Great experience at NJ State Auto.

Great experience at NJ State Auto. Nour was very professional, helpful, and made the whole process smooth and easy. Highly recommend!

2018 Ford Explorer Limited review

Highly recommend buying a used 2018 Explorer

This is my fourth Explorer. I decided in 2018 to order the top-of-the-line Platinum. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles for a person that wants the luxury of one of Fords top models. It has Platinum leather seats that are very comfortable. If you can find today, buy it. It has the 3.5L V6 that has great power on acceleration. You can only buy a V6 now on the 2025 Explorer ST which is a 3.0L. The cost is around $60,000 Loaded.

2018 Ford Explorer XLT review

3rd row seat folding mechanism

Love this car overall but I have only one complaint. I was putting some boxes in the rear of the car and one of the boxes must have touched the the rear seat folding mechanism as all of a sudden it tried to unfold the seats. If my grandchildren had been sitting there strapped in I hate to think what may have happened!! Wish you had coverage over the mechanism so this wouldn’t happen.

Autopia Motorcars Inc review

I recently bought my first car from Autopiamc and overall

I recently bought my first car from Autopiamc and overall it was a really solid experience. Tarrell was the salesman who helped me, and he made the process a lot less stressful than I expected. As a first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions, and he took the time to explain everything and gave me time to make a decision without making me feel rushed or pressured. He was straightforward, friendly, and helped me find something that fit my needs and budget. If you're new to buying a car like I was, I'd definitely recommend working with Tarrell. He made the whole experience feel manageable and helped me feel confident in my choice.

2018 Ford Explorer XLT review

Very good car, durable and trustworthy

Love the inside room, 3rd row seat and the fact that the 2nd and 3rd row can be collapsed. Love the rear camera and all of the functions of being able to bring my phone apps up on the screen. So good for our very busy, on the go lifestyle

Haldeman Ford review

Super F350

I purchased my 5th (Diesel) SuperDuty Ford recently. This latest truck was provided Haldeman Ford and the process was better than any of my past experiences. The Sales Rep (Howard) was patient, professional and knowledgeable. The dealer pricing was fair and the service was outstanding. I've also bought two other vehicles from them and they have also been a SUPER experience.

G Motors review

Thank you!

I recently purchased a 2020 Tesla Model X from this dealership, and it was an absolute pleasure. The salesperson, Sergio, was friendly and knowledgeable, and he took the time to understand my needs. He helped me find the perfect car that met all my requirements. What impressed me the most was their transparency in advertising the cars. The Tesla Model X I purchased was exactly as advertised, with no surprises or hidden issues. The trade-in process was smooth, and they offered me a fair value for my previous vehicle. Despite having some concerns about my credit situation, the dealership went above and beyond to help me get approved for financing, making the whole process stress-free. I highly recommend this dealership for their exceptional customer service, honesty, and impressive selection of luxury cars.
