Brooklyn Auto Sales review

Had a great experience with Brooklyn Auto Sales, Denzel

Had a great experience with Brooklyn Auto Sales, Denzel was my main contact person, he was there every minute of the transaction from beginning to after the delivery of my C8 3LT Corvette.

2005 Lotus Elise Roadster review

Very reliable and very fast!

The Lotus Elise is a true sports car and that is all the company makes. This car is surprisingly comfortable even for tall drivers. Handling and acceleration are great for road or track and the unique styling of the Elise will set you apart from all the others.

Very nice car fair price good prep service all staff very helpful and competent. Overall great experience

2005 Lotus Elise Base review

Beautiful, sporty and reliable.

There is a reason these cars have had such low percentages of depreciation. A Toyota drivetrain for reliability along with stunning good looks and the kind of performance typically reserved for cars with way many more zeros attached to the price tag. The only price to pay is that the car has spartan creature comforts, but if that is the most important thing to you, let's be honest, this shouldn't be on the radar for you. Bang for buck, can't beat it with a Lotus Elise.

2005 Lotus Elise review

The type of car that requires dedication

This car is definitely not the most comfortable or practical car, so if you are looking to buy that you need to undersatand you will have to make some compromise. It is an exotic car and there are always people looking at it and you and often I found myself talking to complete strangers about it. Overall I enjoyed my experience with the care but as I said it isn?t perfect especially for daily commutes.

Nuccio Auto Group review

Bought a 1974 BMW 3.

Bought a 1974 BMW 3.0 CS sight unseen and received the car yesterday! I initially spoke to Bill the owner and after a brief discussion I felt I could trust what he was saying- It was true- we struck a deal and Chris-Mark and Bill answered every question quickly- fixed a couple of items and got the car shipped (at a crazy low price!!) Exceeded my expectations and I'll certainly have no reservations about doing business again with these guys!

2005 Lotus Elise review

The most fun car for the money, hands down.

The car is exiting and thrilling. The value of the car holds very well. It is daily derivable and very reliable. This is by far the most fun car for the money.

Bought a 2013 Gallardo! Car was in great condition!! Parker was great to deal with and answered all my questions. All transactions were smooth. Will buy again!!

2005 Lotus Elise review

Most fun car I have ever driven.

I'd give it five stars if it had a little more seat comfort. Might have to look into some padded covers. This car is not for everyone, just folks who REALLY love to drive.

an hour ago Wole Oluwalana "I was looking for an Lexus LX 570,2018,found one on..." I was looking for an Lexus LX 570,2018,found one on cars.com belonging to this awesome car shop, sent them a mail and I got a great deal from this sales executive called NICK, from my initial deposit to delivery to Jacksonville port this sales executive called NICK made it happen EFFORTLESSLY, there cars are so clean, in and out that even if don’t don’t have what I want in the future I would rather wait for them to get it for me. Any where in the world I don’t think anyone can get a better service offered by NICK and this wonderful Car Shop.
