I paid the maximum resale value of a ten year old Audi thinking that the car had been well maintained. I did my best to look it over, and could not see any serious oil leaks, the engine was strong and sounded pretty good. The body was in pretty good shape, and the guy was up-front over the phone about the few dents it had. I probably would give this one star otherwise. I drove in from out of state, and when he arrived at our meeting place, I immediately noticed that the tail pipe was sagging down, and upon inspection, I saw that it was broken. He said that I could get it welded, but that is technically illegal in my state to weld two old pieces of exhaust pipe together, and there was so much corrosion on it, that it would have been impossible anyway. So he took off $100 from the agreed price, and paid for the title transfer fees, and we made the deal. The next morning, the check engine light went on when I started the car, and then halfway home the tailpipe fell apart because two clamps had rusted through, and the connector pipe slid off. So I had to drive the last 20 miles or so with no muffler. Pretty embarrassing, but I was able to fix it easily with a couple $2.50 clamps when I got home. The next day changed the original fuel filter dated from 2006, and then I pulled the spark plugs which also looked original, and found oil on top of four out of six of them. I eventually figured out that the cam carrier housing gasket was leaking. This will cause the coil packs to go bad quickly if not addressed. Parts and special tools alone to do this job are about $700. A shop would charge about $1,500 parts and labor. I am gathering the parts and plan on doing it myself in a week or so. In the meantime, I still have to figure out why the check engine light keeps going on. My suspicion is that the low-pressure fuel pump is going bad. Overall, I think the car is decent, but I should have paid probably about $1,500 less, and the fact is Im pretty sure A + knew about most of the major problems, but covered them up knowing I would be stuck with it once I was back in my state. I would not buy from them again. Also, the post earlier by Camaro about being able to take the airbag back to the dealership for a recall works for A+. I recognize the dog in his picture that he showed me when I was there.

BUYER BEWARE! I would not recommend buying anything from this dealer. Very pushy and seemed in a hurry to unload a vehicle. I was saved by running a carfax report on a potential purchase of a 2002 Jeep Liberty and found the vehicle has a recall for an airbag issue that could deploy unexpectedly. This guy didnt even run a report on this vehicle upon his purchase from an auction, and to date the issue has not been addressed or taken care of. He was also asking for way too much money for a vehicle that has high miles and known problems, and a drive on the highway was out of the question. Thirdly, it seemed a little shady when I was asked several times if I could bring a "few thousand" as a deposit. Who has access to that kind of cash these days! Just beware and do your research on fair market values for vehicles and do not just go by what Kelly Blue Book or Edmunds says is a fair price. Everyone needs to make an extra buck, but hell, he was going to make almost 5 grand between the sale of this vehicle and my trade in!

AWESOME!! That is what the letter "A" must stand for in A+. Folks, let me tell you that this place is THE place to buy a car. The owner is a extremely nice person. He is not pushy or just trying to sell you on just anything. This is the ONLY place and person I will ever by a vehicle from. I bought a 97 Chevy Cavalier with around 70,000 miles on it two years ago and it STILL runs like a champ. In two years, it only needed regular oil changes and brakes like any normal car does. This place is VERY REASONABLE and Dave makes sure all his vehicles are looked over with a fine-tooth comb. Best part is, if you are looking for something particular and he doesnt have it, he will keep an eye out for what you are looking for. I will only recommend my friends and family to A+ because I have the peace of mind that Dave will take care of THEM and not their wallet. BEFORE you go anywhere else, check out A+ first!! You wont be let down.

I came in looking at a used 12 year old BMW for sale. Owner described it exactly and even took extra pictures for me before I got there. Overall car was a 9/10, a couple of minor flaws, but what can you expect for a 12 year old german car? Purchasing was very smooth, in and out. Friendly people and not overly pushy. When I got my first oil change, my mechanic looked it over and it needed and couple of minor things, but overall great car and the experience was very pleasant! When buying a 10+ year old german luxury car (Audi, BMW, Mercedes), you need to know what youre getting into. They are very finicky and always require a little bit of love (and money). Thank God I found this fine example 328! You would never guess the mileage by looking at it! When our next family car purchase is due, Ill definitely give these guys a call! Highly recommended!

Small dealership, decent used cars. Owner was super friendly, not too pushy. Car was clean. Had a good carfax and besides a few minor things, my mechanic said it was in good condition. Would recommend. Ill definitely check them out again when I am in need. As for the lady who wrote the comment before, if you buy a car with a recall on it, you can always go to a brand dealership and get it fixed for free. I bought a Ford and did just that with an airbag recall. No biggie. Just saying.
