I had a great experience buying my son a car from here, excellent service and communication... Our salesman Manny was absolutely awesome!!

Golden oldies service center off 52 has exceptional customer service. This is not my first time and definitely won't be my last. Sam answered the phone immediately and listened to my concerns with overheating ,how I just got it out the shop, and let me ramble on . Let me bring it in that morning and a few hours later problem solved for less than 50 dollars. If you want to get your car on the road fast and don't want repairs taking all your money I suggest you go here .trustworthy and honest . read more

I went to Golden Oldies Auto Sales just to look at and test drive a vehicle that was advertised on their website, I was expecting the old bait and switch routine, however, I was VERY happy with the customer service. My salesman was Robert Ramos, I cannot say enough about him, listened and answered all questions, what I told him was taken care of right away, I'm so happy with the SUV that was purchased, and the process was pain free. They worked to get me the best rate and with minimal time to complete the paperwork and NO hassle. I bought a 2015 Ford Edge SUV (mint condition), tried it out, liked it, was just looking but saw this and couldn't pass up. I would greatly recommend Golden Oldies Auto Sales to my friends and family. read more

So I gave them a try. Will never buy another car there. They misrepresented the vehicle then after I took it to a garage to have "the obvious problem" checked. Which I had returned to Gold Old Staff about a week after purchase and I was assured it was some DIRT THAT GOT UP IN THE WHEELS. After I got the car up on a rack, to see the problem. I immediately called Golden Oldie staff and they gave me the run around. They kept telling me to call back. They weren't sure who I should talk to. They passed me from one staff to another. Finally gave me the service department in Pasco Co. That guy wanted to lecture me, tell me I should have contacted him in the first place. He wanted to tell me what I had seen with my own eyes wasn't possible. You know the type talking about everything but the facts. He's off talking about his wife and children, going out to dinner the other night and he didn't talk to the waitress about his problem. He was trying to say I should have called him in the fast place. But didn't want to talk about the problem. He did tell me to bring the car to Pasco Co. 20 miles away. He would look at it. I know from experience that game. Id sit there all day. Then at the end of the day he wouldn't have even looked at the car and Id be out a whole day. It was already 10:30. On that morning at 8:30 I called the business. I got the salesperson I bought the car from. I told him the problem. He acted angry and couldn't give me any help. He told me to call back in 1/2 hour. I had to pin him down to find out who I would speak to in 1/2 hour. The office manager would be in. He on purchase had told me the car had New Brakes all around. Truth, the car had Warped Rotors all around, worn brakes on the back, some new brake pads on the front. I called back in 3/4 hour Bryan answered again and now he sounded angry. The office manager wasn't in. I asked if he could have her call me, he said he would. I called back at 10:00 the office manager was in. When I questioned why she didn't call me back. She said how could She call me. She didn't have my number. I just spent $30,000 there. I would think if they wanted they could have found my number. I just kept getting the run around. They didn't want to make it right. The only thing that will make it right. Is if you dont buy a car from them either. There still is Consumer power in the word of mouth. read more

Gave them a try after being referred by a family member. This was my first time buying a car at a dealership. The dealership failed to disclose issues a car had before contract was signed, saying it was clean according to their Experian records. Car had in fact been damaged frontally. When I tried to back out because of this, they put the manager on the phone, who shouted at me and used high pressure tactics and what appeared to be veiled threats "You own the car on our lot and you owe us money for it, if you back out,I don't know what we'll do(veiled threat here I think). call us back by 5*hangs up* eventually was forced to go through with the purchase, after having essentially been cajoled into doing so, as the contract had already been signed before I was able to discover the problems. What should have been a nice car buying experience became a miserable slog and now I'm stuck with a car that for all I know has unseen damage internally. The salesman involved was Bryan Schoonover. I don't know the name of the manager(Maybe "Tony". I'll be there tomorrow to go through with this just so that it can be over. Right now, the car is still on the lot. As far as I'm concerned, the car was misrepresented or they didn't do the basic research that shows up on even a carfax report. Do not trust these people, double check EVERYTHING. read more

I was referred to Golden Oldies by my grandfather (Gus) who used to work their. Bryan my salesman was a pleasure to work with. He really listened to my concerns and went above and beyond to meet my expectations. I couldn't be more happier with the level of service provided by this establishment. I drove off with an unbelievable deal and into a '16 Ford Mustang Convertible Ecoboost. I am in LOVE! Thank you again Bryan. I am a very satisfied customer. read more

Golden Oldies Auto Sales - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Hudson, Florida

My wife and I purchased 2 cars from golden in the last 4 months. One we've had no trouble with the 2nd 1 had a battery problem. They didn't know how to fix it so they put in a new battery for $250. It was not the battery they didn't know what to do. I took it to the dealer They fixed it. about 15 or 20 minutes. I asked golden to at least compensate me for the labor for a battery that I didn't need. They also told me that I needed all new wiring and spark plugs. The dealer said I didn't need that . I've never heard another word from them. So that's 2 cars purchased and 2 recommended people to come in and both bought cars. You would think they would stand by their customers? I like them but i'm very disappointed in their service and customer support. read more

*The perspective of a former car salesperson* I put a lot of thought into my review, please read until the end, so you save yourself from my mistakes. So, while my rating is poor, Jen, and the dealership itself did do a few things right! First of all, I few into Hudson to buy my car, and Jen was there to pick me up from the airport. That definitely above and beyond! Jen was also quick over the phone to answer questions. Unfortunately, that's just the first half of the story. In list format, here's some areas of improvement. -The $495 "dealer fee" was disclosed to me AFTER I sent my (non refundable) deposit. I truly don't think this was intentional, however, it's an unacceptable oversight. - I was told over text that the car had a service history- It did not. - The car had been repainted. (For context, the car I bought is a collectable 2006 GTO, a repaint does lower the value of the car) This was not disclosed to me either before I flew in. - under acceleration, the serpentine belt shrieks. When I noticed this on the test dive I was told "sounds normal to me" The tensioner needs to be replaced. - The upper part of the back seats had become so sun- damaged, that the leather is coming apart. - After I left, I checked the oil level only to find it 2 QUARTS low. This is the only claim I don't have proof for, but I'll leave it anyways. Despite all this, I did buy the car. In my mind I had already invested a $200 dollar flight, and a 1k deposit, making it difficult for me to walk because of the issues. But then, just two days after purchase the car got locked into "limp home mode" because of an expensive sensor. When I brought the issue up with the dealer, asking if they would order the part if I took care of the labor, I was told that I should be grateful for the deal I got, and "what more do you want from a car deal" seriously. I proceeded to list all the issues I had in the same list format I used above, and, was promptly called a liar, and told, word for word, "I send you the g**d*mn bill of sale!" And yes, she did send me a bill of sale... again, after I sent my deposit. One thing I've learned though working sales for most of my career is you can tell a lot about a company by the way the handle issues AFTER they have what they want. And in this case, Golden Oldies auto sales and Jen showed me EXACTLY how they handle such instances. If everything goes well, you may have an superb experience... But ask yourself this. When your car goes into limp home mode, or breaks down two days after purchase, do you want a dealer that will stand by you even when they're not obligated too? But simply because it's the right thing to do. Because they're out there. I've worked for them first hand. But Golden Oldies does NOT make that cut. (I DO NOT make claims I cannot prove or provide documentation for. I'm putting together a google drive document with screenshots and times that will be added to this review in the event I get called a liar... again.) read more

My wife and I bought three used cars at the same time from Golden Oldies. We purchased a 2007 Cadillac DTS for me and my wife, a 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe for our daughter, and a 2005 Volvo XC90 for our son. We payed just over $26K for all three vehicles cash. Within the first two days the front end of the Cadillac began shaking horribly whenever we exceeded 60mph. We took it to Autonation Cadillac in NPR and discovered the vehicle had been in an accident and needed a new control arm and tie rod ends. The repairs cost $2500. As soon as my daughter washed the Hyundai Santa Fe all of the letters on the tailgate fell off. The driver's side seat belt wouldn't lock. Both sun visors were ripped from the ceiling and placed back in place so when she tried to use the sun visor it fell off in her hand. My son drove the Volvo XC90 for a little over a month and the timing belt broke resulting in a completely trashed engine. When I went in person to talk to the "manager" of Golden Oldies he told me it was my problem and he was completely rude. When I reminded him the salesman told me that they have a garage and would be happy to fix any issues I experience within the first month for free he demanded I leave his office. Never again. read more

My husband and I called to inquire about a specific truck that they had advertised on their website. They assured us that it was there. So we loaded our 4 children up and drove 30+ miles to their establishment only to be told that "right after they hung up the phone with us", their sister store in Spring Hill came, and they allowed them take the truck. No apology. Just a suggestion for us to take our children 20+ more minutes farther north than we had driven. Terrible customer service. Poor communication. read more

My daughter went to purchase a car there internet price was $11,000 when she got there they told her the price was 15,000 she told them of internet price they insisted that she cannot afford the car which she very well can! - They treated her like dirt - she called me in tears at how she was treated - Correct me if I am wrong but the bait and switch tactic as well as false advertising is a criminal offense and will be reported to the proper authorities - hassle free my ass! Too bad they do not have a negative star rating - they rate a minus 20 in my book - how dare you do this to people! read more

After being turned down at every dealership from Spring Hill to New Port Richey, my fiancé and I finally were approved for a vehicle, big enough for our family of 6, with payments within our budget. My credit isn't good, nor is my fiancé's and with Christmas literally days away, our bank account is pretty slim. Tony was our salesman and from the minute I met him, I fell in love! He was more than just a sh*t talking salesman, like most of them are, he was personable and very honest and he never tried to sell us something we couldn't afford or something that wasn't good enough for our 4 kids. Tony took a chance on us and believed that even though our credit was less then perfect, we were worthy enough to drive off of the car lot with a car. I cannot thank Tony and Gordon (the big boss) enough for working with us and showing us that there is still hope. If you need a car, a reliable car, go to Golden Oldies and go see Tony! You will love him just as much as we do! I will refer everyone I know to Golden Oldies. Thank you so so so so so much! read more

I purchased a car from here a couple of weeks ago. The sales part went pretty smooth but so far everything after that is a joke. Having issues with the car and every time I call I'm told let me call you right back or I'll call you tomorrow and get no call back. Then I bring it to the service store on 52 and they can't seem to find anything wrong with it even though I'm loosing coolant. The service manager seems like he is trying to help and figure it out but The sales manager at the 19 location wanted to disrespect me and talk to me like I was stupid because he promised to call me back when I was trying to get the car looked at and never got the call so I called him back 5 days later. I thought I had finally found a halfway decent local, small business dealership, somewhere I could go to support small businesses in the area but come to find out it's just like I went to a buy here pay here. Do Not Recommend!!! An actual Dealership is the way to go. They have an actual warranty and prices are the same or better at a legit dealer. read more

Big Mistake! Be very careful of this dealer. We drove three hours to look at a Rav4 they had on the lot for sale. I specifcally as the salesman if it leaked any oil. He said no. After driving it I thought it wasa good enough vehicle to purchase. So we sat down to do business. They would not budge on the price. I should have walked away right then, but I liked the SUV and agreed to their price. After having the vehicle sitting on our driveway, I noticed an oil spill under it. I called the dealership and talked to the manager. I told him that I was sure the SUV was inspected by their mechanic before it was put on the lot. That surely he had noticed the leak. The manager actually told me, that if they would have fixed it, they would have to ask more for the car. And that it couldn't be sold. BELIEVE THAT?!! He would not do anything about it!! So now I have a pretty good size stain on our special paved driveway. Which it will cost me to have it cleaned, plus the oil leak repaired. NOT HAPPY!! So be very cautious if you go there. In fact, I would find another dealership all together. UPDATE, two different mechanics looked at the SUV. Both said that it was the timing cover. And that it would cost between $2,000-$3000 to repair it! No matter what dealership you're looking at, have your mechanic look at the vehicle first. read more

I purchased a vehicle from the store located on sr52, I kept the radio on 0 just so I could listen to the car for the first two weeks. Everything checked out and my salesman Eric told me to go to a car audio shop and played it like it wasn't his problem. Now I'm currently in Orlando for work and he told me that I would have to pay for shipping to get my tag... a bunch of clowns at the golden oldies on 52. Nothing is worth the headache and hassle from the 52 store... read more

Went to see about buying a car and was completely blown off by Anthony Vannatta Jr. He said he had to take a "phone call". I gave him the length of me using the facilities and smoking a cigarette and never saw him on the phone once. This place was recommended by someone and I'll be sure to let that person know exactly what happened. Anthony was a complete asshole. read more

Sent my good friends to this local dealer to buy a jeep. I was promised a referral of $250 if they bought car. Its been 2 month's and im still owed $125 from Dean. Dean promised it would be mailed to me. Broken promises! read more

This is my favorite place to buy a car. I have bought 2 cars from them and both have been exceptional. If I find a problem with the car, they will correct it. I had a part call off the sun visor and took it to the dealer and they put a brand new one on for me. The car I just purchased runs great, everything works as it should. Financing was no problem either, they worked with me and got the monthly payment I needed. Thank you to Kenny at the state road 19 and to Donnie who got my visor on. read more

I wrote a review on the SR 52 location but wanted to also state here that Eric and the guys were great and how it was refreshing to buy a car without any pressure and to feel that our business was appreciated. If your looking for a used car check them out!!! read more

I dare you to try a great car buying experience you won't be sorry !!! read more

I saw a vehicle on their website I was interested in so I called and spoke to Peter. Apparently if you are looking at vehicles on the lower end of their inventory they aren't very interested in your business. Peter finally agreed to "take a look at" my credit ap but after hearing nothing, I finally had to track him down. Well, if I can come up with half as the down payment maybe they can do something. I told him that I had seen another vehicle, same make, model and year with a similar odometer reading and price tag at another dealership but it was 50 miles away and I was trying to stay a little closer (all true and in fact I like the other color and interior better).The other dealer had the financing in about an hour and was asking for about 1/4 down. I was hoping for a little negotiation here but what I got was "okay, glad it will work out for you" click! Guess if you want customer service from this company, you'd better shop at the high end of their inventory. read more

Buying my car here was very easy, and the staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a quality used car at an affordable price. read more

Bought two vehicles when employed there. Both were sold with faulty air bags and one had practically bald tires. I was told the price accepted and was only supposed to pay 4500, well the scumbags fired me after a year of employment and raised the price to my car which I'm still paying on by an additional $1500 Dont fall for the bbb rating anyone can payoff people to keep it high. These guys are shysters and treat their employees like crap! Buyer beware! read more

I purchased a car recently and would not recommend this company to anyone. I test drove the car and it seemed to run good. After driving the car home, the engine began to make a loud noise and the check engine light came on (within 30 minutes of my purchase). I brought the car back that very next morning, less than 24 hours of the purchase. They refused to refund and stated "There's no lemon law in Florida". The manager of the store was argumentative and defensive. He offered to have the mechanics look at the car. After the mechanics looked over the car, they decided they would not repair any of the problems. Their response was "you purchased the car as is". A reputable company would have made right on my purchase. read more
