This is a great place to find your classic car. I went there looking for a Dodge Dart I saw online, without knowing the variety of options Rich had in his store. Long story short, I ended up with a '68 Chevelle that I've had for four months now. Rich is a great contributor to the classic car world, selling reliable cars ready to drive home at very competitive prices. After we agreed on a price, he went above and beyond, replacing the whole carpet free of charge to make a better first impression for my wife. A shoutout to his team that has been working with Rich for many years, offering knowledgeable and quick service. The car has been running great ever since, and I always consult his opinion on upgrades, keeping the post-sale experience great too. read more

Unfortunately I didn't read Russ F. feedback before purchase. I fell in love with a Mustang sold by this dealer and bought it. Purchase process and shipping was the best aspect. As far as working with the seller - pleasant to speak with and was flexible receiving payment. I would caution however to make sure you have the vehicle fully-inspected by professionals (body/paint, mechanic, etc.) before purchase. Much of what was said about the vehicle was inaccurate or wrong. I think the seller spoke from ignorance rather than intentionally misleading. His mechanic is probably not one. I have to sadly say that if you don't want to feel ripped off, buy elsewhere. read more

Not only does Rich have an amazing selection of vehicles. His customer service is top-notch. We had a couple of bumps in the road on our end and Rich was patient and helpful throughout the entire process. Even after the sale of the vehicle, Rich was more than helpful with answering questions about the vehicle, I highly recommend doing business with Rich and I hope I can do business with him again soon!! read more

Rich is honest and very knowledgable about vintage cars. You can trust him. He is relaxed and puts no pressure on you. I purchased a great vintage car from CaliifroniaCars which I had been trying to find for many months. He had it and no one else did. We put the car up on the rack. He thoroughly inspected it with me and and educated me about what to look for. Everythinig he said about the car has been true. He arranged for shipment across the country which went smoothly, just as planned. You can tell he has been doing this for a long time. When I had a title problem he responded immediately, even though he was on vacation. I can't imagine a better place to buy a vintage car. read more

Was searching for a car online and came across California Cars via their listing for a 2005 MBZ E320 Wagon. Reached out and got a quick response from Rich, so I decided to drive up from Los Angeles a couple of days later to take a look. After dealing with other sellers and test driving a few cars, I knew right away these guys were different. The car was exactly what I was looking for and Rich and company couldn't have been more helpful. Was in and out within an hour and super happy with the purchase a month later. Thanks guys! read more

I purchased a 1927 Model T Roadster from the great guys at California Cars back in 2013 and honestly its been one of the best purchases of my life. This car has been through everything with me. Starting a business, buying a home, closing a business, getting divorced, selling a home, starting over. Through it all, my beautiful 27 never left my side. I love it and am forever grateful to Rich and Gary for helping make a young hot rod kid's dream come true. The 27 has had minimal problems, if any and the guys were always there to introduce me to solid mechanics. I couldn't recommend this wonderful dealership more. If you are looking for a classic and want someone you can trust to sell you quality and be honest about the car, this is the place to go. Thanks again guys! read more

Excellent selection of amazing cars! I personally bought a vehicle here and it was a great deal. The guys are great to work with, and helped me out every step of the way. Thank you! read more

We found this car dealer online. Flew down to Simi Valley to see their cars. They have custom and antiques. Once we decided on the car we drove it home. Easy, straight forward, no muss no fuss. Would definitely deal with this company again. read more

Rich at California Cars is hands down the most honest person I've ever dealt with! He had exact the car I've been looking for years and it was priced fairly and EVERYTHING he represented. Rich put the car on the rack and went over every nut and bolt with me and provided me receipts and paperwork to support everything done in the restoration. After my purchase Rich followed up to repair every little thing that wasn't perfect, including the cigarette lighter and replacing the glove box insert. Mike, his in house mechanic, is a genius and master crafts man. Rich does far more than selling cars, he become a trusted friend. In my opinion he loves the cars he sells. BTW: a childhood friend who has done business with Rich on 3 different cars recondensed his to me. I honest fee like I got one of those high dollar restorations you see on TV for a fraction of the cost! read more

I recently bought a 1987 Porsche Carrera from Rich. I had been searching for the right car for months and I called Rich as soon as he posted this one. He gave me great info about the vehicle and was asking a very fair market price. I bought the vehicle without seeing it and Rich organized shipping for me. The car is better than I could have imagined. I've spoken to him a couple of times since and he has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The entire experience has been amazing and I would not hesitate to buy another vehicle from California Cars. I highly recommend starting your search here if you want a classic car at fair prices from an honest and helpful dealer. Thanks Rich! read more

Cool cars. Good prices. Great customer service. Prices are usually below Kelly blue book and cars are usually in good condition. These guys specialize in older Porsche's but have a number of American classics. read more

Richie and staff are super friendly and super knowledgable in all cars especially classic cars. His establishment offers buying and selling of any type of vehicle you can think of even motorcycles. This is the place to come if your curious in buying a car or if you just have any simple questions. Very professional and well mannered attitude. I bought my 1966 ford mustang a couple years back and was informative of any questions I had without hesitation. Hope to make this a lifelong relationship, And so far so good. read more

Awesome place to do business. and I have never been there! Bought a car from Rich via Internet. They were very helpful considering I was buying the car never having the opportunity to see it in person. They put the car up on a lift, took pictures of the bottom of the car, gave me pictures with a magnet on all the panels, and basically gave me everything I needed to feel good about the buy. The car showed up (after they helped me with the shipping process), and was better than I could have expected Then came the true test. When I went to register the car in NJ, they would not accept the title...long story but it was DMV being morons as usual. Rich jumped right in, got me a new title, and kept me informed the entire process. Cant say enough....if they have the car you like, buy it...they are the best to do business with. Top notch in every respect. read more

Very very happy I came to California Cars. Rich is an awesome person and he worked with me on getting a 1965 El Camino. The staff is very knowledgeable and kind. They all stopped what they were doing and greeted me which was a great feeling. There was no pressure to buy and when we made the deal the paperwork was quick and easy. When I picked up the El Camino it was waxed and ready to go. I have bought a few cars through dealerships before and my experience with California Cars was the best. I didn't see them as a dealership upon leaving. More like car enthusiastics who really do care about their customers. Definitely recommend to everyone to check them out when looking for a classic! read more

I've personally have been dealing with Richy at Calif Cars for over 10 years. He has sold a total of 5 cars for me over that period of time and I have been very comfortable and satisfied with all aspects of his business practices. I sent a pair of model A Fords to him and they were both sold within 90 days for a reasonable and fair price.I then sent a 40 pickup to him and it sold without a problem. Most recently, I shipped a Chevy Nomad, I had for around 10 years, as well as a custom Chevy pickup to Cal Cars and both were sold and I received all that we had agreed to. When I sent the cars, I also sent Richy the signed titles, and all I was left with was a one sheet copy of the consignment agreement. Had I delt with anyone other than Richy I would have been very anxious in trying to deal with the sale from out of state like I did. read more

Quality, Selection and HONEST OWNERSHIP! There is no substitution. Rich is a pleasure to work with. Its hard to find anyone who will work as diligent as Rich. The best, period! read more

Sorry i went there drove from palm springs the cars look OK but in bad shape they don't fix problems just use glue and type. I rolled down a window on a test drive and it dropped out, looked under the floor mat and found open cracks in floor pan, seal were rotted, no horn, no dome light old seat covers that was ripped. all he said about all this was well its an old car and they want good money for the cars like 12,000. for junk read more

Honest and fair prices as well as some of the cleanest cars around. I've been coming here for years and this business excels in both buying and selling your vehicle with a fair price to you so that you want to come back! read more

NOT TO BE TRUSTED- I purchased a 1995 Porsche 993 that was described as excellent. I bought it over the phone and web. In reality the car has very poor paintwork, oil leaks, worn brakes. The service records that were promised are non existent and the carfax shows 6 owners and not 2 as the seller had stated. Rich (sales guy) is very sharp and has an excuse for everything. The dealer uses poor photos and video so that they can state that they sold on the basis of full disclosure. In reality a purchase decision cannot be made on the basis of these. I have learnt a valuable lesson to not trust such auto dealerships and suggest you do the same and steer clear of this outfit read more

California Cars is the best! I have bought and sold many cars with Rich and each time it has been equitable. Rich does what he promises! The entire team is 'on it'. I highly recommend this establishment! read more

Just purchased a car from the guys at CaliforniaCars.com in Simi Valley. Found the car my son and I were interested in on line. We went out to see the car and find out the particulars. Truly a pleasure talking with Rick & Gary. What I really appreciated is the open honesty in discussing the car. We decided to purchase the car. It was sold "As Is". Which both my son and I fully understood. Got up onto the fwy and the first exit after getting on blew the LF tire. We contacted Rick to get a referral for a local tire shop. He told us where to go and said he would take care of the tire. We made it to the tire shop and after looking at all the tires opted to replace all 4 tires. Rick showed up and asked how the rest of the tires were and told him I had opted to replace all 4 tires. I was then told that he would take care of the bill. We did not ask for or expect California Car to step up to the plate like they did. Truly a please to deal with a company that totally understands customer service and stands up to what they sale. I would highly recommend California Cars to anyone looking for good quality used cars. Thanks again Rick and Gary read more

California Cars is a fantastic group of people to do business with. I have had them sell a car for me and the process was incredibly simple and easy. I got a great price for my car and they took care of all the paperwork. I also have had them do work on some of my classic cars and the quality and value of the work cant be beat anywhere. In addition, everyone there is friendly, helpful and above all trustworthy. California Cars is a top notch operation and I recommend them highly. I have been "playing with cars" for over 50 years and I speak from experience when I say that they are the best. read more

I just wanted to take the time to write a review for California cars. I was looking for a 1969 camaro and saw that they had one. I went down to look at the car and decided to buy it. Of coarse it is a used car, so there was no warranty. I had a small issue the day I took it home, so I called Rich. He told me to bring the car back and he would take a look at it. He did find a couple issues with it and took care of it and had the car delivered back to me all fixed at no charge. What other dealer would ever do that. Rich is the best. I would not buy a muscle car anywhere else but at California cars, Rich and Gary are a couple of great guys. Their cars are really nice as well. Just really down to earth guys. Rich took the time to go over the car with me. I know I probably bugged the hell out of him with questions, but not once did he show frustration. Again great guy to deal with. I wish I could have given them a 10 star review!!! read more

I received my car three days ago nice rite. At the of load the car would not stay at idle in gear. In the video Rich says it's cold blooded, I don't know what that means but sell sell sell. I discover that all the jets in the carberators have been closed so they won't let fuel into the chambers. Hm nice. So I went to the Holley web site and tuned the carbs ( hey, not a mech but not stupid either) low and behold car idles in gear and should be good. I drove the car 19 miles and rolled back into the house. Wow, nice should be good rite? Not so much one drive the carbs are leaking fuel everywhere and either the torque converter is toast or the front main seal in the transmission is shot. Well, there is a &600-$1000 dollar fix thanks for the LEMON! If you have any questions about my review please call me at 210-823-1580 and I will give you my fun time. Hey Sold As Is!! read more
