Very professional and patient with my schedule, and always disciplined in following up with my inquiries in a timely fashion.
///M Life
I've owned my 2003 E46 M3 for just over 3 years and I've been satisfied ever since taking delivery. I have an SMG transmission model which historically takes a lot of heat due to failure or other mechanical related problems. I conducted extensive research prior to purchasing mine and had a dealership inspection performed. I've had a few preventive maintenance items addressed to assure full driving enjoyment. I highly recommend although do your research on condition mileage ( some highway miles is not bad), engine condition and mechanical wear, belts, interior wear and overall condition and electric functionality of all systems.

Always Been my Dream Car
I fell in love with the E46 M3 back in the days of high school. The styling, the handling, the aggressive fenders -- it was something to drool over at the time and age. I could not be any more proud of happy to own this car.

Super nice people.
Super nice people. Ken (my salesman) was awesome. It was the most low pressure experience I've ever had at a car dealer. I would definitely recommend them if you're in the market for a car.
This truly is " The Ultimate Driving Machine"
In the last twenty years my Wife and I have owned about 15 BMW'S , but the M3 is a street legal Race car , and i love it.

The last true sports car.
Beautiful animal on the road. High maintainence. Dont buy it for speed alone, plenty of turbo cars can beat it - but none can match the elegance and smoothness with which the m3 presents the speed.

Screams German Engineering
This mid 90's M3 is a true German instant classic! This 2003 coupe dressed out in German racing silver, interior wrapped in black leather. Generous sunroof. But what is fun is under the hood, one of the finest 3 liter screaming in line six's ever built without a turbo mated to a silky 6 speed manual transmission. Wonderful handling, thrilling to drive, 13 years of pure fun! I miss it already.

We really enjoyed working with Steve and Kristian on the purchase of a Lexus RX 450H. They were very professional with no pressure. From what I’ve seen they sell good quality cars at a reasonable price with no dealer fees. The Lexus we purchased is 10 years old but looks and drives like new. Very satisfied!

We recently purchased a 2022 Denali and our advisor was Lawrence Chavez. He was wonderful to deal with from the very beginning until the end. We had our kids with us and he went out of his way to make sure each of us were taken care of through the process to include offers of drinks/snacks. This dealership is highly recommended thanks to Lawrence in itself. They clearly only hire the best of the best. Thank you for such a great experience.

So happy with our Honda Pilot purchase
After many days of searching for a vehicle, we finally found a quality SUV at a fair price at Sunset Auto Wholesale in Tacoma. I definitely would recommend this dealership. Tryston helped us through the process and made it stress-free. From start to finish, the staff was great.

In late September, my wife and I stopped to look at an Audi R8 and a Porsche 911 Targa 4S. We met Abed, Mir and Jimenez when we walked in and immediately felt like we could trust these guys. We test drove several cars and ended up trading ours for the Porsche. The experience was smooth, professional and really enjoyable. I would buy from these guys again in a heartbeat! Great experience. I had some questions post-purchase and they respond immediately and helped completely.

We bought a Lexus NX200t from this dealership, a truly no-pressure experience and we got an amazing deal. We worked with Chris, who explained everything inside and out. No surprises like some of our previous purchases from other places. Definitely will come back for our next car, thanks Chris!

I recently purchased a preowned car and couldn’t be happier with the experience! Drew and his team were incredibly transparent, answering all my questions and providing detailed information about the car’s history. They made sure everything was in top shape before handing over the keys, which gave me a lot of confidence in my purchase. It’s rare to find such honesty and dedication to customer satisfaction. I’d highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a trustworthy place to buy a used vehicle!

I had a very delightful experience dealing with both Thomas and Daniel when buying my car from them. I believe they treated me fairly and the price of the car seemed to be in line with others cars listed on Edmunds and Kelly Blue Book. Both men made me feel comfortable and I am so happy with my convertible!!

I purchased a vehicle there a few days ago and my experience was FANTASTIC! I was shopping from out of state and my salesperson Alfredo made the whole process super easy and agreeable from my initial phone call and all the way until I took delivery of the car. Our negotiations were straightforward, he facilitated getting the car to a shop for a pre-purchase inspection I’d setup and also contacted a company for me to get a temporary wrap for the car to be protected on my drive home back to NC (shout out to Alex and the guys over at ONEighty who fit me in on short notice. Thank you!). Once I got in town at Staten Island, Alfredo’s team was super accommodating and welcoming as well. Thanks are also due to Adam (owner), Sha (social media), Arty (Swiss army knife lol) and everyone else that made me feel like part of the team. This was a great experience. Purchasing here is highly recommended and I would shop here again.
