About Our Business

Car Corral was established in the early 1970's by
previous owner John David Baker. Born and raised in
poverty in Lincoln, Missouri, John began his teenage
years selling furniture at a local furniture store and
peddling old vehicles on the side. He started his business
in Sedalia, Missouri, with only three other
preowned-vehicle dealerships in the area. John built his
reputation in the automotive business over the last 30+
years mostly by word-of-mouth and repeat customers.

In March, 2002, Marcia Baker, John's only daughter,
took over and incorporated the business with short-term
and long-term goals in mind. Marcia came into the
business with 18-years experience in the automotive
industry and automotive finance, including completion of
American Financial & Automotive Services Automotive
Training Academy in League City, Texas. Along with 10+
years automotive management experience in North
Kansas City, Missouri, she had a strong foundation for
expansion and success.

Second-generation ownership began by demolishing the
existing 25- year old 150 square foot building and
purchasing a 2500 square foot concrete building located
just 100 feet to the west, doubling our inventory, lot and
building square footage!

Now, over 30+ years family owned and operated, the
Car Corral offers In-House Financing and Bank Financing
on over 100 preowned cars, trucks, vans and SUV's in
inventory. Cash buyer or have your own financing? You
will be happy too know that you can buy almost anything
on the lot at wholesale value or less!
