Warning to anyone thinking about buying from this dealership. I purchased a 2017 Ford Explorer from…read morethem yesterday and within only 30 minutes of driving back home, the check engine light came on.I took the vehicle to my mechanic, and after inspecting it, he found Bank 2 catalytic converter code P0430. The diagnostic system showed that the vehicle's fault codes had been cleared only about 15 miles before the sale, which raises serious concerns that problems were intentionally hidden before the vehicle was sold. Under California law, dealerships are required to provide vehicles that meet legal sale requirements, including a valid smog certification completed within 90 days before the sale. The smog certificate they provided was from June 2025 and was not legally valid for this transaction. I immediately contacted the dealership asking to return the vehicle and receive a refund, but they refused to work with me. I also messaged the person I originally communicated with on Facebook, and as soon as they saw my message, they blocked me. Selling a vehicle while concealing known defects and providing an invalid smog certification may violate California consumer protection laws and dealer regulations. I have officially filed a lawsuit and reported the situation. recommend that people stay away from this dealership and not buy anything from them. We will handle this matter in court.

Brian was very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase. After driving all over from city-to-city, dealership after dealership, I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND if you are looking for a used vehicle.

Yes it had a warranty on it from Kia but they refused to honor it. And I'm sure as most people would agree, you don't buy something for $15000 that is said to be in good condition explicitly from the sales person and then have it be a fixer upper. Just buyer beware that's all I can say. Mazda never offered to rectify the situation and they never offered any assistance. And the loan company they used is ran even worse. After selling the car to the dealership and paying it off the company tried to receive payments because they never updated their records.

Car looked in great condition and beautifully detailed And it was definitely something that I was interested in. And I sent the information to my mechanic friend, and he said that the mileage that it was at was going to require it To get a certain service. After verifying that with toyota about this specific Highlander. I was so willing to get this vehicle, but I wanted it to be discounted for the price of the repairs that I was going to do on it within a week because of the mileage that required it to be done at that time. And without it it would not be a good outcome for this car. So I ask for the discount in between the price that both my friend mechanic and toyota quoted. And there was no budge. Great interaction, great communication, great cars. But yeah, if you're aware, and I'm aware a situation that requires a price discount. I think I should get it if i'm still willing to buy the vehicle just my thought.

Once of the best choices I have ever made was going here. I have taken some time to write this…read morebecause I did not want to write a review that was without merit or value. In other words I truly wanted this review to be full of truth of experience and worth. Couple of things I was worried about. Buying a Car off Holt. Lets be honest there are not a lot of things that I have known that are good to buy off Holt other than street tacos. Not exactly the place I would think I would have an amazing customer service experience with great people and great product. Steve, and the Team here is what I would call Magnificent. I was not exactly what you would call an easy sale. I was also a bit strangely organized financially because of my type of business so I proved to be a bit of a challenge for them. Calm and collected they were never worried. Only me. I left this place driving an excellent car with great milage and what I would call no buyer remorse. Mostly because of the experience which I thought would or could get salted over time but it has not. There were a few issues with my purchase that involved the navigation and control module. Steve assured me he would help me take care of it and another minor issue was that the lights are so fogged up they hardly look they are on. Once I get to a place where I can drop this car off I will have it handled but either way I can say this. There is reason why this organization is 5 Stars. They do everything right. They have the cars you are looking for and more importantly the attitude needed to make a good experience. In sales its about the CAN DO attitude. I was frustrated and felt a bit hopeless and they made me feel like I mattered. Steve Knows Sales and the Finance Guy not only knew finances but also computers. It feels good to be treated with respect. This is going to be the place my entire family and friends get their cars from. Here are the reasons. GREAT PEOPLE GREAT PRICES STAND MY THEIR SALES AFTER SALES AND AFTER SALES CARE WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE WHATEVER THEY CAN HAPPEN THEY GO THE EXTRA MILE. THEY WORK WITH BAD CREDIT / ISSUES WITH CREDIT THEY WILL DO WHAT IS IN THEIR POWER TO MAKE THINGS WORK I won't share what Steve did for me as I closed the sale with him and took my new used car home but it was very kind and I think he does it for alot of people. A Little bit counts and goes a long way. I am thankful and grateful for LA COSTA Sales and look forward to more reviews and my family buys their next cars here. There is NOTHING and I do mean nothing that could have done better. Excellent work guys. Sorry for the delay but I really wanted this review to be full of truth, reflection and longevity. CONS: Holt Ave is not somewhere you want to be late at night. CONS: A Little Stuffy in the Sales Room CONS: Issues with Car / PRO - Not an issue for a team of people who want your experience to be a good one. They know what to do, how to do it and where to go if anything does come up. Used Cars are not exactly iron clad anything can happen but they seem to have most of the things you need covered or can handle any minor issues you need to take care of or the direction to point you to. 30 Years + Years of Business and Integrity and Experience makes this place a no brainer to shop for your next used car. If you are going to buy a used car and have no choice the good part is the choice of where to buy it has already been made up. Reviews like this for a car dealership like this is unheard of. Truly A Diamond in the Rough. BUY YOUR CAR here!

I have very early childhood memories of La Costa Auto Sales. My parents might have been coming…read morehere, even before I came along into this world. The 2 Lacosta brothers running this business are the most honest and trustworthy salesmen you can find in the area. They specialize in affordable used cars! Come here to buy, sell or trade! My family has been coming here since our struggling origins. When I say struggles, I mean, we were a ONE CAR household. My dad would drop my mom off at work in the mornings and either he or my aunt would pick my mom up from work. We had a humble living and even with one car, we couldn't afford anything too new. The La Costa brothers were there to provide their automotive knowledge and extremely reliable recommendations. The cars we purchased from them throughout the years had no headaches. When it was time to afford to budget a second car into our household, it was legendary. We felt extremely blessed and fulfilled to have what others would imagine to be basic necessities. La Costa Auto Sales was a major factor in making that transition possible for their reasonable rates and reliability. I will always always feel grateful that they were able to be there for us during tough times. Pass forward to the present, we are blessed to afford to buy newer cars from the Honda dealership, but that leaves us with an "old" car on hand. Honda offered quite an insulting value, and my dad immediately said No thank you! We knew selling it to La Costa Auto Sales would be an honest amount, whatever the offer would be. We saw Steve, and he did a thorough inspection and pulled up the car's official reports, and gave us his professional opinion. We knew it wouldn't be much, but we definitely trusted and appreciated any "value". That car has been good to our family for two decades, and it was really hard to let go. We trust that it will be good to its' new owner, and still keep the car in our prayers. As a family who has bought, traded and sold cars with La Costa Auto Sales for nearly three decades, I can in all honestly give them the ultimate seal of approval. When we have relatives or friends who are just starting out, need a used car for a beginning driver, or looking for a reliable used car, we would always direct them here and trust that a positive transaction would take place for both parties.
