After months of searching for the right 2009 Toyota 4Runner 4x4, I'd looked at several examples and walked away from all of them for one reason or another. Then I found NextCars' listing, and it was worth the drive to find out. I'm based in the Bay Area, so this wasn't a quick trip down the street, but on my way back from picking up my daughter at UC San Diego, I made the detour to Irvine to view the vehicle. I took it for a test drive, and the truck was clean, mechanically tight, and clearly well cared for. Compared to what I'd seen previously, that stood out immediately. Peter himself was a big part of why the deal came together. He's a genuinely nice guy and a gentleman to deal with- he knew the car inside and out, answered every question without hedging, and never once made me feel like I was being worked. I arranged for an independent pre-purchase inspection, standard practice when buying from out of town. The report came back solid, with a few minor items noted, and Peter took care of all of them before the sale- exactly as he said he would. Everything after that was handled over the phone without a hitch. When my husband and daughter flew down to pick up the car, Peter met them at the airport and took care of the whole handoff from there. For a long-distance purchase, that level of care meant a lot. He's clearly selective about what he sells, and the whole experience reflected that. If you're in the market for a well-sourced vehicle and want to deal with someone who actually follows through, I'd recommend Peter at NextCar without hesitation. read more

Next Car - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Irvine, California

Peter is a very professional, polite and a gentleman. We took the car for a test drive on two separate occasions. and then proceeded with a hassle free negotiation. I just bought the car yesterday and I am hoping not to have any issues, but we did negotiate an engine/transmission warranty for 3 months just to be safe. Buying a used car can be a little nerve racking, but Peter made the process comfortable for me and I would absolutely recommend using Next Car for your next car. read more

This guy is a joke and a scammer. He can't keep an appointment he made with me and the wife.. doesn't have car titles. Tried selling me a car with no brake lights. Stear clear. read more

I bought a 1998 landcruiser from this dealership 2 years ago. Car pricing is straight forward and i negotiated my purchase over phone while driving from up north- bluetooth duh- peter is very reasonable and helped me close the deal without haggling. The timing belt and water pump of my car was already changed. It came with new tires, brakes had still lots of milage on them, car seats are restored and in general i got a great USED car. Dont expect a traditional used car dealership like CARmx, cus next car is a small car dealership. They have an office and the parking lot of that bldg is where you see some of the cars for sale. That is how they keep the price lower than other dealerships. It took me 2 years to write this review cus i wanted to make sure there are no delayed issues that i might be facing within that time frame. In years to come when my kids are ready for their first car i will come back to Next Car and buy another car from Pete. read more

Next Car - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Irvine, California

See all

Called for appointment, showed up at scheduled time and no one was there. Let me point out that most of their cars are not at location. I called number and person who answered said I didnt make an actual appointment. Why would I call to make appointment and not schedule a time? Obviously the person who answered did not want to admit he had made a mistake. Very small company running out of a shared business complex. Not the kind of business I want to buy a car from. Have to give one star to write review...this business wasted my time read more

Do not by used cars from this dealership, they are not honest and sell cars with expensive issues that will need to be fixed. I haven't even had the car for a year and it needs countless repair. They take advantage of people that don't know what they are getting into. this place is a scam. Be careful when buying a car. read more

Walked in to look at some listings and the dealer was very rude about me asking for info on the 4runners. I guess he may have been rude to me because I am a younger person and probably didn't take me seriously or because I didn't have an appointment. I was very interested in purchasing the vehicle but he will not be receiving any business from me. read more

The purchase process was easy but the car had significant mechanical problems that appeared immediately after purchase. The warranty covered most of the head gasket replacement but I was on the hook for thousands of more dollars in repairs over several months. It was easily the worst experience in decades of buying used cars. Won't return. Ever. read more

Responsive and very professional. They let me take the car for 3 hrs to get a pre purchase inspection. The whole process was smooth and quick, did not have any issues. Will recommend to others. Remember to always do a prepurchase inspection from a reputable mechanic before purchasing any used car. read more

I just bought a Lexus NX h.I am very pleased with the Next Car services and results. Peter is an expert, supportive, professional, patient and so experienced sales person. I worked with him and he advised on the taking the right steps prior getting the loan and good time based on your situation, I couldn't have had any better experience . His work is outstanding, if you need help or advice he's always available and will guide you in the right directions and always informative. I highly recommend him. read more

We had a very pleasant experience purchasing our new vehicle at Next Car. Peter helped us find the right car for our needs, budget and taste. The best part of it is that at Next Car, you would not need to go through the hassle of negotiating with an agent and a sales manager as in other dealerships. We strongly recommend this dealership for used car purchase. read more

I had been looking for a used 4Runner and discovered this dealer had quite a few in inventory. I made an appointment with Peter and was done with all the paperwork and driving the car off the lot in about 2 hours. Peter took care to explain all the functions of the car and was also very thorough with the paperwork. read more

Purchased a 2002 Sequoia that had the engine Light come on 20 miles later. Had to spend thousands on replacing the complete Evap system and replace the passenger catalytic converter that was not a part for this car. Ultimately this vehicle would have never passed smog to be sold to me in this condition plus Nextcar had to of reset the codes for the engine light to not be on. Smog certificate that came with bill of sale was false. read more

Great people and great business. They were so nice and helpful specialy Mr. Peter, I got my GsS 350 from them. Thank you guys and thank you Next Car. read more

Went down to Next Car early in my search to test drive a car. Although I didn't end up buying the car my experience was positive enough for me to want to give these guys a much deserved positive review. Communication was great and there was none of the "car dealership pressure" I was dreading. Thank you Peter and I'm sorry it didn't work. read more

I spent three weeks researching used cars hoping to find a one-owner Lexus ES300 with low miles at a fair price (I wanted a good car, but didn't want to pay CarMax prices...) I finally found one that seemed like the real deal at Next Car in Irvine. I drove out from Palm Springs hopeful that the car they had listed would be as good as it seemed, but I was completely expecting it to be a wasted trip - I had driven to Van Nuys the week before for a car that turned out to be sketchy at best. When I walked around it I was stunned that it was in absolutely pristine condition and the moment I turned over the engine I knew this was my car! It was every bit as clean as it's description! I'm not an impulsive person, but I bought it immediately after driving it, though I did pay $150 extra for a 48 hour return warranty so I could have my mechanic look at it. I kept my fingers crossed while it was at the shop being evaluated, but my mechanic was very impressed with the quality of the car. The rear brakes needed to be planed, but that was it. The CarFax indicated that the previous owner was as OCD about maintenance as they were about the interior and exterior - this was the perfect car for me at an excellent price. I'd never buy a used car from a dealer who didn't provide CarFax reports and offer a 48 return warranty (though they were fine with me taking it to a mechanic near them - I wanted my guy in Palm Springs to look at it.) Peter was terrific and very low-key, no pressure. Everything about the transaction was easy and stress-free... I've only purchased a few used cars in my life, but this was definitely the best used car experience I've had! read more

No-pressure didn't feel rushed, Trustworthy, They listened to me, Quick and painless -- the dealership made the process was, Quick and clear communication, No games, Final price was exactly as negotiated (no last-minute surprises, and Professional and polite salesperson. Thank you guys, NEXTCAR, you make my life easy. read more

Honestly the most uncomfortable possible experience viewing the car. Was interested in purchasing a third generation 4runner and came in with the expectation of buying the car same day. Peter was so unbelievably rude, unprofessional, and condescending when answering my questions about the carfax, mileage, maintenance reports, etc. I don't know if he didn't take me seriously as a woman viewing the car by myself but I ended up going to Autohub in Anaheim and had a great experience there with a much kinder salesperson and left with a better deal on a great car. read more

Fantastic experience from this little dealership! Traded in my car and bought a Toyota Tacoma from Peter. He was very friendly and honest. Not pushy and was able to help me by dropping the price of the truck by almost $800. I got the registration in the mail in less than 2 weeks. 10/10 Would recommend. read more

Unprofessional guy. This guy doesn't know how to talk a customer. First time coming here and he gave me an attitude just because I didn't have an appointment. Didn't know it was an one man dealer. Just walked in to check out their cars but never mind. He will not get any business. Learn customer service skills. read more

Peter was great! He gave me a great deal on a Toyota 4 Runner and my mechanic says everything checks out. The buying process was quick and Easy and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality used Car. read more

This little used car dealer is a great find! They pick-off local new car dealer fresh trades to resale. Only have a small and quick selling inventory. No price games! One internet price, which is usually fair. My wife and I was searching for a IMPOSSIBLE to find older Toyota Highlander with low miles and perfect condition! You could look for a year and not find one. Next Car sold me a 65k LIKE NEW 05 Highlander limited for $9500! The price is not cheap, but the car is a like new cream puff! love it! read more

I bought a Lexus RX from this place. The car has not have me any issues for the past few years. I got the car much lower than kbb

Wow, Do not buy from this place!!!! I talked with Peter who was a very nice guy but sneaky as well. I test drove a vehicle and it was great so I wanted it. After signing all the paperwork and the car was mine, we walked to the vehicle and he then proceeded to tell me the car needs a shock replace. I just stood there in absolute shock knowing this is not a minor issue. He then told me he had a shop and the shock was all paid for and ready for me. The next day I go to the shop and the owner proceeds to tell me he has no idea what I'm talking about. He contacts Peter whom tells him to test drive the car and figure out what was wrong. He brings up a random part he needs to replace but I live 7 hours away and couldn't wait. I get home and bring it to my trusted mechanic only to find out FIVE things are wrong with the car and a HUGE price tag to fix!!! I contacted Peter and he said he would give me a call that I never received. I 100% do not recommend buying from this place. Peter if you are reading this, you have my number and I'm still waiting for you to do the right thing. read more

The place, and the person in charge Peter, at first all seemed nice, heck! The cars they sell are all impeccable and nice presented for the customer. My actual issue is this: I was shopping for a truck back in December, I found some nice ones, they had "still do" some nice Lexus LX 470 trucks from which I wanted to buy one. I went, check one of the trucks, and all seemed fine. I told the guy I was getting a loan from my loaner bank, he was OK and he even updated on the website the truck was sale pending the following day. He gave me a P.O. and all I was pre-approved, and early in the afternoon, my bank tells me they wouldn't loan for a car older than 2010 and with over 100K miles on the clock. The guy told my wife cause I was busy working, he had another truck, a newer LX 460 2012 Lexus, that would qualify with my loaner, we accepted the offer, asked my boss to let me go early for the deal, I went to the bank, they gave me the paperwork and all needed to close the deal, I talked over the phone with the seller and told him I was on my way to get the truck, to my unpleasant surprise, after half my way to the dealer before they would close, the seller calls and out of the blue says the truck was "just sold". I just cannot find decency or honor on a person you are closing a deal with and all of a sudden they change their mind to it. I don't know for how long that truck was offered for sale, but honest people just don't do that to you. He had all to do the deal with us, and mysteriously someone else showed up with the money. I cannot tell if they judged me for my looks or race, but felt like I wasn't worth my buy. Not a good place to buy if you don't look rich or white I guess...Fortunately ended up buying a truck from a trustful dealership in Cerritos with Toyota certification, and saved me the hassle of buying from someone not trustworthy. read more

I bought a 2001 Tacoma from Next car Peter helped me and was honest and showed great character when buying pre owned cars it can be difficult as a woman going to look cars that are not already on a car lot. Made appointment to see the truck Peter answer all questions and I had a mechanic check the car out at a 2nd appointment. All went very well and bought the truck. I would recommend Next car Peter was great easy car buying Thank you. read more

We purchased a 2000 Subaru Outback from Next Car and it was a great experience. Peter T is very patient, responsive and available. He allowed us to take the vehicle on an extensive test drive to really get a feel for the vehicle. The price was very competitive, the condition of the vehicle very good and he even replaced the front windshield at no cost to us as it had 2 chips. I'd definitely recommend Next Car to anyone looking for a used vehicle. read more

I recently purchased a car from Next Car. Everything was so smooth and without a problem. They are knowledgeable about cars and very responsive through the process and do a great service. They find you a car that you want in a timely manner and reasonable price. I felt safe and happy using the car. read more

I purchased a used vehicle from Peter. It was one of the best car buying experiences I've had. It was a ten year old vehicle and I was so pleased with the in and out condition of the car. He made the price work for me and was patient and courteous. He even ordered a part for me after I purchased the car and called and said I noticed an issue. He corrected it immediately. I'd highly recommend him - it can be a little scary buying a used car. I think he has pride in his vehicles and wants to create win win situations. read more
