We already had a car in mind, so within 20 minutes of being there we were already given an estimate and started running the numbers. Since we're first time buyers we've been having trouble getting approved for anything lower than 10-13%, however Geo actually lowered the price of the car to help us get a rate of 8.25%. We were there for a total of 2 1/2 hours signing the forms was super easy and didn't take up too much time, we were mostly waiting because the car was getting washed and vacuumed for us. We didn't have to deal with any external forms from the dmv, and were even given a complimentary week of insurance so that we would be able to take the car home in the meantime while we shopped around for our own insurance. Overall I loved the experience, would definitely recommend

My husband, Tristan, & I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Toyota of Claremont. Being…read morelocal to Claremont, it made the most sense for us to shop local when needing to purchase our first new car. We're so thankful we came across the two gentleman who helped us, Hany Gaied from sales & Daniel Vidales in finance. From the get-go, Hany was already a kind & honest man. Though we were back & forth looking at a few vehicles, his patience never wavered despite how busy he was. For us, it didn't appear busy at all because of his attentiveness. We appreciate the lengths he went to to ensure we received the best he could offer and truly, he delivered. After moving forward & working with Daniel, we must say that he definitely set the bar with what it means to work with a finance manager at a dealership. Daniel was straightforward and very transparent with all the fees, details, and car jargon that is so foreign to someone new to all this information. He made it very easy to understand that we feel like we could even teach back his presentation to someone. That's truly a sign of a well-informed presenter. It was very evident in how he spoke to us that he was extremely knowledgeable in his work. We could not be more grateful for our experience with Daniel. Toyota of Claremont-- thank you. We look forward to working with you guys again in the future.

First of all I would like to say read this whole review…read more I am writing this review since I got about 20 messages to please leave them one from the automated text even about 3 months later.. First I would like to thank my salesman Anthony (Tony) for helping me with my purchase. I got a ford f-150 from this dealership and Tony was helpful with me test driving the vehicle and I purchased the vehicle from them. He was very kind and nice and I have no complaints about him. Now after test driving the vehicle we got back to the desk and I wanted to talk numbers. Anthony told me the selling price of the truck and it had a $5,000 accessory fee added. Please keep in mind I came a couple days before to test drive an f-150 and it was a v6 but I was interested in the v8 which at the time he let me know they had barely received and was not ready. He contacted me a couple days later saying the v8 was going to be ready same day after their mechanics looked into it to see if it was worth selling (if not they would send it to auction because it wasn't worth fixing/selling) so I went in to test drive the truck and wanted to talk about numbers. This is when my experience turn bad. I told him I would like to purchase the truck at the listed price without the accessories and he went to to speak with his manager "Hector" Now hector is a closing manager and his only job is to make you spend more money on their vehicles He also stated that the truck ALREADY came with all the accessories included meaning they add them before they sell them... remember that I asked the hardest question a manager could answer. "Do I HAVE to purchase the accessories if i would like to buy this vehicle " Which hector replied " you do not need to buy this vehicle if you don't want to..." I told him I would like to buy the vehicle but do not need any accessories He replied with " then I will not sell you this vehicle then, I will not accept your offer" Me sadden by hearing that after waisted 5 hours there I felt that I had found a truck I had liked and was pushed to purchase the accessories it turned into a bad experience. Unfortunately I left with a truck that had mix matched tires with different tread life on them (because they passed their tread inspection) a truck with no second key or with any floor mats, a truck with paint in the bed liner that they were supposed to remove but only removed a section where the previous owner spray pained a license plate ( there were other parts of the bed that still have paint but they didn't want to clean those parts) a truck that was supposed to be detailed but they failed to do that (there was parts of the truck that had tape residue form their dealer paper that was sticked on. Please keep in mind the manager hector was negotiating me the value of this truck when he clearly didn't know 99% of the problem this truck had. He didn't know there was spray paint on the bed, he didn't know it didn't have floor mats (which he told me to go buy) he told me no way he would put matching tires on the truck (front tires are dry rotted) The only positive thing I will say is that service fixed a broken part of the truck (check engine light the moment I got on the freeway from purchasing my truck) and the guy named (Isaiah) he helped me and fixed the problem so appreciate that. Apart from that my credit union had me pay the accessories from the truck and I had to come out of pocket for things I didn't even need but like hector said the dealership needs to make money so good for them I guess. I did not buy any dodge product I only went there since they had a truck I was interested in. Unfortunately I would not recommend this place because of the experience I received form the manager hector. I hope this helps...

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.

The positive part of my experience with this dealership is my salesperson Danny went out of his way…read moreto be helpful. He even drove the car to their Santa Ana location for me to test drive. My disappointment began when I took my car to my mechanic to have it inspected. Danny sent me a picture of him standing in front of the car, up on the lift, and their mechanic inspecting the rear end of the car. See attached pictures and text. My mechanic put the car up on his rack and immediately determined this car had been in a severe accident which damaged the rear end of the car, that had been repaired and there were also many prominent areas of visible rust that had be growing for awhile. I was assured this car had never been in an accident and (you'll see from the attached pictures and text) assured it had been thoroughly inspected prior to my driving it. How frustrating and disappointing I wasn't informed by anyone at California Direct Motors of this obvious accident. So even though I would recommend Danny as a good salesperson, I can't in good conscious recommend this dealership. And I purchased my current car from another dealership. FYI- Danny's text to me Hi Christine this is Danny. Here are two pics of the car with me in there. Im having the car thoroughly inspected because i know that was a concern of yours. Thats why its up on the hoist.

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.

I want to preface this by saying the guy who helped us out was nice but bad taste in our mouth…read moreafter they have the car listed aggressively low online but had hidden & huge "dealer added fees." Now I know most dealerships will have those, and normally, I call ahead and ask if they have any and if those fees are negotiable or mandatory. Most of the time dealerships will skirt around it and say we can always work something out but I usually don't go to that dealer unless they don't have ANY fees or say it's totally optional. So again, this was on me for not calling ahead. But we packed up our 8 week old. Drove 1.5 hours away ready to purchase and after the test drive we were showed these fees. And after several back and forth, there was no movement. We offered to pay the sticker price (+ tax, license & fees) AND we were trading in an old vehicle (not work much, but running). I mean $5,480 of dealer added fees is ridiculous. So my warning is to be aware of these fees, ask ahead of time before you waste your time. Everything happens for a reason though because we ended up finding a 2022 KIA Sorrento SX Prestige S Line with about 58,000 miles on it for LOWER. I mean it's the highest possible trim level for that model that year and it's a sweet car. Brown interior, heated leather seats, moonroof, anything you need! And it was about $25,000 list price. I called ahead, got an offer in writing (including the trade in value of my husband's car) and no dealer added fees. We came with a check in hand, drove the car and was out of there with the new! WAY better experience @ Wondries Toyota in Alhambra.

Our experience at Baron Elite was top-tier. Arian does not feel like a car salesman in the best way…read morepossible. He was very honest about the history of the vehicle we went to see, addressed all the concerns we had with the history report as well. I may be wrong but I believe he is a one-man show. He purchases, inspects, repairs himself if viable, and sells the vehicles. He was also hands-off in the best way possible, letting us take our time looking over the vehicle without hovering so we could discuss any matters we wanted to without feeling like we were being listened in on. He allowed us to test drive the vehicle without him present and also took us for a test drive to display his confidence in the vehicle's performance. I believe all the vehicles he has listed on his website are at or below market value so his pricing is rather transparent. Similar vehicles we had gone to see were priced $1-2k more than what Arian had ours listed at. After purchase, we genuinely felt like Arian's main focus was not to sell us car and complete the sale, but to make sure we were confident in our purchase and made the decision that was right for us. I have already referred some family members and if I need another vehicle in the future, I will definitely be coming to Arian at Baron Elite first. Thank you Arian for the smoothest car buying experience we have ever had.
