The guys at Java were really helpful, and made a good deal without a lot of haggling back and forth. There was no pressure to buy a vehicle, or to purchase expensive (and unnecessary) add-ons afterwards. Best of all, the products they sell are solid. We bought a truck from them, and it was rated highly by a mechanic who looked over it, and said that it had been well cared for and that there weren't any hidden flaws. They make the Carfax for vehicles on their lot readily available, and on their website you can find the VIN number if you want to take a look at Autocheck (like Carfax but more complete) before you go down. All in all, I would give my experience with Java a 10 of 10. read more

Nothing but good things to say about Java Auto. Bought an Audi here a while back, and the process was very smooth. Friendly staff at the dealership, and good selection of cars at reasonable prices! read more

RUSTY CARS! worst experience ever! do not purchase a vehicle from Java Auto. They sold me a truck with too much RUST! My mechanic just showed me the Rust. My truck doesn't worth much money now. When I called them, they told me you purchased the truck as is and they can't do anything for me They buy their cars from New York and Maryland, and they spray them with black paint to hide the RUST! Check the CARFAX and you will see Take the car to your mechanic for inspection before buying. read more

I just purchased a 2013 Toyota Corolla from Java, and it was actually a pleasant car-buying experience. They had a wide selection of used cars and several appealing choices in my price range ($15,000). The vehicles all seemed fairly priced and in good shape, most with brand new tires and other upgrades. The staff was polite and friendly but not pushy while I looked around, ultimately offering suggestions that helped me make a decision I feel good about: buying a car that's fun to drive, looks good and fits my needs as a daily commuter. read more

Java Auto Sale - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I would be very careful doing business here. Make sure you get the car carefully inspected. We purchased a car here and after negotiating with a representative, he cut a deal with us to throw in a spare tire (since one tire was already worn). The spare he gave us does not even fit the car and the original four tires do not match- now we are dealing with the consequences. read more

My wife was 9months pregnant when we went in to buy our Toyota Highlander. It was a decent deal (around $10,000). Well, it's been in the shop several times in the last 7 months and we were told it needed a new motor. After spending $1000 on a guy who said he could fix it without a new motor, the thing finally crapped out completely. After taking the motor out, we found that the radiator fan had melted and the catalytic convertors were bad. The mech told us that the car dealership had masked the problem to sell the thing. So, after another $10,000 (that we don't have) it will hopefully be running fine. Please, please, please don't buy from there people!! They would not help us when we called about the motor and now we are going to be hurting for a long time because of this huge expense. It's pretty sickening that they would do this to a couple expecting their first baby. (She was born the day we looked at the truck.) read more

We had a great experience purchasing a car for our new driving teenager. I was able to find out all the information about the car through my bank (USAA), which have us details and even an free car fax report. After driving and checking out vehicle in person we made the decision to buy. The friendly and knowledgeable sales representative made the whole process quick and easy, could not have been more pleased with transaction. Thank you. read more

Our family spent about three months looking for a car for our daughter. After visiting many other independent and "chain" used car dealerships, we found the car at Java. The car appeared to be in very good condition, and we were able to get it at a fair price. It was a very good buying experience, with no pressure. It has now been about three months and, aside from a minor annoyance of a missing manufacturer's manual, there have been no unexpected issues that have popped up. The car has had no problems after putting about 3K miles. At this point, I will visit Java again when I need another used car. I will post more, should anything extraordinary occur. As always, used car buyers need to do the requisite research so we know the price range, the Carfax history, the basic things to look for when buying a used car, and a local mechanic to check it out before buying. Java had the right car, we got a fair deal, and the buying experience was very pleasant. And, most importantly, the car continues to run very nicely. read more

Brought a 2012 Mini Cooper from Java auto 3/18/2021...Today is 3/31/2021 the car has literally fell apart since day 1 the first night I brought it home it was pouring rain and the bumper flew off on 40. No big deal my fiancé was behind me in her SUV (barely missed her car) as she witnessed it and has video of the "detachment" got home zipped tied the bumper back on and let the car sit as I was supposed to take it in for service that next Sunday to repair "check engine light" that's right I brought a car with check engine light on? Dummy!!! I ended up testing positive for Covid and could not make appointment. Due to the excitement and the freedom of being Covid free a week and a half later I went to start up my nice "new to me" Mini Cooper with the zip tied bumper. You guessed it "click click" would not start what a shame! Got home after work stuck the key in clicking everywhere dash fuses etc. but it started drove around the neighborhood and noticed oil burning smell. Woooow wait there's more... I get a buddy to check under the hood and do scan that revealed multiple faults including CAS module which explains the not starting. Quote from dealer wait for it.... $1200 not to mention needs new brakes rotors and ball joints. Thanks Java for making my dream of owning a Mini Cooper become a nightmare. Words of advice never buy car without getting it checked at a dealership regardless of reputation of dealership. They claim there was no known issues when they sold the car but the check engine light was on when I brought it. Lol if I were you I'd stick to dealerships don't make the same "side car lot mistake" I made RUN!!! read more

I wish buying a car could always be as upfront and easy as this. I researched cars on USAA's site, found the car I was looking for (the price was significantly below "Great Price). The owner and I reviewed the carfax reports, I test drove it (he gave me money for gas) and got it checked out. He even washed it for me. It was a great experience and I highly recommend these guys. read more

We identified a car online that was the model we were interested in and within our budget being sold by Java Auto, so we headed over there. The first two gentlemen we dealt with were helpful and friendly. We asked if we could take the car to our mechanic if we liked it on the test drive and after some discussion about the amount of time we were allowed (2 hours), we were on our way. We didn't notice anything specifically concerning on the drive, so we took it to our mechanic (who IS within their 15 mile radius rule). He had it for 10 minutes and came back in and said not to buy it, it was covered in rust on the underneath (car was originally from MA) and also had issues starting up (when we took it for the drive, the gentleman at Java brought it round for us after adding gas, so we didn't actually get a chance to start it ourselves). We shoot the shit for a while with the mechanic about car options in our search. None of this is why they get one star - buyer beware and all that. We drove some other crappy cars that day and I'm not giving those places a poor review. No, the reason for this review comes next. So, we take the car back, with 30 minutes to spare on our time limit (We had til 4:15, returned at 3:45). We went in to drop off the keys and were met by a third person we haven't seen before, a tall younger guy with a strong brow ridge - stay away from this guy! We give him the keys and say that our mechanic gave it a no-go due to rust, but thanks for letting us see it. He became belligerently rude with me, stating that we "owed him a reason, we took his $12,000 car for two hours and he deserves to know why we didn't want it, that we seemed like we were just trying to drop off the keys and run off and he didn't appreciate that." I told him again that our mechanic said no and thats why we didn't want it. He then repeats the same thing over again, rudely, adding that he wanted to know what the mechanic said was wrong with it, that we owe him that. At first we were just shocked and confused about his manner, but at this point I was getting angry. My WTF voice started creeping in and I said "I TOLD you why, our mechanic said the underside is covered in rust..." Then the guy starts in AGAIN with the same thing!! I was about to lose it with this guy when my husband stepped in saying, "Listen man, we're not interested, we told you why, and that's it." Then the guy dropped it. Sexist. Did this guy seriously think that being a dick would help him sell a car? Well, rude car guy, it won't. It WILL get you a bad review on Yelp though. Don't go here. As far as my sample goes, a third of their employees are dicks. read more

I usually wait to post a review on any site that I have posted reviews on so that the glow wears off and the review is based on an objective clear eyed evaluation of the experience. So, I paid for an independent car pre-purchase inspection for the car I purchased from Java Auto Sale. I had three cars inspected at two used car dealerships before I had the car (fourth inspection) I purchased from Java Auto Sale inspected. So, the first three cars at the other two dealerships, well, let's just say, were not good. They had done some "tricky" things to the cars to make them look better than they were was my take-a-way. So, I moved onto Java Auto Sale, hoping that I would not be disappointed as well. So, my inspector calls me back with the inspection report for the 2010 Honda Insight I purchased, and is pretty much breathless with excitement. The car checked out phenomenally. Okay, so, I bought it. Now, I wait, because only time will tell it is a "phenomenal" car. I bought the car right at the end of April 2016. So, basically, 14 1/2 months later, two things have become clear. Java Auto Sale has good customer service, based on the other things they took care of associated with the sale, know how to choose cars in my opinion for resale, and weren't shy at "strutting their stuff" to an independent inspector coming on their lot and checking out the car I purchased. I have had ZERO issues with the car I purchased from them over the last 14 1/2 months. I had ZERO issues with the sale and after sale contacts I made with Java Auto Sale. Bottom line, all positive. Now, here is the interesting thing. A month ago, apparently we ran over something in the road, it made a terrible grinding noise, and I was so worried I had the car towed. Now, the mechanic looked at the car over two days, could find nothing, and it became clear we just ran over something. But as part of his inspection he took things on and off, and looked over the car very detailed. Everything looked "really good" he said and when he said it what he meant was wow, car looks great and there is absolutely nothing that needs fixing, adjustment, replacement, etc. So, when I replace my second car (and I live in Fayetteville) the first stop will be Java Auto Sale to see what they have available and start my pre-purchase inspection there and probably end it there. I am extremely satisfied. Oh yes, what did I pay? I will say it was less than the Blue Book, so there was not any price manipulation going on, and it was definitely more than an extremely fair price for what time has shown. read more
