Would not recommend buying a car from these guys to anyone. I bought a Nissan Altima with 60,000 miles from them a little over a month ago. Two weeks after buying the car the transmission completely we anyone. I bought a Nissan Altima with 60,000 miles from them a little over a month ago. Two weeks after buying the car the transmission completely went out. When I called the dealership they told me to get it towed to them and they would put a new transmission in it. I then had it towed back to Ames Cars (for $480). The next day Buddy called me and said that they would now only pay for half the transmission. So now, I have not only been out almost $14,000, but an additional nearly $500, haven't had a car for 3 weeks - having to pay to uber/lyft everywhere, and they still expect me to pay for half the transmission. Long story short... do not buy a car from Ames Cars. They will screw you over every chance they get. More
They overprice their vehicles and won’t negotiate. I was interested in a vehicle but after looking up the value on Kelley Blue Book and Nada both places said it was priced approximately 1,300 over what it w interested in a vehicle but after looking up the value on Kelley Blue Book and Nada both places said it was priced approximately 1,300 over what it was worth even in excellent condition so I tried getting them to lower the price at least a little and they wouldn’t even respond to me.

Bad Experience They tried to sell me a car with problems in the engine. Worst part was that they knew about the problem and they actually try to hide it.

From DEEP disappointment, to ABSOLUTE SATISFACTION!! SCOTT KATH!! A true savior for us, from a BAD situational problem. Scott orchestrated and successfully accomplished a WIN/WIN outcome for US, AmesCars SCOTT KATH!! A true savior for us, from a BAD situational problem. Scott orchestrated and successfully accomplished a WIN/WIN outcome for US, AmesCars, and Himself, due to his accountable overview, and ownership of the problem and the task he confronted head-on!! 5 STARS!!!!!!!! I am very respectful, and extremely impressed by Scott's attention to detail, bailing all of us out of very difficult nightmare! Rest assured, these folks at Ames Cars DO care about their customers, and the perceptions they conjure in their Servitude of their repeat customers, as well as newly potential customers, finding their inventories to be worthy of their interest, and beginning a shopping experience, and long term relationships, in the mutuality of loyalty to each other, individually, and collectively! That which began as a bitter conflict, at purchase, and post-purchase, has become a respectful friendship, thanks to "5 STAR-General-Scott"!! PLEASED!! VERY MUCH SO!! More
Gave them one star because I couldn't give them less. Bought a vehicle from them and it had issues later on the same night. After being given the run around for about a month I was told that when buyin Bought a vehicle from them and it had issues later on the same night. After being given the run around for about a month I was told that when buying a used vehicle I should expect for there to be some things that needed fixing and also that when they purchase their vehicles to sell that they do not take a look at any of them. I was quoted at 1600$ worth of repairs to which he responded by saying that he drove the vehicle and that there was no way that the vehicle needed that much work done. He told me that the solution could be that he just stop selling affordable cars. "Quaity, Honesty, Integrity", yeah right. Fooled me once but they'll never see mine or anybody else's business I know and I hope that you do your homework on this place. Wish I'd read reviews before I gave them my money to take a piece of junk off of their hands. More
