Used Cars for Sale in Ames, IA

I went to George White Chevy in July 2017 to get some repairs on my 2003 Duramax and ended up buying a new 2017 Duramax. I was so impressed with Mark Bathie and George White Chevy from my first experience I came back in March 2018 and bought another Durmax From Mark . The whole experience is a good one there all around . If you need a fair place to go for repairs or to buy a vehicle go to George White Chevrolet and See Mark Bathie for your salesman , they are Top Shelf ! 5/5 Stars

Fun to drive. The performance of the north star engine is supreme. This car turns heads! Love the top up or down on the XLR. The lines are gorgeous either way.

Even though I was just in for an oil change I was simply curious to see the changes in the 2018 CRV's (mine is a 2015 and I love it). The sales person, Steve, took time to show me a new CRV and thoroughly answered my many questions (and I have many detailed questions!). If the opportunity arises that I need or want a new car I will certainly ask for this salesman. He wasn't pushy and didn't act like I was 'wasting' his time which I really appreciate. Mel and Josh are great in the service department. Even though I am a senior I don't feel 'invisible' when I come in for service (unlike MANY other businesses!) All the guys in the service dept. have been right there when you drive in whether to change wiper blades or to answer a question. The 'overall inspection' this time showed I will need new tires next spring or summer. Thanks to Josh mentioning it, this won't be a 'surprise' next year. Two thumbs up to the whole dealership! Sadly I didn't buy my current car from this dealership, but I will NOT go back to the original place due to the difference in atmosphere/respect/quality of the personnel at Honda of Ames.

This car meets all my needs , except it doesn’t have the third row , the only reason I am selling is to have a car with third row

We just purchased our second new Toyota vehicle from Wilson Toyota in Ames. We purchased a Toyota Venza in 2013. That purchase experience went smoothly, and we have been very satisfied with the car. Wilson Toyota has handled all service for our Venza, and we have been highly satisfied with their customer service. Our positive experience brought us back to Wilson Toyota for our most recent purchase of a 2018 Highlander Hybrid. We spent a considerable amount of time with our sales rep, Jacob Harmelink, exploring vehicle features of both the RAV4 and the Highlander before settling on the Highlander Hybrid. Because Wilson Toyota didn't have a vehicle on the lot that had the specific features we preferred, Jacob arranged to get our vehicle from another dealer. In the end, we got the vehicle we wanted. Finalizing the purchase went very smoothly. Thus, we've had another positive purchase experience with Wilson Toyota.

Very close to the perfect vehicle. With a few more minor bells and whistles and a few more battery miles, this WOULD BE the PERFECT VEHICLE!!!

My background is with higher-end retail sales, unfortunately, I loathe shopping for a new vehicle. I am not exactly a "dream customer". Fortunately, Dan Holz, was very responsive to my myriad of tech questions and applied the appropriate nudges to keep this deal going forward. I was impressed with the dealership's flexibility and an amicable purchase price was decided upon. Despite being 156 miles away, Dan at Wilson Toyota, will be my first call regarding any future purchases. The child's letter adorning his office wall was pure gold and this old sales rep even learned a few things. Thank you Dan, and Wilson for the new truck. Karl

The car met all of my needs. I like everything about it. It runs exactly as it performed during the test drive. The car is in very good shape both outside and the way it runs.

My purchasing experience was great. I called Bryan a few days before I came asking about a specific pickup. He answered all of my questions and sent me the auto check report by email. I called the morning I went to the dealership to confirm the truck was still there and it was. The other salesperson informed me that he had it washed and pulled inside ready for me to take a test drive. We had a four hour drive that was well worth it. When we arrived were were greeted and shown the vehicle. Bryan grabbed the dealer plates and we were off on a test drive. There was no pressure and we came home with a great pickup. Thanks for the great experience.

This is a good overall car. Power is great. Features are a little difficult to navigate. Style is great. It is a very pretty car.

Such a great experience. I had a car that had a lot of miles but upside down on my loan. Ron is such a kind salesperson. Dennis in Finance got me a great deal on a new Jeep Patriot by using dealer cash & rebates that paid off my old car so I could get a brand new one!!! They are my dealer for life.

We are a family of 5 with a 15 year old, a 12 year old and a 7 year old, who are all growing at amazing rates. We had a Dodge journey for a few years but outgrew it so we went with the 2019 dodge caravan. It drives very similar to the journey; smooth, good pick up. The interior has so much more room though!! The kids love that there are outlets everywhere to charge their electronic devices and they even love the dvd player (even though they all have their own phones or ipads). I definitely wouldn't base my purchase on reviews from people who have only rented it: we all know how rental cars are treated by people. This is a great choice for a family looking for an afforable minivan.

Friendly, speedy service! Got right in with no wait at the Quick Lube Service. Complimentary car was always appreciated! Service employees take time to tell you what was done & answer any questions.

Plenty of room, great gas mileage, love the interior and exterior styling. Great sound system, and Bluetooth! A fun summer car for me!! Mini love ??!!

Overall, I would rate my experience as 4.5 stars, only falling short of 5 stars because of trade in value & purchase price of used car. To be fair here, my vehicle was 16 years old with over 190K miles and the used vehicle I bought was owned by a mechanic and in very good shape. I certainly don't feel ripped off, but spent more than I intended to. In regards to the service at the dealership, it was top notch, I emailed dealership to look at my preferred vehicle (2007 Infiniti G35X); and let them know the approximate time I would be there and, and the vehicle was already running to be warmed up for me by Alen (ideal in Midwest in February!) The vehicle drove great and is by far the most luxurious and most fun vehicle I have ever owned. After the test drive, we went through trade in and negotiations for buying car. The full process with Alen was professional and understanding of my expectations. We were able to find common ground and make the deal happen quickly. Follow through on service occurred next day as tire pressure light was on with air put in tires before with assumption light would go off after driving briefly as was cold day. Light didn't go off and dealership has stood behind sale for "as is warranty" car to fix the faulty tire pressure sensor as it was on during test drive and day of sale. I truly appreciate this respect and level of service as I had the complete opposite happen at another dealership with last vehicle having e-brake lock up day after sale with no assistance given whatsoever. I would certainly recommend not only Alen, but Acura of Johnston as a whole for anyone looking to buy/lease a quality new or used vehicle from a dealership with a keen sense of respect and professionalism for their clients.

We got this car with 162k miles and have driven it 15k. The interior design is genius, the stow n go is especially helpful for cargo and versatility. The driver window takes about 10 tries to go up. It gets about 17-18 mpg, 19 on a good tank. Range is about 300-315 before the light comes on. It has two little tie-down spots in the back that I use to tie down my push lawn mower. I really 'live' in my car. Lots of floor space.

I came to the dealership in May of 2016 and talked with George Meza about finding a lease return A6. We looked for several weeks but could not find the right car. After several subsequent conversations, George suggested a new A6 that they had on the lot, that met my list of requirements. I had not intended to purchase a new vehicle, but after George and the dealership had worked their magic with the price, purchasing the new car was an opportunity that I could not pass up. --- Fast forward to October 2018. I was in town and called ahead, to George, to make sure he would be available to talk about the new 2019 A6. George's knowledge about the new A6 was amazing and I found out more about that car than I had ever anticipated. I am not ready to change cars yet, but when I am, I will be contacting George Meza. D.

our new 2019 acura mdx meets all our needs and is a beautiful smooth solidly built very quiet riding suv and handles exeptionly well on the highway.

Jorge Meza always take a great care my Needs and he is Very Nice , Wonderful and hard working man! He came to my house and helped me program garage door and installed my I phone . I am 💯 Happy 😃

Awesome suv, great price and MANY< MANY features. The Audi's are truly premium automobile, wish i could have afforded one years ago. Only doing Audi from now on...

This was by far the BEST EVER experience I have had in all of my 50+ years of buying a car! Tony Martinson was the best at his job as anyone I have ever done business with. Friendly, professional, not pushy and worked hard to get me the best pricing, financing, and the exact car I was looking for. I recommend anyone to go there first and leave there ? Happy!

My truck has a 6.6 turbo diesel and an Allison automatic transmission . From East Tawas Michigan to Cape Canaveral Florida my truck averaged 10.4 miles per gallon. It has an exhaust brake that works wonderful in the hills or mountains the transmission keeps it in the gear it needs to be in it is awesome.

I did the entire negotiation for my 2014 BMW 550 through text messaging....it was simple and stress-free. Jim and I went back and forth a couple times before we reached an agreement on trade difference. That's how car buying is supposed to be!

I get teased a lot because I am a senior citizen without kids. Many people relate minivans as a family vehicle . We’ve traveled long distances and it is very comfortable. I see seniors driving them all the time. I would buy another one .

I was contacted by Bill Hudesh after inquiring about an XV Crosstrek. He answered every question, followed up with an e-mail message and was decidedly the most professional, honest salesman I've encountered. I'm in Illinois, and the dealership is in Iowa, but I intend to buy through Ramsey, and deal with Bill when I am ready. No pressure, just an invitation to contact him with questions. I'm impressed!

The purchase of this vehicle through OffLeaseOnly.com was super easy and stress free.....NO HAGGLING!!! I LOVE this vehicle. It is ADORABLE! Also, I'm getting great gas mileage and the spaciousness inside is unbelievable. My friends can't stop talking about it!!

Everyone at Bob Brown was responsive and accommodating,from the sales dept, finance dept, to the detailing. They listened to what I was saying or asking and responded quickly. Ninety percent of this deal was accomplished via e-mail, within 48 hours. It was all, the best new vehicle buying experience I've ever had.

Wanted something a little bigger but there was a situation with insurance. So they found me something more affordable and not too small. Very reliable And drives so smooth. Love my car.

I bought my 2016 crosstrek (my FIRST Subaru) from Ramsey Subaru. I worked with Bill Hudash and he was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Bill knew I was looking for a used crosstrek and notified me when they acquired anything that fit my needs. He also suggested a couple similar cars they had (outside the Subaru family) if they seemed appropriate, which helped my fiance and I compare the value of a Subaru. Bill was incredibly knowledgeable about Subarus and the crosstrek model. He made it very easy to compare different years of crosstreks as well as comparing crosstreks with other models. If there was something Bill was not 100% sure about, he double checked / researched the info and always gave me credible answers to my questions. Most importantly, I never felt pressured or felt like Bill was just trying to make a sale. I've looked at cars at other dealerships where the salesmen were extremely pushy, which was incredibly off-putting. Bill truly made the experience low-stress and geared towards getting what I needed (wanted) in a car. I REALLY love my car, but I'm not sure I would have it today if Bill hadn't provided such incredible service throughout the car buying process. I couldn't be happier with how it all played out. Thanks Bill & Ramsey Subaru!

This car is a perfect first car for teenagers or young adults and I have thoroughly enjoyed driving it. One of my favorite features is probably the moonroof.

Service department daw friendly and helpful. Jeremiah even showed me some settings on the console that I couldn’t figure out. He was super helpful.

I've had it for a week, driven it 700 miles and I am very pleased with it. It is replacing a 2002 Volvo XC70 that I have been very pleased with which is why I bought another one. Dosen't appear to be as solid as my 2002 but that's a manufactures thing, not the dealer.

I've had Hondas for 30 years and have dealt with dealerships for service in Houston, Kansas City & Des Moines. For four years I have used Smart Honda and I'm pleased with service & sales. The service managers strive to be fair and honest and have expert knowledge. The sales team goes beyond expectations as well. I've got a '16 Odyssey & a'01 with 250k miles. My '05 Odyssey just died with 280k miles.

I’ve been wanting a vehicle like this for a while. Finally found one affordable! Also made my grandkids happy 😃 Can’t wait for our next road trip!

I moved to Iowa and discovered that the only Infiniti dealership would be in Des Moines, about 120 miles from home. I contacted them to have my car serviced (scheduled maintenance) and they offered to pick-up the car at home and drop off a loaner. It takes a little bit more time than just walking in for service (one day for travel each way, plus the service), but it is a VERY good perk, as it is convenient and do not cost anything. All people that I dealt with were nice and everything went as expected. The only small downside is that the loaner is far from the same level from my car. However, this is something you can live with, considering the benefits.

interior lighting gets a d-....ergonomics for mid-gate/front seat adjustment gets an F...no lites under hood, nor in side bins...D- for the door storage/glove box/console...extremely poor fit and finish all around.. very slow throttle response...no telescoping steering column...adj. pedals do not make up for this...comfy front seats..nice heating/lousy cooling..no grab handles for driver.........

Needed new bumper cover, windshield on my 2004 MINI. Made appointment at a convenient time, car was done a couple of days later. Work is well done - no wind whistles from the new windshield, seams at bumper cover line up perfectly and color is so close to perfect match for 13-year-old paint you can't tell it's newer. Price charged was reasonable.

Every aspect works....and works great. You get in it and just want to drive and drive.I have owned an inordinate number of cars and this is at the top of the list. Fantastic

My family and I stopped into Smart Honda, this past Saturday. We were just looking around at different vehicles for us being that our lease with Nissan will be coming to an end next week. We were approached by salesman Michael Crowder. We told him we weren't ready to purchase at this time. He mentioned that he wasn't there to push us, as we've had a number of bad experiences with other sales people in the past. He took the time to go over all our questions and concerns. As we started to feel more comfortable. Michael, then took us out on a test drive and mentioned that him and and his sales managers, would take care of us. We liked the fact, how comfortable he was with our jokes and made car shopping fun for us, which we haven't had that in a long time. This was the best experience we've had in a car dealership by far. With this said. Michael has made us change our minds, about buying a car and our family has decided to do so next week. Only wish there were more salesmen like him around town.

Around 30 mpg, 20 dollars generally fills the tank ! One of the best daily sedans with great mpg. Reliable 24/7 for all of your daily driving needs.
