Never ever,ever,ever buy a car from these people. I have gone through a living nightmare with ideal cars. Purchased a car online had it shipped to me here in Massachusetts. I could not register the vehicle due to the fact I did not have the title, which is required here in Ma. Long story short is they withheld the title from me for almost two months. And when I tell you this is the short story I could go on forever about this issue. IT IS 1000 TIMES WORSE. Keeping it short for it aggravating me just thinking about it. it also cost me additional 1100 dollars in sales tax. read more

I had a really great experience buying my car from this dealership. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, professional, and never made me feel pressured. They answered all my questions honestly and took the time to explain everything clearly. The vehicle selection was solid, and the car I ended up buying was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. The financing process was straightforward and smooth, with no hidden surprises. Everything was transparent, which I really appreciated. It's not always easy to find a used car lot you can trust, but this one definitely earned it. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and an stress-free buying experience. read more

Ideal Cars - Porsche 911 - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Not this location, but the one on Broadway was trying to sell me a car that I was fully interested and committed to buy, but then tried say that I HADD to pay gap insurance. Which isn't true in the state of Arizona and on top of that. They tried to sneak in the cost of $2500 and tried to say it was on me to pay a reconditioning fee which is their responsibility. Mind you all of my life, I've never heard of such a thing. So the price went from 11,000 to 17,000 with all the bs they tried to add on. And here's the kicker when I asked why would they set the car so low at first if that's not the true price of it they said I quote " that's how we get people to come in" like HUHHHH so I guess lying to get people to come in is the new thing now read more

This place is such a joke. Bought my vehicle in February and have had nothing but issues with it. The service department is beyond unprofessional. They act as though they get paid to make you feel as dismissed as possible. read more

Got my 2018 Toyota Corolla here right before Christmas. I will say, they definitely added a ton of random charges at the end. The bank they financed me through was almost at 7% interest, despite having almost an 800 credit score. And really my biggest complaint, they delivered my car with about a 1/4 tank of gas... Like if I dropped 15k on this car, I feel like filling up before you deliver, not to much to ask. Probably wouldn't purchase from here again because of that. read more

They sold me a super mega lemon! I think my salesman, Sunday, knew the Ford Escape he sold me was a bucket of trouble. As I was driving home from the dealership, I stopped to get gas. When I tried to start the car again, it wouldn't start. I called the dealership and Sunday laughed audibly then gave me a step-by-step jumbo jumbo to start the car that seemed to work. Every time I fueled up the car, I had to do this special ritual to get it to start again. Okay, whatever... But then, the transmission went out a few months later. It was covered by the warranty that Ideal required me to get, so... whatever... But then, the engine went out about six months later. The warranty was only good for the assessed value of the car and I had already used it up getting the transmission fixed! It wasn't whatever anymore, it was thousands of dollars out of my pocket. So far, the repairs on the car had cost me as much as the car itself. You would think I had enough pain, but no... Another four or five months passed and a tire blew out in the Glamis area late at night. I got lucky to get a tow truck out there at all. Now, I finally had enough and sold the SUV, but it wasn't done with me... United Kia took the car in as trade, but I had to carry the balance from my lemon loan. Whatever, just get me out from under this car... I guess the dealer had trouble with the transfer of liability, so that fell back on me. It was some magic Ideal Cars voodoo that caused this, I am sure. I filed that darn form three times, then finally got on a chat with the DMV. More magic voodoo caused the transfer of liability form to be misfiled. Okay... resolved now?...F-NO!!! I picked up my mail today and had a citation from City of Calexico and a notice of pending sale from a towing company in Calexico. I've only been to Calexico once and I wasn't driving that car!! More voodoo!!! I am sending copies of my transfer of liability at my own expense yet again. A $6000 mistake has cost me twice that so far and I am still paying since the balance was rolled into my new car loan nearly two years ago. And the pain and suffering of having to fight with the DMV is priceless. I'll never buy a car at Ideal again and I advise others to steer clear. The whole experience was way less than ideal. read more

12/10/25 I thought Bait & Switch was illegal. Old Rav online for $6500. Called to confirm. Drove 40 minutes. Test drive. Then the price sheet by the horrible sales guy. "Let's walk to my office (cubicle) then sheet down on the desk, "Let's look at the CarFax." Apparently, he thought it was 1974 and the internet wasn't real. I've done my homework; I've looked at the CarFax. I told him I already looked at it online and just wanted to see the price sheet and buy the car. $600 "Dealer" fee and $1600 "Refinishing" fee, which of course they couldn't substantiate. These crooks think adding $2200 or 35% increase in price is good business. What a waste. I asked the clown pretending to be a sales guy if he had the authority to remove the BS fees. He said he didn't, at which point I grabbed the paper and walked to the 12-year-old pretending to be a sales manager. I said, "You know why people hate car dealerships? This is why. This bait & switch BS." After he said he couldn't remove the BS fees, I threw the keys on his desk and walked out. Think about it. Cash buyer. Ready to go. Quick and easy sale. Nope. Games. Bait & Switch. Lies. Waste of time. Horrible sales guy. Horrible sales manager. Dangle a price online to lure the fish in towards the hook, then waste their time with nonsense. They know what they're doing and it's wrong, immoral, unethical, and plain bad business. Sadly, just another sleazy, dishonest used car dealership like many others in Mesa/Tempe. read more

I bought a 2021 Nissan Sentra to find out one of this car speakers was blown and the seat belt light was on. Stayed on and found out there was two bald tires in the back and two nice ones in the front and they wouldn't give me two new tires so they are shady so don't shop here. Warning do not shop here. . Warning Do not shop here!!! read more

Lack of transparency and undisclosed part swaps -- buyer beware!!! This dealer doesn't even deserve 1 star. I purchased a used car from Ideal Cars and later discovered the dealership swapped the tires for significantly older ones (2019 & 2020) on a 2021 model year vehicle.  All 4 tires were different, and for 2 of them, "inside" was showing outside with the tire balancing was not done. They also removed the spare tire and jack kit, along with other original accessories. What's more, the battery died only a couple of months after purchase, despite appearing fine during the test drive. These failures occurred well after purchase, leaving me to suspect additional cost-cutting swaps may have been made. Because this was my first experience with this dealer, I had no way of knowing what had been changed until problems appeared later. A used-car dealership should be transparent about removed or downgraded parts -- especially when they impact safety and long-term ownership cost. I don't know what else was swapped, but the pattern I experienced has made it clear I cannot trust their inspection or preparation standards. For future buyers: Check tire DOT years on tires Confirm spare tire + jack are included Inspect accessories and condition reports Don't assume parts are original or recently serviced I will not be returning to this dealer.  In fact I will tell everyone I know to avoid this dealer and post this message on all social media. read more

I don't live in Az, I called Vince from Ideal Cars from out of state for a truck, i had a mobile mechanic check the car out and paid for it. I talked to Colby as well and talked to him after the mechanic check in the evening of 3/3/2026. He said he would get the paperwork started because I was interested in purchasing the car the next morning. I said ok. Next morning I didn't get a call, so I called in and a lady answered and said they would call me back. I waited for call back and I got a text from them saying that they sold the truck. This is terrible business practices and just ruins any decent used car dealerships name. read more

Bought a 2017 Chevy traverse March 9, broke down May 15. 2 months after I bought it (of course the warranty was already past the time frame), the their service center has had it going on 3 weeks and they can't figure out what's wrong with it after they run a diagnostic test on it (which I have to pay $100 for) Then I come to find out from a service tech that the codes the car had were OLD codes, that tells me they knew the car was problematic and cleared the codes or something. Then they call and tell me they were driving the car to find the issue, and that a tire blew out, so they made me pay for a tire they blew while test driving the car (another $135 I have to pay). Im not recommending anyone I know to go purchase a vehicle there sadly. Horrible first experience read more

Buying my 2020 GMC Sierra here honestly meant more to me than just getting a truck. It was something I had been working toward for a long time. When I pulled up and saw it sitting there, cleaned up and ready, it felt like a milestone. The team didn't treat me like just another deal. They took their time, answered every question, and made sure I felt confident. No pressure. No awkward back-and-forth. Just real conversations and people who genuinely cared that I was getting into the right vehicle. The truck itself was in incredible shape. You could tell they take pride in what they put on their lot. They walked me through the history, made the paperwork simple, and celebrated with me when I drove off. That moment driving home in my Sierra is one I won't forget. It's rare to find a dealership that still believes in doing things the right way and building real relationships. I'm grateful for the experience and will absolutely be back -- and I'll be sending friends and family their way. read more

Bunch of shady people. Wouldn't even talk about vehicle on the phone? Like seriously what kind of meat head doesn't do deals over the phone? Was forced to send someone else down. Charges for all these "reconditioning fees" they didn't recondition anything and now the car has a fuel leak and tpms sensors all on the fritz less that 2 weeks after purchase.. if I didn't work 70 hrs a week I'd personally drive the hour out there and personally loose my boot in these peoples rectums but it's not worth it... they are shady and nothing you can do when you buy from a con artist used dealership.. scumbags of the earth. Next day: took it to a shop, fuel tank is leaking, transmission is leaking, air bag light going on and off, TPMs module has intermittent fault.. and has stored codes for trac and abs they apparently weren't able to delete.. they knew they were selling a lemon and dressed it up as excellent and sold it for that condition ... laws or no laws this dealer needs to own up for their bs Taking advantage of an 18 year old girl is sickening read more

Shout out to the financial manager , Chelsea she got us good. ALWAYS go to her if you feel like you being pressure by your salesman . She can always work something out with you. She's a sweetheart! Don't LISTEN TO SALESMAN SAYING YOU HAVE TO GET THE GUARANTEE YOU DONT. He he really pushing it. Got upset when I told him I wasn't going to put GAP insurance or warranty on my car, he immediately said they're no deal then. Smh go to Chelsea!!!!!! read more

Bought a nice Toyota Tacoma from them with very low miles it was the best price on car gurus so I was surprised with how well the car drove and looked they had be in and out in a short amount of time as well with a very reasonable monthly rate the sales reps were very helpful with any questions I had and the financial dept was quick and helpful I'll be bringing in my daughter when she becomes of age for her first sedan read more

Yes definitely. Come here for an oil change at least once a month. Fast and very responsive. Highly recommend.

The staff was very intimidating and pushy. The price they sold me the car at was not the price they wrote in the paperwork. It was twice that. They did not review the loan documents with me but continued to pressure me to sign. I was not aware of the amount being financed. I had to return to the dealership to demand that they fix several safety issues so the car would be street legal. Windshield wipers not attached to the car, running lights were out. Tires were bald. Timing belt needed adjustment. It has become a major financial failure. I would never return as a buyer to this company. Please don't let this happen to you. They took advantage of a 63 year old woman. read more

DON'T BUY YOUR CAR FROM ANY IDEAL CARS!!!! I bought a BMW and it's been a nightmare from the moment I drove it off the lot!

I've never had a problem with Ideal Cars, every time I call to set an appointment quick and easy.

Worst dealership experience of my life. They weren't prepared for my scheduled test drive, so they made me wait outside in the 112 degree sun for the car to cool down. The "sales guy" didn't know anything about the car, and was so distracted he forgot to call out directions on a busy road. The financing guy was terrible. Disinterested, rude, and would constantly interrupt and talk over me. While waiting for my financing rates to come back (they tried offering me 15%. what a joke), I overheard him pressuring other guests into test driving cars that they had explicitly told him they didn't want to view. Would never, ever come here again. read more

Exactly what you expect from a 2-star dealer. They won't even try to sell you if you know how to not get ripped off. But if you're gullible you'll love them! false advertising, embarrassing customer service, they have it all! read more

This dealer lists a cheaper price then added $3600 in fees to price listed. Without any explanation of the $3000 of "conditioning" added. Ridiculous way to do business. read more

Car dealerships give me anxiety. Van Chevrolet in Scottsdale was the WORST to deal with. But David Torres at the Mesa location of Ideal Cars was so easy to work with and listened to my reasons for bringing the purchase price down. I actually went by the lot with my daughter about a year ago just to look around and he was there- Didn't push anything on us and understood we were just seeing what was in her price point. This is why we went back last week. David and the rest of the staff were friendly and honest. Allowed me to take the car out on my own and get it checked. Solid and affordable. I did a lot of research on the fairest price for the care we bought and it was right there. Best experience I have EVER had at a dealer. In and out in 30 minutes unlike Van Chevrolet who kidnapped me for an entire day when I bought my truck from them is 2020. Yes, I am still sore about that experience and always will. read more

Horrible place to shop for a car. Salesmen was so nice and we loved him. We waited for and hour to get info on the pricing and it basically doubled. they wasted our time with hidden fees and purposefully didn't give us any information on the pricing beforehand. What they advertise is very off and incorrect. The lady we spoke to was telling us about the hidden requirement for an "internet price" that you can only know about if you call for details, but if you are there in person, oh well they won't tell you! read more

Horrible place to buy a car. I lbought one and it had a spare tire when I picked it up they hae removed the spare tire. There finance manager is awful. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE read more

I recently purchased a used vehicle from Ideal Cars and it was In prestige status! The almost perfect vehicle as it wasn't brand new but it had all the feel and look of it being new . The staff was extremely helpful throughout my buying experience and made me feel relaxed without pressure. In total it was a no hassle nor worry experience and I ended up with the exact type of car I've always wanted almost new with very little miles without the price tag of a new car. i was even offered an extended warranty at a low cost. I would buy a car here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them if you're looking to purchace a vehicle anytime soon. Thank you Ideal Cars for a wonderful car buying experience.... I am loving my new car! read more

If you're looking to buy a car, I strongly recommend going to a different dealership. A week ago, I tried to purchase a car at this dealership, but the salesperson immediately judged me and seemed unwilling to show me any vehicles, assuming I couldn't afford one. I genuinely urge you to avoid this dealership due to their poor practices. Instead, I highly recommend Echo Park, specifically asking for Tony. It was the first time in my life that I truly enjoyed the car-buying experience, especially considering the current economic climate. Please stay away from this dealership; the staff is unprofessional, and the place was very unkempt. When I attempted to discuss my concerns with the manager, I felt judged based on my skin color. However, I do want to express my appreciation for the kind front desk staff member who listened to my concerns and understood why I was upset. Ideal Cars is not a good place to buy a vehicle, so if you're in the market for a car, I suggest you go to Echo Park instead. AI overview is ready read more

Only good reviews they get is from the owner's son. This is the place you would go to have Carney type dealings. They will sell you a car that has critical recalls on it and not tell you about it. So do your research If you like a car run VIN number. There moto is a sucker for ever care. This is a place if they have what you want do all research before. I was able to observe first hand. I'm just glad I took time and earned a career and not take the shortcuts through life. If you think about it you going to buy something from somebody who took the shortest road to life and you're supposed to trust them on a car. It was even sell your car without airbags and not tell you. Sad sad place That read more

I hate to add bad reviews but Carl Burke deserves a -10 he is a terrible salesman and does not assist. I bought a car with extended warranty and GAP with $10,000 down, once he had his money he lied and avoided calls now for 4 months. This is not the first car I have ever bought but I guarantee it is the last one from them. I am very disappointed and actually hate doing this but this man is the worse car salesman I have ever ran into...BEWARE only 1 star but should be minus 10 I see lots of 1 stars because you cant go lower read more

Went to the dealership with my daughter to buy her first vehicle and Dean was ridiculously rude. Even from being in the dealership he was curt and seemed barely interested. Asked about discussing the price and was absolutely not having any conversations about. Went home to do some research, called back and he told me we are no haggle its on the website. Continued being rude and after telling him to have a good day he hung up on me. NEVER go to this dealership. read more

Scheduled an appointment three days in advance to see a truck, only to show up and find it wasn't even on the lot. They casually asked if we wanted to just hang around while they went to get it. We declined, and that's when the owner decided to blame us for arriving "too early." Incredibly unprofessional. This place is the absolute bottom of the barrel for dealerships -- disorganized, rude, and not worth your time read more

I only post on yelp when it's beneficial to others.! Please do your research and do not purchase a car from this company. I was taken advantage of and I want to express what happened to me individually but it would take too much time, the car they sold me was a lemon and they knew it because they have a service station which examines the cars when they come into their dealership. The sales person lied to me and told me there was nothing wrong with the vehicle I was purchasing I owned a Kia for 10 years and had no engine problems so I figured this Hyundai Azera limited was a good purchase with low mileage only 79,000 the problem is The vehicle was not taken care of by the prior owner and neglected oil changes which caused a large amount of sludge in the oil pan and got into the engine eventually which I didn't know about until I had to take it into service at Hyundai dealership.. Multiple things wrong with the car.. Everyone's always going to say why didn't you take it into a dealership and have it looked at before purchasing.?.This particular company will not allow you to take the car and have it checked out. You have to purchase it first , they have a service station there and I understood later on this is why they offer you one year free oil changes so that you don't take it too a regular service outfit that can explain the problems with the vehicle and by that time, when you understand it has some issues, it's too late to bring it back. I was back into this office three days after I purchased it I discovered the heater didn't work and they told me to go kick rocks, I signed an agreement it was a used vehicle and you get what you pay for. The car had no heater that worked. It had many issues with the sensors which control the locking security, and also because it was a limited edition it had cruise control sensors which recognize the distance between vehicles, and that also was bad and simply reset so I wouldn't recognize it until after 30 days when it went off line again, which is only $2000 for a new camera but who's counting; by the time I got done at the service station, over $10,000 worth of repairs that need to be done and they couldn't assure me that after that the engine wouldn't seize because of the poor attention given from the previous owner. I called and asked for someone to assist No response from the dealership., I thought legal guidance would help, but under the lemon law, I didn't qualify because it didn't break down yet. this was my experience with what I thought was going to be a semi new vehicle and took over $18,000 out of my savings because I purchased cash nothing you can do after that. I simply lost all that hard earned money on a lemon and this company didn't give a shit. thanks ideal cars for absolutely nothing but depression and heartache. I have all the documentation from Hyundai explicitly told me , They can back up everything regarding the sale of his vehicle, and how the company knew better, and should never have sold it knowing that it had this many issues wrong with it. read more

great service and excellent selection on vehicles. Great pricing on vehicles and food and drinks were provided in the waiting room! read more
