My Preferred Auto Sales reviewWow! What can I say I read some of the reviews here and kept my guards up. They couldn’t be more honest with me. They buy, service and sell quakitybused cars. However when buying high mileage vehicles you always taking a chance. However my mechanic was welcome to look at the engine of my new 2008 Honda civic. For the price I got it for and the easy financing they provided I have to say I’m fully satisfied and I understand a lot of people want to save the money buy a used car but expect new car warranty with it. Wouldn’t we all want the world to be a perfect place. Take your mechanic with you and remember you are buying a used car do yourbhomework on reliability and repair cost never buy something you cant afford. As a black educated customer I say preferred keep up the good job.

My Preferred Auto Sales reviewI saw a suv on their website so I decided to take a walk around their lot before I spoke to anyone. Either someone doesn’t know how to park cars or someone has been playing bumper cars. Nearly every vehicle I looked at had scratches galore with the front end and bumper scuffed up. Very overpriced.

My Preferred Auto Sales reviewMy experience with these guys was better than I expected. I went in just looking at prices first, asked about several cars and to my surprise did not get treated as a dollar sign as do most car salesmen. They were very helpful in answering all my questions, they showed me price comparisons and car type comparison. I came back the next day with my mechanic and guess what, he said they were very honest and all of the cars shown to me were in the conditions they claimed. I was not harassed by anyone, they were helpful, honest and they were willing to work with me. I left with a very nice Car and haven’t had an issue. As with every car, it’s the owners responsibility to maintain it. I took my mechanics advice and this dealerships, the best way to keep a car in great condition is to upkeep them with care. I’m surprised on these horrible reviews by other customers. This is an honest mom and pop shop and it’s a damn shame how disgruntled customers just try to knock them down. If you want a perfect car go to a new dealership and pay full price.

My Preferred Auto Sales reviewI first visited Preferred auto sales a few months back. I originally was looking at a 2002 BMW 330xi. I don’t have good credit do this place seemed ocomadating. So at first everyone was nice including the secretary. They ran my credit and was approved for the BMW. I test drove it and by the time I got back to the dealer I smelled smile from the engine. I then looked at a few other cars one of which I was also approved for a 2003 G35. The car was overpriced and I was uncertain if I wanted to purchase it. The owner Pual basically pressured me to leave a deposit so I would be FORCED to buy a car there. He then proceeded to throw in my face that i was jeprodizing his relationships with the banks because he got me approved but didn’t by the car. I come back about 2months later looking at another BMW that actually seemed decent. This time he wants a deposit before I even test drive the car or they even try to get me approved. When I returned they immediately assumed I was there too just spin there wheels but I actually had 2500 to put down on the BMW . They seem racist and I won’t ever return there again! If your African American stay clear from this place.
I agree there seem nice at first but there really just wolves in sheeps clothing. Just your average shady used car dealers that pry on people with bad credit. Shop else where
I remmeber this gentleman very well. He seemed very nice and asked me questions for about 2 hours. I was accomating and informative in answering all his questions. He came in at closing time around 7pm. I sat with him until 9pm answering all his questions and letting him test drive the car. I asked him before hand at around 7pm if he was serious about buying because he had come in weeks prior and spent alot of time with questions and i was confident we had answered all of them then. He says that he would and that he wants to leave a deposit on a car after spending another 2 hours answering all his questions all over again he decides not to leave a deposit and that he again needs to think about it. I said no problem come back when you are ready, also letting him know that I want him to be comfortable and confident when he purchases the car. No hard feelings on my part this is the business. However when he comes back for a third time I absolutely ask not for a deposit, but lets talk only if he is ready and has the money to put down today. I didnt need to answer anymore questions nor did I need to know anything else except if he was ready to buy and did he have the money to put down. Thats all period. So sorry if someone pulled your card and decided not to let you waste anymore of there time and sorry if you were offened but we just cant continue to answer the same questions over and over. For you to pull the race card on this is totally without merit. We have plenty of African American customers that we love and they love us. Get your money together, put your pride aside and come down again and we will be more than glad to help you get a car even after what you said. Have a great day.

My Preferred Auto Sales reviewI needed a car fast and was willing to take anything I could basically afford. I found a Audi advertised on the internet and it was the best price I saw after comparing with other dealers. I went to there website @ preferredauto1.com and got there address and went down to get it. When I got there and explained that I was buying a car for the first time and that I didnt have alot of money because I work part time and go to school. The sales person explained to me that although you really like this particular car maybe I should think about something else because this car can be very expensive to maintain. He said the car is a good car and everything is good on it but that regular upkeep on this particular model can be more expensive than others. I took his advice and purchased a Nissan. I was very happy with my purchase and later I learned from my mechanic that what these people at Preferred Auto Sales told me was absolutely the truth. I was really surprised that they were actually pushing me away from the car I came to purchase. I am very happy that I found some honest and truly helpful people in the car business.

My Preferred Auto Sales reviewI recently purchased a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder from Preferred Auto Sales. I found them on the internet and upon my calling in for more info I was pleasantly surprised by there willingness to help and honesty. I let the salesperson know that I was coming from a long distance so I would appreciate an honest overall opinion of the vehicle in question. I was surprised by his answer when he said hold on I will transfer you to the cordless phone and walk outside and walk around the vehicle and explain to you in detail exactly what I see panel by panel. Wow.. I felt great about that and felt that he was being sincere in his approach and his answers. When I went down the truck was in the exact shape he had discribed. The owner was also there and seemed hands on as he was also showing a vehicle which is always a good sign. I would definitly recommend purchasing a car from here. My daughter needs a vehicle next year as she will be going away to college and I will definitly go here for my next purchase.

My Preferred Auto Sales reviewMy wife and I were in searh of an affordable yet good running mini van for our family. After going from city to city and lot to lot, we came across Preferred Auto Sales. These guys were upfront and honest and there wasnt any pressure to buy. They were very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Needless to say it was exactly like there website describes in the about us section. Excellent experience, we got a great deal, and we are very happy with our van and with honest and sincere approch this place gave us. We highly recommend purchasing from them..

Don't remember
My Preferred Auto Sales reviewWhat an ordeal.
I saw this beautiful Mini-van on Cars.com. Very nicely priced. Even though we come from afar, we decided to make the trip as my wife desperately needed a new big car.
We get to the dealership and the Van is trashed. Horrible, inside and outside. You really can’t understand how selling a car in these conditions isn’t illegal (we should have known better at this point). Specially family vehicles. They kept repeating the phrase.. ” It’s a nice car “. I usually like to take the car for a small test drive on a highway. We didn’t even get 2 blocks from the dealership when I just said no. It was THAT bad. Next, we ask if there is anything else in the price range. They show us next another Minivan.. $2000 dollars more expensive and less equipped. But my wife loved it. We drove it and (of course) after driving such a peace of junk, this one felt AWESOME. We were very pleased although the price seemed a little high. I asked the sales guy and he said there wasn’t much he could do for me.
Being fair, he did lower the price about 200 bucks, when I said (honestly) we didn’t have what he was asking for. Anyway, we said.. ok.. we’ve traveled this far. Now, I was VERY straightforward with the guy. This Van is for my wife and kids and need something reliable and safe. Is there anything major that the Van needs repaired?. the Guy says no, then he shows this bill of sale that specifies the vehicle is sold as is but gives us an option to buy an extended warranty if any problems come up after we’ve bought the vehicle I was a bit relieved. (but giving it a bit of thought this doesn’t sound like really honest, does it?).
Long story short, the CHECK ENGINE light comes up the following day, I decide to bring the Van to the manufacturer dealership and SURPRISE..!!! it needs a new engine and a few other parts including battery, strauts, etc, etc.. that amount to almost $8000.00
Nice for a car I just bought.!! I contact the owner of the dealership to find out there is no way he’ll take the car back or fix it, and he continues to tell me how the manufacturer dealerships are trained to sell you stuff you don’t need. So I take it to another mechanic, a small one.. that verifies exactly what the manufacturer dealership had diagnosed at a insignificant lesser cost. Now, the owner says he’ll pay half of the extended warranty to help with the repairs and I don’t know why, I don’t feel that comforted by his words anymore, so I check the warranty company online. This company has a TON of law suites and thousands of bad reviews.
Basically saying it should be illegal as well. and in one state it’s being sued by the government. So basically I just request half of what he’s supposed to pay in exchange for releasing the title because I owed about that amount still to the dealership. He agreed.
THANK GOD, the vehicle was still under manufacturer warranty and they replaced the engine for FREE. ($100 deductible). And I had to absorb $2000 dollars in repairs to my BRAND NEW USED and ultra SAFE Mini-van.
My recommendation. DON’T ever buy a car without taking it to a mechanic first and don’t ever buy a car from this dealership.
I’ve been ripped off several times in my life and you get angry.. but then you just move on. In this case, I felt I had the obligation to at least try to warn and inform people about my experience, because we’re talking about people’s lifes here.
Really, what would have happened if my wife was driving alone with my kids and something had gone wrong with the Van? I don’t even want to think about it. But when I asked if the Van was ok, they didn’t even hesitated. They said .. IT’S GREAT.
I don’t know why this review got a 3 star score.
I actually RATED THIS DEALER AS 0
Dont agree with this guy at all. Go down and meet these guys and see for yourself. You will be pleasantly surprised. These are not your typical car sales guys.
This is OBVIOUSLY either the owner or staff from the car dealer. TALK ABOUT ETHICS and INTEGRITY..!!I’ve been to this dealer too and just as most, not to be trusted. I guess we just have to learn not to buy AS IS. Do your homework, these guys don’t make money by selling you good stuff, they make money selling you trash that barely moves.Do your homework and never buy a car before taking it to a mechanic first.:D
Wow i dont kno if i want to buy a car from these ppl or not to. Here we have two saitisfied customers and one very p’d off one. N i do understand how frustrating things could b when mislead its irratating really. I usual by my car by owner only but im trying to think out side the box. I dont want a car breaking down on me n if i am going to be making payment how come u guys wont put me n what i want to be placed in??? My first car was a a pontiac all i am saying is PLEASE do not try to place me something only u as the salesman would be comfortable driving. I am short for crying out loud and i have two toddlers but im young I DO NOT want a van i want a car. Im just saying good customer service goes a VERY long way. So far i have only heard good about perferred auto but i am my own person this is my first time going to a dealer.just want to b making payments on a car that i am satisfied w/ please. Exspecially because i am making payments i want to feel comfortable in what im driving and you as a sales person if u were a customer would too. Basically im confortable in a pontiac does matter wat model find me that or some thing small just like that. Just saying i dont want to b disappointed
I am also new at buying cars and looking to buy from this dealership.. I saw them online and thought to myself prefferredauto1.com got some great deals and in my price range since I’m looking to finance since my credit is bad.I also did see another dealership but when i went there no one was attentive to me. I really hate to know that because I’m black, I’m going to be treated like $hit but then again what can i do (HOPEFULLY THAT DON’T HAPPEN).. So anyway i did do my homework and did some review on the dealership and the car (BY THE WAY I WILL HAVE THE CAR CHECKED OUT)and now i don’t even know if i should even go there and be suckered into a car with a million problems.PLEASE DON’T DO THIS, THIS WILL BE MY FIRST CAR I PERSONALLY BOUGHT ON MY OWN.
