Legend Auto Sales Inc. review

Great dealership!

Bought a 2005 Lincoln Navigator, 145k miles. It's in excellent shape, no issues since I've purchased it. I think they're an honest dealership. I would use them again if I needed another used vehicle.

1997 Acura RL 3.5 review

$1 Acura is worth every penny

I bought this car from my great uncle for a mere $1 and ever since I got it in the summer of 2019 it has been one of the most reliable cars my family’s ever owned. It’s been a good commuter as well as a good first car.

MRJ Motors review

The dealer was very honest about the vehicle.

The dealer was very honest about the vehicle. So we did brought Audi Q5 without warranty but AS IS. I really hope the vehicle last is a long time.

1997 Acura RL 3.5 review

Comfortable but...

It handles like a boat, gets 14 mpg combined, and transmission is lacking on the performance side and has long term problems (like most)

Peoria Ford review

I wanted to commend the service department on their

I wanted to commend the service department on their professionalism. I had Johnny take care in a recall for my Ford Transit Connect. They did an overall inspection and suggested a few services that should be done. He didn’t try to scare me to do them and did only the services I authorised after he took the time to explain how they perform the work. Upon picking up my vehicle Spencer who has helped me in the past was great in helping delivering my vehicle. I also want to thank Alex in Mobil Vehicle Service for setting up my oil change. Great Team!!

1997 Acura RL 3.5 review

Comfortable and easy to drive

Bought car used at over 280k miles and still runs like new. The engine is very smooth and very balanced car for front drive. One of my favorite cars.
