| - My husband and I were faced with having to replace a car a year earlier than we would have liked after a car accident. We went out to the big dealerships on Friday looking at used cars, and every time we found one we liked at the max of our budget, we were then also told about various extra fees. For example, one of the Acura dealerships on Sahara pointed toward the fine print on their online auto ads and tack on an extra $900+ to the advertised internet price.
We went home and slept on how much we really wanted to put into a car at the moment and decided to lower what we were looking at to get us through at least next year. Cue a lot of research the next morning on a much lower budget. Long story short, we ended up at Las Vegas Motorcars on Saturday morning to look at a Toyota Camry. We stopped here first because their Camry was a 2010 with 50K miles priced similar to the larger dealerships for 2007 Camrys around 80K miles. The CarFax looked great for it with regular maintenance you'd hope for on a used 5 year old car, so it seemed too good to be true when comparing it to the other places.
They have an inside showroom. You wouldn't really know they have cars for sell when driving by, but as soon as you're taken to the back you go into a warehouse with some really beautiful cars. We did a walk around of the Camry, got the scoop from Todd on it's history (trade-in), and took it for a test drive. We told Todd our budget, and though there wasn't any negotiation, we knew from research this Camry was 3 years newer and 25K miles less than other used Camrys of the same price. Before we even test drove the car he gave us a print out with a break down of the price of the car, taxes, ect. We thought it was a great deal, there were no unexpected "fees" (I'm looking at you Acura of Sahara with your $900 something dollar fee for NOTHING).
Left to go eat lunch while they did the paperwork, came back and within 10 minutes we were out the door in a new car. Easy peasy. Really impressed by the quality of the cars we saw in the showroom, and a really easy car buying experience. Happy to recommend!
