Incredible Ride
I've owned a BMW Z3 2.8 L - it is truly one of the best balanced cars I've ever driven. It can take corners at speed as if it is on rails. The 6 cylinder engine sounds like no other. The power and torque curve are continual and strong. Maintaining an older Z3 is very easy. Top mounted oil filter element and plenty of room to work in the engine bay.

Best value car I've ever owned
I have owned a 97' Z3 2.8i roadster for 3 years now and have loved every second of my experience. I have never had any serious maintenance problems with the car, and it was always gotten me where I needed to go. It is a blast to take corners in, it's quick, it's everything you want from a roadster. The only thing I wish it had was a little more power. It's certainly not a slug, but it doesn't put you back in your seat like a muscle car will. For being a cheaper version of the M class (and costing about half the insurance as an M) this car brings the most value for your dollar you can get.

I had a wonderful experience with Carter this week he made the experience a pleasure
Emaculate Engine Condition, easy manuvuer,Sporty
This Z3 is a well maintained by mature owner when I bought it in 2004, I put extra care of engine and scheduled maintenances, it needs a new canvas top; you can buy generic canvas top at the cost of $350 online. Excellent for pleasure driving BMW Z3 along the coastline of California with the roof top off.

Michael and the crew were absolutely amazing. I bought my daughter a 2016 wrangler from the team and I couldn't be happier. The most personable local dealership around. They helped from A-Z. Financing, securing the car - and we left happier than a chipmunk. Thanks again fellas.

Car Source David Gurevitz Oct 13, 2025 “ This is the 2nd car I bought from Alonzo at Car Source. I found him to be one of the best. As the same as the last time, I told him what I was looking for and a few days later he found it. In the past, I have tried this with numerous other car lots. And needless to say, have never been successful. Alonzo always comes through. He's very professional, but also honest and down to earth. Thank you for being my "go to guy". I appreciate you...

Thank you Nick & A.W.E., in Plano Texas.
I had a 2018 all black challenger, and decided the color just wasn't for me. Nick Barbera gave me a smoking great deal on my trade in for a beautiful 2020 Challenger in indigo blue. It has a cinnamon red leather interior, and I am very happy with this car. Hats off to all the good people at Auto Web Expo in Plano Texas!!! I would recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade from the car they have, to the car of their dreams.

I was hesitant visiting this Dealer W/ all of the negative reviews, however, they advertised a vehicle which 8 was interested in . The sales person assigned 2 me, Mrs. Anesthesia, was very friendly & extremely helpful, part of the 4 stars i gave them. Upon my request, the Dealer had a mechanic 2 run a diagnostic test 2 ensure there were no codes active( thank U). My 2 biggest complaints are: 1. They didn't detail or clean the vehicle 4 me. They said it would be detailed, however, it wasn't. 2. Most car Dealers will fill up the gas tank, & clean up the vehicle, while you are completing the sales paperwork. Victory Auto only filled up to a half of tank... The car runs good so far, & after I cleaned it up after driving home, the car is a very nice looking car... I'm not sure how, when, ir why all of the negative comments, but my experience, except for the gas & detailing, was quite pleasant.. Carter, J

Super friendly and super helpful!
Super friendly and super helpful! Bob Pearson assisted me in buying my very first car. He found a vehicle in my price range that also satisfied all of the needs I required from a car. All of my questions were answered and the process was incredibly easy. I feel wonderful leaving in the car Bob found for me. I also want to say that Isreal Leiva and Efren Martinez were incredibly helpful in this deal as well, and they worked diligently with Bob to effect this sale. I am very grateful for this experience. Thank you all for helping me find this Prius!!

Everyone at the dealership was great to deal with. The technician who took me to look at the vehicle was very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He also gave me great advice on what to do with the vehicle in terms of restoration work that would save me money and time in the long run, while still making sure I would get the best work done on the vehicle. Great experience!
