BEWARE. - jeffrey

BEWARE. Selma Mazda owes me $500 from my June 2024 purchase of a 2024 Mazda CX-90. I previously bought a 2021 Mazda CX-5, so I was entitled to receive the rebate. After doggedly pursuing the rebate every month, I am NO CLOSER to receiving the funds. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. When I purchased the vehicle, brand-new, it was covered with a large layer of dust, so when I drove it off of the lot, I did not notice the SCRATCHES above the passenger door, nor the water STAINS on the hood which they tried to fix, but could not. So my BRAND NEW car came damaged. I have since heard or spoken with others who had a negative experience at Selma Mazda, and they tell me to visit another brand. The fact that they swindled me out of $500 is criminal.

Excellence Buying Experience - casasean

SLP Motor Co. Took all the guess work out of buying a new car. They negotiated the sale the financing as well as selling my trade, allowing me to buy wholesale & sell my old car Retail. Great Experience!!

Honest place. - nvmemsmith22

Honest place. Allowed me to take the vehicle to get 3rd party inspection & deducted it off the purchase price.

Easy Buying Experience - Gbbimmer951

Most car dealers are high pressure or force you into a purchase you’re not happy with. Phil and the team at So Cal Performance are the exact opposite. The whole experience was easy and low pressure. They had the truck I wanted at an amazing price, got me financed easily and played no games. I recommend everyone use these guys.

Wow, did I hit the jackpot with this sales-guy, JAY. - Veganforgood

Wow, did I hit the jackpot with this sales-guy, JAY. He had his little all ready to tell, perfect, from how he used to be in law enforcement to how now he's retired and sells cars on the side for fun. How every used car salesperson is a professional liar and cheat and how he just couldn't understand how anyone could be that way - how did they sleep at night after treating good people so badly all day long? After spending most of the morning with this joker discussing the car I wanted and all the nonsense you get when buying a car, I asked him about the timing belt, asked if we could reduce the price by $500 because it would need replacing within a couple thousand miles. Up to this point he'd thought of everything: had all the paperwork with vehicle history, receipts, photos.. everything you could possibly ask for. He also had a photo of the date that the timing belt had been replaced, that was after saying he didn't have proof of that - somehow he finally found a picture of the year it had been replaced. IT WAS was 11 YEARS AGO. ELEVEN. Maybe he was hoping I wouldn't notice the year and just see the date. So that's when I asked for the $500 discount which is very reasonable knowing that repair would easily cost upwards of $1000. He was quiet for quite a long time and finally said that he had decided I wasn't the right person for the car. SO, here's my advice. Don't let them know you're smarter than they are or that you've caught them in a lie or discrepancy because if you do, they get their little feewings hurt and WILL NOT SELL YOU THE VEHICLE.

Amazingly quick and professional sales team - JB

Many cars to choose from. Collection of clean and salvage titles that I didn't see it on the web advertisement. They let me take to the body shop I trust to review the vehicle and then to Ford to have them inspect it. We agreed on a purchase price and David handled the purchase paperwork professionally and quickly. Overall the dealership gets a high rating because they seemed to me simple and accommodating.

Mr. Wright was the best car dealer I ever worked with. ... - 4happyone8

Mr. Wright was the best car dealer I ever worked with. We were going to leave as we saw no Accords for $10,000. My son had his heart set on one. Steve then pointed us in the direction of an Acura (2003) and told us it was made by Honda and all of the details. He was patient and kind. We did not feel any pressure. I felt like he really wanted to help. We ended up getting the car that day even though we were intent on shopping longer. Steve and his Manager Sean Ford worked with us on our used car trade in and we felt happy with the price they came up with. Then the Financial Manager offered us the 3 year comprehensive repair plan for a certain price and we bought it now feeling secure that we REALLY had a great deal. My 21 year old had saved since he was 16 to purchase his first car as he was using my old 1993 Honda and it meant the world to him to find a great deal, meet new friends and love the car! Thank you so very much.

Dishonest dealer - Swamp Fox

I purchased a car from Star European and the owner is everything bad when you think of a sleazy used car salesman. He lied about the condition of the car purchased, deliberately covered up damage to the car to sell it and said something broken would be fixed but was not. The hidden damage cost many thousands to repair. I would highly discourage anyone that values their money from purchasing a car at Star European.

I recently purchased a new vehicle from Stevens Creek - Karen Peskar

I recently purchased a new vehicle from Stevens Creek Cadillac. Purchasing another Cadillac was in large part due to the fact that Josh Ortega is my service advisor. Josh is very helpful, resourceful and goes the extra mile for his service customers. This is my 5th vehicle purchase through this dealership and I have to say that it was the smoothest buying experience to date. Our salesman, Phil Davis was exceptional in every aspect of the process. He went above and beyond to secure the exact vehicle that I wanted, actually driving to Roseville to pick up the car personally. He had the car ready the next day, coming in on his day off to deliver my new car. Working with the outstanding sales manager, Michael Nieve, they gave me a great deal and fair trade-in price for my current car. Michael was very good about following-up and streamlining the buying process. Dennis in finance completed the necessary paperwork within 15 minutes. They were not only incredibly professional and efficient, they were all very pleasant to work with and this is why I will continue to purchase my vehicles through this dealership, as well as their affiliate dealerships.

Disappointed by the team. - NicoB

Disappointed by the team. Bought a car there, they did some small damage to it after i signed all the paperwork (but i didn't see it right away). Mentioned it to the sales person afterwards that told me that the manager will get back to me (manager that promised me that he'll pay for any repairs that they missed before i got the car as he was 100% confident in the quality of the car). Nobody called me back... I guess they're the stereotypical used car salesman

Unprofessional and xxxxxxx owner and salesperson. - Haochun Sun

Unprofessional and xxxxxxx owner and salesperson. They will try to mislead you into putting a deposit down and won't give you your money back. Don't purchase a car from these people

Rip off scammers and rude! - Ripped off at Taylor Motors

This is part 3 of an ongoing nightmare. See yelp for parts one and two. Here is part 3 of the car buying purchase experience from he**. I had a few conversations with GM corporate customer service. He was very nice and clearly is not happy with how I was treated. I sent him screen prints proving I was on the Costco auto purchase program at the time I was at Taylor Motors being told not to click send or I lose the $4500 manufacturer's rebate. He called me back and suggested I call Brent Taylor @ Taylor Motors. He feels confident that no GM would be okay with that kind of lie or customer treatment. So I called - and eventually was able to get through to him. I put the phone on speaker so that 1) I didn't accidently hang up on him and 2) so my husband could hear the call. He began the conversation with lies and ended it the same way. In between, he went on a rant that I messed up their perfect record and he doesn't like me (who cares?) and that he knew everything that occurred at the time it occurred. I never got more than a couple of words in ....His excuse for the Costco certificate denial - was that maybe it was not usable with that rebate. I pointed out that was not the case. He asked if I was now an expert in the topic of car sales and rebates. I told him of course not but that I have looked into the sale and rebates of this vehicle..... I asked for a copy of the invoice. He agreed but would not email it. No, no one else can come get it. I explained I was out of town nearly every day for 2 weeks. He replied with I don't like you, why should I be helpful to you in any way? Very professional for a 6 year old. Not so much for an adult. I would sum up my conversation (actually his rant) like this..... the higher up in that dealership you go, the more dishonest, rude and unpleasant the people become. At least JR Ball was pleasant when he lied to me. One always hopes that there's a person at the top of the food chain that is mature and objective and cares about the business as a whole and as such would do the right thing given the opportunity. Not so the case here. This man/child was a bully, aggressive, loud, rude and childish. He figures if he scares me enough i won't go back for that paper or anything else. He is right - life is too short to go somewhere knowing you will be abused. At least common thieves are smiling when they are sneaking the wallet out of your pocket. I have reported them to Costco and suggested that no longer send customers to that dealership. I guess I have to decide whether to take them to court or not let them have one more precious moment of my life. Dan asked what I was thinking trusting car salesmen, the sad question is really, what am I doing trusting anyone outside of my close family/friends circle? Sad but darn good question. Do yourselves a favor and 1) avoid this dealership at all costs and 2) research every little question ahead of time and do not trust a word spoken by a dealership empoyee or owner. Assume that if their mouths are moving, they are lying!

I had a great experience! - Olga

I had a great experience! Rayan and AJ explained every detail of the deal, and made the process very easy! In the end got my Chevy Cruze exactly by the price that was advertised. Car is clean and drives smoothly. Will recommend this dealership to my friends!

I spoke to this dealership after the new year. - Susie

I spoke to this dealership after the new year. I had originally reached out to them on New Year’s Eve, and they were closed until January 2. Someone did return my call. I got the information I needed on the specific vehicle but I ended up purchasing elsewhere. Not because of anything they did or did did not do but I was seriously looking for a specific model, and there were three with a 40 mile radius of my home.

Buyer Beware - disappointed_by_autovaut

BUYER BEWARE. We found a vehicle being sold by The Auto Vault on Craigslist, and visited them shortly after to view it. The staff at The Auto Vault were friendly, and they showed us a great selection of high-end BMW stock. The vehicle had recently been detailed, and they assured us their team of mechanics had inspected it thoroughly for problems. We asked about issues within the electrical system and air conditioner, as both components are known to have problems on this model vehicle (2010 BMW 335xi); The Auto Vault assured us that their inspection had found no issues, and we made the purchase without further inspection. Upon purchasing the vehicle we found that it had no floor mats (they weren't being detailed), only one key, and that the luxury package they claimed it had did not exist. None of which had been explained to us, and some of which we had been mislead to believe. Within a week of purchase the on board computer began to shut off intermittently during driving, so we decided to take it to a mechanic to diagnose the problem. The mechanic explained to us that their was significant rust on the underside of the vehicle and that some of the wiring had corroded through; none of which had been mentioned by The Auto Vault. We spoke with them again, and while things remained friendly, continued to believe their guarantees about the vehicle's state. Some months later (3) the air conditioner stopped working. It was at this point that we asked our mechanic to make a more detailed inspection, and to test the various electrical modules. The mechanic found significant electrical problems throughout all modules of the vehicle (including safety features), and determined that the air conditioner's evaporator had a leak which had been refilled before sale. The mechanic assured us that the issues he found pre-dated the purchase of our vehicle, and that any qualified mechanic would have uncovered them upon inspection. It was at this point that The Auto Vault stopped responding to our communications, and we had to pursue the issue through the Better Business Bureau (complaint: bbb.org/sacramento/busin…). The Better Business Bureau moderated communication between us and The Auto Vault, but ultimately found that they had fulfilled the requirements of the contract we had signed. They mentioned that cases of this type are typical, but that they are not a legislative body, and so were unable to pursue a fraud case against them. The Better Business Bureau also recommended that we pursue the issue with the DMV body responsible for licensing dealers, and in small claims court. I would recommend for anyone considering purchasing a vehicle from The Auto Vault that they find a more reputable dealer better able to guarantee their products. It was a mistake to trust The Auto Vault, and a bigger one to sign a contract an As-Is contract with them. BUYER BEWARE

Awesome place to find good deals, they let you browse the lot without being pushy and answer all the questions that I had. Would defiantly recommend at least checking it out.

Very laid back, charming sales approach. You will not be... - califBUYER

Very laid back, charming sales approach. You will not be pressured, which makes is hard to get a good price because you'll have to initiate. Better study up on how to get a good price, because they are so nice and so charming that you'll feel like buying from them. Stay cool. But overall, not a bad place to buy a used car.

Thanks for this email, unfortunately I haven't been to - Violet

Thanks for this email, unfortunately I haven't been to the dealership. However the dealer I spoke to was very helpful when I spoke with him. He sent me the website for future reference.

Worse experience ever. - Carguy

Overpriced. And high mileage. Scammers. Want a lot of money down. Not worth it. Friendly but are not trying to help others. Go look elsewhere .

I had been mulling over getting a new BMW for some time... - dkorotie

I had been mulling over getting a new BMW for some time and decided to go test drive one. I was given attention immediately. I drove the car and had a number of things explained. After some time I was given an offer for my trade in and what payments would be. I was unhappy with the offer because it was not specific enough, but I went home to think it over. I was contacted the next day but was away and did not get the call before closing time. I was contacted the next day and went back. I was offered pricing on another BMW and they altered the offer some, at least enough for me to rethink the deal. I have always hated haggling over a car, the price, etc. and am usually disgusted by the time I settle, but this time I felt I had been treated fairly, and although I could have gone elsewhere and maybe obtained a better deal, I was content to take what we settled on. I did not feel pressured and the sales and financial people were friendly and efficient.
