Nice site. I see there's a lot content work to be completed so I won't comment on the "coming soon" stuff.
1. map.html: Links to external sites should open in new windows. Your site can get lost and the visitor may not be able to easily get back to your. Append external links with (target="_blank"). Additionally, and this is just a personal preference. I like it when I'm offered a "Print these Directions" link without having to print the whole page.
2. All Pages: I'm not sure about the centered text. If it was me, I would center any headers I had and keep my paragraphs left aligned. Cushion as necessary with CSS or tables.
3. about.html: Love the idea of the picture of the cars, I just don't like how distorted it is. I would resize it so it fills the cell without being distorted.
4. about.html: You say your vehicles, "Our vehicles pass a rigorous safety and mechanical check prior to being placed on the sales floor. " Personally, I'd like to know what those safety and mechanical checks are. It's a good paragraph to have as it's a service you perform, but not expanding on what exactly is done with these checks will be confusing. You use the word "check" which could mean you check 1 safety item and 1 mechanical item.
5. financing.html: In the text it says "Give us a call....", but I have to look around for the phone number. Drop your phone number after that in parenthesis so you viewers don't have to scroll around looking.
6. I'm not too crazy about the hover color of you navigation links. Maybe hover to black or something other than red on red.
7. There's no contact form or email links to contact you via the Internet. At the very least drop a easily accessible Email link on every page I can click on to get in touch with you. If not that, then a dedicated "Contact Us" page preferably with a formal contact form and every single way to get in touch with you.
