Excellent experience.
Excellent experience. Showed up after they closed. Gentleman came outside (working late) and asked if I would like to test drive a car. We test drove it and purchased well after they closed. Polite, honest, and trustworthy through the process.
Perfect beginner enthusiast car.
If you want something that has a little bit of pep, looks good, doesn’t break. This is the car for you. Low maintenance and the parts aren’t to expensive and they are easy to find. Running strong at 168,000 miles and I wouldn’t think twice about driving it across the country right now. Only complaint is some wind noise and the back seats don’t fold down. It has an amazing quiet but nice engine rumble when getting on the gas. Not to amazing on gas but not terrible either. The Manuel mode works great still no issues and the sound system sounds amazing still and holds up to newer vehicles. The car itself looks like it was made in 2007 or 8, I’d have to give that to the high quality paint and the nailed the design on the front of the car, the rear could use some work though. Overall my favorite car I’ve owned.

Felix and Mina were great!
Felix and Mina were great! I called in at about 10:30am and Felix got me the info I needed immediately and was able to test drive 30min after our call. I explained to Mina on our test drive I was crunched for time and he got me off the lot in my new car in approximately 45 mins! I thought I was only going to have time for a test drive but these guys made everything happen that was needed for me to get into my new ride. It was hands down a great overall experience and I definitely recommend everyone to give these guys a visit if you’re looking for a car. Thank you Felix and Mins and I look forward to seeing you in future!
2001 IS 300 is a very reliable automobile!
I am the original owner of a 2001 IS300 Lexus. I currently have 270000 miles and I see the car running to at least 400 k easily, it's that strong. My alternator went out at 250,000 miles and my fuel pump went out at 260,000. These engines and transmissions are amazing but everything around it may need attention as mentioned above. You may end up spending up to $3,000 to replace the things around the motor but I think it's worth it considering the cost of a new vehicle these days. I truly believe this is one of the most reliable cars ever built. This Car has never broken down and it's just kept me going and going. And yes it was built in Japan!

Mike B. Reached out to me and was so sincerely helpful, courteous and kind. He found the perfect SUV within my parameters and made sure I was happy with my purchase. I recommend highly- thank you, Mike B and Sell your Car Fast dealership!
You want a fun, reliable, commuter? Get one
If you enjoy driving a sports car, but like having a cozy drive and a less-strained back, this is the car for you. My 2001 IS300 has 272,000 and has been maintained it’s whole life. It still rides just as nicely as I imagine it would when it was new. The interior and gauges make you feel like you are driving something special. There is a certain level of class but angst that this car radiates. My buddy put it best. He said, “You want a Civic Si, but don’t want to own a Civic Si? Then you need an IS300.” It’s rear drive and has a sport mode that enables you to have a bit of fun (safely and responsibly of course..) And despite the fact that Lexus badged it and sold it here (in the states) don’t let it distract you from the racing pedigree that Toyota put all over this car. It has a Toyota Supra engine in it for Christ sake!

I recently assisted my daughter and her husband in
I recently assisted my daughter and her husband in purchasing a new Chevy Trax at Golf Mill Chevrolet and it was one of the best new car buying experiences I have ever had. I contacted Christopher over the phone based on his excellent reviews and set up an appointment and from that point forward I was extremely impressed with Christopher's communication, honesty, product knowledge and professionalism. On the second contact both my daughter and her husband were able to be there and they too were very impressed and satisfied and they purchased the vehicle. Christopher is very detailed to make sure all steps of the purchase and delivery process were completed including a tour of the dealership service department and introduction with the Service Manager and Service Advisor. All other employees we encountered at the dealership were also very friendly and efficient - finance, sales manager, cashier and other sales staff. I worked for GM for 31 years and purchased many, many new GM vehicles and again this was one of the best ever purchase experiences!! Bill S
Best car I've ever owned.
EXTREMELY reliable for what you get. A very good competitor of the BMW 3 Series. Toyota did a great job with this car. Powerful enough, has a nice torque, interior is pretty good compared to the BMW and it sounds and looks beautiful.
