Used cars for sale near Crest, CA

I?ve been driving a BMW X5 for about seven years, and when the time finally came to purchase a new car this year, I didn?t feel the need to reinvent the wheel. I loved my X5, so choosing the same model again felt like coming home. My husband and I don?t enjoy the usual back-and-forth of price negotiations, so we decided once again to use the Costco Auto Program. Our first visit, to the Escondido location, was unfortunately a very unpleasant experience. We contacted Costco right away, and they promptly connected us with BMW of Carlsbad?and that?s where everything changed. While I was still on the phone with the Costco representative, Tyler Mezzanares called me directly. From that moment on, the process felt effortless. Over the phone, Tyler immediately understood what I was looking for and quickly emailed several vehicle options so I could compare them side by side. His speed, clarity, and no-nonsense approach instantly impressed me, and we set up an appointment right away. Although they didn?t have the exact exterior color I originally wanted, Tyler?s professionalism and genuine reliability gave me enough confidence to move forward and visit the dealership. We arrived a bit earlier than scheduled, but the dealership already felt lively and well-organized. The showroom was clean, modern, and welcoming. Every staff member we encountered greeted us warmly, which made us feel genuinely welcomed?not just ?processed.? Tyler was waiting for us at the entrance and greeted us with the same kindness and calm confidence he showed on the phone. Since we already knew which model we wanted, the shopping process itself was straightforward. Even so, Tyler prepared multiple vehicles for us to compare, clearly explained the features, and made it incredibly easy to narrow down our choices. His explanations were so clear and honest that what could have been a long decision became surprisingly quick. We ended up choosing between two vehicles, and the moment we saw the final one, the decision was immediate?it just felt right. Thanks to Tyler, buying a car became an enjoyable experience rather than a stressful one. He is friendly yet highly professional, knowledgeable without being pushy, and?most importantly?exceptionally good at understanding a customer?s needs. Every step of the process felt smooth, respectful, and thoughtfully handled. If anyone around me is considering purchasing a BMW, Tyler Mezzanares will be the first person I recommend. BMW of Carlsbad left a strong and positive impression overall, and when it?s time for our next car, this is exactly where I plan to return.

A couple of reasons I gave it a four rating is that the paint seems to peel at the least nick and one of the recalls gave me pause about the R&D of Infiniti.

I was treated as royalty as i landed on premises. Demetrio, Jordan and the finance manager i dealt with were sent from heaven. Their professionalism is impeccable.

This vehicle has been awesome from the day I first started driving it. Great on gas, engine is very responsive and reliable. A/C is very cold and the starts so nicely every time. The engine has all the power you would ever need. This one is a 2.0 Turbo. I have kept this car serviced regularly and it has performed flawlessly.

Brought my car in for pre-road trip checkup. The service dept is top notch and my service advisor treats me like family. I won?t have any other company work on my car. Same was true for my previous BMW.

This is an update from my February 1, 2019 review. I have now owned the vehicle for nearly seven years. I’ve personally driven nearly 20,000 miles in it. The vehicle now has nearly 50,000 miles on the odometer. I purchased it certified pre-owned from a BMW dealership. I have maintained the vehicle to manufacturer specifications. I have only paid for routine maintenance. I have paid for zero repairs. My previous review is confirmed. Full disclosure, two repairs were covered under warranty by the BMW dealership when I purchased the vehicle and one other repair was performed by a different BMW dealership due to their mistake during a routine service.

I do not like dealerships in general but I had a good experience buying my car here. The salesman Michael was patient and listened to my requests and financing was not pushy in selling extras.

Bought a used one in November 2023 with 24k miles. Car pulls like a train in any gear. The sport transmission lets you shift and downshift at the moment you press the paddles. There’s no delay. I typically drive the car in sport+. I was able to hit 60 in 4.2 seconds without launch control. I can’t totally speak for reliability but the car so far is good. I have only driven 1000 miles with the car though. The cons I noticed are The dual climate zones don’t have a sync button. So you manually have to change both climate controls, The plastic ac unit cover is pretty flimsy and bends in when you push hard, the trunk button sits a little low for you push when your in the drivers seat. It’s near the front hoodlatch. Most cars have the lock button on the door, for the bmw f30, it’s on top of the hazard lights which is in the center console, also, the Ambient lighting has two lights, orange or white. And both are really dim. Most of these “cons” are personal things. The car drives wonderful and handles amazing. Would recommend this car.

Absolutely stunning i5 M60 in Aurora Diamond Green Metallic. Huge thanks to my salesperson Martin Iliev for making this a seamless and effortless long distance transaction without me ever seeing the vehicle in person. Shoutout to Johnny in Parts for the awesome BMW M badges and a double shoutout to Shea Duncan, Sales Manager, and Roberto Lopez for handling the sales and finance process flawlessly. The team at BMW of Carlsbad is truly unmatched. Their vehicle selection is incredible, featuring some of the most elegant and rare limited edition models and color options available anywhere in the United States. An outstanding dealership experience from start to finish. If you’re getting a BMW I would highly recommend that you call Martin first before buying anywhere in the United States. Best pricing best selection.

Recently purchased 2013 bmw 528i Xdrive - Alpine white over cinnamon brown beautiful spec. 80k miles - 6 months later no problems. Equipped with cold weather package - and 360 camera. Amazing technology for the year. The illuminated door handles at night really provide a luxury feel before entering the comfortable interior. Extremely smooth drive but then you put it in Sport mode and everything changes - faster throttle response. Tighter steering, propelling you forward leaving everyone in your rear view. The sound system although not specified as Harman/Kardon still is loud enough for me to not care. Really loud and stock Bluetooth connectivity is great. Engine has light rattle sound on start up but it’s a common noise for that base engine and gets quieter when engine warms up. First bmw and easily stands out as one of my favorite cars owned to date.

This has been a solid vehicle all around. The tech has been responsive with little to no lag for infotainment which can be a big deal with other manufacturers. All the safety features work great with no malfunctions. Long trips I average around 35mpg on premium but it’s not very comfortable after a few hours. Road and wind noise is about what you’d expect from a Subaru but the interior doesn’t rattle the slightest even on rough roads. Haven’t had any real issues arise after 10,000 miles. It’s currently at 28,000 miles and I’ve only done simple maintenance items and a set of tires. I do want to bring up the capability of this car in the snow because its the best I’ve ever experienced. After owning multiple 4Motion VW’s this is all around better for traction in several inches of fresh snow and light ice. Gives you a ton of confidence because this car will make it through a rough storm or two. It’s been a great commuter for the wife and a fun car for me with spirited driving on tracks for the price you pay.
