I bought a used 2005 chrysler pt cruiser a few years ago. My wife found in in Trenton , NJ. It was a one owner with just over 30,000 miles on it. We only drove it a few blocks, tried the convertible top and was sold on it. I had a small accident a few years ago but it was fixed fantastic like new. I love my car everything works like new and always getting some compliants Inferno Red Black Top Will never sell it!

NICK V
THANK YOU SO MUCH NICK V FOR ALL THE HELP TO GET US IN A PREOWNED COROLLA! Nick was smooth going and easy to work you!
One of the best cars ever
I daily the prius C 2 and it's just the perfect car. It's small and light enough to just zip through traffic and the instant torque from the electric engine can get you where you need to go quick. The handling is tight and responsive and the wheel is nice and smooth. Nimble, light, and forgiving is how I would describe the drive feel. The car can fit quite a bit of cargo for its size if the seats are folded down. I moved all of my stuff cross country in it and honesty could have fit more than I brougt. Otherwise, it can comfortably move 3 passengers + driver without much issue. The only thing it can't do is haul a bunch of luggage and people at the same time. When you baby it, you'll get mpg near 50, so fuel costs are a nonissue. It's never broken down and never had any issues that weren't my fault. It's the perfect car and I would recommend it to anyone who was open minded about driving a small car.

Purchased the car about a month ago, had an amazing experience. Car runs great and is in fantastic condition.
only a rear wheel model.!
This vehicle was great when living down south, being rear wheel drive only, but moving to the northeast, not so good in snow. These rear wheel only Nitro's are great -- IF you dont have a lot of winter driving to deal with

I had a great experience with Top Gear Motors.
I had a great experience with Top Gear Motors. They were quick to respond to my inquiry and provided the info I requested in a timely manner. I really like the car and still thinking of buying it but the transport costs are holding me back.
My first car, still drive it to this day!
In 2020, yes, 2020, I still drive a bright red 2002 Ford Escort SE. I bought it as my first car in 2018 for $1500 (80k miles) with the only issue being AC needed to be fixed and a new bulb for a blinker. I will say that my friends do jank on me for having an “old ugly car” but honestly I love my Escort! I do agree with the other reviews, it idles and vibrates badly. However, it has never left me stranded. The only major problem I can say that has to do with this car is that a lot of the small parts are very hard to find for it now-a-days. Currently my IMCR is stuck open causing the check engine light to be on, makes gas mileage bad, and for the car to idle even worse. Not a major problem but frustrating when you can’t find the part to replace it with. Overall, I definitely recommend this car to anyone needing a cheap reliable daily driver. It accelerates pretty well, brakes well, and is fun to drive! If you take care of it, it will take care of you!

Buying my first car was a great experience.
Buying my first car was a great experience. My sales representative was super helpful and gave me great advice throughout the process. I'm really happy with how it all turned out.
Affordable Mid Size SUV w/ Character + Muscles
I wanted a low mileage Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 2011 or 2012 because I read they were the best model years. When I couldn't find that deal I found a jewel of an SUV with 50k miles. The style, visual appeal and performance is just what I needed in a SUV that's also a 4X4. It's hard to believe that Dodge stopped making the Nitro in 2011. Based on its box design and aggressive outward form which is the hallmark of cars designed today but this car was made in 2011 a time when curve designs were in. It drives like a TRUCK SUV and it looks sportier than it feels. The seats don't have a lot of options for adjusting. The color is bold and impressive. It doesn't break the bank if you need a mid size 4X4 SUV with a v6 3.7 liter engine. I wish I had found the same car with a sunroof and power seats but this will due. As with any car I recommend you always by an extended service plan. Just purchased 2 weeks ago (01/2021)

Small and simple great first car 👍 not super reliable
Small and simple great first car 👍 not super reliable like a Honda but still seems really reliable, I bought mine for $2,800 2 years ago still running extremely well today with 160,000 miles. Small engine and easy to repair, only real repair I've had to do on it is a water pump, expect a cheap economy car if you take good care of it then it will treat you right.

The sales representative was very helpful to finding a car with the specifications that suited our family’s needs. We found exactly what we were looking for. Sam, was great with his advice. Again Thanks.
Best car I've owned
I bought a 07 CLK 63 AMG about a year and a half ago and never had so much fun in a car since a 62 Shelby Cobra! The CLK is very well appointed and it looks a bit of a sleeper but it does not when you wick it up. I have a Dragy and use it to do 0-60, 1/4 mile and Speed mile. I am getting better at driving this car as times will show. If you are looking for one of these you will have your work cut out. I took me 6 mon. and nation wide search. I found a perfect one with 22K. Love it.

I Love this car
This car has great mileage good pickup even if it is a 4...The only thing that I do not like about this car is changing headlights...really what the heck from outside and move wheel away from an access panel?

Great Road Trip Machine
Just purchased this used and drove 1100 miles home through the rain and snow. 2 days in the car and no stiffness or pain, an unusual thing at my age! Quiet, fast and extremely comfortable.

200,000 miles and still not broken in
My dad bought his 2005 lexus ls430 with about 1000 miles on it. He drove it up to around 90,000 miles where he gave it to me. I currently have 200,000 miles on it and it runs like new. He has owned about 5 cars since than and still says this is the best car he ever owned. Besides the toyota land cruiser, this may be the most reliable car ever made.

A great place to go buy your vehicle!
My experience has been awesome so far! They got me into a very nice car, for an awesome price, in less than 2 hrs, and Monique literally saved my life, lol! I would recommend this place to any and every one! Amazing prices, reliable, decent vehicles, and alot to choose from too! They will take care of you, I can promise you that!
no issues to note
feels like new at 104000ks, vastly undervalued, I have owned many vehicles over my time from Holden, Ford, Toyota, Subaru, Hyundai and Kia. Two Kia from new plus a Suzuki almost new. X-Type has been the best.

Great experience at Fortune Motor Group. Great communication throughout the entire process. They gave me a great deal and I’m extremely happy. Thank you!
Awesome!
Worked on this particular vehicle for years without major repairs. Recently got the opportunity to purchase. I quickly acquired it with no regrets. Exceptionally quiet and decent power. My only complaint is limited cup holders and front storage for items. Vehicle was much improved by Saab for styling and ride.

Has never let me down, always there when you need
Purchase used with 48,000 miles. I now have 105,000 and it has not skipped a beat. I change the oil regularly ( do it myself) as the only downside to this engine is sludge. Change the oil regularly and you are looking at 300,000 with no problem whatsoever

2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer Ext
I bought this 2002 trailblazer used for $4500.00 in 2014 and it had 110,000 miles on it and I just sold it to a close friend of mine for $700 and it ended up having 170,000+ miles on it. It was a great vehicle and what I loved about my trailblazer was the fact that I was riding a lot higher than most people. The interior of the vehicle was great, it was fully loaded for a 2002 with Bose stereo system in it which I LOVED and the seats were leather like my car I have now has. The only downfall was the ball bearings and alignment wore out and after that started to go, then everything else seemed to start breaking which I've heard from a lot of people that around a certain mileage on those cars, they have a reputation of messing up. If they still made trailblazers, I would still recommend them to anyone because I got my money's worth out of it and was able to sell it in the end.
