Mangione Motors - 2013 E350 Sport - Car Dealers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Wow, this guy is the total definition of A used car salesman. He is A walking bulls!@# artist. His game is so sloppy and unprofessional. He bullies you with lies and insults. I did not want to tell him my car collection was larger than all of his inventory. I really do not know why anyone would waste anytime here. Stick with the big guys, at least you know what you are getting. Dr Jekyll/Mr. Hyde was truly a funny experience. Now you know!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Can't really go wrong with a family friend but definitely had a good experience. Worked with me on purchasing my car and also re-buying my vehicle small place with nice vehicles I would definitely recommend. read more

If you want the most relaxed, no pressure experience in getting a car then you need to go see Bob. Went there last Thursday Jan 14, looked at a 2013 Lexus IS250, test drove, signed paper works and took the car home. All that happened within an hour. It was the most bizarre but awesome thing! Thank you Bob! read more

Mangione Motors - The deal of all deals! - Car Dealers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I have had the pleasure of buying and selling multiple vehicles through Bob and he has made each experience second to none. There is no one I would go to before him for my automobile needs. He goes above and beyond to find what you're looking for, and will always work with you in a reasonable way. Not sure what happened to Mr. "car collector" with the one star, but the experience he claims to have had seems very hard to imagine considering my multiple positive experiences with Mangione motors. Bob is a great guy, go see him. read more

Absolutely hands down the most memorable stress free enjoyable car buying experience of my life. Bob is in a class of his own. Nicest car guy you will ever meet. If you miss the "old school way of business on a hand shake" come see him. If he doesn't have what you want in his warehouse - no it is not a car lot - just so you know... I was surprised myself when I went there - Bob can get you whatever car you are looking for. Just ask. Granted I bought a Tesla from him :) which in itself was a DREAM :)))) but seriously he just let my hubby and I get in and test drive the car - no questions or ID needed!? It was such a refreshing experience that I wanted to buy a car from him. Hubby and I were like: "is this guy serious". He told me to go ahead and take it on the interstate and I have never felt so at ease to truly test drive a car the way I did at his place. I test drove two cars total and both were immaculate. If you are buying pre owned this is the place to go. As I mentioned before it was the most enjoyable car purchase experience from beginning to end. The Yelp reviews were 100% on point. He is a man of his word - I am coming here in the future for ALL of our car buying needs. Thanks Bob you are the best! Shadi & Lucas :) read more

Bob provided me the most professional experience I've ever had at a dealership. Going to an actual dealership is almost like pulling teeth. Bob set me up in a way that I have never been treated before and allowed me the opportunity to purchase a car that I had been looking for for months. It was only with his help that I was able to get this accomplished and I am so thankful for it. I would highly recommend Bob Mangione as a car dealer. read more

Wow! Bob was absolutely the best. By far the easiest most enjoyable car buying experience of my life. No pressure, no overselling no hassle. Love my Chevy 2500 Diesel Truck!!!! I will buy all of my cars from Bob in the future. read more

I regret buying from this man ! I bought a 2012 Scion iQ about a year ago from him. I bought it with an air pressure light on... I was told it would take off once I put air in tires... I did that never took off. So I went back to BOB, told him this light wouldn't take off so his conclusion was that it didn't have sensors on the wheels and so on... he supposedly buys the "sensors" and has one of his friends install them. (Here I am driving around everywhere to get this damn light off) So I go to where his friends are located have them do the work. TOOK ABOUT 2 days !!!! When I went back the light was off !! THENNNNNN..... on my way back home ! (40 min drive !) the fu***** light turns back on !!! Can you imagine how pissed I was !!!! Called BOB again... and this time he didn't want to believe me he was fighting me that he had nothing to do with that light that it was something I was doing for it to go off! I couldn't believe this man.... Here I am a year later and guess what ..... 2 more freaking lights are on !!!! I can't with this man.. worst first car buying experience ever !!!!! If I could go back I would !!!! read more

Mangione Motors - What Scion iQ looks like ... - Car Dealers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Bob is one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable car guys I have met up-to-date... Not only is personable and easy going, he makes you feel like you're buying a car from a family member. No shadiness, no haggling... After researching many many trucks I purchased a 2014 Chevy Silverado from him today and could not be happier. Not only is a good friend of mine buying her Audi from him in the next week or so, my mom is also going to be buying a Mercedes from him in the next month or two... As a business owner myself I know the importance of making your customer feel at home, bob is the man. I shopped around a lot and I got a great deal here, almost $3000 below Kelly blue book without all the upgrades. My truck is in perfect condition.... couldnt be happier! read more

Just bought a Mercedes from Bob @Mangione motors. The process couldn't be easier and Bob is a straight shooter. He's a quality guy and sells quality cars at their true market value not super inflated like some of these car dealers. Next time I'm in the market for a new or used vehicle I'll definitely check out Bob @ Mangione motors first. read more

Impressive is the word that comes to mind. Bob isn't the stereotypical car salesman. Not even close. He's an extremely cordial guy (but not the phony "I wanna sell you something" type) with a passion for cars. It's a small dealership. so when Bob adds inventory, he's very selective and you can bet it's quality. This isn't to say he's overpriced, either. I bought a 2016 Ford F 150 SuperCrew XLT with 26,000 miles, and he was well under TrueCar and CarGurus prices. No junk fees added, didn't even try. Base price, taxes and licensing. State required fees. That was it. Another reviewer mentioned it was the most stress-free car buying experience they'd ever had. I can confirm that. If all car dealers were like Bob, the reputation of the industry would immediately redeem itself. Oh, and ask him about the vintage Corvettes he has and he'll show and tell you pieces of history. A bonus treat. read more

I didn't purchase a car from Bob (Robert, the owner) at Mangione Motors because he is not nearly as "easy going" as he claimed in his Cars.com description. In fact, he was quite like every other car salesman I've encountered: inconsiderate, condescending, and overly-pushy. Here's my story. I was interested in a 2003 Mazda Protege5 that Bob was selling. All the photos on Cars.com looked great. The entire car looked like it was a clean professionally-refurbished one. Well, that's what it looked like, and that's not what it ended up being, but we'll get to that. I submitted a request to speak with someone from Mangione Motors, also asking if the timing belt had been replaced. The next day, Bob gave me a call. He told me a bit about the car and asked if I wanted to come see it. I then told him I had a max budget of $5,000 excluding taxes. He said -- and this is very important to the story -- that would be acceptable as he "just wants to get rid of it since it doesn't fit my high-end dealership". Sounded good to me. I then re-asked him the main question: "Has the timing belt maintenance been performed?" He said no because it's a chain, based off some nonsense about the valve positioning. I told him he was wrong, but agreed to come look at it the next day anyway. So, the next morning I received an email from Bob. He said, "I will do some research tomorrow to find out if it has been changed and give you a call. If it is determined that it is due for a belt, I will be glad to have a new one installed at my cost. Feel free to call me with any other questions you might have." I told him to let me know when the diagnosis was finished. A full day later, I emailed Bob again, asking what the car's status was. He said, "It's at the shop waiting for their call". At 5 p.m. that day, he responded again confirming my concern: "we are having the timing belt replaced they will have it done by noon." I then made arrangements to test drive it at 1:30 p.m. the next day. When I arrived near the dealer around 1:10 p.m. the next day, I called Bob. He said it was still at the shop and I was free to check it out while they did the job. I went by, gave the car a quick look, and called him back to ask him to call me when it got back to his place. In the meantime, I chatted with the mechanic about Bob and the car. He was a German auto specialist who seemed overly-chill. He went on about how good a guy Bob was. Icing. So, at 3:30 p.m., Bob gave me a call. It was time to check the car out and give it a drive. I drove to his small garage-based dealership, he gave me the keys, and I took it out. The thing drove well -- very well. But there was a concern: it had a large scratch on the back left fender. A very major one, at that. It even dented part of the bumper. Now, on to pricing. Bob thought it proper that, despite saying before he would do the timing belt at his own cost, he would charge me $400 for it. That brought the price to $5,400, which he considered "a really great deal". I disagreed, since we had settled on an even $5,000 earlier. But then it got worse. The significant scratch on the side of the car and left and right of the front bumper depleted its value, as well as making me question the so-called integrity of this dealer. He refused to come down in price because, as he claimed, he just put money into it getting the timing belt fixed up. I reminded him of his previous words and he blew them off with a flimsy excuse. After much discussion and two hours of negotiation, we concluded that he would have the car seen to by his "body shop guy". (He gave this fellow a call and he never answered, but he assured me he'd call me when everything was in order.) I haven't heard from him. I'm very disappointed with Bob and his alleged laid-back atmosphere. I would not recommend anyone buy a car here; I don't care if it's a Porsche or John Cooper's personal car (a hard-to-believe story he told while we contemplated things). Go somewhere else and don't waste your time. read more

Today was the day I purchased my Hyundai Tuscon limited vehicle. Seriously the best car buying experience so far. Bob (owner to my right) was the sweetest and honest dealer. I walked away with a great car that didn't break my bank. Alex (far right) is Bob's right hand man! He detailed my car till it shined! Best dealer hands down! If I could rate this 6 stars I would. Come see Bob if you want a great car at a great price ! read more

Mangione Motors - Bob Mangione (owner) and Vehicle detailing specialist Alejandro (far right ) - Car Dealers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

At first look I was not sure what to expect as it wasn't a small corner car lot dealer selling a bunch of used cars. That's what I was expecting. It was a large car garage with over 10 classic cars, and amongst all those beautiful cars was the one I was buying. The car was in great shape and drove just as nice as it looked. The whole buying process and over all experience was no pressure sales and no rush to get the deal done. My best buying experience ever in over 40 years... Thanks, Bob.. VR. read more

I've been looking at bmws for 7 month, finally found what I was looking for, in my price range, here. Bob was very quick with emailing back. Bob was able to address all of my concerns. read more

I have bought and sold a few cars from mangione motors over the years and haven't had an issue. My most recent was a Ford Ranger. Bob has always taken care of me and the friends I refer. I dont understand the other reviews, used cars are a used car and they don't come with a crystal ball but I know I've never had an issue and would recommend him and mangione motors to anyone looking for anything from daily transport to a collector/luxury car to buying assistance for a friends new prius. Thanks bob. read more

My husband and I just purchased a Used car from Magione Motors and we are completely satisfied. We were looking for a reliable used car and found a Honda CR-V through Cars.com. Bob was so wonderful to work with and made the process so simple for both of us. We really wanted to have the option to take our potential new car to our mechanic before purchasing; Bob had no problem with this (something that seemed impossible with any other used car we looked at) and put us at ease with purchasing the CR-V. Overall, we couldn't be happier purchasing from Magione Motors and would definitely refer any family or friends if they are in the market for a used car. read more

I recently helped my girlfriend buy a car from Bob, and we are very happy customers. I really enjoyed working with Bob. You get the sense that he is just a car lover who enjoys finding cool cars for his customers. Basically the opposite of your typical used car buying experience... in a good way. His warehouse is tucked away off of the street. He doesn't have a ton of cars there, but the ones he has are either cool and unique classics or the slightly used luxury vehicles that we were there to look at. He was very friendly and knowledgeable throughout the process. We had a couple of minor issues with the car we were looking at, and Bob went above and beyond to fix all of them and bring the car into really great shape. Since he is a smaller operation, we were able to get a much better deal than we would have gotten elsewhere. Not only that, he gave us the contact info for a good mechanic that is cheaper than the one we've been going to in the past. I'd highly recommend giving Bob a call. He says he can get any kind of car. I know I'll be contacting him when I'm ready to buy my next car. read more

I recently bought a 2012 Mini Cooper from Mangione Motors. Through Bob, I got exactly the car I wanted at exactly the price ($500 lower in fact) that I had budgeted. Bob made the transaction efficient and painless and he was a pleasure to do business with. He is not your typical car dealer with the usual lot and showroom where you feel your are being swindled at every turn. Rather, he's just a down to earth guy who puts your satisfaction before his own business needs, and for that reason I would wholeheartedly do business with him in the future, as well as refer others. Thanks Bob! read more

If there were 6stars, Bob the owner would get it! The best and easiest car buying experience I have ever had. Bob had such a great personality and easy going sales attitude. I will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

I saw a BMW 6 series on Car Gurus that was super clean and was being sold at Mangione Motors. The listing information was extensive and I was able to determine based on that, that this was a car I wanted to purchase. I called Bob Mangione and in less than ten minutes he and I had worked out a deal to trade my earlier model BMW 645ci, for this 2012 650. Dealing with Bob was a pleasure from start to finish, he held the car for me for a week, and then I drove up to Costa Mesa from San Diego and we handled all the paperwork smoothly. I was back on the road to San Diego in less than an hour. If you want a great car buying experience, call Bob Mangione. As the other reviews indicate, he is just a great guy and btw, the new car is perfect. FIVE STAR EXERIENCE! read more

My parents and I recently just bought a used 2012 Jetta S from Bob and to say we are completely satisfied is an understatement. Not only was the process easy and fast, he made all of us feel comfortable and at ease. My parents recently had a very bad experience with certain dealerships on acquiring a car for my sister, so they were a little hesitant to go all the way back to Costa Mesa (where their experience with another dealership happened) and Bob made them feel at ease, answered every question my father had asked and when it came to negotiating, he did not became a rude salesperson like most salesperson are. Thank you so much Bob for the way you treated us, my parents thanks to you, want to only deal with businesses that you have and not go buy another car from a dealership again! read more

We were looking for a truck to tow our 5th wheel, but also wanted something with comfort. We saw the vehicle we had been looking for on Bob's web site. He was easy to talk with, always kept in touch as we decided and did the deal over phone and email. Drove down from San Jose area. When we showed up, the truck was beautiful and there were no surprises. He honored the deal even though he had multiple calls for the truck (2 calls while were were signing paperwork!) We would definitely do business with him again and have already recommended him to a friend. Thanks Bob. read more

Bob Mangione was great to work with - super knowledgeable and fair in his pricing. We made our car purchase at Mangione Motors and could not be happier. Our family will definitely be working with him again when it's time to buy our next car! read more

Turns out the car i purchased from Mangione Motors had some horrific issues. I noticed that the brakes were not very good and the engine light was light up the first time i drove the car. Bob assured me that the mechanics would be able to fix any small issue and get the engine light off. After about an hour and $50 later the engine light was magically off but the brakes were the same. I have had this car for barely two months and i have been to three mechanics..........The timing belt needs to be replaced ($1100). Both the right and left motor mounts ($1240) , the transmount, and the CV Joints and the axles ($500). I took my car back to Bob and he told me he could fix all of this for me and that i would only have to pay a small amount. Three days later and after a 4 hour drive to his location and back I got the bill. They fixed the front motor mount, rear motor mount and brakes... No one said anything about these components needing to be fixed. All i needed was a car to get to where i work 10 minutes away. Now I have been going to the mechanic every week since May and riding my bike to work. I am 24 years old and spent most of my savings on this car. Thanks for your help Mangione Motors. read more

Absolutely great experience here at Mangione Motors. Bob had a great selection of low mileage vehicles and in excellent condition. But the best part of it all is the fact that he had what I've been looking for for a very long time. A beautiful 2006 C55 ///AMG with low mileage and at an unbeatable price. I can't thank you enough Bob for pleasantly attending me and my family. You made a dream come true. read more

I bought a car from Bob. It was a Prius, so naturally, I was concerned about the mechanical condition. He allowed me to have it inspected and gave me a GREAT price. He is a very experienced car expert and since buying the car have called him with questions etc... He has always went out of his way to help. BTW: The Prius now has 250K miles on it & has basically paid for itself. Thank Bob! read more

If you are looking for a vehicle, then this is the place! Bob is not just friendly, he is very cordial. If you want top grade vehicles at fair prices, this is the place to be. He informs, educates, takes the trouble to demonstrate each control and throws in a lot of good humor and patience during all of it. Going to the shop was an exciting experience in itself. You see a variety of top-grade vehicles. The Toyota Tacoma truck we got for our son was exceptionally clean. I would recommend this place without reservations. read more

I purchased a 2003 z71 Silverado from Bob the owner. I have to say this experience with Bob was the best experience ever at a dealer. I was well taken care of every step of the way. No haggle no gimmicks. Quick and easy transaction. Bob is a stand up guy, really cares about his customers. Straight forward and honest. Thanks Bob Felix read more

Definitely not your average used car dealer. My wife and I were looking for a Jeep Wrangler to tow behind our motor-home and new ones were way too expensive, so I searched used and found what looked like a very clean one through car gurus @ Mangione Motors. I called Bob on Saturday and made an appointment for us to look at the vehicle on Monday. His description of the Jeep on car gurus said that we would not be disappointed, and that was the case. This Jeep was like new, as clean as brand new ones we had looked at, and even has a "new car smell". Bob was very patient and gracious as my wife (who is slightly disabled) and I made sure that she could enter and exit without too much difficulty and allowed us to take an extended test drive to be sure that the ride was acceptable for her. Once we made up our mind, Bob and CW had the paper work done in about 15 minutes. The only issues were the fact that the Jeep only had one key fob, and that we couldn't take it home because my wife can no longer drive, but Bob resolved both problems by providing / programming an extra key fob and then delivering the Jeep to our home 50+ miles from Costa Mesa.This experience changed my whole perception of used car dealers / salesmen, if I'm ever in the market for another vehicle, I know who to call! read more
