Do not buy a car from here! Purchased my Ford Edge 2020 with 34,000 miles back on March 18, 2024. Car completely died on May 18, 2024. Had the car towed to local Ford dealer. As of Aug 13, 2024 car remains at dealer with no indication of why the vehicle can’t be fixed. When calling the original dealer (back in May) being told that Kevin who sold me the car no longer works there and there is nothing they could do for me! They sold me a bad car and are doing NOTHING to help me. This place is a scam!

After having a bad experience at Venice Honda a car manager literally yell that i was wasting his time, so after leaving there I stop by Plattner's Venice super store an was greeted by an professional nice car saleswoman, I told her that i was looking for an Van and she located one and had it delivered and it checked out to be nice , Marissa Olsen and I closed the deal. I will be back for my next purchase.

Very helpful , friendly and went above an beyond to make this deal happen. I would highly recommend dealership

Let me share this. I just had the Best experience of my car buying life. Friendly staff great customer service and HONEST. I would send anyone there to work with them. They gave me an honest price and I did not have an omg what are these 7k in fees on my contract or a total insult like some other Sarasota County dealers with my trade which was a fully loaded 2017 with 97k on it. We agreed on a trade price on the phone and I came in and he said I can’t give you that amount we talked about I have to give you more. While I was finishing up paperwork they already put my tag on the new car and my license plate frame. The car was not detailed yet because someone was out today but they guaranteed me a detail and it will be done tomorrow after 9am. So here is my advice to you go to Plattner in Venice ask for Tony, Chris or Kevin, you will leave with a car and a smile. We will be getting another car sometime in the next year or two and guess where we are going. Plattner Venice. Ditch the other dealers who only want to deal with the ELITE and want to rob you blind. You know who they are.

So changing my review from a 5 star to a 1 because I cannot give it a 0 long story short bought my daughter a 2015 volvo s60 with only 29995 miles on it on 8/27. On 09/22 had to park the car because it has a cracked head gasket and the transmission is gone. The story is much much longer ( I mentioned to them that the coolant was low when we were at the dealership they said they would fill it. If they bothered to fill it did the "tech" that filled it not notice that what was in the reservoir looked like chocolate milk?) I sure did notice it when i had to put coolant in it on 09/22 . When I got to the dealership i even asked Joe what is wrong with it he stated absolutely nothing. If they had really done any kind of inspection they would have known that there was something wrong with the car and they should have never sold the car. I am now out 6k for the down payment. Repairs will run over 10k great job Joe and the gang taking advantage of a single mom with stage 4 cancer that only wanted to do something nice for her kid. I did call the dealership on 09/22. Kevin call back close to 7pm that same day said he felt really bad and would try to figure something out to help us. Since i certainly cant affird 10k in repairs. Haven't heard from him since. I will be contacting a lawyer.

Horrible advertising tactics. All used cars are about $2400-$3400 in fees, plus tax and tags BEFORE you even pick out a car. You must read all fine print on the bottom of the page or ask what the fees are before you go.
