If I could give 0 stars I would, Bought a BMW x5, ran great till I drove it home, on the way home check engine light came on, took it back they made it go away till it came on again 2 weeks later, took it back they made it go away for 6 months then basically the warranty they give at the so called "dealership" expires and the guy on the phone told me sorry we can't help good bye... The finance guy "Moe" hope he doesn't work there anymore poor people he screwed over, he's a snake! Basically my car has been sitting in a shop for over 3 years because they can't figure out what's wrong with it. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE, DO NOT BE FOLLED BY THEM, THEY HAVE ONE PRICE ONLINE AND ANOTHER WHEN YOURE THERE! TRUST ME! AS A RETIRED MARINE, STAY AWAY FROM THE HEADACHE. read more

You would never send your wife to this place alone. Like an urban Fort Apache, it sits in a semi secluded alleyway surrounded by a crude chain link fence and barbed wire. The sales "office" is a very rusted out old trailer home. Our initial greeting at the place was a employee yelling at us to not park within the barbed-wire. We liked the safety of being inside the barbed-wire and there were plenty of spaces available. The on line reviews all say that they advertise at one price and, then, dramatically mark up the price upon arrival. This was the case with us. The lot advertised a car for $23,000 on line. When we arrived the Salesman said he couldn't sell it to us for that price, because it was "below market," and tried to sell it to us for $29K! We walked. So should you. Please save yourself a drive to this scary hell-hole Jersey City/Linden. read more

Very unprofessional they won't allow customers to speak with management. They want you to finance through a bank of there choice, when you offer to pay cash they talk you out of paying cash. My experience with them was horrible. read more

Scammer alert!!!! Buyer beware!!! Made me go several times, they said they can only talk prices after they ran my credit. 830 credit score, 6 figure job and they came up with an extremely high interest rate from their bank. I said I would bring my own bank approval and they drove up the price by $4k. After a week waiting for "the bank to release the title", they said the title was lost and couldn't sell the car. Come to find out they sold the vehicle while they were giving me the runaround. They price gouge the vehicle when they can't get you to finance through their bank, lie to you and make you waste your time. I was told 4 people couldn't afford the car and I see why. I contacted the state of NJ DMV, BBB and placing a complaint with the NJ consumers affairs. read more

Zero stars. Champion of Paterson NJ is a bunch of shiesters! The fine print had a couple numbers without $$$ signs. No truth in advertising. They ran my credit And wanted me to pay 3k before they would show me a contract. It was going to be on-line price, plus 12k in stuff, plus shipping. Fortunately I did not let my emotions get a hold of me but this does not sit well. From more than one person they they used the words "let me be perfectly honest with you". WTF?!?! Why wouldn't you be. Car was going to cost WAY more than it was worth. You buy from these people you either have stupid money to spend or are a complete putz! Other places have nice cars too. Don't waste your time going here. read more

Bensonhurst Brooklyn girl was lookin for a Caddy for a few months - 2 door coupe - found my dream girl at Champion over the weekend. I passed by and was greeted by a wonderful guy named Tony. He was friendly and kind and got right to work for me in showing me the car and getting down to business. Everyone at their place was so nice! Offered me a nice cold glass of water while I was waiting and within an hour I was approved, insured, and rollin out the door in my new ride. Glad to say I found my dream car and also have a place to bring her to for service. Happy I get to see my friends over at champion again when she needs her oil changes and stuff. Thank you Tony, Jimmy and all the gentleman at champion for making my summer one to remember. read more

My temp registration has expired...I paid Champion to take care of this because that's one of the obvious perks of doing a trade in. They told me they would take care of everything and I requested to swap my plates. Champion did a fine job with the sale and financing, but NOT the registration. I am now driving an illegal vehicle because they didn't send the paperwork in to the dmv in time. I will now be looking for reimbursement for this service and I'm just doing it myself today. What a waste of time...Champion 2 did a fine job on the sale and my new truck is very nice, but it's a totally illegal unregistered truck I'm driving at this point. Very disappointing finish to an otherwise smooth transition. Hope they fix this and I hope I don't get pulled over. Ridiculous as a dealership can get this done in a day if they actually give a shit. read more

Crown Auto Sales of JC Are the most dangerous fake advertising con artists I've ever encountered. I was trying to buy a 2018 Audi Q5, which had a sticker price of 21500 dollars. After they lured me in and ran my credit, they increased the price to 27500 dollars while insisting that they had posted the car's sticker price incorrectly. When I refused to buy the car, they threatened to fight me. Please don't fall for their tricks. read more

BE AWARE OF THEIR HIDDEN FEES !!! This place is very sketchy and unprofessional, they list a low price to make it look like a good deal, but in reality it's $5,000-$6,000 more after their hidden fees. They would go in circles and not tell you these fees and try to include them to your monthly payment... scam scheme ! Also they wouldn't refund my $500 deposit, although I was told it's refundable if I change mind (which I obviously did after finding out ridicules fees), claiming they have som tech issue, after 10 days I had to go through my bank to dispute it. The most shitty dealership I've ever been too! read more

This place is fucking bullshit. No one believe what they tell you. I have been under an impression of a car being a certain price. Despite the fact i have spoken to someone over the phone about this and them confirming the price, when i called the price has magically increased. No one listen to their advertising. read more

Check engine light still on , Tires already replaced after 2 months This place is a Joke and my first car Buying experience It has been nothing but headaches and getting no help really foes suck especially when they try to rassu read more

This is by far the worst business I've ever seen ran. I've been buying and fixing cars for a long time now and this man is horrific. He sold my friend a 2002 Honda Accord with no brakes, a near dead battery, a leak in his fuel line, and more. He turned off the check engine light just to sell the car, and did a couple tweaks here and there just to sell the car. This car is nowhere near safe and nowhere near cleared for inspection. He's a false advertising liar whose main goal is to rip people off. If you want a safe reliable car don't ever come near this place. This place is bad news and I promise you you'll never hear from this man again. Stay safe guys and watch out !!!! read more

I would not reccomend purchasing a car from here. I recently bought an eclipse there. I am young and this is the first car I ever purchased. They changed the price on me calling it a dealer prep free but I dong see anything that has been prepped. First month I got a check engine light. The interior by the speedometer is messed up and apparantly they cant do a thing about it. They said they ordered a peoce for the trunk of the car. It has never came and it's about to be 2 months. Moral of the story, dont make the same mistake I did. Mike tries so hard to seem nice but when you ask him a legitimate question he doesn't know how to answer he just smiles. Biggest regret and now I know for the future. read more

ZERO Stars!!! These guys are sketchy to say the least. They are the epitome of the stereotypical "Used Car Salesman". And that comes from someone who is in Sales. I called about a vehicle that was on their website & was told that it was in the shop. When I asked when they expected it to be back they couldn't answer (red flag #1). I called the next day for an update, because I was told that other people were interested in this vehicle & I didn't want to miss the opportunity to see it, but I was again told that it was still in the shop (red flag #2) but this time that it should be back on the lot the next day, YAY, right? NO!. I called the next day & was told it still wasn't back & they didn't know when it would be available (red flag #3). Today I got a notification from CarFax that the car was sold...WTF!?!? I don't know what to call this "Sales Tactic" other than sleazy. If they had another buyer who left a deposit or something, why not just tell me that so I can move on? If the other sale fell through, they could have called me back, right? If you don't want to waste your time & be strung along by a duplicitous schmuck with the personality of roadkill, avoid these people. If you're an employee of these tactless jerks with any sense of self-worth, check your values because you're going to be asked to string people along rather than provide good customer service to potential customers. read more

Let's see I went in to purchase a 2014 BMW 320i That was advertised on Car Gurus for $10,994 When I arrived I talked with Mike aka con - artist Who told me the price advertised was the cash price not the actual price which came to about $18,961 With all the dealer fees which is a bunch of Bullshit...the cash price should be just that granted small registration fees and taxes. Stay Away...from these guys please be guided by the contents of this message. I came in with 12K for a car advertised at just about 11k and these idiots wanted me to pay more then $18K wow! Then I showed them reviews from another location at the 100 E. St. George's location in Linden NJ the one I was dealing with. Surprisingly the finance Manager and Mike the Super Slick Salesman who said "oh that's another dealership we own it wasn't me like Really " please please please please stay away from this place if you care about your money, time and sanity. lastly my Credit Score was 780 and they still tried to Dick me. Don't waste time with these con-artist I was there five hours And running my credit brought my score down a few points for nothing Stay Away far away... read more

Price advertised online is the price if you are paying straight cash . Which it does say on the website .. however I met with Andrew and he was nice but I wasn't too persuaded by that nice bs.. car I was interested in had a Carfax sticker in the window but they no longer use Carfax so I wasn't able to get a complete car fax on the vehicle . Also he was determined to run my credit before allowing me to test drive the vehicle first . He said y put more miles on the car if you're not sure you are gonna purchase it ?as if I was driving to China Lol . but anyway he would not give me a price on the vehicle until he ran my credit through, so you know what that meant .. read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could. Check out my review for them on Google and CarGurus. Internet price is listed for less than what they actually charge. The internet prices are "finance prices." They claim it says this in their descriptions but after I went and spoke to Andrew and Tommy, who was rude, I read their description and did not find anything about finance prices. Also read other reviews from people who actually bought cars and had issues with the vehicles they purchased. There is a reason this place is rated so low. Please please please, save your money and buy from another place or from an actual dealership guys. This place should not even be a last resort. Plus, with their hidden fees, you could probably buy a reliable car for the same price from an actually reliable dealer. read more
