Used cars for sale in Ames, IA

Picked up a screw in a tire, next to sidewall, knowing that Lithia should have a match for my AWD Tiguan I went to the Dealership where it was explained that they were down 4 Techs, so wait might be a bit, but they were happy to put me in the lineup. I was kept aware of progress and estimated time of completion. When it was finished I was told that they had also changed the oil and filter, as it had been noticed that service was coming due, and, being retired, we had purchased basic car maintenance plan when we purchased the vehicle. I have come to expect that type of over the top customer service, and once again they really took great card of me. I did have a bit of a surprise when I got the bill for the tires, which cost less than I had anticipated.

Just beware of all the new gadgets on these trucks. They are nice as long as they are working. I have spent more time in a service waiting room than any other vehicle I have owned. Still a nice truck, and get lots of compliments, but won’t buy another with all these gadgets if I was to ever buy another.

I had just bought a Jeep Cherokee limited a year ago but when I found out the uconnect system would no longer work I decided to purchase another vehicle. Luckily I had put down a ton of money so I had a lot of equity in my Jeep and got back what I paid for it minus the taxes and fees. The Nissan rogue I really like I love all the features I really wanted Android auto. I have the highest level with everything the weather mats the panoramic sunroof the sound system. I really didn't want the tan color with the black on top but I guess the premium SV version that's all it comes in. I would say the only thing I don't like is it doesn't have good pickup compared to my Jeep which was also a four-cylinder. As well as the seats are comfortable but not even close to as nice and comfortable leather as the jeep. I did own a Nissan Sentra when I turned 18 and it lasted me for over 300,000 miles. But these days newer cars I don't think last that long. But I guess we'll see I have only had it since October of 2022.

I’ve always been a big fan of Nissan products I owned two Altimas at one time. So when one of my Nissan Altima‘s transmission went out I decided to check out the rogue. And it’s surpassed my expectations. I feel safe driving it. It had great handling. Awesome pick up and I love the all wheel drive feature. It had a really nice interior. Plenty of storage space. Cargo space is huge.

Natthanial D. was the best salesman. He went above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. He was helpful, knowledgeable, truthful, kind, and made the car buying experience (which can be scary) very simple.

This car is so good! I really enjoy Edges and keep coming back and finding another one I like and trading for that one. 😂 I went from a 2013, to a 2014, to this 2019. It’s very spacious inside. The heated and air-conditioned seats are amazing. I love having the heated steering wheel in the winter. It has auto set for two drivers for the seat, the steering wheel is easy to move around. The cargo area in the back is really convenient. I love the remote start and the Ford pass app for my phone is super useful as well!

Sanin got me in after some issues with the gmc app not scheduling correctly. Good customer service. ?

We have drove Cadillacs for years. This was our first SUV. We leased it in 2018. We loved it so much we decided to purchase in 2022 at the end of the lease

Because of the COVID manufacturing shortages BOB Brown Chevy went above and beyond searching for the part so I could have a vehicle. They were very responsive to my calls and my concerns.

I purchased pre-owned 2020 1500 SLT in February of this year. The truck rides comfortable and has plenty of room front and rear. My and I both enjoy it. My only drawback is the turn radius (lock to lock). It lacks compared to my wife's 2018 Yukon SLT, or the 2016 Ram I traded in. Have to many times maneuver twice to park it going forward or reverse. Otherwise happy with our purchase.

Took my car in to have it repaired and Sanin was very thorough and transparent in explaining the duration of repair, what the parts do, etc. Great advisor and great service, the complimentary shuttle is a bonus as well!

Great for taking the family places. So many features! Very spacious. Love the heated steering wheel. Can’t wait to learn more about it. Still so new.

Superior service both online and in person. Chris D. handled our purchase with professional care. Chris inspected a small damaged area on roof rail and promptly told us they would replace it. Thanks!

Excellent car. I got the Diesel model and the mpg is the best I have seen in this category. For an all wheel drive vehicle that can tow 4400 pounds and weight over 4k, I don't think there is any auto that can beat the efficiency of it.

My 5th Mercedes from the dealership, great people to work with. Brahim is the go to guy. He’s very professional, great personality and easy to deal with. I would give him 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend him !!

This car has been the best and most reliable car I have ever owned. My wife got a new car for her birthday or I would not be selling it now.

I love the no hassle car buying experience and my salesman was a good guy that was a veterans car salesman. They took care of getting me set up with a second key very quickly and got me a great interest rate on my loan I quickly paid off within 6 months. I will shop there again and have sent many members of my family there!!

Love the car. My only complaint would be the gas mileage. I wish it got better mileage. Had knee replacement surgery in the fall so was looking for a car that was easy to get in and out of. The Rogue worked fine.

Only minor problems with only one maintance/repair/upgrade visit just recently (2020) at a Tesla SC, 1.5 days in the shop. All other minor problems handled by an excellent mobile Tesla tech that comes to your house (a special service for those not near a SC). No drivetrain problems whatsoever. 1/3 the maintenance cost of an ICE vehicle, no gas cost. Gas net savings about $5,0000 over 5 years. This is an SUV with moderate dirt road capability and 9" ground clearance.

Excellent experience! Everyone was knowledgeable and friendly. Guided me through the buying process and we?re very accommodating.

The SUV has exceeded all expectations. Great Road Car, excellent handling and comfort. The Acceleration was surprising, I have no issues passing or returning to Hwy speed after slowing down or stopping. Happy Customer.

A great place and friendly atmosphere. Dewey was a fantastic help, helped us find what we were looking for! 10/10 would buy from them again!

Six cylinder turbo provides great performance. Sport package worth every penny for the handling. I had a 2011 E90 several years ago with the same N55 motor and Sport package. This is just as much fun.

Mike Morales Of DesMoines Ia has taken care of our new car since we brought it in 2019 (Honda Pilot ) We moved to this area in 2018 and had a older Honda Pilot which he took care of us . He was the reason we brought the 2019 Honda . My husband just had our car there Friday 4/15. As usual great service by Mike and the rest of the staff. Thank you for job well done

I bought the CRV Touring Edition because I liked the dashboard arrangement better than the other CRVs I looked at. It's a very comfortable car that's fun to drive. I'm very happy with my CRV.

got a car super quick and they really helped me out with my financial situation. everyone was super helpful and kind! Would recommend to friends and family!

Pickup has awesome features ! Very reliable & meets all our needs & expectations! Very comfortable ride on long trips ,fuel efficient & dependable. Plenty of space

The Willis Collision Center is the best. Josh Romick and his team do an outstanding job. Jason (the Jaguar specialist) made an adjustment to my hood that everyone else said couldn’t be done. He did it on the same day I took it in for an estimate. In and out in one day, and the work was done perfectly. It simply could not have been better.

This is my second RX and I’m so happy with the first, I need to get one again. The size is right for a woman, not to high nor low. Perfect for young and the old. I would have opted for the 2021 model if I’m not retired. The salesperson gave us a great deal we can’t refuse. This car will definitely take me to many places in style, comfort and value.

Contacted them online for a test drive on a used SUV, and was called the same day to confirm a time. Service was amazing salesman was able to answer every question I had.

This car net all my needs- I get a lot of compliments when I have passengers. Very good in gas per miles. Roomy in back seat- lots of leg room.

Overall a decent buying experience, this is the 3rd car I have purchased from them, 5th transaction plus a car on order. Unfortunately this was a used as is vehicle, and when my sales person reached out a week or 2 later I told them about a safety issue I was having with the car. They said they will make note of it and when I mentioned I knew what it was and the repair was costly they dismissed it as ?well I made a note on the file?. I was hopeful due to my purchase history here maybe they?d offer some sort of solution (though obviously not required). Sadly due to the expense I am looking at and the lowball offer on my vehicle trade for my next transaction I may end up having to walk away from the vehicle I ordered with them. Past experiences were good, this one?I am a bit disappointed. Just shows even when purchasing from a trusted dealer, get an independent inspection!!

Looks and drives amazing got a good deal on it thanks to Big John at Piehls in princeton il If your wanting an SUV this is a great one

My ATS looked brand new when she was returned to me! Willis came for the car, kept me informed regarding progress and time needed along the way, and delivered her home again shiny and back in one piece.

We bought this vehicle because the front seats have a lot of room and comfort and also because the back seats fold down flat and the cargo area is larger than competitors. Bonus was the Bose sound system and the attractive styling of the vehicle inside and out. Cons would include: The electronic and GPS systems which are not as good as competitors. The rear window, which gets dirty very easily and has a small wiper. The tire need replacing and we have just over 30,000 miles on the vehicle. The back up lines on the rear view camera (which I love) often don’t appear, but do appear when I put the vehicle in drive. And for me personally, the car dealers I have had to deal with leave a lot to be desired.

I was traveling through the area and ended up with a flat tire. I was approximately 20 miles from Des Moines. I was able to get the spare on and limp the car into Des Moines. I googled Honda dealers and Smart Honda immediately popped up. I called them on my way and spoke to Reno. Great guy. Super friendly. He told me he would immediately go to work on getting a replacement tire lined up. By the time I arrived he was ready for me and had a tire prepared. They were able to move me in and out pretty quickly. I very much appreciated Reno's focus on customer satisfaction. Job well done!!

The Honda CRV meets all my needs; I've been very pleased with the way it drives - very smoothly. It's also very spacious and easy to maintain.
