I recently purchased a 2018 Genesis G80 from Affordable Imports Auto Sales in Murrieta for my son, and it was, without question, one of the best car-buying experiences I have had in more than 40 years of buying cars. The vehicle had 200,000 miles, yet the Carfax showed a meticulous service history--oil changes practically every month--and the car's condition reflected that care. It was exactly as described over the phone. No surprises, no games. After my son detailed and waxed it, the car looks flawless and the paint was like glass. I had been searching all over Southern California for weeks trying to find a reliable car under $7,000 for my son to drive to work, and everything else I looked at was junk. The price on this Genesis was incredibly low, and I kept expecting to discover a major issue later. Three months in, the car has performed perfectly. The sales experience itself was fast, friendly, and refreshingly straightforward. Mike handled the sale and was outstanding--no pressure, no upselling, no last-minute add-ons. Just an honest, fair, respectful transaction. He treated me like an old friend, not a sales target. I later learned he is a decorated, honorably discharged veteran, and it shows in the integrity with which he runs his business. I also noticed that the other cars on the lot were in similarly clean condition and priced very reasonably. I would absolutely return to Affordable Imports Auto Sales for another vehicle in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality used car without the usual dealership runaround. read more

Just a super great experience, we will be referring everyone here, whether they need a used or new vehicle, they should come here first and check out the inventory. Thank you so much, was a super great day for my family and I read more

Sold me an overpriced SLK that needs a new engine and a brake booster. Unfortunately, it was the only SLK350 in the area with the AMG sport package and 6 speed manual that I've seen, but lesson learned I guess. Traded a motorcycle plus funds, but now feeling I am the one that got screwed on this deal. I appreciate him working with me, but I can see why. He just wanted this thing gone. See photos. I appreciate the professionalism at the start, but definitely buy from this place with caution. They can screw you over. read more

I purchased a car from this dealership in October. While closing the deal, I specifically asked about receiving the extra set of keys and was told they would mail them to me once the remaining balance was received from my bank. After the payment was processed, I politely reached out to follow up. Despite several messages, I received no response, and only after persistent attempts was I told that the keys had been sent. I never received them, and further attempts to contact the dealership went unanswered. I am confident the keys were never sent, or they could have easily communicated. As a result, I had to spend extra money on a replacement key and programming. Based on my experience, I would avoid this dealership--they are not very trustworthy. read more

Our son is in heaven with his Toyota Tacoma truck we purchased from Michael at Affordable Imports. He stayed open past regular office hours to accommodate us. He was cordial and patient with us throughout the paperwork process and transaction. We recommend this dealership as they have proven to stand by their word. read more

We bought our son a truck and the owner and his son Mike were great. The tailgate needed fixing and he hooked us up with his guy and was the middle man for the transaction. It all went smooth. I would definitely recommend! read more

Came to buy second car from this shop Michael was very helpful and answering all my questions. I had a great experience and there was a fabulous selection of cars to choose from. read more

As a former car salesman, I hate buying cars from used car lots. This place is different. They had the car I wanted that was priced fair. However, The car developed a new issue when I got it home. I called the office and they told me to bring it in. Michael and Chris took care of the issue and I couldn't be happier. Perfect transaction with honest folks. Thanks again, I'll be back read more

I recently purchased this 2004 Honda Accord from affordable imports under the guise that it had no issues, no leaks, and no problems "just some very minor dings." I've had the car in my possession for less than two weeks and I'm dealing with this issue. I'm very doubtful this car didn't have leaks when I bought it. Extremely frustrating. I'm paying 9,000 for this car that I was told didn't have any issues. It's upsetting when you barley have enough money to buy something and you hope you're getting what you paid for. Look other places or hire a mechanic to inspect the car before you buy! It's pretty rare you buy a car with "no leaks" and a week later of driving it's leaking all over the place. Upon further inspection, there is also a power steering pump leak. So I will have to spend over a hundred dollars and time to fix the power steering pump. Also the oil leak. Just don't go here or trust them. You stand behind cars that leak both oil and power steering fluid? I'm childish? That's the way a mature business owner who's been doing business in Temecula valley since 95 handles things? I went to yelp to let people know what I went through and your attitude clearly shows my point. read more

I do NOT recommend this place!!!! They make their own hours APPARENTLY, and don't care about customers. ALSO- TAKE NOTE THEY ARE ALL ABOUT FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!!!!! read more

Mike was helpful and friendly the whole time Very responsive and willing to answer and question. read more

Replying to your comment. First of all the Honda been up for sale and only reason to trade to you guys was to help you guys and your business. And you lying to me saying you sold the honda at a certain price and when i looked up on your website you sold it for 9k. And only offered me 1k, which shows how dishonest you are. Not only that, understaning normal maintaince to used vehicles but in this case with gje chrysler it is not normal maintaince. I had already spent 900$ for a fuel pump change. I had to change the humidity sensor to get air to circulate, had to get a whole new coolant resevoir because it was cracked and had to get a coolant flush because all the gunk in the coolant and a oil change. And on top of getting the coolant flush . Pepboys did an inspection, when they flushed my coolant and stated air is getting into coolant meaning it possobly has a blown head gasket!!! So now i have to get that looked into and if it is than i need a whole new engine!!! Which is not okay so you do sell lemons to people, and dont properly inspect cars correctly. When i asked you multiple times is there problems with the engine and you kept stating no. We told you we have 3 kids and need a family car, and yes i stated i fell in love with it but look all these problems no one wants to pay for a new car and have to basically change all these expensive parts even possibly a new engine! And the cabin filter had a horrible cigarrate smell when we looked it had a old dirty one in it because the bracket was broken and needed the old one to hold it so that i had to fix too. Its a nice car on the exertior but interally its a mess and lemon. Which is not honest and messed up. This is speaking from a family with a new 5 month old, 2 year old and 8 year old spending there only saved money for a car. We also reached out many of times my wife and I and you never replied to us and ignored us so the logical thing to do is protect others from this headache and burden. And we went there orginially we weent for a jaguar which u stated not to get one of those because its hard to find a mechanic to fix but yet you had just sold it before we got there suppozedly which shows what kinda salesmen you are only in it for the money and not making your cars healthy for families not giving projects to people that they mosy likely cant afford which is very crucle. Dont make yourself look innocent like in all the other replies on ppls review comments, we have nothing to lie about if we were happy we would give a good review but this is all happening so were letting others know to save them the trouble there no need to make things up. I have all proof that i changed what i said and diagnostic recipets from mechanics cant lie about facts. again never buy from here! read more

Great experience! Shopping for a used car can be pretty hectic, to say the least. After having 2 dealers give us the run around, we headed to Affordable Imports and purchased a vehicle. Michael and Chris were honest and super helpful. They truly care about their customers. I highly recommend them. Thanks, guys. read more

I wish I could put ZERO stars. LITERALLY F*** THIS PLACE. They suckered my younger brother and took advantage of him!!! Like how do you sleep at night knowing you ripped a young kid who trusted that you guys were being honest.. selling him a 2008 piece of shit that ran for only a week. Come to find out there was a blown head gasket from the second he drove off the dealership. We have called this establishment and they are taking no responsibility and will do nothing for us. 2,800$$ worth of damage!!!!! DO NOT TAKE YOUR BUSINESS HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET F**** OVER. HE HAD IT FOR ONE WEEK! is my only response to your comment "FULL OF LIVES". Testing the cars limits? You guys really know how to take advantage of younger kids, knowing exactly how to point the blame somewhere else. We did call you guys multiple times & was basically told to f*** off. You guys are shameful. read more

Mike was very straightforward to me about the vehicle I was interested in when talking to him about it on the phone. When my son and I saw it in person there were no surprises. We were able to spend time with the vehicle and test drive it with no pressure. My son determined he wanted the car and I feel he got a good deal for his money. As with all used cars, you never know what will happen in the future, but for now, we are very pleased with the vehicle and the excellent service from Affordable Imports. read more

We needed a new vehicle and saw this place online. We found a car that we liked and went in for a test drive. The owners were very helpful and we decided to purchase the car. We were able to leave a deposit to secure the vehicle and picked it up a while later. I found them to be most helpful and the car was clean and ready to go that day we picked it up. I would recommend this business to anyone in the market for a vehicle. read more

The best car buying experience I have ever had, I had no a car place like these guys existed, let alone one the specializes in used vehicles. Mike and the gang were honest about every detail of the Xterra I purchased which is the best thing a buyer could ever ask for. Heck, I'll probably come back for a car in a few years too! read more

Buying a used car is always a gamble. As said in other reviews, Mike is straight forward, car fax report provided at sale, happy to let us inspect and ask as many Q's as we wanted, solid test drive, reasonable when we pointed out an issue and gave a break on price. Any car over 10 years old is going to need maintenance. We came back for a SECOND vehicle from these guys because the first process was so smooth! That says something. Highly recommend, just keep your expectations realistic. Thanks for all of your patience and help, Mike! read more

Final Edit: While selling my current car, I learned via the CarFax that I am actually the fifth owner and that the Jeep was not a "ONE OWNER CAR!!!" as stated in the ad and response to the review. Edit: That response was.... a lot. I've never seen a business respond to a yelp review in such a guarded, dramatic way. I obviously won't respond to it all because I would be here all day, but what I'll say is $1600 of my $4000 in repairs were for replacing a ruined rear differential. Final point I'll make is, I was given $5000 for a car valued at $9-10k. I'm the one who accepted that offer so obviously the dealer is not to blame for that, but calling that "top market price" is bs. Businesses are going to get bad Yelp reviews. Responding this way helps nothing. Personally, seeing a response like this would make me want to visit a business less. I don't know if whoever responded is just having a bad day because Biden is winning or what, but just thought I'd clarify. Do not buy a car from here. I bought a used Jeep Wrangler for about twice the Kelly Blue Book value because it was exactly what I had been looking for. They were not willing to budge one cent. About a month later, I have spent $4,000 in repairs and have had to purchase a new car. Now I need to figure out what to do with this car that's crumbling to the ground. I know the business will respond and remind me about the "as is policy" and such. I'm not the type to leave a yelp review, I'm just genuinely trying to save someone else the trouble of wasting thousands of dollars to a sleazy business. All I'm saying is please purchase a car somewhere else. Even if it's something special you've been looking for for a while, it's worth waiting a bit longer. read more

Great place to come if you know what your looking for. Great deal hassle free. Michael was easy and quick to work with. If you have questions just ask. I did and they answered all my questions. read more

It is always hard buying a car. I have purchased and leased new cars and the very occasional used car. Every single time it was stressful. This was the first time the experience was easy. The car was beautiful, needs work, of course as all cars do, and the price was excellent. Only time will tell about the car itself. But Robby, the owner, took great care of me from start to finish. He is friendly and experienced. We hit it off right away. If this car turns out to be as good as I think it is, I will definitely be back for another one some day in the future. Meanwhile, I recommend giving these people a try. read more

We came and test drove a vehicle. We offered cash and agreed to pay $60 less then asking price. We left to run to the bank to pull cash down the street and literally within 10 min later, they called and said someone came and test drove the car and was offering full price and so it was sold. Seriously? You sold the car right out from under us? Well that's fine I guess because we don't want to do business with shady people. The guy who called to tell us the "bad news" even sounded sorry and said they made him call to give the news. Someone we hadn't even dealt with prior. They're jerks! read more

I'm so unhappy with myself for allowing to be fooled into buying such a vehicle with problems... i knew this was to good to be true. They took my money and told me everything I wanted to hear. read more

Buyer beware! If I could give this place zero stars I would. I bought a car from Affordable Imports in Murrieta, and two months later the engine blew. I contacted Affordable Imports and they said there's nothing they can do about it, it was general wear and tear. They did graciously send me to their mechanic who quickly looked the car over and told me they would put in a new engine for $5,500-7,000, I think not! After getting a second opinion, I came to realize I am stuck with a $9,000 piece of scrap metal. This company does not sell quality vehicles, stay far away from this company. read more

On 3/20 I went to see a BMW 330ci Convertable And Robby was very nice but the car was buried in the back & he was alone and his back was acting up so I didn't make him do it so I was disappointed but returned a few weeks later and got to drive it and we worked out a deal! Straightforward and professional! I highly recommend this dealership! read more

My husband purchased a car here in April and since the purchase we have been having so many troubles with it we should have just bought a new car, it's been a disaster. 1st problem occurred the day after we bought it and we took it back and they "fixed" it. 2nd problem happened when we were driving and it wouldn't go over 4,000RPM. Big problem. And now it stalls at least once a week and won't start up for about an hour after. We're having things fixed by a mechanic but had I known these were going to be the issues we wouldn't have gone here. The guys are really nice don't get me wrong I do love their customer service but I guess all sales guys have to be. read more

I bought my 2007 Mazda CX7 August 2018. It has been in and out of the shop sense October. So far I have put over $4000. worth of work into the engine. Surprise it needs more work. This was the first car I bought, if you dont know jack about engines, stay away. read more

BUYER BEWARE! If you are buying a car here, (this goes for any used car lot I suppose), please get it checked out by a reputable mechanic first! You are not doing yourself any favors by thinking just because it's a great price, you should purchase blindly. We purchased a car here and it lasted a few months. The check engine light came on and a mechanic told us the engine is bad and the transmission is about to go out. He felt so bad for us that he didn't even charge us for checking it. It was a reputable/reliable brand name car with low miles for the year. Yes you might get lucky and get a good car, not likely but it can happen. Just know that it's a huge gamble if you don't get it checked first. read more

Easiest car purchase of my life! I love my "new" car. Veteran owned and operated. Mike is a gem!

My daughter and son in law purchased a BMW from this dealership for $11,000 after taxes and fees. A week later, my daughter said that she tried to return it because it took premium gas and that it was not in their budget. Although, it was their mistake for not doing further research, the owner ( I would assume) told her that it was an "as-is" sale. But, he said he would take it back for $4,500. He said that the car was only worth $3,800. Huh!? Does that sound shady to you? I looked it up on KKB and at very good it is worth at Least $5,800. I took the car off her hands and gave her my Mazda3. Now, I notice small oil leaks in my garage. When I daughter called the dealership about the oil leak, he said that it did not leak before and that she can take it to a mechanic that he knows that won't over charge her. I would be extremely careful dealing with this dealership. I would recommend DCH over this dealership any day! read more

Just talk to Andy, He will work with you. He did with me when I needed help. Great car salesman read more

Went to look a vehicle there with check book in hand. When we got there nobody greeted us or even acknowledged that we were there. The vehicle I was looking at was all the way in the back. It would of took about an hr to move all the over vehicles out if that. When the sale rep finally asked us if he could help. I asked when was the last time it was driven? He said that all the vehicles get started weekly. I could start it up he said sure keys are in it. The battery was dead had to get a jump box. It started right up while I was checking all the hoses and belts. I discovered that there was a puddle of trans fluid on the ground. I then discovered the leak around the trans oil pan was leaking and maybe a hose fitting. I then asked the salesman if I was to purchase the vehicle would the leak be taken care. He said No but to worry it shouldn't be more than 6 or 7 hundred. I then asked about what about the rear turn signal which wasn't working. He said the vehicle is sold as is. We walked out. I wouldn't buy anything from here. I understand that these high mileage vehicles but still they should take care these things. read more

We bought a nice affordable Subaru crosstrek yesterday from this establishment. Let me just say this is the go to place to purchase a vehicle. The person who attended to our needs was very professional, outgoing, and a very hard working man. He made us feel at home when we were there. The transaction of car buying was very fast and easy. We will return to buy my son's first car. Thank you guys. Stay safe read more

My son just bought a 2007 Ford F-150 from them. Mike is really nice & great to work with. We test drove the truck twice before buying it. Drove it straight home & the ABS light came on. Called Mike & informed him. (Which was the next morning because they were closed when we got home) He had to talk to his boss. The boss stated that they knew about the problem & they aren't going to do nothing about it. So I recommend that when buying a used vehicle make sure you get some kind of warranty. That's not good business. read more

BUYER BEWARE - DO NOT BUY Negative stars should be an option. These guys are shady ... there's a reason their cars are "affordable" ... it's because they band aid them and make them look ok until you purchase and then when they fall apart ... they blame any problems on you and how you drove the vehicle. Btw this is a legit review - I purchased a vehicle and am still feeling the pain ... my only hope is to spare you the same misery. I'll end with this ... in anticipation of some bs reply about not contacting them etc and they didn't have an opportunity to address concerns ... I did Contact them multiple times on minor issues before I realized the vehicle I bought was basically junk and their consistent response was, the vehicle was sold "as is". Why would they ever cover anything major when they wouldn't even stand behind minor issues? Again ... do yourself a favor ... keep looking ... highly Recommend you let their junk cars rot ... read more

Nice small operation, cars well priced, and friendly service. Test drove 3 vehicles and they got them right out quick and easy. read more

The truck I purchased is a piece of crap. I contacted them to let them a day after I purchased to let them know that the steering wheel shakes and there were leaks our mechanic noticed. I took it back to them and they said they had the stuff fixed but after about a week or two after it had been fixed it has been in and out of the shop. After I get one thing fixed a month later check engine light goes back on to fix something else. I wouldn't purchase again. read more

So I bought a 2007 Mazda 6 with 148,950 miles on it for 4500.00. I started looking into maintenance that might need to be done on it and found that I needed a new air filter really bad. The transmission fluid was HORRIBLE and so was the power steering fluid. It also was very close to needing an oil change and the rotors were warped. Now I'm very knowledgeable about cars having had race cars all my life so I know these things needed to be done. So the price was good but I also had to dump over 500.00 into it... so far:(. So if you're looking for a good deal you'll find it here but just know that whatever you buy will most likely need some financial love thrown it's way read more

Purchased our family vehicle last week with Michael great customer service. We're so happy with our new suv. Highly recommend to check out affordable imports! read more
