Used BMW 328 for Sale in Palm Harbor, FL

Brought my 2000 Z3 in for repairs: ABS warning light on, dashboard night light check, trunk struts replacement, new fob activation, radio volume knob check, and oil change check up. I had had problems with Ferman in the past where my car was brought in for the same air conditioning repair several times, and I had to pay again. So, I told Mr. Wilder that I was concerned about my history with Ferman, and asked how much would the repair cost. He said "in the thousands. Your car is 20 years old." (even though my car is seen regularly and successfully at Reeves in Tampa). He said "he could find 5 things wrong with a new car right now", which made me wonder what I was getting into. I asked him if I could drive to Reeves, and he insisted it was not safe, that they will give me a loaner, I asked about an oil change, and he said my car would be checked ???from head to toe." Did not get an estimate until the third day. The estimate was for $3975.21, and included ABS module box for $2117.14 (although Mr. Wilder told me that may not be the problem), front brakes pad only and replacement (yellow 4) at $355.02, drive belt replacement for $239.65, wiper blades replacement for $94.61, headlight switch for $536.46, shop charges of $52.57, taxes of $260.06, two diagnostic charges at $160 each, but did not address my request for trunk struts, radio volume knob check, oil change, or programming the new fob I had brought in. I was given a separate quote for $125 for the oil change, and $296 for the trunk strut replacement. I decided to take my car to Reeves since I was not comfortable with the quote, and I was asked to pay $343.47 for the estimate. I was not allowed to apply the $343.47 estimate charge to the struts or oil change because according to Mr. Wilder it was not part of the estimate. I asked to speak to a manager, and was told none were available -- all were in training. Incidentally, the multipoint check had not been done: fluids were not topped, tire pressure was not checked. I bought the OEM trunk struts at Advanced Auto Parts for less than $30/pair. The attendant replaced them for free in less than 5 minutes. Two rings need to be snapped off each strut using a flat screw driver, and then the replacement struts snap back on. I also purchased extreme weather premium wipers for $33/pair, which again the attendant snapped on my car for free in less than 3 minutes. However, when he replaced my wipers, he said my old ones were in good condition, and would not have needed changing. Update After writing this review, I was contacted by Ferman's General Manager, Mr. Bob Murray to discuss the situation. I visited the dealership and in the absence of Mr. Murray, spoke with the Assistant Manager, Mr, Karl Alvarez, who listened attentively to my concerns and introduced me to Mr. Brian Pelletier, Service Manager. Mr. Pelletier was very sympathetic, and asked for a chance to make things all right. He assigned my case to Ms. Jamie Annese, Assistant Service Manager and Kyle Silcox of the Gold Team worked on my car. They made all the necessary repairs: abs module, electric switch, drive belt, oil change, and fob activation (the new fob could not be programmed, but the old one seems to have been restored to its old glory) at a reasonable price. Ferman did right by me. Trust is something your can't buy. Thank you for restoring my car and my faith in you.

This car is the only car I’ve owned that performs up to par handling the road like a glove, very smooth ride and outstanding performance engine. All the features this car delivers makes it easy to personalize for all your needs.

So our intentions were to be "only looking" at the Subaru Crosstrek. We were greeted by one of the managers and he directed us to Yvonne Peterson. She was patient with answering our questions and showed us the features of the various trims and allowed my wife to drive a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. Yvonne is the type of person one feels comfortable with within a short time. She is experienced. At no time did we feel pressured by her or anyone at the dealership. She spent a lot of time with us (~4 hours) and we ended up purchasing the car. Although no haggling, they had a good price on the car and it was below sticker price. I felt we had a better experience here than another Subaru dealership in Tampa where we purchased my son's 2017 Subaru Impreza. Also dealt with Andre Selec the financial manager, who again did not pressure us when it came to getting warrantee information. Overall a great no pressure experience and yes I would return to buy a car from them again.

Car is extremely well built. Engineering excellence and build quality are evident throughout the vehicle. Surprisingly quiet at highway speed. Most impressive is the handling and responsiveness. It goes where it’s pointed. I’d recommend this car to anyone in need of a reliable, comfy, nicely appointed and good looking compact sedan at one heck of a price. Car actually has more space than appears. Got to drive one. Definitely a Value for the $.

Really nice guys, no pressure at all. Let us test drive and didn't pressure us. Let down was the car wasn't as described. I appreciate honestly & transparency. During test drive A/C malfunctioned and cut off completely repeatedly. Said outside temp was 75 degrees, when it's over 95 outside. Dash was lifted and separating, electric seat controls on driver side weren't fully functional, one out of 3 worked. They were priced just over the high end of KBB's suggested dealer price and at that price, the car should be in great condition. If they had mentioned any of these things when I asked, prior to driving down and priced the car accordingly, I'd give them 5 stars for being completely honest and upfront. I also wouldn't have driven down for that car, but been willing to have them find me what I'm looking for. However, if you want a no pressure lot, they've got it and nice guys.

This is the car I’ve always wanted, and I bought it used, not from the dealership because they didn’t have what I wanted on the lot and kept trying to sell me something else, even though I was specific as to what I wanted. I’m glad a bought the extended warranty just in case of issues. Timing chain broke on the car destroying the engine, BMW replaced the engine at no cost. The drivers side door handle on the inside rubber like part started to come apart. I have no idea why this has happened but it is sticky almost like pudy.

My window on drivers side wouldn't roll down or up. Called Auto Nation Honda and they got my car right in and fixed. Andrew did a great job. Also want to give a shout out to David who drove me back to my home and picked me up when my car was finished.Both very nice people to deal with. Thanks again Auto Nation!!

By far the most reliable bmw ive ever owned! After 2years and almost 40000miles not a single issue! Very comfortable and powerful! Also sharp looking

BMW is quiet and comfortable on the highway. Drives and handles great. Great gas mileage for a sports car, 26 local, 32 to 33 highway.

I was on an errand in Clearwater when a service light appeared on my dashboard, one I'd never seen before. I looked it up in the service manual, and it was a serious one. I'm new to this area, hadn't had my Prius serviced locally yet, so I was at the mercy of whichever dealership could take me first. I called two, but when connected to the service departments, I only got voice mail. My third call was to Auto Nation Toyota; I explained my situation and was put through to John Curtis. He listened to me (and the near-panic in my voice), and calmly told me that the car would be OK to be driven as far as their location, and assured me that they'd take immediate and good care of me. Which is exactly what transpired. John is a professional, easy going, and "knows his stuff." He gave me the information I needed to know, in a manner that a person who is not automotive knowledgeable could comprehend. I sincerely recommend John as a "go to guy" for your car's needs. Not only that, but for the first time in my driving life (and I'm no spring chicken), not only does this dealership offer you a ride home, but a ride back to pick up your car as well! That, to me, was amazing! Both drivers were personable and the cars immaculately clean, without any nasty, perfumey coverup smells (which I'm allergic to). My '08 Prius and I are very happy with the experience and service rendered.

Very comfortable to drive great performance I always liked bmw’s nice styling! Would buy another bmw when I’m ready ! Next time I will buy one brand new !

Steven was an amazing salesman. The second we got out of our car he was there ,seemed to be on a break eating an icy ...which he dropped immediately and helped us . The process was smooth and he kept us informed all the way . The only thing I would improve on is getting into the final stage of signing ( we waited over 2 hours ). But overall great experience. And we purchased a Dodg Challenger Scat Pack 👍🏻. Good job Steven !

Pure luxury and sport in a traditional classic design! Great ride and features. This car has everything you would want in a classically styled BMW.

I was 3 hrs from home when the failure occurred. From the moment I walk into dealership until I left with my fixed car. My service advisor treated me professionally and as if I was a VIP. My service advisor ???Tracy??? was the best. She expidited repairs, and provided lots of repairs progress communication. A huge thank you to Jerry Ulm Dodge, and thanks Tracy👍

It’s good car nice drive fun drive and good on gas i love it smoth in drive it’s has everything i get i good deal

I brought a BMW x3 from Five Star and I love it! I went into this location nervous and discouraged because of my past experiences from trying to purchase a car. Mark and his staff made the process easy and comfortable. I knew exactly what I needed to do and had multiple options to choose from. I would recommend anyone looking for a great vehicle with low mileage and well kept to go here. Thank you Mark and Staff for everything, you guys rock!!!

This car met all of my needs. Awesomw beamer flr the price. Would totally recommend to a friend. Beautiful interior and rides smooth as butter.

Great experience with working with the Cars of Tampa guys. They are very prompt to respond, the cars they sale are pre serviced / inspected, they are easy to work with and went out of their way to coordinate my purchase. A+ service and team!. Thank you!

This car met all my wants in a car, AWD, fun to drive, performance, great gas mileage and great looking. Took awhile to find the right one and deal, but worth it.

I was looking for a specific car and they had it! I don't thought the price was fair and we worked out a good deal! I would absolutely recommend this dealer to anyone looking for a pre owned automobile!

This car is pretty fly in looks but it is extremely uncomfortable to drive for a long time. Also, there are too many "gidgets and gadgets". Everything is computerized. The xxxxting down at stops is perhaps the most irritating thing about it. Ultimately, I will probably trade it in. BMW is mostly a name with little quality.

I had a very positive experience with the folks at Cars of Tampa, in the purchase of my new Chrysler 300. I was treated quite well by everyone who was involved in the sale! They treated my like I was part of their Family and made feel extremely comfortable! I would highly recommend them to anyone, who is in the market for buying a quality vehicle! Thanks again for outstanding service. Stuart Akerson

Fuel efficient, great acceleration, well designed, tight steering. Wish it had a rear view camera or alarm for backing up. Otherwise it’s an exceptional car bought at Budd’s BMW in Oakville.

The car was priced great and an awesome value for the type of vehicle. Very happy with the performance and drive. A lot of fun to drive and very comfortable.

This is a practical car that is fun to drive and looks sharp. Of course at 170000 miles there will me problems, but they are not always happening. After a year all that I needed to do was to replace the radiator. After that the car was even better.

It is really a awesome car I have owned, it allow me to have a fun experience whenever I drive it. And it has nice Interior compare with other cars when I have owed before.

Teresa was super sweet and offered accommodations such as water and coffee while I waited! Anthony did an awesome job showing me all the used cars they had on the lot that were in my liking and answered any and all questions I had. The atmosphere of carlotz was very comforting and the building was well put together/tidy which really impressed me! I would definitely recommend this lot to any one in need of a car!

I love my 3-series wagon! Good looks, good performance, and great overall package! The sport package brings a little extra fun to the mix on the drive to and from work or hauling the family around. Super pleased with my purchase!

We came to look at a car fax truck 04 Ford and ended up in a 2010 f-150 couldn't be happier. Thanks to Preston we were able to negotiate a price that we could afford. We never felt under pressure and felt like he was working for us thanks. We will definitely send any of our friends there, and the barbecue was worth the trip. Gotta go Mr Maurice Paquin😎😎

Was driving 750 -1K a week needed good mileage, had several diesels in the past and loved them. When I found out BMW had a d model that's all I needed to know. No regrets 61 k later.

Rivard GMC used to service our Yukon XL and the service and professionalism was always top notch. It was this experience and familiarity that led us back to them when we were looking for a mid-size truck. After visiting another GMC dealer where they made little attempt to try and meet our requirement, we went to Rivard. We originally went there to look at a slightly used truck and test drove it but the price was not much less than a new one. Mr Anthony Edwards was very patient and very professional as he showed us their used inventory and newer options. He was very pleasant and forward with valuable information and not pushy with probing questions. He listened to our questions, answered them and offered options. He showed us several new models and broke down the numbers and all were on par or better with another dealer's offer. But his willingness and patience to assist us was the exceptional factor in accepting a very good offer on a new model and gave us a couple of days to ponder. Afterwards we went to a nearby Chevy dealer where we looked at their counterpart model. We told the sales rep we also looked at the GMC version and he concurred the GMC models were a little higher quality than the Chevy version. When we decided on a comparable model and attempted to negotiate a price, the Chevy offer was at least $500 more on supposedly/admittedly a lesser quality than a GMC. They asked what would it take for us to accept their more expensive offer and we reiterated that they have to give us an incentive in lower price to bring us over from the GMC offer. They were not willing to do so and we accepted Mr Edwards offer at Rivard GMC. Mr Anthony Edwards without a doubt has been the most pleasant auto sales rep we have ever dealt. After dealing with other dealers, we felt very confident we received a very good deal from Rivard GMC and Mr Anthony Edwards was the key!

Comfortable, quick and reliable. Four people travel nicely. Suspension is firm, mileage is just OK at 22/30. Great brakes and had very few problems in 50,000 miles. Dealer very expensive after warranty expires.

Great performance. I feel safe in winter driving with all wheel drive. Love the design and perfect size. Not too small, not too large. Interior is sharp.

Great color with lots of bells . Has a back up camera and security system so worries are less. The ride is smooth and hugs the road
