This guy was awesome very helpful and gave us a great deal on the car that we bought! Definitely would recommend this place to others for sure!
Fun and economical car, great value
The car is a great balance between performance, economy, comfort, and versatility. It manages to do all of those things well, if not great. It won't win any races but it's fun to drive.

World Class Service!
World Class Service! Scott and everyone at Auto Group of Louisville are amazing at what they do. I have been buying cars for 25 years, owning any and every vehicle you can think of. My experience with this team will keep me as a long time customer. This team is another level when it comes to customer service. Thank you Scott and team!
Solid, high quality, and fun to drive
My third VW Golf - this one has been the best - love it for it's versatility, low cost of ownership, reliability (only things I've had to replace is tires and battery in 112,000 miles) and joy of driving - not the fastest off the line but cornering, braking and high-speed driving / passing - wow!

They have a wonderful selection Marty is the man

Happy customer
I went looking for a specific car and they had one. I knew going into this search the car wouldn’t be perfect because of its age. They worked with me on so many levels to make the car exactly what I wanted and kept the price at or below the advertised price. Their cars are beautiful and they stand behind them so you will be happy. I recommend buying a used car from offlease motors simply because you will get what you want! BTW, Susan is a doll
Fun and reliable
I just turned 40k on my base model. Beside the normal oil changes, I recently replaced the Continental tires with the same tires ! I have owned many cars in my life, but never enjoyed any of them as much as this little hot hatch !

It was my first time buying a car, and I can honestly say
It was my first time buying a car, and I can honestly say that 805 Auto Group made the entire experience incredibly easy and stress-free. The team walked me through every step of the process with patience and expertise. These are truly top-quality salespeople who genuinely care about their customers. I would highly recommend 805 Auto Group to anyone looking for a smooth, hassle-free car-buying experience. I’ll definitely be back for my next vehicle and will be recommending them to all my friends and family! Their professional approach turned what could have been an overwhelming process into a pleasant and straightforward one that left me completely satisfied with my purchase.

This was our second time working with Derrick Buccacio
This was our second time working with Derrick Buccacio and finding a vehicle we love. Derrick is always personable and professional. He doesn’t pressure you into things and is honest. One thing that stands out with me about him is he always gets back to you whether he thinks he’s making a sale or not. A lot of salesmen I notice only care to contact you back if they think they’re making money off you. Derrick always gets back to our questions and concerns regardless. To us that says a lot about his character and makes us always wants to go through him to get a vehicle. We highly recommend Derrick to anyone.

I had a great experience purchasing my 2025 Mazda CX-5
I had a great experience purchasing my 2025 Mazda CX-5 Preferred from Hiley Mazda Arlington. After speaking with several dealerships and salespeople, this was the only team that worked with me in a straightforward and transparent way. Jennifer kept me in the loop throughout the process — thank you, Jennifer. We were able to agree on a fair out-the-door price ahead of time, and she honored it exactly when I came in. No pressure, no surprises, and the process was efficient from start to finish. I appreciate the professionalism and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a Mazda.

Salem’s Best Kept Secret for car shopping.
It’s been about 2 months since my purchase, I came in to Salem motor sports looking for something to fit my commute to work in something respectable, I absolutely love Chris, he is simply wonderful guy. If your looking to find top quality Cars for crazy affordable price minus the haggle and hassle, this is the only guy to go to. He surprised me with an black Impala LTZ he had detailed. So after one look at the cleanest Car(interior looked like it was never used.) and a quick test drive and I was in love. After I got home I looked under the hood. Looked brand new? Best Buy I’ve ever seen. I’m so lucky to have found Chris, he’s a guy that really wants you to get the best for your money. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
There are 20 matching cars close to your year range.
