Great little used car lot

This was my daughters first car and first major purchase and they made her experience awesome. She loves the car and we got a very fair price for the vehicle. Fast in and out process. Dave and Debbie were awesome and friendly and really helped make my daughters day.

I came over 50 miles to buy my 99 Infiniti

I came over 50 miles to buy my 99 Infiniti from Dave at Carsmart Sales, Inc., and here's why: I had been looking online at everything in my limited price range and was becoming more and more frustrated. People were listing junk for thousands of dollars, and as a senior, I am on a limited budget. I needed something I could afford, and not something I would have to pour thousands into. I found the Infiniti, called Dave, and the next day I was able to get a ride to Loves Park and take delivery. Not only was the car perfect, but Dave was awesome! Do NOT hesitate to see Dave and purchase one of his cars. He - and Carsmart Sales - are the real deal you seldom find these days.

Amazing service!

Purchased my first car from him when I was 16. An 01 Tiburon 5 speed that i fell in love with. Car ran great for 4 years before I decided on a newer car. After a couple years I was in a need a car now situation and went back to him. He let me know what was available as well as what he had coming in. I love my Mazda and he was very patient with us through the buying process even though he was on his way out the door when we came in. Would highly recommend going to him for any of your car needs!

Rusted Junk

I was in the unfortunate situation where I had to buy a car in the winter time. They had an 05 van that looked like it was in great shape. It was snowing that day and I just didn't get a good look at the van. by the end of winter the rust and putty work began to show, it was a complete piece of crap. Rust and putty everywhere. No disclosure at all by them.

Dealer response

Most of our inventory is 10-20 years old. All have cosmetic flaws and most have rust due to the age and climate we live in. Some rust and flaws we have repaired by a local body shop. We strive for 100% customer satisfaction. All customers have different expectations. The unfortunate situation here is that we obviously did not meet or exceed this customers expectations. For that, we truly are sorry.

05 Santa fe

I'm a tuff customer. I have purchased many cars. This was by far. the fastest and smoothest car buying process to date. I was more impressed by the staff coming in early that day. To accommodate my schedule. I would recommend Dave. Very good communication and response. I would not think twice about buying a second vehicle from here. I live two hours away.

Br549

Had a lot of low mileage cars reasonably priced. They weren't pushy or try to oversell the car. Good experience, would recommend this lot.

Great car, Great price, Great customer service

Just bought my second car from Carsmart Sales. First car proved very reliable and everything it was advertised to be. The car just purchased was very reasonably priced and the transaction could not have been more efficient as well as friendly. After purchasing my first car, I recommended Carsmart and Dave Hoffman to family members who purchased two cars. When a problem occurred with one of the cars, Dave went far and above what was expected to correct the situation. I highly recommend CarSmart Sales!
