My Review of Land Rover South Bay:
Some people choose this place because it has a slightly larger selection than some of the other smaller dealers but the people here are quite unfriendly and dishonest. I bought a used car and when I took it home and had a mechanic look at it, a bunch of things (including the horn, cruise control, etc.) were broken and when I asked them about it, they said that they hadn't noticed them and they weren't a big deal. During the deal, they bullied me and my mother into put the car in my mother's name who lives on the east coast and then kept changing the numbers. There were people there picking up new cars who were also very displeased- one lady had custom ordered a new ranger rover with special wheels and she had pre-paid extra for the wheels. Instead they had ordered the car without the special wheels (hoping to pocket the extra 4000) and were hoping she would take the car anyways.
And if you must go there, pay cash - do not finance. They lie to the lenders and they lie to the customers - they loans are often not finalized even after you pick up the car and they keep changing the numbers. If you notice, they'll get angry at you and try to come up with some diversionary argument. The only customers who were even somewhat happy there were ones who paid with cash ( and even a lot of those were unhappy.)
If you live in southern califronia, there is a great dealership in thousand oaks (very honest and straightfoward) and one in encino (this one is actually one of the largest in southern california.)
Hope this helps someone! Good luck finding your perfect car if this is why you are looking at reviews!
