bought 2 cars from this dealer since March 2004, both of them had major engine problems that didn't show up right away however after 30 day warranty was up they slowly started having problems. Took them both to mechanics and both were unfixable aside from replacing the entire engine. I finally just turned in my 2nd car with no option of trying to put me in a 3rd vehicle (not that I wanted it) but it was not offered to me, no option of any money back (5500.00) and he also refused to pay to tow my car just to give it back to him. I ate every expense. I was never late on even 1 payment. I would not refer this place to my worst enemy.

I have been a customer of "Cars of Sarasota"... - chanz

I have been a customer of "Cars of Sarasota" for years now. I have used them exclusively for vehicle and muffler repairs over the last few years. This place is definitely the best repair shop I have come across so far. The work was always done perfectly and was very reasonably priced. Nothing was ever over-charged, nothing was ever missed. I will always bring all my vehicles here and only here for any repair or maintenance. - Chanz

Never responded back to my inquiry which worked out in - Flyby1000

Never responded back to my inquiry which worked out in the long run.. Upon further research on the net, found out that this dealer places the down payment of the vehicle as the "Price" of the vehicle, Deceptive sales practices. BUYER BEWARE!!!!

Super nice people. Very honest and helpful. I recommend... - Kenny B

Super nice people. Very honest and helpful. I recommend them to family and friends. Roger (the owner) double checked everything to make sure I was happy. They made me feel like family.

Great experience - Summer J

I love my Lexus. Miguel made the process fun and easy. Nick was awesome. Moe is wonderful. If you want a place who treats you like family and is no-pressure, go here. I'd recommend this place to my own mother.

I purchased a 2003 Land Rover Discovery from CSM in... - asallen10812

I purchased a 2003 Land Rover Discovery from CSM in Margate, FL on August 27, 2021. I dealt with Andy Rosa as a salesman whom I now understand is the owner. We had phone conversations as to the condition of the vehicle. He told me and my wife over the phone the vehicle had zero rust and no dash lights on and no previous accidents, I received the vehicle via transport on 9-6-2021. The vehicle has dash lights on that are the oil light, ABS Brakes, as well as the Air Bag Light. There are multiple rust issues: drivers floorboard is rusted completely through, the roof had 3 holes larger than a quarter completely rusted through. There are several other rust spots as well. The Air Bag has been deployed. The horn does not work. The back windows do not function. The key is also stuck in the ignition and can't be removed. The vehicle also has mold under the seats. The vehicle was grossly misrepresented. I highly suggest looking to other car dealers for your vehicle needs. Feel free to reach out and I will gladly supply photos of all the issues.

Employees were very friendly, what's more the owner... - PatrickN

Employees were very friendly, what's more the owner came out and gave me a decent deal. Got myself a 2010 Ford Mustang and it runs very well.

Seamless experience, very fair pricing. - tv0949

Seamless experience, very fair pricing. And wonderful! Very upfront and honest, family owned business! Will absolutely do business with them again!

This is the most amazing used car dealer I have ever - SJ411

This is the most amazing used car dealer I have ever dealt with! From finding a car that fit my needs, to find finding financing with my iffy credit, to standing behind the vehicle they sold me, it has been nothing but a great experience. They go above and beyond. I highly recommend that you check them out if you are in need of a used vehicle. Their honesty and integrity cannot be surpassed.

this place really sucks - gian1990

i highly advice ANYONE looking for a used car to stay away from these two legged rats.. they steal, they will fool you with the cars but at the end their cars are a piece of crap.. too nice outside and inside weit for the problem to come not to0 long after purchuse. n if by any means you get one of their cars dont make the mistake of taking to their mechanics.. they are young, underpay and super unexperince.. they will make the problem worst.. Please Consumer Stop robbing people , please people stop going to consumer ....

BUYER BEWARE!! SEE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU COMPLAINT! - TJ

BUYER BEWARE OF THIS DEALER!! The following is a copy of a complaint filed with the Better Business Bureau against this dealership: Complaint Description: Salesman misrepresented condition of car & didn't disclose nature of accident damage/details of report when specifically asked on the phone to do so. This car is advertised on the internet as: "All vehicles are inspected and serviced by certified technicians. Visit Credit Cars at 4500 W. Colonial Drive in Orlando, FL or call 407-295-6211 for more information". 12-30-2014: I spoke with the salesman, Odeen Kearse, at length with questions before I came in to view a White 2006 Scion XB, VIN #JTLKT334850198144. I asked if the vehicle was "beat up"? He said the car was clean & was a rental car. I told him other dealers lied to me about the condition of cars before I visited them, & I didn't want to waste my time with worn interiors or beat up body panels. He said the car was in an accident. I asked what type & was the accident in the front or rear? He said he didn't know. I asked if he had a Carfax? He said he had an Autocheck, so I asked him to email it to me. He said he couldn't do that, but could fax it. I don't have a fax, so I asked him if there were any problems on the Autocheck? He said there were "no problems with the Autocheck". I asked him again to verify the condition of the car before I made a long drive there. He said the car was in good condition & clean--not to worry--I would be taken care of. He advised to "be careful because it was raining" while I drove to the dealer. I found the following defects upon inspecting the car: 1.Windshield was not original & the top edge of the roof paint where the windshield meets the roof was gouged & rusted (bad install job); 2.Inside the car, the right upper windshield seal material was poorly installed & dried showing an "oozed out" seal; 3.Overspray paint was on the front grille & both headlights (bad repaint job); 4.Right headlight had chipped paint around it & body panels didn't quite match up (I suspected this was impact area of accident); 5.Other body damage found: Either paint chips or light scratches around LFront headlight, on both bumpers & ALL body panels except RFront & LFront doors, LFront fender, RRear quarter panel, Rside running board; 6.I turned the headlights on-they worked-but I turned them off/on again, & RFront headlight didn't work; 7.Driver's seat belt was severely twisted & wouldn't set properly; 8.All seats & driver's door panel had cigarette burn mark holes; 9.LRear carpet had 7" cut; 10.The jack tool said "03 Kia Spectra" on it (not the Scion XB original jack); 11.Tire lug wrench/jack tool was missing; 12.Head liner was stained; 13.One license plate bulb wasn't working-the other bulb worked; 14.Fuel door would not open--I couldn't check gas cap; 15.Hatch door interior & cargo area had significant scratches. I pointed out these defects to Odeen, he tried to dismiss them & said, "it's a used car" & they are minor issues, but said he would fix the RFront headlight, the seatbelt & fuel door. I didn't look underneath or test drive the car. By this time, the dealer was closing for the night. I asked to see the Autocheck report,& he gave me a copy. I drove home & found the following on the report: A)Overall score=33 (out of 35-58 range); B)5 owners; C)Negative title or other problem(s) can indicate serious damage or other significant problems & disqualifies the car for Autocheck Buyback Protection--detail showed one reported accident with frame/unibody damage in the RIGHT FRONT CORNER; D)Specific vehicle use(s) or events reported--detail showed fleet, rental or lease records; E)Repossessed records--detail showed two title repossessions. I called Odeen the next day with what I found on the report & was irate when I asked why didn't he tell me these things before I came in? He said "As a salesman, we don't go through the report & give details." However, he read enough of the report to tell me it had one accident & it was a rental car. Yet he clearly omitted damaging information on the Autocheck report & misrepresented the condition of the vehicle. He did this all the while knowing I would be driving +80 miles one way on the rain & accident-ridden highways along the way to the dealer in Orlando, FL. Your Desired Resolution: The salesman, Odeen Kearse, asked what he could do to earn my business or remedy this matter? I told him I would never buy a car from him or waste any more time with this dealer. I told him the best remedy he could implement is to not lie to any other customer ever again & promise me that he would answer customer questions honestly with full disclosure about vehicles they are interested in before customers ever visit the dealer. He offered to have me speak with his sales manager. I told him I already wasted a full day looking at this car which entailed me driving +160miles round trip to Orlando on rain slick roads with accidents & traffic on the way to and from the dealer. I asked why would I want to waste more time talking with a manager when the matter was very clearly explained to Odeen? I asked if I was his family member, would he honestly lure me to drive a long distance in the rain for a frame/unibody damaged vehicle that he told me was in "clean" condition? I told him I was appalled that he had the audacity to say they treat customers like "family". He said he understood & apologized. I told him I would complain to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) & would write a truthful review regarding this matter on dealer rating websites. He was very concerned with me registering a complaint with BBB or writing a truthful, bad review. I told him I want others to be aware of this dealer's practices--particularly because they advertise on their business cards & placards that they are A+ rated with BBB; that they treat customers like "family" with "respect" & perform "multi-point inspections". To summarize, this is what I am seeking: 1) An official, written apology from the dealer acknowledging this matter. Specifically, the apology & acknowledgement letter should address: 1A) The true condition of the vehicle (as indicated in my complaint that details visual defects & functional tests) vs. what they verbally represented as a "clean" car with "no problems with Autocheck". The acknowledgment needs to also indicate an accurate summary account of the unfavorable details of the Autocheck report for this VIN#. To be clear, these are the summary of details from the Autocheck report that are indicated in my complaint above. 1B) The dealer's purposeful neglect to disclose details of the car when specifically asked, particularly regarding the Autocheck report. 2) The dealer is to provide to the BBB (in response to my complaint), a full paper copy of the Autocheck report for this VIN#. 3) The BBB is to scan the Autocheck report that the dealer provides for this VIN# & publish it on the BBB's website under this complaint as an attachment to show proof of my complaint. NOTE: I would attach the Autocheck report if I had it in a digital format, yet I do not have it in a digital format. 4) Full published disclosure of complete details regarding this matter on BBB's website under this dealer's name for anyone to review & be forewarned of this dealer's practices. NOTE: When I called the BBB, I was told that as of about one year ago, the BBB makes complaints visible on their website for anyone to review who may be inquiring about a BBB member. Why this hasn't always been the case is quite alarming, since that would, in essence, be protecting the business from anyone being able to see negative reviews on any given BBB member. This case will be reviewed by a complaint specialist at the Better Business Bureau, and then forwarded to the business for their response. It is our policy to allow the business 30 working days to respond to your complaint. You will be notified when the business has responded.

Stay away for your credit sake!! - angelita.marrero

I came to this place in immediate need of a vehicle they were willing to help me in a vehicle of their choice as I only had 800 down and no credit. As a single mother of 3 children I was desperate and they knew this. I was unable to keep up with the monthly payments of 375 for a vehicle with over 120,000 miles and drove the vehicle back to the lot and along with keys after almost two years of ontime payments before allowing myself to get be behind in payments. Now almost 3 years later they have reported to both transUnion and equifaxfax credit bureau every month that I am defaulted on payments which has made it impossible to get financing to purchase my family a home. This review is to make consumers aware that regardless if you payed every payment on time up until you hit a snag in the road they will destroy your credit every month until they no longer can. This is the worst buy here pay here and do not have the consumers best interest at heart.

I traded in my BMW Z-3 for a BMW 525 and was treated so... - Douglas Koontz

I traded in my BMW Z-3 for a BMW 525 and was treated so very well. The inventory is obviously hand-picked and speaks volumes for the quality of the dealership. Not only was the vehicle I purchased priced below book value, but the offer made for my trade was generous. In fact, Pensacola's own BMW dealership paled in comparison to Diamond Motor Cars in quality, customer service, fairness and above all, integrity. The folks who own and operate this business are truly an asset to the pre-owned automobile industry and to our community. We are indeed blessed to have had the opportunity to have "done business" with such outstanding people. I am certain that all of my furture vehicle purchases will be made at Diamond Motor Cars.

Thank you so much for everything! - DKramer

You all went above and beyond getting me into my new van. It was incredibly humbling how much you all cared for my well being. I will always appreciate everything you did and will NEVER forget it. I will be sending anyone and everyone I know who needs a car to you. God Bless

Buyer Beware - Jkellogg

Purchased 2003 Nissan Xterra from Eagle Eye May of 2019. Oil light started blinking within 10 days of driving. Profuse oil leaking in driveway just 2 weeks in. Turns out the gaskets were defective and needed to be replaced. After a 1300 maintenance job, it ran smoothly for a week. The following week the engine completely failed due to misuse and prior abuse. Put less than 500 miles on then vehicle. Tried contacting Eagle Eye for any sort of support. Ignored. Buyer beware.

Horrible waste of money - Chris

You can’t trust this dealership especially the lady. She sold me a car that was complete trash make sure you bring ur mechanic to check out the car before purchasing!!

I almost never leave reviews, but I tried to contact - fred

I almost never leave reviews, but I tried to contact these guys via their website and text and they never contacted me back. I finally called them and they recognized my number and told me they didn't bother responding at all because I asked if they were flexible on the price in my first email (because they were $4000+ over KBB value). It seems very rude to me to not at least respond and tell me they were firm on the price. Very poor service in my opinion.

My husband found a nice truck that was in consignment.... - renshawnl

My husband found a nice truck that was in consignment. The price was right and the sales guy was friendly and didn't pressure him into anything. Rather, he actually suggested thinking about it for awhile. I would check them out again the next time we're in the market for a used vehicle.

My initial feeling about Excel was class personified. I... - Dreamturnednightmare

My initial feeling about Excel was class personified. I was at aww at the customer service and look of the dealership. The salesman seemed very knowledgeable. The car history was given and I was told they only deal in well kept cars. The car was a little older but looked, drove, and felt as though it was newer. Upon purchase, I drove it for a couple days before taking it to the BMW dealership because I notice white smoke as I waited for food in the drive through. The dealer came back with a $3 ,500 bill for something I cant recall right now. I drove it for another week before seeing the smoke again. I then took it to a friend of mind who worked for BMW for andxtended period of. He told me that there was an engine issue that was going to cost $10,000 to fix eventually but that it was ok to drive. The white smoke issue he fixed. It costed me another $2000 to fix that. He could see where the dealers did the work they said and felt it was probably needed based on what he saw. I went back to Excel to inform them of all the issues. The attitude was as expected (I had the car, all sells are final, it's yours now). That was 2 years ago. In the pass few months it has been overheating according to the computer. It has been in the shop for times and presently in again. I have spent another $2000 in repairs. My dream car and what I thought was a blessing has made me feel like the fool in the Bible that money will soon depart from him. The car cost me $30K plus. Paid it off recently. After feeling good about paying it off, looks like I may be going back into payments. I very seldom drive the car because I am a disabled veteran and dont have to go out much. Doctors appointments and occasionally to Pompano Beach from Port St. Lucie. Since COVIC I am home. I keep going back to Excel statemrnt of the type of cars they sell and the history report. Maybe my car was an isolated situation.

I purchased a 1995 740iL purchased a 1995 740iL from - Sparky

I purchased a 1995 740iL purchased a 1995 740iL from Exclusive Impex, Inc in September of 2022. The car had very low miles (66,300) a “clean” CARFAX report.The salesman actually “volunteered” the report. In actual fact, this car had severe structural damage which was identified at the auction where it was purchased by Exclusive Impex, Inc. Anyone bidding on this vehicle at the auction would have been made aware of this. Exclusive Impex, Inc. would have known the extent of this damage. Clearly, the CARFAX report was wrong! Exclusive Impex, Inc. chose to present this car for sale with the condition described in the CARFAX report, knowing it was inaccurate. They chose to mislead potential buyers of this car regarding its actual condition. This behavior is clearly unethical and probably illegal. I recognize that I purchased the car AS IS, meaning as presented. However, the vehicle was not presented with all the information available to Exclusive Impex, Inc, which chose to use the CARFAX report in a way that hid the serious structural damage the car had sustained previously. As I have subsequently learned, this is a common practice used by dealers to increase their profits by taking advantage Exclusive Impex, Inc in September of 2022.

As I have subsequently learned, this is a common practice used by dealers to increase their profits by taking advantage of the discrepancy between the CARFAX report and other sources such as Experian. I am attaching a link to an article which describes this practice in detail.: https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2016/03/sleazy-car- dealers-pass-off-frame-damage-cars-clean/. The title of the article is: “How Sleazy Car Dealers Pass Off Damaged Cars As Clean | The Truth About Cars.” You might be wondering how I came to identify the problem with the car. I’m nearly 79 years old, but thought I could do much of the work on this car myself. Two full thickness rotator cuff tears in my right shoulder have made this unrealistic. Once I accepted my limitations, I decided to sell the car. I listed the vehicle for sale a few months ago. A gentleman came to see and drive it and brought to my attention the inaccuracy of the CARFAX report, as documented in a report from Experian. It’s certain that this car sold at auction at a very low price after the damage was identified for those bidding on the car. I wrote to the owner of Executive Impex, Inc. and requested full disclosure of the damages as well as a partial refund of the purchase price. There has been no response, thus far. I am posting this review to call attention to the unethical and likely illegal behavior of this used car dealership and to alert the unwary to the practice of using inaccurate CARFAX reports to mislead buyers into the purchase of vehicles which are presented as undamaged, but which have sustained severe structural damage. I sincerely hope that it will help others avoid being cheated by this and other unscrupulous car dealerships. Thank you for reading this review.

The people at Expert Auto Group are some of the most genuine used car dealers you can find. They have a reputation for integrity. In fact, they refuse to work on Sundays, a high-profit sale dale for cars. They are committed to dealing with you ethically unlike many businesses in this market. All the staff are friendly, courteous, and genuine. Expert will be honest and up front about the cost and the value of the car they sell you. You won’t find any lemons here. They will pay to get you the CARFAX on all their cars. They have onsite mechanics and detailers. And they’ll make sure that the car has been serviced, has new tires, and has all the accessories it had when it was originally purchased. Our friend, who bought two cars from them, can vouch for their service and the quality of their cars. As a result, we’ve bought three cars from them over the last several years. We have also referred other friends who have been completely satisfied. We would not hesitate to buy a car from them again or recommend them to friends and family. We believe that you’ll have peace of mind to buy your next used car from Expert Auto Group. Sincerely, Michael & Charlene

Stay away! - Screwed!

This is going to be a lengthy review. The description of the car in their ad was false. It was listed as excellent windshield, great paint, specifically no dents(as I later noticed, are all their cars). I made a special trip from Ohio to buy the car described in their ad since my almost identical car, which I have driven for years, needed a costly transmission repair. The windshield on this Florida car was cracked the entire width, the paint was awful, many dents and peeling clear coat in multiple places, broken shocks and the trunk looked as if it had been painted with a spray can. Now, this is an older car, so I didn't expect it to be perfect, so we negotiated an acceptable price. I drove off the lot to a nearby gas station, and the car wouldn't accept gasoline! It just blew it back out,so naturally, I took it back. They agreed to fix it and gave me a loaner for 2 days. I was staying in Miami,so it was a big inconvenience to drive the hour plus there, then back 2 days later to a 'sort of' repaired car. On the drive back to Ohio, the sun visor fell off except for 1 screw and the driver side power window quit working. This car is a disaster and my belief is that it is pieces of many cars. It is worth the price of the decent tires, a few hundred dollars instead of the few thousand I paid. MOST IMPORTANT - This transaction was on December 4,2016. Today is January 30,2017 and I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE TITLE TO THE CAR!! I have called and texted MANY times in the interim, and despite a promise by Wesley, my sales person, still no title, so I can't drive the car or sell it. IT HAS BEEN IN MY DRIVEWAY SINCE THE TEMPORARY TAG EXPIRED ON JAN 3. I would give them a minus 2 stars except that they did send someone to pick me up at the Ft Lauderdale airport and supplied me with a decent loaner car for the 2 day repair. Hence, the 1 star.

Great dealer to deal with - Elunicodueno

In and out in less than 45 minutes, very chilled environment, I am well pleased with my purchase. Overall an excellent experience, I found the car online, came, test drove it and got approved through one of their lenders on the spot

I got a beautiful Bentley Lease from Don L Leasing a few months ago and could not be happier. They were great to deal with, had great prices and awesome service, even delivering it to my door. My wife is in the process of looking for a new Mercedes and we will probably get the Mercedes Lease from them as well. Thanks Gabe!
