Long overdue review for Ross! He helped me with all the questions I had before purchasing my Audi A3 2015. He also helped me pick out a warranty. He's super nice and even helped me a few months later when I forgot the warranty info. Such a nice Irish lad! :) Would def recommend friends and family to come here! My car was nicely cleaned before taking it home and I feel like I got a decent price on it. Finance was easy and the whole team was great with communication. Thank you for all your help Ross!! read more

I bought 2009 Porsche 911 here, great place why? They inspect their Porsche at Porsche shop before selling the car. Thank you for discount and take car replacements brakes pads too. This car great condition from inside to outside. read more

BEWARE: FALSE ADVERTISING. Absolute scumbags. They are deliberately baiting and switching people that are excited to get specific vehicles. They have the same 2001 Porsche 996 car listed on ebay, cars.com, auto trader and several other sites (see attached photo). I called and made an appointment to see the car and was told they would have the car pulled out and ready. 2 hours later, I drove down to see the car and was told by some kid that works there "Oh yeah sorry that car sold last night". ???? I say "Okay, then why didn't you say that when I called?" I went down there to look at a car that must have been sold a LONG time ago. They wanted to show me other cars- cars I have no interest in because I know what I want- so I refused and left. There is another review by Jean B from 2017 where they used the same exact tactic on her, but convinced her to buy a different vehicle from them- one with mechanical issues they didn't help to solve. They just leave ads up to lure people into their lot- knowing what they're advertising is absolutely false. Like I said, scumbag POS used car dealers attempting to take advantage of people- living up to the reasons people hate them to begin with. read more

Selective Motor Cars - Same car/image is listed on over 5 websites; Autotrader is the only site being transparent. - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Bought a motorcycle through an auction site and from winning the highest bid to the delivery of the unit I must say Timothy was a huge help navigating the transaction. He even went as far as sending a video via text showing how to operate the bike. Top notch salesperson! read more

Selective Motor Cars - 2015 C300 - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

These guys are great! My son and I were shopping for a BMW, and visited a few dealers in the area to see what our options were. We contacted Selective and spoke with Anis. He was very nice, and professional. We dropped in and looked at a tasty 2001 BMW M Roadster. It drove like it was on rails, looked flawless and had very low miles. We had the chance to walk back into their shop and saw a bunch of incredible cars (Lotus, Mercedes AMG, etc.). They had a great selection, and their prices were very reasonable. We ended up buying the beautiful silver M Roadster, and have been enjoying it on mountain roads. Great cars, friendly and professional , great prices... what more do you want? If you are in the market for a nice car - at a great price - I recommend you make this shop one of your first stops. I'm sure you won't be disappointed! Highly Recommended! read more

We got a car from them.. First of all, We found a car online that we liked. After calling and verifying that it was available, we went to look at. When we showed up, they said it was gone. And showed us another car like it.. (within 5 hours ) After buying a car, within 48 hours it had a oil leak. We called & they just said .. go to the mechanic (Really!?) Needless to say, we wouldn't recommend buying a car here. read more

Ali and his team are the greatest ! Got my s2000 here and the whole time we were working out the deal there was no peer pressure or anything and they answered any questions I had . I expressed concerns about the car missing the tool kit in the trunk and they went out of there way to order it and ship it to my house ! Definitely will be coming back for my next car ! read more

Selective Motor Cars - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Let me provide a little back drop before I get into the review, to set the stage. I was in the market for a clean Audi A8. Being somewhat of an Audi enthusiast (My prior A8 was with me for 5 years and before that was an S4 and A6.); I am very particular and detail oriented, so I definitely passed on a few A8s before I came to the one at Selective Motor Cars. I was doing an online search for the car on a Saturday and came by a listing of the A8 around 5p, I called Selective Motor cars and let them know I was headed down to look at the car. I arrived maybe 15min before closing time (5:45p) and absolutely knew it was the one. It was the cleanest A8 based on my search and after glancing at the other cars in the showroom, I knew they hand pick cars based on the collection. I will spare you all the details but I have to say that everyone in the dealership stayed late to accommodate my wife and 3 kids during the car buying process. I know it was a Saturday night and people often make plans with loved ones, but not once did we feel rushed during the process! Sorry guys for keeping you so late, and we can't say thank you enough for a wonderful car buying experience. We absolutely love the car and will most definitely consider bringing our business to you for our next car purchase! Just a quick update; after about a year of purchasing my Audi from Selective Motor Cars, I purchased a 2nd car (Toyota Prius) from Selective! The Prius will be used for my commutes into LA from OC. I had such a great experience with Mario and his Brother; so it was an easy decision to bring my business back to them. Keep it up! Thank you, AJ read more

CURT R. July, 2018 First I would like to commend the staff of Selective Motor Cars on their professionalism and the friendly atmosphere. I had a 2003 E 320 that was unfortunately vandalized and determined to be totaled by my insurance company. In my search to replace my Benz with one that was as clean and pristine as my car, I found one online at Selective Motors. To be brief, I went to to dealership, drove the car, confirmed the details of the history and condition of the car ( they even let my mechanic inspect the car ) and purchased the car. My experience there with Ali and Mario was excellent and very pleasant. I would recommend to anyone in the market for a great used car, go to Selective Motor Cars. read more

Had a great experience when buying a 2013 Challenger from Ali and Mario very professional and respectful...they had a great selection of high end car so call them up if your in the market thanks again guys read more

We bought our son his first car with Selective Motor Cars. Not only were Anis, Mario and Hugo relaxed, sincere, patient, knowledgeable and helpful, but they went above and beyond through the entire process. We look forward to make our future car purchases with Selective Motor Cars and will recommend our experience to family and friends. read more

Only go to this dealer if you want a perfect condition high end car at a very fair price with stellar customer service......Ross helped me buy a used Mercedes with confidence and made the whole experience as comfortable as possible..they keep all cars in an enclosed warehouse and they take great care in selling only excellent condition used cars. Would buy here again...and recommend this dealer to my friends! read more

Ali was very nice, however, the car I wanted to buy (E500 Mercedes) had a broken stereo. We pointed this out and Ali said he could send me a check for $200 to get the radio fixed. Agreed and put it in writing. It is now two months later and I haven't received the check. Two phone messages have not been answered. Today I finally got Ross on the phone and explained that I haven't received my $200. He put me on hold so he could "talk to the manager" and then our phone conversation was cut off. I called back but no one answered, notr have they contacted me. Additionally, after buying the car, I discovered I needed new axles, a transfer case, U joints-basically entire front end for $4000. This place is shady. I would not recommend. read more

I recently bought a 2010 BMW 135i from Selective Motor Cars and I had a great experience. I filled out a credit application on their website and they got me approved for the car that I wanted. When I arrived to test drive the car, it was exactly as advertised. There were no high-pressure sales tactics. The staff was very knowledgeable and honest about the cars' history and condition. The finance staff didn't try to tack on any extra charges to final purchase price or sell me anything extra that I didn't want. The service here is amazing. They paid for my Lyft ride down to their dealership and bought me a set of new floor mats from the dealership. I've had the car for about a week now and I'm very happy with it. There were no surprises once I got the car home. I would definitely recommend this dealership to my friends and family. read more

I was forced into looking for another car since I was involved in a recent accident and my insurance declared my car a total loss. Wasn't getting much from insurance for the total loss so I was on a limited budget. I looked all over; internet, dealers, Autotrader, etc.. I wasn't having much luck finding what I wanted until I came across a car that interested me on Selective Motor Cars site. I sent them an email letting them know I was interested in the car and Ross responded within minutes. He asked me to come down and look at the car when it was convenient for me; no pressure. I was in the area so I went over to look at the car. Ross immediately helped me as soon as I walked through the door. The car was in their side lot behind about 6 other cars. Ross had all the other cars moved right away so I could take it out for a test drive. I immediately liked the car and told him I would take it. I then went to my credit union to secure financing. Ross was very helpful with providing the credit union with the necessary paperwork right away. After obtaining the financing I went back to Selective Motor Cars and completed the paperwork with Mario. Mario was awesome and got me, my wife and my 7 year-old son out of there as soon as possible. While we were waiting for Mario to finish up the paperwork, Ross took me & my son into the back warehouse where they have all of their high-end/exotic cars. My son loved that! I appreciated him doing that to keep my son busy since he had been bored most of the day going from one place to another to look at cars. Ross & Mario, thank you for a painless car-buying experience! I love my 2011 Mazda CX-9! Car is in great shape and very clean! I would recommend Selective Motor Cars when you are in the market for a quality used car. read more

We bought a 2003 Mercedes SL500 with 111k miles. It was a one owner and an extensive Carfax for service records. We bought the car in Feb 2019....to date we have paid over the cost of the car in repairs. We are into the car now for about $16k....the front brakes are out...which should have been checked by Ali before offering the car for sale. In my entire life I have never had such a problem with a vehicle. So much should have been check by them but it was not. Yes...I know,,,car was bought as-is and I know we have no recourse....but these guys knew of some of the problems that existed. I am NOT a hate monger and don't like posting negative reviews,,,but inspect your car by an independent mechanic before buying here. If we had done that we could have saved ourselves thousands$$$$$$$$$$$ of money. Yes, the staff was nice but boy did we get screwed. read more

I bought a 2000 Mercedes SL 500 recently from Selective Motor Cars and have nothing but high marks! The SL was on my car "bucket" list and after research I narrowed down what I was looking for and they had an immaculate, low mileage available. Not onlt was the price reasonable, but they really went above and beyond compared to other used car dealer experiences; I say that because on the day I picked up the car the automatic door/trunk locks stopped working with key fob. Turns out the vacuum pump was failing (older cars are going to have some issues). They offered to buy the pump and sure enough when I found the right part on EBay, they bought it and shipped it to me and I now everything works correctly! The part was not cheap but they kept their promise and came through! Big recommend for anyone looking for good used Mercedes, BMWs, etc... read more

If you are in the market for a cool luxury car, shop here. The owners are truly passionate about the cars they sale. I just purchased my e55 and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service. Thanks guys! read more

Wow! I've been waiting to get a Hyundai Veloster forever and this place had the perfect one. I went in and they were super helpful I mean super and accommodating. Even when they were busy they made sure that everyone was being taken care of. They made the process so easy and quick I definitely left happy. read more

I bought a used Mercedes from this dealership. The customer service was excellent. Ali showed me the car and I dealt with him throughout, great guy and very helpful. The car was repaired up to a satisfactory level and they were honest about some work that may need done in approximately 5 to 10,000 miles. It was a fair price and I bought the car and I'm very happy with it. A breath of fresh air compared to some of the used car dealerships I have dealt with. I would definitely recommend this business read more

Choosing a car at SMC was very easy. Ross was especially helpful. He was quick to respond, friendly, and knowledgeable about the cars. All of the cars on the lot were top quality and in great condition. I felt very comfortable and taken care of by Ross and his associates. I would highly recommend this dealership to others. read more

I've never had an experience so great while buying a car until I came into Selective. Hugo helped me out and kept me open minded because I walked in looking at this great black C250 but it still was lacking some features that I would've wished for. Then parked a few cars behind was sitting this beast looking black GLK350 with 40k miles. In showroom condition. It's definitely a dream and Hugo helped me out through all the process. Zero pressure and was very patient. I highly recommend this dealership if they're looking to go somewhere with no pressure and friendly customer service. Thanks again Hugo read more

I had a great experience at this dealership. It's a small lot with all well-cared-for high end vehicles.

It was a great experience. read more

I had been looking for this rare, very limited production (145 sent to the US) Jaguar for over a year. One with the right mileage & price became available online from Selective Motors in Costa Mesa California. I'm in Rhode Island. I contacted Anis by phone. He answered several questions. At my request, he took the car for an offsite independent pre-purchase inspection I arranged. The inspector indicated it was in near perfect condition, with the exception of a minor transmission leak. The dealer had the leaked fixed. Anis arranged to have the car shipped from California to Rhode Island. It arrived 6 days later. The car was as beautiful as advertised. I was very pleased with the entire process - soup to nuts! read more

Ali was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Selective MC did what they could to make us happy. Pretty simple and straightforward process. We got our 2009 BMW X5 at a fair price and without any issues. Would recommend to anyone and will keep them in mind for future car purchases. read more

First and foremost I sincerely wish to express my appreciation and thanks for the highly professional level of courtesy that was extended to me the minute that I walked through the door of Selective Motor Cars. Anis, Mario, and Ali represent, in my opinion,"The Gold Standard" of customer service/satisfaction."Never" once did I feel pressured at their facility as I was looking at the Porsche 911S Carrera that i was interested in purchasing.Through-out the process of purchase ,I felt perfectly comfortable that I was being treated fairly and honestly.I truly enjoy my Porsche. And being that with the "excellent" professional assistance that was extended to me by Anis and Mario, I know that I will enjoy my car for the duration of ownership. My immediate car needs for the moment are satisfied. However, if I should be in the market for another vehicle Selective Motor Cars will be my "first" visit. I feel very confident in referring Selective Motor Cars to my friends and family. Thanks again to Selective Motor Cars for a very "pleasant" experience in my Porsche 911S Carrera purchase. read more

was able to pick up my first car here and Ross made it super easy to check the car out. he made it super easy to figure out the best financial strategy for my credit and for my pockets. honestly just really good helpful costumer service. Thank you again Ross! read more
