I bought a Dodge Promaster from Topline Automotive.
I bought a Dodge Promaster from Topline Automotive. Eric was very helpful with all steps of the process, he explained everything very well and facilitated having the van checked by my mechanic before the purchase. Thank you Eric, I appreciate you sir.
Best car for Rideshare/Gig Work!
This is my 3rd Prius. For a couple years, we owned 2 Priuses (Prii?) at one time: a Green 2007 Base model with cloth seats and then added a Red 2009 Touring model with leather seats. I started driving for Uber/Lyft in the '09 Prius in Jan of 2015. The Chicago Uber/Lyft mileage rates were pretty low, so having a car that averaged 50 mpg was a plus. Then, after selling the '07, we traded in the '09 for the 2012 PPI. Bought it in Nov of 2018 at a Chicago Warehouse Dealer. It was in perfect shape and had tinted windows. Then in 2022 we moved from Chicago to Florida and bought a house with Solar Panels. I added Instacart to my Gig work and most of the time, my deliveries are on electric only miles. Even doing Gig work....I average only about $25 a week in Gas costs. In all 3 Prii....I've never needed any major repairs. I change the oil every 5k miles and have never needed new brakes yet on any of them since I do my best to use the coasting/regeneration method of braking.....which I believe extends the life of the brakes. Only regret is: the car has HEATED seats.....which was great in Chicago, but now here in Florida....wish they were Air Conditioned seats instead! I already have my eyes set on the new 2023 Prius Plug in (Prime?)....but will wait for them to come on the used car market. My current 2012 PPI will be too old for rideshare in 2027....so I have a good 3 more years to do research.

I bought a used car from Loui at Zee Motors about two
I bought a used car from Loui at Zee Motors about two years ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff was professional, honest, and extremely helpful. They gave me a fair value on my trade-in and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Even after two years, my car has been running great and has proven to be a solid, reliable purchase. It really shows that they stand behind the quality of the vehicles they sell. I also appreciated that there was never any pressure just straightforward, friendly service. If you’re looking for a dealership that’s trustworthy and customer-focused, I highly recommend Zee Motors. I’ll definitely be coming back when it’s time for my next car!
Best car I have ever owned
You know - every time I read a review about a PHEV there seems to be a comment something like "there was one car that only got 12 miles of range - why bother" - you have read it or heard it no doubt. They are referring to the Prius Plug-in. Well, I have owned my 2012 PHEV for almost 10 years - I purchased it in August 2012. I have 81,000 miles on it. The only thing I have done - besides normal maintenance - is replaced one set of tires and one 12V battery. The initial battery lasted almost 9 years. My lifetime MPG - measured at the pump - is 92MPG. I have measured every - single - fill-up. The car has only developed one rattle - it was on the "flying bridge" and I fixed it myself. NO OTHER RATTLES. The car has never left me stranded on the road. Every switch, button and knob works. The total maintenance expense (Toyota wants you to get it serviced every 5K - so I do) has been $3,098. If you divide that by 9.5 years it averages out to $326 a year. The body is pristine but it is kept in a garage. A normal prius hybrid has a battery of about 1 kWh. My PHEV has a 4.4 kWh battery. That humble additional 3.4 kWh has nearly doubled my MPG. It has been the best car I have ever owned and I am 69 years old.

i bought a 2018 Jeep Rubicon from them and traded my old
i bought a 2018 Jeep Rubicon from them and traded my old Jeep , great experience all around! the team was super honest, gave me fair trade in value and made me process quick and easy and fast , the car has been super reliable since , highly recommend
Most reliable car I've ever owned.
Gets 50 mpg on highway, and have hit 62 mpg when driving 35mph. If charged it gets 110 mpge. The fuel economy, when combined with the plugin averages 75-99 mpge. This car can work in pure hybrid mode also if you do not want to charge the battery every night. The overall maintenance is extremely low cost. The thing I love the most about this car is it's super reliable. It never has problems. I rarely have to fill it up with gas and when I do it doesn't cost very much. I also love the hatchback. This car is great for road trips. It's amazing how much you can fit in the back. It's like having it an SUV space wise.

a month ago excellent experience
We went in to look at a car we saw online. We were greeted immediately by a gentleman named Arash. He showed us the car but we saw another one we liked better. After a little paperwork we took it for a test drive and liked it. Arash took the time to explain the process as we went through it and in short order we drove off with our new to us car. It took about 1 hours to get what we needed. It didn't seem like a long time. Easiest car buying experience ever.
Lowest cost and most reliable vehicle ever!
This car provided for me the ideal size, large interior, plenty of headroom, comfortable and incredibly efficient. Tought me to be a better driver, and was the drove for pennies on the mile. Often got well over 100+ MPG with plug-in electric/hybrid combo. Oil changed on schedule was only required mx. These cars last forever if you take care of them.
There are 4 matching cars close to your year range.
