If I could give them a double zero rating, I would. Don't buy a car from them unless you want thousands of dollars added to your contract (hidden) without you knowing it. They have you sign on a tabl More

Ideal Cars responded

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that your visit didn’t meet expectations. We want to clarify that all of our advertised prices clearly state that they do not include tax, title, license, a reconditioning fee, or other applicable charges. This is industry standard and is disclosed in our advertising and on our website. The reconditioning fee helps cover the cost of inspection and improvements we make to ensure our vehicles meet safety and performance standards. Regarding the tires and overall vehicle condition, we strive to offer reliable pre-owned vehicles, and we welcome any customer to bring up concerns during inspection. We’re also open to reviewing and negotiating all reasonable offers—we want every customer to feel they received fair value. We understand how important trust is when buying a vehicle and take your feedback seriously. If you'd like to discuss your concerns further or give us another opportunity, we’re happy to talk and make things right. Thank you again for the feedback.
