AT AGE 75. I'VE BOUGHT A FEW CARS - SOME NEW - SOME USED. SINCE 1968, I'VE DRIVEN ONLY LINCOLNS. HAVING JUST BEEN RELEASED FROM THE VETERANS MEDICAL CENTER IN MIAMI AFTER THROAT SURGERY (CANCER) I WAS LOOKING FOR A 2004-2008 LINCOLN TOWN CAR. I FOUND ONE AT TURNPIKE MOTORS. I DROVE UP WITH MY GODSON FROM MIAMI, WITHIN AN HOUR, I PURCHASED THE CAR. IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE ENTIRE PROCESS WAS THE MOST PLEASANT CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. KEVIN IS BY FAR THE MOST PROFESSIONAL AUTO SALESMAN I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF DEALING WITH. FIVE STARS AND HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION FOR KEVIN & TURNPIKE MOTORS OF POMPANO BEACH, FLORIDA. THANKS CARS.COM

I bought my 2008 Cruiser in 2011 used with 30k miles on it. It's been 13 years and I STILL have it. It now has 170k miles and it didn't start having issues until maybe 2 or 3 years ago. First thing that cut out was the AC but I consider that a luxury and can't afford to get it fixed so I've been driving without it for a while. Maybe 5 years ago the suspension had to be replaced and the camshaft sensor had to be replaced like 3 times over the course of a year. About 3 years ago the radiator blew and needed to be replaced. And just last year ('23) the control arm needed to be replaced, and it started giving me issues overheating. Just this month (August '24) it needed a coolant flush, new thermostat, new radiator fan, and fuel pump. But with all the old car repairs, every time something is fixed, it keeps going and the repairs hold up. This little car has lasted longer than I ever thought it would and I'm going to keep it going as long as I can. Other than engine issues as the car has aged, the rest of it is decent. Good leg room, surprising amount of space. It's gotten me through 3 moves and I've packed so many moving boxes in there I didn't need to rent a moving van. I'm 35 now and still driving around my first car (mainly because I'm poor but whatever). I have so many good memories with this cat and I'm so glad it's lasted so long.

I love my elantra. I haven't hardly had any problems with it at all. However I also experienced the paint chipping on my white hyundai. I was also told that it was a rock. Now reading others comments about their paint shipping I question it. I paid out of pocket because it wasn't worth going through insurance with deductible and everything. Other than that I have had absolutely no problem with my Hyundai. I also like the look of it on the outside. I thought about trading for a newer one but I also don't like the styles of the new ones. I wish they still made them like the 2016 exterior. I would love to have a newer one but I would like for it to look like the 2016 hyundai. The reason for that is you could look at the car and see it was a Hyundai elantra. Now I feel like the new launchers look like every other car on the road.

This car is amazing. I bought it at the end of Feb 2021 for $11,000. That was about 4-6 weeks before the price of used cars skyrocketed. The first time i took it to a mechanic for some scheduled maintenance i found out that i have a “Unicorn.” It is quick and handles like a dream. I love that i don’t have to fuel it up as much as the gasoline version. The six speed manual transmission is amazing. A fun fact about this car is that it isn’t actually a Jetta. It’s a Golf. My manual 6 speeed TDI sportwagen is the most fun car i have ever owned.

I needed a car with an automatic transmission because my knee was getting worse. I had a 2011 Cruze with a manual transmission and liked it but I traded it in for a 2019 Cruze. Going on six years now and I don't want another vehicle. Reliable? Very. I don't drive like a maniac and I keep up with maintenance. My usb port went kaput but I replaced it myself. My phone would not connect to the infotainment system. I fixed that by removing the fuse to the radio while it was on then turning off the car and then plugging it back in. It rebooted the system. I garage my Cruze and watch where I park it, so no dents anywhere. I intend to keep this car for as long as possible.

This car is great for a first car! I’ve gotten this car as 16 year old brand new in 2015. Since then I had many oil changes and tire rotations. I use this car for transportation of friends and family, going to work and school. As of today I have over 200,000+ miles on this and it is still going strong. With me getting around 39-45mpg every day. (Back when gas was under a dollar I only paid $7 for a fill up. Now it’s $20 so definitely worth it instead of paying $40-$80 per fill up.) The only issue I have with it is the check engine light is on and doing diagnostics it has emissions issues with a small leak. The inside you get a basic radio I suggest getting a Bluetooth audio receiver so you can listen to your own music on your phone. Driving at night is one of the worst things in this car. You get blinded every time you go past a car in the opposite lanes. Also the cloth seats are amazing your xxx is never frozen compared to a leather seat.

The women were very helpful and informative and I got a great deal on car

The last car I owned- a silver 2004 TL. I traded in my 1993 Vigor (after 11 years of Japanese car excellence- no issues or problems ever) for it and was instantly enamored. Looked great, handled beautifully, an absolute pleasure to drive. Gas prices were still reasonable in the mid-00’s and gas mileage was reasonable. I finally had to (very begrudgingly) sell it after 3 years as the combination of car payment, insurance and garage parking in downtown Philadelphia began exceeding $1,000/month. The model I had is now hard to believe 20 years old, but if given the opportunity I’d take it back in a second.

Owned car since new. Never had a problem with it. Normal repair items, brakes, muffler, Tires, battery over 16 years. Have best engine 1.8 and transmission 4 speed auto, avoid other transmission. Had 2 recalls which was fixed. One of the best cars I owned out of 15 over years. Great basic reliable car. Still runs well.

Bought a used car with my son. No pressure, test drove numerous cars, easy experience for a change. We didn't feel trapped as most car dealerships do and not a bunch of hidden fees. Good prices, honest about cars, provide CarFax report. I would recommend them for a used car.

Looking for a good reliable car at reasonable price for our new driver. FOUND IT!! Drives great, great safety features, less worry from Dad and Mom.

Just had the experience of my lifetime.. Bought a 2008 VW Beetle,, black with tan leather interior, all the bells and whistles on this 30k convertible. Great car loved by his previous owner and now by us. He looks and drives like the day. He rolled off the assembly line.

The Wow experience. From the time I stepped into this familt owed and operated business it was great. I purchased a car for my daughter who does not live in Florida. Sebastian was amazing. He provided me with a great price for the car I purchased and the shipped the car to my daughter. A plus customer service. I would definitely recommend. Thank you so much. Mr. Car!

I just bought a used 2012. It has all the options offered for that year. I am am very pleased with it. It is lust like new with 140,000 miles. It drives and handles like a brand new car.

Love my new car .. the process was quick and easy, you washed and detailed it for me.. totally satisfied. Thank you guys!! ,💯💯👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁😁😁😁

the performance of the manual transmission is fantastic. Rare find!! I would highly recommend this car to anyone , particularly at the price. A true collectors item

Honest and easy process, thorough and helpful communication. Recently traded in my 2008 Audi TT for a 2017 Audi TT at Ambar Motors. I contacted them from an online used car site. I live three hours away. Marcos responded to my inquiry and went above and beyond to send me pictures and videos to feel comfortable about the vehicle. When I was ready to talk/text about the numbers, I worked with Luis. We negotiated and agreed upon a fair price including my trade-in. I put a deposit down and planned to drive to their shop a few days later. Luis was very helpful with keeping in touch and helping me with the steps needed on my end to do this as I was new to the FL process. Did I read the “one star” reviews and was I super nervous about the whole thing? YES. But, do not get swayed by those reviews. Everything went exactly as Luis said it would. The car was as described. Smooth sailing through the purchase. Two months later, Luis called to see how the car is working out for me. I love the car and am sooooo thankful for the whole Ambar team. I highly recommend them. You would be in good hands !!

The 7.3 is unarguably one of the best diesel engines ever put in a pickup. The 2000 was a little lacking in hp but with the help of a cold air intake, exhaust, and a programmer it is an unstoppable animal! I raise cattle so I work mine almost daily hauling hay, equipment, and cows. I am always impressed with the ease it does these tasks!

Found our car at a local Toyota dealership. Great service. Was looking for Low mileage and a newer car. Great gas mileage also. Paid car off, but didn't get any deal for doing that was hoping to get free oil changes like my son did.

Joe was very professional and helpful! We like the car we bought. Very Great process!

We bought our 2004 Solara from the Toyota dealership (used) in 2005. I use it exclusively and it is the best car I have ever owned. It has never let me down, never had any problems beyond normal wear and tear. As noted by other reviewers, the seat is not the most comfortable but I was able to solve that problem with a small back cushion that fills in the lower back gap. Gas mileage is good, sound system great, and it’s still a fine looking car. I’ve had it rust-proofed and there are no serious issues in that department. I have a great mechanic who does twice-yearly maintenance on it, and I’ve had she usual run of wear and tear fixes, but definitely nothing out of the ordinary. If you find one on the used car market, snap it up. Mine is now 20 years old and it is not for sale.

WAS PASSING BY AND A CAR I REALLY WANTED WAS LOOKING AT ME. IT WAS ON A RAINY SATURDAY, AND THE MONDAY i GOT THERE IT WAS GONE. I GO THEIR ONCE IN A WHILE AND LOOK AT THEIR CARS AND PRICES. THEY USUALLY HAVE A VAST VARIETY OF CHOICES. LIKE EVERY THING ELSE IF YOU ARE A CAR GUY, LIKE MYSELF 1 KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR. iF i HAD ANY DOUBT, THEIR IS A MECHANIC I DEAL WITH AND HE CHECK THE UNDERNEATH CAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY THING YOU CANNOT SEE. OTHER THAN THAT GREATEST SHOW IN TOWN FOR A CHEAP RIDE.

built like a mini military tank with style and performance I have an 18 year old car (2005 model S40 with manual trans) and its just amazing Those years this was imported from Sweden as a competition to the BMS 328 series....but they couldn't beat the bimmer and in due course of time they stopped importing. I would call it an European Toyota

Was supposed nice and willing to work with me even tho my history was bumped and I didn’t have much down still was able to get me in a amazing reliable car within the hour and I was on the road.

2000 B3000 5sp manual. 240k+ miles and counting. Pros: descent small truck that is capable of being a productive work truck when combined with a trailer for hauling. Lower gears have plenty of power for towing. Very inexpensive to own and operate over the long term due to excellent reliability. It’s easy to work on for common problems such as alternator, water pump, etcetera. In 17 years, the most I’ve had to do is rebuild the front suspension - new tie rod ends, sway bars, ball joints, etcetera, replace an alternator, water pump, and a few other minor issues. I use this vehicle nowadays to pull a lawn mower trailer with a riding mower and gear, and for basic commuting in place of my F150. Cons: cheaply made interior - mostly the seats. The rest is basic, but functional. Leaks oil. Rear main seal, probably. Annoying but tolerable, as long as it has enough oil to run right. Higher gears have no torque. It feels like you have to have your foot way deep in the gas pedal to get it to keep highway speed and accelerate above 70. It’s rated for around 148 to 150 horse power, which is lacking, to say the least. Biggest con: HORRIBLE gas mileage for such a small truck. It gets around 15 mpg in town on a good day, and around 21 on the highway. This is just not right. I owned a full size Ford truck, 1990 model, with a 5.0 liter V8 that got about the same mpg. Ford and Mazda need to come fix this problem. This truck should be designed to get in excess of 200 hp and 30 mpg from the 3.0L engine it has. It SHOULD NOT be burning the excess fuel in the catalytic converter. Overall impression: I absolutely do recommend this vehicle for its utility and reliability. I paid about $6000 for this vehicle when it was 5 years old with around 60k miles, and I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth considering I’ve probably spent less than $2k in maintenance in 17 years, including tires and batteries. I’m just really aggravated at auto manufacturers because they have no standard for fuel efficiency and performance, especially in the small truck line of vehicles.

They are very friendly and accommodating the prices are low and reasonable they even help you find insurance if you don’t have any

(owner of three 06/07 g6 GT/GTPs convertibles) Wonderful, sporty look. Design is great with minimal flaws such as cover that opens when top comes down malfunctioning or air vents coming out. Seats look great but sit in this car longer then two hours you'll wish you weren't. Every car I've seen has a rip in driver seat, you'll know what I mean if you own one most likely. Engine and transmission are strong and reliable with little maintenance needed. Things like CV joints, ball joints, sway bars, etc you'll need to replace often along with many electrical details and oil/tranny leaks. All around amazing, going on five years with my first one from 132k miles to 203k miles it runs just as it did the day I bought it.

Best dealer ever, they have the best prices , with the best finacing available, the help be gettin the car that i wanted. I recommend this

Hey my guy I can tell you exactly what's wrong with it and the oil pump isn't it. It's 1 or 2 problems and those are going to be either your balance shafts have worn out and seized up or you intake cam phaser has worn out. But being it's not starting anymore I'm willing to bet money it's your balance shafts. Had the same problem with my 2.0T "Red Warning Oil pressure shut engine off light"

Just bought A 2015 Infiniti Q50 from FL Auto Trend. And got a great deal a got me financing quickly and drove away within an hour thank you so much David. I will send all my friends 🙏

My 08 caravan has 371,000 and still going, it has had a few issues with brakes replaced often, the front control arms and a front axel was replaced around 250,000 miles but overall I love this van so much I don't trust the newer ones, we bought brand new and purchased the lifetime wrap around warranty, so after 16 years I still drive it, although we have two newer dodge vehicles a truck and charger, I prefer my van
