the counter, who greeted him warmly and asked if he was interested in trading his soul for a car. The delivery driver laughed it off, but soon realized that every vehicle had a price tag with a smiley face next to it—and the prices were astronomical. As he left, the old man winked and said, 'Just remember, honeymooners get the best deals!'
