H & H Tire Auto Sales review
First day I spoke with Cassie, and forgive me if I misspelled her name. She was very helpful, pleasant and professional. Prior to purchasing the 2019 Ford Fiesta, all of the personnel were very helpful, friendly, polite and knowledgeable. Cassie was my salesperson and she was awesome with her kind soft spoken voice. The person who was with me knew some of the staff including the owner. Overall an outstanding group of professional people. Thanks to all the staff for their support now and in the future. Keep up the good work.
2004 Pontiac GTO review
This car is faster than I imagined. I bought it from a friend who kept it up very nicely. It's in beautiful shape inside and out. Everything about this car I love except for two things: 1. Getting in and out is difficult. It could just be me. 2. It's hard to see out the back window using the rearview mirror because of the angle of the back window. But other than that ... it's the bomb!!

US Auto Network review
My husband has been looking for a second vehicle to drive to work. He found it on Craigslist and call to see if someone would stay a little late so he could come look at it. When we pulled up after closing time, we were greeted by Murad. He directed us to the SUV we were looking for, opened it, and let us take it for a ride. We could not help but notice the high quality cars and SUVs on the lot. I was hesitant to ask prices and was very surprised at the reasonable prices he quoted. Murad helped us find a newer, high-quality SUV than we had come to see. He was very helpful and not a pushy salesman. We loved working with him. Just very happy with the like new Volvo XC60 we purchased. Our family and friends will be hearing about the great vehicles and deals at US Auto Network. Thanks again, Jay & Carol
2005 Pontiac GTO review
So September 20th 2025 I finally bought my dream car 2005 gto impulse blue with the blue seats with only 28500 miles on it. It has a stage 2 cam 243 ported heads long tube headers full cat back bora exhaust, ported throttle body, drag bags 18inch after market rims and brand new tires voolant cool intake 220 degrees thermostat. Its so freaking fast like 4 real the recipe for work was 10k thats without rims and tires. Its basically 500 hp I live in Chicago and had it shipped from Oregon. No rust even on under carriage paid $23500 out right 2k to ship and $2200 for tax title and plates so total $27500. I wouldn't take it back for nothing! It holds its valve very well and will only go up. Its not my daily driver either just my fun car i use when I want just not in the snow lol.

Power MotorcarsReviews
Power Motorcars review
This car sales business only sells hard to find collectable cars usually at least 10 years old or older. I was looking for a classic Toyota MR2 Spyder 2 seater convertible as a fun second car - not a daily driver. These cars are very hard to find in good condition and low mileage. They only produced ~79,000 cars over 6 years and only 2,800 for the 2004 production year. They had a 2001 and a 2004. The 2001 was a dark navy blue color and the 2004 was in the rare bright solar yellow color. The car was 22 years old and only had 2 owners with ~22,100 miles (a rare car in a rare color, driven about 900 miles per year)! The car was in excellent condition - no rust, convertible top in great condition just a few minor rock dings on the hood, and a very small ding on the left rear quarter panel (apparently, some opened their car door into it), leather seats in great condition just minor wear on the drivers left bolster. The business is basically a one man operation. The owner Karim has a very easy going and pleasant personality. He does not come on strong and is not pushy - how refreshing for a used car salesman! I put down a $1,000 deposit to secure the car - at that point, it was now my vehicle. I needed to have some IRA shares sold from my retirement account and since it was Thursday, the sell order was made on Friday. Funds become available on Monday and transferred to my bank account on Tuesday. Karim had no issues with waiting over the weekend to get the Cashiers Check issued on Tuesday. The car was missing the front license plate bracket as front plates are required in the state of Illinois but not from Tennessee which is where it was from. Karim went the extra mile to get an OEM style bracket to correctly fit the car. By the time, I had the check, the bracket had come in and was installed on the car. I would highly recommend Power Motorcars without reservation, if they have the car that you're looking for. You might want to check them out first to avoid the potential hassles from other used car business. Please note that I did not trade in a car, finance the car, nor had it delivered to my home so I have no point of reference for those potential aspects of buying a used car. I would suspect that they would also go smoothly based on my overall interaction with the business. Also, please note that this business does not have a service department as they do not have a car service bay. My car was taken to the local Toyota dealership to have an oil change and any services required to make it good to go for selling.
2005 Pontiac GTO review
I bought my GTO new in 2006 and just sold it a week ago - owned for 11 years and 98,000 miles. Only major problem ever was a crack in the radiator. That was a common problem for them. I replaced it with an all aluminum radiator and never another problem. One of the most reliable cars I ever owned. As far as performance - you couldn't beat it in that price range. A Corvette drivetrain and refined suspension plus great braking for about $30,000. Today you can get one around $10,000 and if it was well maintained you are still getting a steal. Looks department - I was still getting compliments 11 years later. They did a great job making in my opinion one of the best looking 4-seat sports coupes ever. It looked like it wanted to go 100 miles an hour when it was standing still. Not a bad viewing angle from any direction. Overall I would have to say it was probably my favorite car I ever owned and I have had Corvettes, Camaros, Mustangs and even a couple of imports like an RX-7 twin turbo. I would have kept it, but hey, life changes. If you are interested in one of these, you will not be disappointed in pulling the trigger and putting one in your garage.

Legacy Motors Auto Group LLC review
Have you ever wanted to attend a Mecum Collectors auto show? If so, you have to visit Legacy Motors Auto Group, LLC, a used car lot on route 11 between Danville and Bloomsburg, with a carefully curated collection of premium brands. Our salesman Skip was totally first class from greeting us as we entered the lot til we drove out the next day in our new-to-us, used, beautiful, BMW X7. Although the business is relatively new, Skip is a veteran in the car business and can really show you around a car you are looking at, the guy knows cars. So, if you're looking for a car and you can't find it, "it's worth the trip to buy from Skip". Thanks Skip and you too, Brandon, true gentlemen and easy to deal with.
2004 Pontiac GTO review
One of just 1,591 HO-equipped GTO Convertibles produced in 1967, this car features a long list of coveted factory options that include an upgrade to Ram Air set up, power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, power convertible top working 8 Track Tape Player and a 3.90:1 Safe-T-Track Posi-traction rear end. Only 1.9 percent of the total 1967 GTO production run were allocated to HO-equipped convertibles, making this car extremely rare. This Pontiac GTO presents beautifully in its Red finish with a black convertible top, highlighted by a set of Rally II rims. The interior is classic GTO with black vinyl upholstery, wood-grain dashboard, Rally gauges with a tachometer, sport steering wheel and factory-issue seat belts, both front and rear. This particular GTO is a low-production example with all of the right equipment, making this a very desirable, high-performance classic. The Rebuild and Balance of this HO 9786133 WS motor was performed by a professional engine build speed shop to provide peak performance with long engine life. The rebuild included re-work of the 670 heads, 72cc chambers with a fresh 3 angle competition valve job, resurfacing of deck, new Viton positive valve seals and new hardened exhaust seats. The 9786133 WS motor was fitted with a new complete Stroker Rotating assembly from Butler Performance with dished Forged Piston to provide 9.75:1 compression with the 72cc #670 cylinder heads fitted with a COMP Ram Air IV Cam, Scorpion Raving 1052 Roller Rocker Arms, 4 barrel Quadra-Jet with a RAM AIR configuration sitting on top of the original 9786286 intake manifold with Power Coated HO D Port Exhaust Manifolds in place for connection to the new 2.5” PYPES no X- pipe SS exhaust system, running on pump gas 92-93 octane.

I have always wanted one. Now that I have it I am not disappointed. Pontiac knows how to make excitement. The Red leather in my car is just beautiful and the seats are the best ever.

Second owner of 1970 GTO Judge. Manual steering and manual brakes make for a handful, but straightline is definitely a gas! Everyone watches and talks about how they wished they would have kept the great one from their past. Inefficient, uncomfortable and a task to drive but will not trade for anything.

2005 Pontiac GTO review
Back in 2005 I never thought I would purchase a $35,000 car, but the Pontiac GTO had everything I was looking for in a sporty car: Excellent styling, rear wheel drive, large powerful V8 engine, solid transmission, and a stiff suspension. I am SO glad I bought it when I did, rather than waiting for the "new" Camaro to debut. The Camaro was a HUGE disappointment, with its high belt-line (meaning much smaller windows that are too high to comfortably rest your arm on the window sill while driving!), poor visibility, and cheap interior plastics. In contrast, the GTO has large windows, very nice soft plastics in the interior and very nice suede fabric on the door panels. The seats provide excellent support. While the GTO is low to the ground (it IS a sport car, after all), it is not difficult to get into and out of as many sporty cars are. And you do not feel like you are sitting in a "bucket" that you need to climb out of, as is the case with most unibody constructed cars. The LS2 6.0L V8 engine is awesome, with plenty of power in reserve at all times. Yes, premium fuel is recommended, but at least the engine has no gimmicks like a turbo that needs to be cooled down after you stop, before you turn the engine off! The automatic transmission is also a very strong 4-speed (including overdrive) model, rather than those newer 6-, 7-, and 8-speed automatics that cannot decide what gear to be in when you are trying to accelerate quickly or climb the mountains! The steering and suspension are very tight, with no play whatsoever. Problems? The throttle-body unit had to be replaced, and would have been under warranty if I had driven it more in the first 3 years (warranty period). The radiator sprung a leak after 120,000 miles, and a small plastic heater valve developed a crack at 146,000 miles, causing all coolant to drain out; then the replacement part also cracked within 3 weeks! But that has been it. One interior mistake was the standard power seats. When you are in a hurry to get into or out of the back seat, you need to press a button and hold it to move the seat forward to give enough space to climb in and out of the back. This mechanism has broken on BOTH of my front seats; the passenger seat now cannot move at all; it cannot even recline. I have not had it fixed because the estimate for parts and labor was close to $1100! Speaking of the back seat, you would be hard-pressed to find a two-door car with as roomy a back seat as this one. Back seat passengers have a tremendous amount of room. Because of the different rear-impact standards in the USA from Australia (where the GTO was made), the gasoline tank had to be relocated for the US market to behind the back seat. The result is that the trunk is quite small. I have not had a problem with it, but that's because I travel alone. My GTO has 147,000 miles now and is still on the original set of brakes! I am upset that this vehicle is nearing the end of its reliable life (how much longer can the water pump, fuel pump, hoses, etc last before I get stranded?) because there is really nothing else to replace it at a reasonable price. The Camaro design is poor (a shame because I usually love the feel and characteristics of GM cars), and I don't trust Ford (Mustang) or Chrysler (Dodge Challenger) reliability; I have heard of too many problems with them (Challenger = 8-speed automatic transmission.... ridiculous!). And I don't want to buy any technology that is older than this GTO. I don't mind continuing to pay for repairs, since I still love this car, but I just don't want to get stranded in some remote unfamiliar area, away from repair shops I trust. I wonder about parts availability in the future too, since it is a Pontiac, and there were so few GTO's built during its 3-year run (I believe it was limited to 18,000 per year?).

Volkswagen of Downtown Chicago review
We had an excellent experience working with James Christy at Volkswagen! From the moment we walked in, James was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful without ever being pushy. He took the time to answer all of our questions, made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and helped us find exactly what we were looking for.
