Sunshine Tom is a must for the underdog!
Sunshine Tom is a must for the underdog!!! When everyone else says now, he comes through! Great man and service!!
2003 running great still!
2003 running great still! Power steering leak, but otherwise not a single mechanical issue. No rust, no oil (in Ma.) Not a sports car, but maybe like the girl from next door who you always loved. Just great.

Great experience. Highly recommended!
Nothing but good things to say about this place. I was in need of reliable used car that wasn't going to break the bank. They had a great selection and helped me pick out the right vehicle. No pressure tactics or anything. Everybody was professional and treated me great. I will be recommending them to family and friends.
Best and most reliable car ever!!
Bought my 2002 Lexus ES300 from the original owner in April 2021 w 161k miles. They had it serviced at a local Lexus dealership in NJ from day one to 110k miles. They had the timing belt, water pump and valve cover gasket all done at 88k miles. All this info was taken from the lexus owners website using the VIN. A few months after i bought it, the rear struts starting leaking, i had all 4 replaced, also replaced the original Alternator and AC compressor (it started to squeal). This spring i had to change the original starter. All original parts lasted nearly 20 years ! which proves the durability of Lexus (Toyota) parts! Replacement parts except the struts were replaced with GENCO. T This car now has 172k miles and i change the synthetic oil myself every 5k miles. This will last me many years, i don't plan on selling it until the wheels fall off which is never!! It rides like new with new struts, everything still works. Quiet like an EV, super solid and tight. The engine and transmission are solid. At 3k miles after my oil change no oil is burnt off, still shows full on the dipstick. There is a 2002 ES300 on YouTube as of about 3 years ago with 596k miles (highway) w. original engine & tranny. Just a testiment to the build quality

I can’t say enough good things about Nick!
I can’t say enough good things about Nick! From the very beginning, he was helpful, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure I got the right car. He answered all my questions, explained everything clearly, and made the whole sale feel comfortable and fair. This was hands down the best car-buying experience I’ve had. Thank you so much, Nick!
Very reliable luxury and fun
Love my es300 it’s been extremely reliable and even with almost 200,000 miles it still runs so smooth like it’s brand new, I would highly recommend this car or any early 2000s Lexus or Toyota to anyone!

Went in for oil change, was also looking at a new car
Went in for oil change, was also looking at a new car that I researched already on the internet
One of the MOST beautiful, reliable cars i bought.
I can not express enough how confident i am driving this car in terms of the choice i made buying it. The comfort, the smooth driving, the interface of the luxury features, the quality of the materials and the workmanship...... list is way too long. I might be the second or the third owner yet the engine has already hit 292000 kilometres (as of 05/2020). But incredibly it runs and drives as if the engine is not on at all. It is an ultimate pleasure driving this beauty. Extremely Easy to maintain, range and availability of the parts is vast. This will be a keeper. I am loving it.

Sam had a nice Audi midsize out front that was just what I was looking for! He helped make sure the car stayed in great shape and went above and beyond to find the right car for me. A reasonable business owner with thirteen years of experience. I’m grateful!

I went to Sunset Auto 1/11/25 looking for a new vehicle
I went to Sunset Auto 1/11/25 looking for a new vehicle for myself so I could give my son my truck. I had previously researched the car that I wanted online. I checked the Carfax and when I went in, I was able to test drive it and Hans was so honest respectful and I didn’t even have an appointment, but he told me to come back in an hour, and my transaction was Remarkable. Thanks
My 2001 Lexus es300 sat from 2021.
My 2001 Lexus es300 sat from 2021. It's a horribly unreliable car, but only because after it got tossed around the owners have not been responsible for it and ruined it. 189k miles rebuilt motor, axles, alternators, cooling system, over 5k in parts and labor. It was tough, and now the transmission is clearly giving out. I can't say the car is trash because its one of many that were junked, I just wish it was taken care of. That's how much maintenance and history matters people!

Best car I’ve ever owned.
I’ve had mine for 10 years and find it is the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. I only wish it got a little better mileage in city driving.

I liked how they didnt play the "let me ask the manager"
I liked how they didnt play the "let me ask the manager" game all day, that tactic is exhausting. Jeffrey and John worked a long time trying to get me what I wanted and within my budget. I know I was driving them crazy, but they stayed kind and professional! Everyone I dealt with was great! Shout out to Jeffrey, John and Nick. This is my first Nissan and I love it! I hope their service dept is as good as the sales and financing department.
A beast
These things will most likely outlive you. And don’t let it’s size fool you, this car is a beast. Lexus did amazing with this generation model and has taken me everywhere in every weather condition. Take care of it and it will take care of you.

Great customer service.
Great customer service. I bought a Toyota Sequoia and it was a great find. Haven’t had any issues with the car and drives smooth. This was a bargain gem!
Dream car!
I bought this car 20 years ago, and I have never once regretted it. I have driven it almost every day, and managed to rack up 446,000 miles. I kid you not! This car is a keeper!

They made the process as quick as possible.
They made the process as quick as possible. Unfortunately, I didn't test the retractable sun roof shade because it is shot and needs replacement...don't know how much that will be. Check engine light came on. Don't know if they blew out the code so it wouldn't show, but thermostat needs replaced and NOT cheap! Price was decent, but not happy about deficiencies.
A very smooth and reliable ride.
It drives smooth. I did some research before buying this Lexus and other people also agreed that this Lexus was a great deal and a reliable car to own.
