I LOVE LAPIN MOTORS! I couldn't write a script for a more smooth and seamless car buying experience. Lapin Motors is the only place I will ever buy a car again. Joël and Trystyn were a superb team from start to finish. Upon arrival, Joël's focus was us but in a way the waiter at a five star restaurant checks on you. He quickly moved the car we wanted to test drive out of the garage, gave my husband and I the keys and told us to take our time. Once we decided we wanted to purchase the car, it took less than 90 minutes to complete the purchase. Joël even told us to take the car to lunch while we waited for financing and paperwork. Trystyn, the finance manager, was personable, professional and incredibly transparent; giving us sound guidance if needed. He made us feel like it was a partnership. He is efficient, effective and an absolute pleasure to work with I have two sons who need cars in the next 9-12 months and I will not go anywhere other than Lapin. Joël, Trystyn and the Lapin Motors team, thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for showing me a car buying experience doesn't have to be painful but, the opposite, can be quite an enjoyable Saturday afternoon. I look forward to buying from you again in the very near future!

I have purchased five vehicles from Lapin Motor Co. Why? These guys make you feel like you are enjoying an experience as opposed to the pressure of buying a car! The focus is upon you the client and the service is exceptional. I will keep going back. Here is my latest Honda type R. If you want something special - visit Lapin Motor Co!

2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins diesel

I wanted to wait a while to post this before we went gung-ho and just talked about the experience; because you're not paying for the experience to buy the car.. you're buying the car. You have a lot of choices these days on who/where you can buy your car from, so let's dive into why I thought Lapin was a good choice for anybody. My brother in law purchased a Subaru from Lapin about a year prior to us buying our vehicle. I never had heard where he bought it from, only that he was happy with the car and experience. We arrived to look at a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins Diesel. The staff was extremely friendly and transparent and allowed us to go over the truck with a fine toothed comb on my own time. They could tell I knew a thing or two about these trucks (I've owned 9) and tossed me the keys and said we'll be over here if/when you needed us. After looking it over we had decided this was in the running, but we had other trucks to look at. Upon telling Joel this, he insisted we took their truck to go look at the other trucks to compare and he even sent one of their employees to fill the truck with diesel. He didn't have to do that at all, but the transparency and trust this instilled in me resonated the whole drive to the next dealership. We ended coming back close to closing, we were treated fairly, with the utmost respect, negotiated our price, Joel even AGAIN went above and beyond with the down required for the sale as we hadn't brought enough. Fast forward to now, 14 months later, the truck has been a joy. There were a few maintenance items we did not for see but that's out of anybody's control. With some fresh wheel bearings and a water pump on her and a new set of tires... for the price and experience I say Lapin knocked it out of the park with their sales experience. 10/10 I will always consider Lapin for our next purchase and will always continue to recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you Joel and the Lapin motors team!

Came here Saturday due to needing my studs/lugs checked out. Was able to use the online system to…read moreschedule a same day appointment and went in within an hour. Prior to scheduling I called and no one was available but they had a texting system. I left a voicemail prior to the text coming in and they answered my question about pricing before I booked the appointment. It was very convenient. When I got to the dealership, Matt the advisor got me in. Although he did not see my appointment I made online he still got me in for a walk in no problem. I did make the appointment an hour before arriving, so wondering if that's why my appointment did not show up in the system. Regardless it was nice he got me in still. Service: 5/3/26 they took my car and did an inspection of my tires and found that I had multiple studs/lugs that needed replaced. It took about 1.5 hrs for the inspectio and I was on my way. The process was easy and I scheduled my appointment for the following week to come back for full service of replacement. Service: 5/5/26 took my car in and everything went smooth. Gave me an estimate of how much cost may be and came out even lower than estimate which was a win. During the wait they send you a video of multipoint inspection and what was done. Very helpful, because they also recommend what should be fixed or flag you wants needs done now. I really like that tool from the waiting room I just responded if I wanted to take care of the issue then or decline it. The whole process was smooth and Matt was great. I will definitely be back. Thanks!

The future of car sales by handling everything online is so much more convenient which carvava is proving as effective tools to the old model of in person car sales and financing.

In short: My advice if you buy from Toyota of Gladstone: check every number, compare everything to…read moreyour original quote, and make sure your deposit is actually credited! Long version: Buying a car is always daunting, and unfortunately my experience buying a 2026 Camry from Toyota of Gladstone reinforced why. I initially inquired about a used Camry but switched to a new 2026 model. The salesperson sent me a link to the exact car I wanted, and I put down a $1,000 deposit while waiting for it to arrive. The deposit paperwork referenced the wrong vehicle, but I was told not to worry--it had been applied to the correct car. The salesperson was sweet, friendly, and never pressured me, which I appreciated. But once I decided to buy, the process became incredibly confusing. I was presented with multiple versions of paperwork with different numbers. The MSRP was wrong. The Toyota-offer price was wrong. The salesperson went back and forth to someone else easily a dozen times trying to get the paperwork corrected. I eventually started taking pictures of the purchase agreements and comparing them to my original quote myself because I couldn't keep track of what was changing. I eventually made it home with the new car...but woke up in the middle of the night realizing they had never applied my $1,000 deposit to the purchase agreement. I contacted the salesperson the next morning and was simply told it would be refunded in 3-5 days. No apology. Had I not caught the mistake myself, it's clear I would have overpaid by $1,000. Overall, the salesperson was low-pressure and responsive, but the paperwork and purchase process were sloppy, confusing, and riddled with errors. Also, I was promised to get copies of everything I signed, but wasn't provided with them at the end of the day. After three hours of confusion and frustration, I was exhausted and just wanted to leave. As I was leaving, they reminded me, "Don't forget to give us a five-star review!" After spending three hours sorting through incorrect and changing paperwork--and then discovering the next morning that my $1,000 deposit hadn't even been applied to the purchase--I have to admit, that request aged pretty poorly.

So you may…read morebe asking yourself what am I doing at a used car lot on Portland's notorious for used car lots 82nd Avenue. So, there was this lady out driving around on February 1, 2023, and she wasn't paying attention to my car going through the intersection and I couldn't avoid her. I'll spare you all her drama and hysterics. End result, this particularly unpleasant lady's negligence resulted in my car being totaled. After what I thought was an appropriate mourning period, I felt ready to welcome another Ford Escape back into my life. Finding right one was a tiresome process. Some didn't match their profile photo, and that was just a deal breaker. I wanted to have my dads blessing when I thought I found one I could be happy with. He inspected the profile and agreed. So yesterday afternoon we drove to Barron's Auto Sales and Details. It was pretty much love at first sight. My soon to be 2010 Ford Escape was just sitting there all golden and gleaming in the sunshine peeking through the clouds. We got the keys and me and my dad took it for a little test drive. I felt right at home sitting behind the wheel. My dead was impressed with the way it drove. We both agreed I should buy it. My finances were limited as I haven't been paid for my beloved 06. We went into the office and met Hugo Lara and discussed a price we were both happy with. I'm almost embarrassed to admit this but I've never bought a car on my own. Ive always used my own money but my dad has always been there and I'm so grateful for that. So I thought I was going into this with pre approval. Nope. So I'm also grateful for Mr. Lara for giving me a brief education on how pre approval works and his efforts to secure an auto loan for me with a reasonable monthly payment and interest rate. Thank you Hugo Lara for making a used car purchase a pleasant experience. 2023 Review-#5

And most importantly, WITHOUT trying to "sell" us. There was no haggling or tricks and they were completely forthcoming with the vehicles history condition etc. On a street of endless used-car dealerships and desperate salespeople, Barrons seriously stood out among the lame competition. And welcomed us as a young couple without looking to take advantage. With help from Sushi and Theresa they were urgent in addressing a few minors such as tire pressure and alignment before purchasing, and we were able to get my wife a reliable and new car that makes me honestly jealous...

Mitch is fantastic. No, wait, Mitch is ALL CAPS FANTASTIC…read more He is personable, kind, honest, and sincere. He is also funny and cool; as one of the other reviewers said, you'd like to have a beer with him. You can work with Mitch in two ways. One: he might happen to have the perfect car for you sitting in his lot already. If so, lucky you! He only sells cars that are in great shape, often managing to find what I call "car unicorns" (one-owner cars with great maintenance records from states without road salt or flooding). Two: if Mitch doesn't happen to have the right car for you, you can use him as a sort of "car sommelier." He'll help you figure out what kinds of cars you might like (which was super helpful for me), steer you away from bad years or bad models, and then, when you know what you want, he'll source you a great car. When the car arrives in PDX, he'll take it to a reputable mechanic to make sure it's in tip top shape. We were definitely going to use Mitch to source a car for us, but, alas, we unexpectedly found our own extremely rare "unicorn" at a different dealer. But I will absolutely use Mitch's services when it's time to replace our next car. In fact, I am looking forward to it. Shocking! Thanks, Mitch. You rock.

My husband first spoke with Ray, who he felt he had an immediate connection with and easy, flowing communication about our vehicular needs. But Ray was going on vacay, and we couldn't wait until he got back to complete our car buying experience with him. Enter, Roy - Ray's bro. Roy was AWESOME. He took the time to REALLY answer my questions in a way that I could understand, and didn't try to push cars on me that were out of my price range. He was an excellent listener and ended up bringing out a car that day to our house for my hubby and me to test drive. Let me pause for a moment to say just how smart this business model is - I mean, with 2 kids under 4 years old, it's a PITA to get to a dealership and take turns test driving a car and then waiting around for hours to purchase the car while the kids go cray cray. Central Sales is part of Ron Tonkin (I think...), so they have a huge inventory of cars to pull from, which they bring to you to test drive, and then they arrange all the financing for you to find the lowest APR, and then bring the paperwork to you when they deliver the car. It takes about 10 minutes to sign everything. All for no extra fee. Brilliant. Other dealerships should take note. But what made everything so super was the truly no-pressure attitude of Roy (and I imagine everyone else he works with). He was super nice and completely understanding when I told him that we were also test-driving a car from another dealership later that day. He reiterated that he just wanted to make sure that we got into the right car for us. And I believed him! We ended up doing the whole take-the-kids-to-the-dealership-and-wait-an-excrutiatingly-long-time-to-purchase-a-vehicle thing. But only because the vehicle that was there was the one we wanted in the end. But we will DEFINITELY use Central Sales again when it's time to buy a car. Thanks Roy!

My daughter needed a car and I found one online at this place…read more We drove an hour and a half to check the car out. The salesman we had was super friendly. He found the car we were interested in and we took it for a test drive. It seemed to be perfect and decided to get it. Unfortunately, it took 3+ hours just to get through the paperwork. We negotiated the price, shook hands and signed on the X. Once he came back with the paperwork, he also came back with a mechanical disclosure. He proceeded to tell us all the problems with the car. The sway bars and bushings needed to be replaced. The water pump may have issues since thier mechanics noticed water spots around the water pump. What? We are spending over 16k for a car and NOW they disclose the problems? The salesman told us they just started doing things differently now. Well..that doesn't seem fair. We agreed on a price. I signed papers. We couldn't back out now. Rush hour was hitting and I wanted to get home ASAP. We ended up getting the car anyway and drove home. The car drove home fine. However, we have yet to fix the problems. Very disappointed with that process.

Except the first time I met her in a PNW downpour the windshield wiper flapped uselessly like a limp handshake. Replacing the wipers was contractual. Basic safety. A correction to meet the State's prim-and-proper dress code. Still met with a laissez-faire attitude. When I picked her up, her glasses were still broken. I took the fix into my own hands--parts shop on the way home, a couple of tenners, a little elbow grease, done. Next up, the key fob. The emergency key was missing, the kind of detail that only matters when it matters. I brought it up, like an old lover who still believes a wrong turn should end with a nightcap and an apology. Instead, it turned from good cop to bad cop faster than a red carpet turns into a doormat. Then Murphy made a house call. The battery went low. She wouldn't let me in, like a partner who caught me gambling with the rent money. I used my one free call to get a locksmith to bail me out. Time and money burned on something promised on the first date. Next the check engine light blinked into life like it couldn't wait to hand me a bill and a lecture. Still loyal, I went back to them instead of the brand shop off the two one seven. One tip slipped across the bar after another. Reassurance she was safe to take out on the town without having to constantly look over my shoulder. It was just a false trail that kept circling back to the same code I heard on the scanner from day one. I was being led on a wild goose chase and suspected I was the stuffing. After months of silence and no new leads I picked up the phone to reopen the case, like a jilted ex dialing a number I know I shouldn't. The witnesses had "left." The records were "tied up." I was told the specifics about the prior investigation were withheld for "legal reasons." It read like the old standards had left the building, and she'd taken her charm with her. Trusting my first instinct, I took the old girl to the brand shop, the place that spoke her native tongue. They handed me the facts. No passing the buck. No song and dance. Workmanship you could hang your hat on. I'd finally gotten the full meal deal, but I'd lost my wallet in the process. I figured I'd give Freeman one last chance to make things right. I'd played this scene before, back when deals were clean and handshakes meant something. Back then, I had a number in my head and they hit it like a sharpshooter. This time it was a slow middle school dance on a wet gym floor, and every step felt wrong. The numbers didn't add up, even the Kelly Blue Boys gave me the kind of look you save for a three-card monte table. Sure, I could take a bruising, but I hadn't signed up to get rolled. The relationship ended with a love letter that read like a case file, our entire history laid out in black and white, followed by a reply that never came. Freeman was a name I'd trusted since I was a rookie twenty years back, the door I knocked on when I wanted a fair and honest deal, the place I sent friends, family, and associates. Somewhere along the way, it seemed they traded the Freeman name for the Saul Goodman Sunday Special. In this town, some places sell you a promise the way a magician sells you a trick. You watch the shine. You miss the move. I gave them every chance to play it straight, but instead I got a different story each time, ended up with the bills, and found myself alone in the rain without an umbrella. Ragged, like a mark who realized the gig too late, I closed the file, because sometimes that's the only win you get. Take a walk. Don't look back. The rain will wash the footprints away.
