Cars that just got traded in
Somebody trades a car in on Tuesday. It goes to the shop, waits its turn for photos, and shows up online a week or two later. For that whole stretch you have no way of knowing it exists. I'm standing right next to it.
Car Salesman · Huntsville & Madison County, Alabama
I'm Nate Morris, and I sell cars at Landers McLarty Chevrolet in Huntsville. When a car gets traded in, it sits for a week or two before anybody photographs it and puts it up. Some never get posted at all. Tell me what you're after and I'll check the places you can't get to.
New and used Chevys, trucks and SUVs — and plenty that aren't Chevys — for buyers in Huntsville, Madison, Athens and Decatur, found by a salesperson who's standing on the lot when the trades pull in.
Where these cars come from
Every one of these is a phone call, not a website. That's exactly why they turn up cars nobody else is bidding on.

Landers McLarty isn't one rooftop, and Huntsville isn't one dealership. I've got people who'll pick up when I call and tell me what came in this week. That's not access you can buy — it comes from four years of being straight with the folks I work around.
Plenty of folks run the numbers, figure they'd do better selling it themselves, and drive home in the same car. They usually mention it on the way out. That car is for sale — just nowhere you'd ever think to look.
I stay in touch with the people I've sold to. Some are quietly ready for something different and haven't listed a thing. Often a text from me is the first move anybody makes on that car.
How it works
About three minutes on your phone. No credit check, no Social Security number, and nobody calls you before you're ready.
My lot on University Drive, the stores where I know people, and the customers I've kept up with. There's no shortcut to this part — it's a lot of phone calls and knowing who to make them to.
Usually two or three real options with real numbers, side by side. Sometimes only one. And if the smart move is waiting a few weeks, I'll tell you that.
If you want it, I'll handle the paperwork, the financing and your trade. If you don't, you're out three minutes and you know the market better than you did this morning.
Where your information goes
Most car sites run what you fill out through a lead system. That's not a knock on them — it's how a request gets in front of somebody who can act on it. The trade-off is that your information travels, and you can end up hearing from more people than you meant to. This one doesn't travel. It comes straight to my phone and that's the end of the trip.

Nate Morris · Landers McLarty Chevrolet, Huntsville
Be as picky as you want. The more specific you are, the better I can match it. "Not sure yet" is a perfectly good answer too.
Rough numbers are fine. I'd rather know your real comfort zone than show you something that wastes your Saturday. Nothing here touches your credit.
If you're trading something in, it changes the math on everything else — so it's worth a couple of quick questions.
I'll text you once with what I find. If you want to keep going from there, just say so. If you don't, you won't hear from me again.

Who you're dealing with
Four strong years at Landers McLarty Chevrolet — my home dealership, on University Drive in Huntsville. Around here we treat folks like family, and I'd be honored to show you why this ought to be your home dealership too.
Whether you're chasing horsepower in a Corvette or you need a truck that can haul and hustle, that's the call I want. I'll be plain about what I am, though: there's no magic to this. I'm standing on a lot when trades pull in, I know people doing this same job at other stores, and you can walk in and find me on a Tuesday.
If what you want happens to be a Chevy, I'd love to hand you the keys myself. If it isn't, I'll start calling around anyway. Let's ride.
Recently found
Not listings — searches that ended well. A few of the vehicles I've helped buyers around Huntsville and Madison County track down.
Where I search
I'm based at the Chevy store on University Drive, and the search runs outward from there. If you live in any of these towns I can get a vehicle to you — or tell you honestly that the one you're after isn't worth the drive.
Straight answers
Yes. I sell at Landers McLarty Chevrolet, 4930 University Drive NW in Huntsville. Most of my customers live in Huntsville and Madison, and I'll come to you if that's easier.
Yes — that's most of what I do. Trucks and third-row SUVs are the two hardest things to find around here and the two I get asked for most. Tell me the make, the miles you'd accept and roughly what you want to spend, and I'll start calling.
Those are the easy ones. I sell Chevrolet at Landers McLarty, so if you want a Silverado, a Tahoe, a Traverse, an Equinox or a Corvette I can usually hand you the keys myself. If the exact trim and color you want isn't on our lot, I can generally locate it.
That's the whole reason this exists. If it isn't on my lot I check the stores where I know people, the trades that came in this week and haven't been posted, and customers who've been thinking about selling. If it genuinely isn't out there right now, I'll tell you that — and tell you whether waiting a few weeks is the smarter move.
No obligation, ever — sending a request doesn't commit you to anything. And yes to both: tell me what you're driving and roughly what you owe and I'll work your trade into the numbers from the start. If you want financing, that paperwork happens at the dealership when you decide to buy.
Nothing. There's no fee to you. I get paid the way any salesperson does — by the dealership, when a car actually sells. If I never find you anything, you never owe me a dime.
Chevrolet is what I sell and what I know best. But every Chevy store takes in trades of every make, so a Toyota, a Ford, a Honda or a Ram can just as easily be sitting on our used lot. And if what you want isn't there, I start calling the stores I know. You'll get an honest comparison, not a pitch for whatever happens to be sitting out front.
Huntsville and Madison County first — Huntsville, Madison, Harvest, Meridianville, New Market, Owens Cross Roads and Gurley — plus Athens, Ardmore, Decatur, Hartselle and Arab. If the right vehicle turns up farther out, I'll tell you what it costs to go get it or have it brought in, and you can decide.
Those show you cars that have already been photographed and posted. A trade-in usually sits a week or two before that happens, and some never get posted at all. I'm standing on the lot when those cars pull in. I also know people at other stores who'll tell me what came in this week, and I keep up with customers who are quietly ready to sell.
No, and I want to be plain about that. I'm a car salesman at a licensed franchise dealership — not a broker, not an independent dealer. In Alabama the dealer holds the license, not the salesperson. When a vehicle comes from another store, that dealership is the seller on your paperwork. I'm the person who found it and walked it through.
Not to start a search. No credit application is taken on this site, nothing here runs a credit check, and I never ask for your Social Security number on this page. If you decide to buy and want financing, that paperwork happens later, at the dealership.
Within 24 hours, usually the same day. I'll text you once with what I found. If you want to keep going, say so. If you don't, you won't hear from me again.
Often, yes — and if I can't, I'll say so instead of dragging you through a Saturday. Tell me roughly what you owe and roughly where your credit sits, and I'll tell you honestly whether the numbers work now or whether you're better off waiting a few months.
Landers McLarty Chevrolet, 4930 University Drive NW, Huntsville, AL 35816. I'm there most days — walk in and ask for Nate. Texting 931-308-2927 first usually saves you a trip.
It comes to my phone by text and stops there. It isn't run through a lead system, isn't split between several salespeople, and is never sold. There's no account to create and this page loads no analytics or ad trackers. Text the word DELETE to 931·308·2927 and your request is gone the same day.
