Car Depot review

My nephews car died on his 17th birthday so I was in the

My nephews car died on his 17th birthday so I was in the market for a used but reliable vehicle for a teen. I found that and more at Car Depot. Daria and Nik helped me through the entire process and I had the perfect car in 2 hours. They even fixed some items per my request through their shop as part of my purchase. The paperwork was a breeze. The car runs like a top. Fair price point. And my teen LOVES it!

1997 Nissan Maxima GXE review

This car is Immortal!!!

I got my 97 Maxima GXE 5 speed from someone used. It wasn't in the greatest shape to begin with. Repaired a few things and I drive the heck out of it and it just keeps on going. Now has 236,300 miles and wants more!
