Everyone was amazing.
Everyone was amazing. The buying experience is top notch. A second key was programmed for me while I waited on detailing. This was an important issue. Overall experience, incredible.
Great budget car that gets awesome mpg!
I purchased this car used in 2015 or so. Drove it for a few years and sold it when I got a truck...fast forward to 2022 and gas prices are sky high so when I had the opportunity to buy it back for what I sold it for, I jumped on it. It's got dings and dents and wear, but it gets me from point a to point b and gets me between 28 and 45mpg depending on how I drive it! I used to get over 40mpg driving from Indiana down south with it. It has needed very little mantainence other than tires and oil changes. I've replaced the alternator once and it's due for an idler pulley and tie rod end links, but these are to be expected at 173,000 miles. They aren't power houses, but enough power to zip through daily traffic without danger. I'm not especially easy on it either...they have no issue shifting at 6500rpm (keeps the carbon blown out.) As a side note: these were the first run of the 2.0 ztech with a timing chain vs the earlier timing belts... If you can find a rust free one that's been maintained, you can drive the wheels off of it and it will save you money on gas!

I had a great experience.
I had a great experience. I appreciated that they don't work on commission. The vehicle I had been exploring was sold so Albert took time to help me find something that benefited my family but fit in my price range. There was a lot of time spent ensuring I understood the process and the next steps. I liked the open door policy and not pressured into having to buy. I was able to locate vehicle that I have been driving for a few weeks and love. Albert even helped me with gaining insurance. I felt welcomed the whole time and left feeling informed. I like they provide car facts on their vehicles. I went there because many others recommended this company and now I do too.
Compact utilitarian transportation
I bought this car new in 2007, and it was the first year of this design. At the time it fit my needs as a commuting teacher, wife and mom to a teenager and a toddler. Now it still meets the needs. The cabin is quiet and the ride is smooth for its size. It handles well and has required minimal maintenance beyond the basics. I was offered $500 for a trade in, and chose to drive it a little longer at 147,000 miles and counting. It has transported sports gear, and carried camping gear to remote campgrounds. It took a road trip from Connecticut to DC and back but is mostly for local errands and brief highway trips for appointments. No complaints, but it’s no luxury vehicle or SUV, just a compact sedan for basic needs. We now have a 100 pound dog who fits fine in the backseat.

What a pleasant experience.
What a pleasant experience. My first time financing a vehicle. When going to initially look at the vehicle, I discovered a few issues. Obviously no used car is going to be perfect, nor was I expecting it to be. They told me to come back the next day and the issues would be fixed. I came back and they did in fact fix the car. They are willing to and have went above and beyond.
Bought brand new July 2007, 235K and going!!!
The 2008 Ford Focus SE, Vapor Grey with highest trim level, chrome package. It was my very 1st brand new car that i purchased back in July 2007 and have driven it every day since. Myself and my husband drive it (hes a 6'2" guy, so as far as comfort, its a little snug for him, but fine for me at 5'7") Updated for a 2008 dated vehicle, and is very spacious for a compact car. (Easily fits 2 XL suitcases and carry-ons for our airport trips, or large fishing cooler in the trunk for weekend getaways.) Its been up and down the entire east coast for our road trips, family holiday visits and a lot of local NJ town miles as well. Its 2020 now, and that thing has been AMAZING on average MPG (currently at 35, mixed highway/town miles) as well as longevity!!! Runs solid, basic maintenance like oil changes, tires, light bulbs, fuses and such. As of today, she just hit 235,000 MILES!!! Could NOT have asked for a better vehicle!!!

I had a very good experience purchasing a used Nissan
I had a very good experience purchasing a used Nissan Frontier from Steve and Sons Auto Sales. I had been searching for quite awhile for a decent small truck to replace my full size gas guzzler. So I spotted the Nissan on Cars.com where I was casually looking at vehicles that were in good shape and a price that would fit my budget. In initially spoke with Rick. Then Gus stepped in while Rick was on his days off. We took care of 95% of the transaction online. The process took a week to get everything in order. Rick and Gus were easy and fair to work with. They gave me a fair price for my trade in. I’m super happy with the Nissan Frontier and I would recommend Steve and sons auto sales to anyone in and around Portland Oregon.
