    Cute ^_^

    Tim was a really sweet guy. He let me finance my Miata with half down payment of the price. I honestly love my little car. Its a 15 yr old car so i exepected it to have some few down problems but at the end im happy to have my miata. Thank you !

    Just bought my 2014 Hyundai Veloster from Tim at Del Mar. I had originally went to Los Angeles to buy a similar car that had been sold before I reached. I was determined to get a car and called Del Mar to check out the Hyundai, that they had lowered the price on. Tim was quick getting me all the info I needed, we negotiated over the phone. He gave me an amazing price that was too good to be true. I told him I'd be there soon and he stayed open for me. I test drove the car and loved it instantly. Within 45 minutes I was out the door. He told me he would look for the spare key and call me, he called within 10mins. Unfortunately, on the way home my battery died when I went to the gas station BUT Tim apologized and explained the car had been sitting for a while and that he's make it right. ( I bought my car cash so I wasn't expecting him to do much at all, honestly) but Tim went above and beyond and purchased my battery over the phone at O'Reilly'a and made sure I was sure i was squared away! My car is amazing and feels brand new. He was honest about me needing an oil change, honest about the price and did not haggle me. I can't believe he bought me a battery. Much appreciated. Highly recommend!!! Here's pics of my new baby which he had washed and clean for me.

    Our new car thanks to Del Mar Auto!
    Just Cozy ..

    My husband and I recently purchased a 2003 sonoma from Del Mar Auto, and we couldn't be more satisfied with our purchase! Tim was polite and professional and willing to work with us! We got a great deal on a great one owner car with low mileage. All the cars on this lot are well maintained and beautifully detailed. We will definitely be a repeat customer. He also has a wide range of vehicles to choose from! Tim was very accommodating before the purchase as well waiting after hours on the lot for us just to come and look at the car on mother's day! Overall we could not be happier with the service we received here, and would recommend Del Mar Auto to anyone looking to purchase a used car in excellent condition at a great price!

    See all

    The car needed an oxygen sensor which wasn't covered under the warranty but Tim took care of the bill anyways.

    This is for the car buying experience. When me and my Wife came here to Culver City Honda, we did…read moreso for the special APR of 1.49% for the two 2024 CRV EX-L that they had. We did qualify for it which we figured we would. With the 8 total CRV's we were looking at between multiple dealerships, the two at Culver City Honda were the best deals. They both had the lowest miles 9k and 13k and the best price on top of the special APR we got. Our sales associate Geovany Oliva was super chill and listen to what we wanted. We told Geovany we had other CRV's we were going to look at but stopped at Culver City Honda 1st. During the whole process, there wasn't any kind of trying to get us to buy this or that, no pressure what so ever. The team knew what we wanted and made the deal happen. Part of this was with the new auto group (Ken Garff auto group) that took over the dealership. They wanted to make the buying experience easier for the customer. This was by far the best buying experience i have ever had. They took my Trade in 2016 Chevy Malibu and I got a total of 1500 for that lemon. With everything I added including my 9 year warranty, I was out the door just about 42k with my 2024 CRV EX-L. This CRV drives really nice, me and my wife are really happy with it. I definitely will come back here if I am looking to buy another car, but hopefully I'm good on that for a while tho lol. The only down side for some will be the Plad Tech which automatically gets put on the car. Plad Tech is like low jack. It's $1000.00 added to your contract, so keep that in mind. Personally tho, I wanted something like this anyways with how often Honda's are stolen and I love the app Plad Tech has. I wanted to get something like this for my Civic so I know where it is at all times, especially if it got stolen. Other then that, it was a long day but we definitely came out happy with what we got. 2024 CRV EX-L with only 13,473 miles on it, practically a new vehicle, plus a 9 year warranty. With Honda's quality and reputation, this CRV should last for a long time. Give Geovany a call, he's got you!

    Unfortunately, I've had nothing but poor experiences at this dealership over the course of a…read moredecade. First off, it's dated, dirty, and dingy on the inside. Culver City has grown a lot over the years, but the dealership feels left behind. Upon my first visit years ago, I asked to see an Accord, and was shown Civic after Civic after Civic, with the salesman pressuring me to test drive one. I kept telling him a Civic was too small for me, and it took him showing me three Civics to finally show me an Accord, at which point he lost interest in helping me. Years later (just a few months ago) I was in a lemon of a vehicle of another brand, so I came in looking for help rolling over into a new lease. With my negative equity, the payments were far too high (with the payments exceeding another Honda dealer by a few hundred dollars for the same exact car with the same negative equity). When I expressed this and told them I'd have to do what I could do make up the negative equity first, one of the managers came over and told me I should buy the vehicle then do a voluntary repossession then get into a new vehicle at the price I wanted to help cancel out the negative equity. That alone is enough to make me not trust these guys. Unfortunately, I won't be back.

    A shrine to the era when cars had soul and gas was 49 cents…read more Where else can you wander onto a car lot in the middle of Los Angeles and be greeted not by beige crossovers, but by chrome dreams, tail fins, and a little bit of gasoline perfume? Dennis Buys Classic Cars isn't just a dealership -- it's a time machine parked on Venice Boulevard. You'll see a rotating cast of American icons lined up like they're waiting for a casting call: Mustangs, Chevelles, GTOs, the occasional Corvette looking smug in the corner. I stopped in to take a peek at a Camaro, but it was already gone -- proof that around here, blink once and history drives off without you. Still, the staff were friendly, the lot spotless, and every car looked like it had just rolled out of a 1970s postcard. Venice Boulevard has been part of L.A.'s motoring heartbeat since the early days of the Route 66 era, when every block had a garage or gas station and every mechanic thought he was tuning a car for Steve McQueen. Dennis keeps that spirit alive -- no gimmicks, no soulless SUVs, just old-school machines with character, grease, and stories baked into the metal. Dennis Buys Classic Cars is pure Los Angeles gold -- a dealership that feels more like a museum you can actually drive home from. The Camaro slipped away this time, but that's okay. I'll be back... because places like this remind you why you fell in love with cars in the first place. You don't test-drive here, you time-travel.

    Wish I could give -5 stars. This place is a shitshow…read more I bought a 77 Bug in April 2025. 3 Weeks later I had to pay $2100 for a new transmission. Dennis' response was "sorry, but we can't check the cars." That was just start of problems. Turns out, both the horn and the windshield wipers didn't work. It's a state law that they work but that didn't stop them from selling the car. I guess rules don't matter to them. To their credit, they did fix the problem but it took 6 months. I live in Ventura County. They are in Culver City. It's 1.5 hours one way. It took me 6 trips to finally get everything fixed. That's 3 hours plus the time I waited while they didn't fix the problem. Dennis told me "I'll take care of it for you. I'll get you some compensation." Well, Dennis figured that my 30 hours of time and gas was worth - wait for it - $100. Deduct the $70 in gas that I paid and Dennis thought $1 an hour was worth my time. But wait, there's more. I never got the money. They said the "check is in the mail." That was over a month ago. Do yourself a favor and find a classic car somewhere else.

She was warm, helpful, and never once tried to push me toward anything. I told her I wanted to come in Friday and asked if they could hold the car. She said yes, no deposit required. That alone told me a lot about how these people operate. When I got there, the boss was around too -- relaxed, straightforward, no pressure. The young guy who took me on the test drive was great -- you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. That kind of enthusiasm is rare, and it made the whole experience easy. And at the front desk, I was greeted by a young lady whose name -- I promise I am not making this up -- is Jennifer Lopez. Lol. I bought a 2021 Tesla Model Y. When I got home and ran the numbers myself, I was off from their figures by three dollars. Three. No hidden fees, no surprise add-ons -- just taxes and DMV, exactly as discussed. They also buy and sell used vehicles, electric cars especially, so whether you're buying or selling it's worth giving them a call. Couldn't be happier with the experience. Would absolutely go back and would recommend them to anyone tired of the usual dealership runaround. Thank you to Jess, to the boss, to the test drive guy, and to Jennifer Lopez -- you're all great.
