This car has been my go to car for anything even it being a 98 i still love driving it. i just wish there were more modifications a newbie to the car building game could get. i haven't been able to find much or anything for other car mods you can do like body kits and engine mods

We have received very good service with Theresa and Dj. I love my Jetta and they were so nice and gave us a free gift too

Such a comfortable ride. Has plenty of legroom in front and back. Love that it has third row seating. It’s very spacious and drives smooth.

Thank you to Teresita and Money Carlos they were great and provided great customer service to our family. We love our new 2018 Journey! Keep doing a great job friends!

It may not be the prettiest car, it's not a 300 for sure.... But I will say it is very reliable. It hasn't broken down after 70k miles of owning it. I use to be a CDL driver and try to take care of any vehicle in my possession. Economy on the vehicle is great, usually averaging 36 miles per gallon. It's small, living in the city means it is great for tight spaces. No extravagant luxuries, very basic, not very comfortable for long trips, but if you can suck it up, it will get you were you need to go without breaking down

We purchased this early last summer just to tow a boat. Car had 225K on it. New Tires and lot of new parts (starter, alternator, battery and other parts). Yes, has a ton of miles on it but no rust at all, runs great and strong. Looks like it was very well maintained. Excellent in the snow too. Got it for a song (less then $3300.00). Had to fix a couple things, Bose amp repaired, replaced water pump. Fixed the sunroof drain issues by re-routing the drain tubes. Leak issue is now Fixed. Both power seat switches were flaky when we bought it. Took them apart, cleaned up the contacts and no problems. Very tiny slight leak in power steering. Fixed that with some stop leak made by a famous company that starts with "L". We've driven this to the UP Michigan (1200 miles round trip) last summer pulling our boat - no issues. Drove to eastern Tenn (1900 miles round trip) about a month ago. Zero issues. Have made several trips over the summer each over 600 miles or more, no issues. Very nice vehicle and nice and comfy. Definitely not great on gas. But then again, you don't buy one of these because they get great gas mileage now, do you? We now have around 230K on it and so far so good. At this point, for what I paid for it, it doesn't owe me a dime. Nice vehicle. We will keep it and just fix things as needed. Way cheaper than buying another vehicle right now. I used to work on cars way back when all you needed was a pliers and a couple of screwdrivers so I can do most repairs to save some $$$. I would purchase another one if I had to replace this one.

We traded our 2012Optima because of a brake issue the dealership couldn't find. I could've scanned the ABS myself but it was under warranty, so after MANY times to that dealership we switched to another and decided to trade it in and get a 2012 Sorento. The salesman assured us the CARFAX said the car was seviced including all the major components and specifically said,Engine, Transmission and complete driveline,within the 1st month we had oil consumption issues which was diagnosed as a bad engine after being stranded with it,we also had complained about the transmission having issues with it on a few occasions to the dealership now we're getting close to our 10 year warranty period and I'm worried that we'll be stuck with the bill. Our dealership now are awesome they do whatever they can to do right by us. So maybe I'm being paranoid but a couple thousand $$$ isn't something we can afford. We want to keep it if all is good,and might buy a used Kia again in a couple of months it all depends on what happens here.

Great car for towing and my v8 is a screamer, it has 140000 miles and runs like new. Love the car and was sorry that Buick quit making them

Hi my name is rafael i went to Chicago South dodge on 74 nad western talk to a guy there name RJ he gave me a good deal on a Nissan Altima 2017 I recommend the people that see this that's a good place to go to to get a good car RJ was a good dealer I thank you guys at Chicago South Dodge

I bought the car I had to put in a radiator water pump and thermostat. I did the work myself cost me less than 300 bucks and in the shop it would’ve cost me $3000. I’ve never done anything else to the car except tires and an oil change constantly and I have 190,000 miles and it starts right up no problems and the motor is very powerful for the car

I came here to look at used cars. I was greeted by a salesman named Rj .never did I think I was going to be blessed with a BRAND NEW SUV! RJ got me a great Deal definitely come see RJ!

My only concern is that I cannot figure out why my car keeps turning off when I’m driving it. I’ve been close to having an accident several times because I’m driving and all of a sudden the steering wheel locks and the engine shuts down. Very dangerous

I sent an inquiry on a vehicle on a Sunday (during non-business hours) and received an immediate response back. That’s the kind of dealership I want to purchase from. Providing customer service during non-business hours.

Driving my 2007 SLE convertible for 16 years now, mileage more than 330000 and it still drives like new. Quiet interior, great drive and quite fast.

Good running van .This van no rust . Van shipped from California State. Van ready to work. Nice and excellent van . Good engine and transmission.

We had a great experience buying a SUV from Your choice Posen. Azeem was our salesperson and he was very helpful and friendly. He answered all our questions and made sure we were satisfied with everything. We really appreciated his professionalism and customer service.

I like the style, handling and performance of this vehicle. It is very satisfying to drive with the handling, followed by its appearance. The overall quality of the vehicle is obvious from the minute you get into it.

I love my tahoe, I have had it for almost 20 years and she is still going strong. Big, comfy, smooth ride. This is the best car I have ever had. Fits 8 people and is great on road trips. I don’t like what a gas hog she is…. Occasionally she gets cranky and momma has to sweet talk her into starting but we have been through a lot and she has never broken down! I don’t drive too much so she has low miles, I plan on keeping her for a long time.

I was looking for a car for my daughter and didn't want to spend a lot, but wanted her to be in something to keep her and the kids safe. Jerry and the crew found me something nice and affordable.

It's a nice size, clean and rides very smoothly. My baby is pretty lol and very affordable. I am VERY Thankful and everyone should know about this place. I will definitely put the word out.

Bought 99 xlt 4x4 in 2015. I live in Iowa. I do a lot of hunting and wood hauling. So I use the 4x4 a lot. I pull a 5x8x3 trailer when wood cutting and load the truck and trailer down heavy. She grunts a little but enough power there to get it done. Only been stuck in the snow once due to clearance and have tested it's yanking power pulling bigger vehicles out that were in there pretty good. It's supposed me. I've replaced minimal parts. Gas tank was the biggest chore. Standard rust out. Biggest engine problem to diagnose was the fuel filter. Engine knocks like a diesel engine but has plenty of power and keeps on ticking. Change oil every 5k or close to it. Plenty of cab room and leg room. Maintenance has been minimal I guess. Would buy another if the deal was right. Current mileage 186kish. It's due for some bigger maintenance now. Front end parts kit brakes rotors all around and rear seals. Not bad for a truck that's seen a lot more gravel roads than hiways. Rust is average. Rocker panels and starting on the front of box. It's been a good truck.

I have two of these little cars a 2008 Ford Focus SeS and a 2009 Ford Focus SE and I have never had any issues with either car besides the basic maintenance, they both have high mileage on the odometer and still they get amazing fuel mileage, granted it's not a luxury car and it's not a race car but not a Toyota Corolla slow either, my only Gripe is the way Ford designed the rear drum brakes with the wheel bearing pressed in the hub, there are ways around that especially if you're mechanically knowledgeable by doing a disc break conversion it's easy and allows a lot better stopping distance, both of my cars still look and run like new and they are extremely cheap to maintain. If they weren't good cars I wouldn't own two of them lol I still get compliments on both cars , tires are cheap, maintenance is cheap , they are comfortable and reliable to drive and they handle like a sports car and I know without a doubt that whenever I turn the key it'll start and get me where I need to go, I live in upstate NY where there is snow a lot and they both handle great with all season tires . Overall I definitely recommend a Ford Focus between the years 2008 - 2011 , I would stay very far away from the 2012 - 2016 model years because of the TCM and transmission issues. If you want reliability and comfort and a cheap car that will last as long as a Toyota buy this car .

It's a great van for transporting people. Dependable and comfortable. Lots of room. You sit up higher than most cars so it's easier to see everything. It's relatively easy for do it yourselfers to work on.

I was shopping for a car and was skeptical of what I was going into, but Kush, one of the salesmen, helped me out an incredible amount with the choices and information he gave me, also while making sure i get the best deal for what i’m looking for. Would definitely recommend!!

Dodge sprinter 2004 , 140 wb passenger Very reliable vehicle so far but havent experienced a N.Y. winter yet, the summer driving was good . A smooth runner on clean roads , effortless to drive = cruise control option is a plus. Diesel engine was the main reason to own this as gas prices are driving everyone nuts , including me . Diesel prices are more realistic and this truck gets 500 + Mi to the tank . handeling is pretty good = turns on a dime . backing up is another story but like anything you get use to it in time . Interior space is amazing seating for 10 and cargo space in the very rear is very ample . Im 6 ft 3 so have to bend a lil to walk thru , Rear Ac unit makes me bend more . Instrument panel is well lit , but youll need to read the manual to understand all the symbols. Drawbacks= Entertaiment system is weak = am/fm cd player- by Becker? Air condition up front is weak = takes awhile to cool things down ,78-80 degrees outside temp, have the rear AC that helps things along = + Blind spots in rear view and RS passenger - added a mini mirror for the RS , looking to get a (back up camera). Seatbelt tends to do the anaconda on you / always pulling it loose . lol Seating is stiff an comfy optional - seat adj = + Steering wheel is stationary and the diameter is thin = added a steering wheel cover to bolster the feel. Tilt is available on the 2007 models ? Color choice = very limited mostly white but got mine in fire engine red = loud & proud Minimal interior noise rattle but its there when you hit a big bump= sliding door- rear door ?. Entering and exiting is a chore= for small people or older folk . Limited - dash & console space for the essentials (cell phone, keys ,cds , etc ) = 2 cup holders and a pen tray, and a small waste basket . But a super deep glove compartment =+ and map storage in the doors . Tough deal to wash and wax this baby yourself but worth it , compared to what they get at a detailer $$ All in all i really like it , its a head turner and its efficent to handle most traveling and hauling applications .

The car great on gas and reliable. He loves driving it. He goes every where with no problems. It has style and comfort in mine.

Bought my 09 a year ago with only 56,000 miles. Haven’t had a single problem yet, besides the sensors in the tires going out. Driven it almost 20,000 miles since then. Regular upkeep is pretty easy and it’s not hard to work on.

I have owned 5 of them,2 of which I was in major accidents Noone was hurt. Very safe, doesn't overheat, idelled 2hrs &w/ac running didn't overheat.
