I recently purchased a white 2022 Kia EV6 (82k miles) from Southern California Preowned, and it was hands down the best experience I had during my entire car search. We actually picked the car up the same morning we got off our cruise ship. Since we had friends with us and a long drive back to Arizona ahead of us, I was worried about a long wait. However, the team made the pickup process incredibly fast and easy. The paperwork was handled efficiently, and the wait was very short. Highlights of the experience: The Car: It was exactly as advertised--clean and in great condition. They even made sure to include the Level 1 wall charging cord and the V2L adapter, which I really appreciated. The Team: Everyone was incredibly friendly. Kevin was great to work with over the phone leading up to the sale, and Ruben did an excellent job getting the car prepped and ready for the road. The Logistics: While they stayed firm on the price ($17,938.25), they were very helpful with the out-of-state logistics. They provided a one-day trip pass so I could drive back to AZ and handle the taxes and registration locally. I'm currently waiting on the title, which they've communicated should arrive by next Friday. If you're looking for a transparent, friendly, and efficient car-buying process, I highly recommend these guys! read more

I was trying to buy an older car here but when I tried to negotiate a fair price with them the guy named Robert called me a beggar and I can't be a chooser... and thought he could wait for me to bring him more money. Sorry "brother" but that insult was uncalled for and I took my cash elsewhere. I think I like the premium trim hatchback I bought better anyways, thanks for driving me away Robert, (and manager). read more

I recently purchased a 2023 Tesla Model 3 at the advertised price. While the dealership initially tried to include $3,000-$4,000 in add-ons, we eventually negotiated that down to about $1,500. I'm thrilled with the car--it's in mint condition with only 32,000 miles. They have a great selection of Teslas on the lot, and I'd happily return for my next purchase because I felt the deal was fair for both sides. If you're looking for a used Tesla, I'd definitely give George a call. read more

*****SCAM ALERT***** I spoke with 2 different sales people 3 times about the exact pricing of a car before flying in and driving an hour only to find out once there that they add $4,000 to the advertised and agreed upon price of the car for BS add on. When you call them on it they only add a $2,000 dealer fee. *****DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE ***** read more

Southern California Preowned - Scam Alert - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Stanton, California

I have so much to say about Southern California Preowned. I have so much to say about this company. Before making any decisions, I did a lot of research online and spoke with several people who reached out to help. But when I messaged Charlie, something just felt right--like I wasn't talking to a salesperson, but someone I already knew. It felt like home. As a woman with no prior experience buying a car, I was honestly nervous. I was afraid I'd be taken advantage of or pushed into the most expensive option--sadly, that does happen. But Charlie made me feel completely at ease. He was incredibly patient, answered all my questions, and never pressured me into anything. He simply said, "Call us when you're ready." And when I was ready, I went in--and the experience was amazing. I was greeted like a friend coming over for a visit. Charlie, the manager, and everyone at the dealership were kind, respectful, and warm. Always smiling, always welcoming. I ended up buying a 2018 Mini Cooper, and I truly believe it's the best decision I've ever made. read more

Vinny and all the other guys were awesome! Got a great deal on this 2022 Toyota Corolla LE with pretty low mileage. They sold it for the exact price that was listed on truecar.com. I appreciate how straightforward and honest they are compared to so many dealerships I've been to. The car is in good condition. I wanted to make sure it was ok, so I hired someone from Lemon Squad to inspect it and they were absolutely open to working together for that. Once I confirmed the car looked good, they gave it a wash and even put a new battery in! Vinny really took care of us and the process was smooth and hassle-free. I'm loving the car, Thanks again! read more

It's been over a month since I first walked into SCP, and I can now fully appreciate what they offer: great used cars. You don't go to SCP to get the cheapest used car. You go to SCP to get an 8 year old Tesla Model X that looks like new. And you'll get great customer service. I bought my Model X "as is", but was delighted when SCP took care of fixing my front passenger power window, after I had already driven away. Mario and Andrew in sales offer excellent service. But of course, SCP is a business. And buying a car always requires negotiating. SCP is no different. Be ready to negotiate, and be ready to go over the details. Buyers have their interests, and dealers have theirs. Buyers should act accordingly. Again: you don't go to SCP to get cheap used cars. You go to SCP to get immaculate used cars. read more

I had a great experience with both Vinny and Hector! Very professional, polite, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I wasn't even 100% positive that I'd be buying a vehicle from this location, I was only going to look. If it weren't for Vinny I may have walked away and weighed my options, but his demeanor helped to seal the deal read more

I wanted to pop back on here and update my review for Southern California Preowned. I've had my 2014 Scion FR-S for 2 and a half years now, and it has been a truly wonderful car with absolutely no issues mechanically or otherwise (besides peeling clear coat on the roof, but that's a Toyota problem). I just wanted to thank Southern California Preowned again for such a wonderful experience. I'm usually hesitant to recommend car dealerships, but I recommend these guys to everyone and anyone I know looking for a new-to-them car. read more

I've been looking for a Tesla model S for some time now. I tried a few places (one in west covina and another in el monte) both experiences were bad and unwelcoming. Especially the one in el monte. Felt like the salesmen didnt car about selling a car.. well I happen to come around 2 cars i was intrested in, and luckily they wer both at this location. I arrived with no appointment and was helped by Charlie. Me and Charlie hit it off right away. His personality and great attitude made the whole experience feel like a breeze. Was nothing but constant jokes and story telling with Charlie. It made the buying process feel so much faster since he was so interesting and helpful. Glad I got lucky enough to meet a great guy like Charlie. Definitely recommend this dealership and if you do happen to go, make sure you ask for Charlie read more

My wife and I recently purchased a Model X here. We had a great experience at this dealership and highly recommend them. The salesman, Charlie, did a fantastic job. He didn't pressure us, was friendly, open and honest throughout the process, and was highly knowledgeable about the vehicle. Having searched for a car at several dealerships we had, by far, the best experience here. read more

Walked in, asked to see the car. A 2016 Mercedes C450 RED. As soon as we're in, not even greeted. A not even a "Hi, Hello, how can we help You today?" Only Asked "Do you have an appointment" We stated "no we do not but we do know which car we came to look at". We go over to look at the car. We did go over the CARFAX. as the car has a previous front end "MINOR" Accident. It seemed more than minor. Going up to the car, you see bad orange peel, overspray on the front of the hood as an attempt to do a blend from the bumper to hood for the color match since the bumper was either repaired, replaced (which I doubt) and repainted. FISH EYE ALL OVER THE BUMPER, a clear sign of contamination in the paint refinish of the car (since the front bumper was repainted), SUPER STRONG smoker smell, even then WE STILL made an offer. We spoke to the gentleman at the back left of the show room. He didn't even get up to shake our hands for gods sake. Very unprofessional view on that. We did state that WE ARE READY TO PURCHASE, pre approved with our bank. As soon as we stated our offer, ( We offered $20k out the door. The cars price online is $20k), he rudely stated and told us to go buy a car at the auction. For lords sake THAT MERCEDES LOOKED LIKE IT WAS PAINTED IN THE BACK BUILDING OF AN AUCTION. Overall bad experience. Unprofessional and Rude. I never make time to make reviews but for this mediocre of a dealer. I was forced to. Never had such a bad experience, ever. read more

Updated Review: I originally thought it was a good deal based on where I was looking for and upgrade based on my credit but be wary and get a mechanic to inspect any of their vehicles. I purchased this car at 56000 miles and had to replace the clutch within 4 months and less than 4000 miles added. I called in and the dealer rep let me know that's a wear and tear as they "they do not know" my driving habits so I paid the repair to avoid fuss. $2100 to fix. At 67000 miles the engine blew and cost $10000 to repair all the damage and their extended warranty service went above and beyond to avoid paying anything and look for any reason to void your contract. So I ended up dishing out 7000 for those repairs, again the dealer reps proceed to tell me there's nothing they can do. Now at 76000 miles the springs and steering parts are needed at the cost of an additional 3000 dollars because they suspect this car was abused and/or crashed by the prior owner along with after market parts that were not disclosed when purchasing. This car is valued at 9000 and the repairs up to date are over 15000 not including the monthly payment or insurance. All under 20k miles and a little over 2 years since owning this vehicle. Everyone looking to purchase a car from this dealer be wary and take a mechanic for and inspection so you don't end up in a worse situation economically. read more

We scheduled an appointment for 1:30pm to see two cars. Mind you, Vinny had already confirmed that the cars we wanted to see was available. Sent us pictures the same day of the appointment. We get there and an associate helped us to go look for it on the lot. The cars were not there! Another associate was being the messenger saying that the cars went to auction. We drove for hours in traffic with a scheduled appointment. No communication what's so ever. They didn't even care that they wasted a customer's time. You confirmed the same day that it was there and then upon arrival you say the car is no longer there. Also, Vinny was the one who took the cars to get auctioned that same day! How does this make any sense. Please avoid. No accountability. Wish I got the name associate that told us the news because his customer service was lacking. Victor seemed cool. read more

I purchased an Audi Q7 at Southern California Preowned and had the pleasure of working with Charlie who greeted me with such enthusiasm. This was the first time in several years that I'd purchased a new/newer vehicle, and the process was smooth and painless thanks them.

My fiance and I had the pleasure of working with Charlie to purchase a vehicle. We walked in without an appointment and he greeted us with such professionalism and kindness. He was very transparent with the pricing and tried his best to offer us a great deal. We also wanted to trade in our car and also made the process smooth for that. Our overall experience was very pleasant and felt like we not only walked out with a new car, but a new friend as well. We recommend working with Charlie 100%! read more

Over a month ago, I arranged to buy a car on line and through emails and texts. Sent them $7000 cash by wire, followed up with lender's check for the balance by Express Mail. They thought the check was a fraud (it wasn't), but did not call me to discuss. They did not even try to deposit until I called and yelled a lot a week later. Finally they deposited check, but did not follow up. It of course cleared, which they verified another week later when I called. Promised to arrange shipping within 2-3 days. Instead I got a call from Hector saying they needed ink signatures on some documents, promised to send them FedEx. Five days later, no documents, no car, and no contact from them, but they are still holding over $22,000 of my money. I called again today, no response. It has been over a month since I agreed to buy the car. read more

1-Star Review I bought a Tesla Model X from this dealership just 4 days ago, and it's already been a nightmare. The vehicle was advertised as having Full Self-Driving capabilities -- a big reason I made the purchase -- but that was completely false. After speaking with Tesla directly, I found out I would have to pay separately to activate that feature. This was a misleading and dishonest sale. To make matters worse, the main center monitor glitches and shuts off even while driving, which is a serious safety hazard. The passenger seat also makes a loud squeaking noise when adjusting -- Tesla confirmed it needs a new motor. I called and spoke to the manager, Hector, who said he would return my call. It's been 4 days, I've called every day, and now he's ignoring my calls entirely -- even going as far as blocking me from his personal number. I've been nothing but respectful to him and his staff, yet now they're being rude and unprofessional. They treat you well until the sale is complete, then you're left on your own. To top it all off, I recently discovered that the vehicles they sell come from auctions. Had I known that upfront, I would've walked away. Do not go to this dealership if you want to avoid a major headache -- or in my case, buying a faulty vehicle read more

Vinny made the experience much less stressful! they also have a great selection of cars/ very clean.

Got my minivan from here. Charlie and Arliss were both amazing to work with. The whole buying process was very smooth. The finance person even got my interest rate 3% lower than quoted. One tail light had a slight crack, after purchase, they swap the part for me after a week. The review about high accessories charges are incorrect because much of it goes to warranties to buy peace of mind when owning a pre-owned vehicle. read more

Well, everyone told me not to trust car dealerships, but I made a mistake trusting those people buying the Acura after I watched the video on their website and reading all the cool things about it. It was advertised for $13,500. They ended up with $18.200. They said they had some fancy upgrades they did on the car... The guy delivered the car (as they promised, for free, just the tip), and I gave him a check for more than 18 K (they didn't give me a penny discount for paying cash). So, I don't know what fancy upgrades they did (and in the video, the car really looked like new), but it even arrived a nasty dirty belt, small cracks on the windshield that spread after a couple rides, and not even 1 car mat inside! Then I noticed some stuff hanging from under the car in 2 places. The splash shield was torn. Good grief, what fancy updates did they charge me for? When I went to the mechanic, they said I had to change the whole thing because it was too big and already cut and fixed sloppily, so it wasn't me. It was expensive. I called the dealership, the person who sold me the car, and... No one was ever available or returned my call. When I left the message that I was calling the last time, the manager finally called me. He said to go evaluate and let him know how much it would be. Anyway, we decided to fix it ourselves as Orange is a long drive from us and we didn't want to deal with them. Than a goose chase about car mats started! Again, no calls back, saying that they have them in the back, promised to mail them. The car should have Acura mats, and they are expensive. Finally, they mailed me some cheap mats of unknown origin which don't even fit! So, now I have to spend extra $200-300 for the mats or drive without them. I can't believe they are BBB certified, I am thinking to file a complain just because all this experience left me feel very disrespected. read more

When they first send you a quote they throw $4000 on top of their listed price for ceramic coating and 3M film. They said it's automatic because they do that for all their cars. I just got a scratch on my bumper from a rock that tells me there is no 3M film on it. In the end I haggled the $4000 down to $3000. But that just means I paid $1000 over their sticker price for no reason. read more

Bought a nice car from Charlie. Was great to work with. Price was competitive and the sale was seamless. I would buy from them again.

Very suspicious! I called and spoke to Charlie, he said to come in of course, and then I read some sketchy reviews about added fees online, so I called back and he told me that they add 13% to the price online to cover "taxes and fees". I then asked for the out-the-door price and he told me they would not provide that information unless I came in. Be wary of these guys. Sound like typical used car salesman. I will not be buying from them! read more

DO NOT BUY A VEHICLE from this place. A bunch of crooks. I bought a vehicle 2 years ago and paid the extra for the extended warranty. I get a letter in the mail saying the dealer never funded the warranty company therefore my warranty was never active and have been paying interest ever since. I have been in numerous times HECTOR tells me to come back to meet with him and the finance manager to get me a new warranty and refund all money owed as this is contract FRAUD. I then go back in and the finance manager is no where to be seen and Hector says he can't provide me a warranty which is the only reason I bought this vehicle. The owner or finance manager needs to contact me asap or else I will have to move forward with a my lawyer. The car's leaking oil and power steering fluid plus leaking gas I can't even fill up my tank fully. I don't even know how this place is in business. read more

0 stars absolutely. (Sale man VINNY and finance ANDREW) Bought a car July 4, 2024 Infiniti Q50 2021. Mind you my key isn't even the original key and doesn't even have a cut key and have gotten locked out of my car and was told "why did you wait so long" sir if you guys couldn't even take care of the tires when I took it and I was there all day what makes you think I'm going to be driving back and forth and get the run around. The car was due for an oil change that some month 7/2024 which I took care of the tires were from 2017 I called the dealership drive 2 hours only to find out they were only changing 2 tires.... When I told to go back for the other 2 had one of the tire pop while I was on the freeway! My check engine light was turning on and off since the moment I bought (my 2 screens need to be replaced + a misfire+ white smoke from the exhaust) the car I was told again to take the car was there for over 3 hours only to be told "the air was released from the system" okay I asked for paperwork documentation was told "the mechanics don't write reports" okay so what was billed ? because I now took the car to a REAL mechanic and it has a bunch of issues and I've only put about 9k miles. Another thing I was told the car came with warranty for 24k miles or 2 years come to find out I'm paying 3k for the car was priced at 19k and after all the paper work 30k ??????? When I mention I need an alignment I was told "HOW DO YOU KNOW" I was because the car doesn't drive straight...... then was told "it needs an alignment after it gets tires changed" mind you my tires are from 2017 it's not rocket science it obviously needs new tires and an alignment. At this point it would be nice to speak to the owner not the Manager HECTOR since nothing ever gets resolved. Moral of the story sad to say I do NOT recommend this place. Also the day of purchasing the car we were rushed by VINNY the sales man BECAUSE HE WANTED TO GO EAT A BURGER almost forgot to mention I was never put on the finance paper work even tho I signed the finance contract put the down payment and I'm the one paying for the car read more

Southern California Pre Owned should not be allowed to operate as a business. I caught them forging my signature. From reading the other comments, I believe this is a common practice at this establishment. I went in to purchase a vehicle that was displayed online. Decided to finance there at the dealership (biggest mistake made on my end.) Went home with the purchased vehicle and a stack of papers. Realized the next day that I was missing a copy of the loan agreement. I attempted to get a copy of the loan agreement for about a week and a half, speaking to several people and even going in person but was told that the manager was not there that day to print me a copy. Once I received a copy of the loan agreement, I was given 7 pages of a loan agreement that I had never seen. They changed the loan agreement from 60 months to 72 months, adding thousands of dollars to the loan. This document contained several attempts on my signature. When I asked them about these signatures, they claimed they were e-signatures, (none of the signatures were identical to each other, indicating that they were not e-signatures) but I never gave consent for the use of e-signatures. After a day of talking to several people who claimed to be managers (Andrew & Araceli), they offered a full refund, which is exactly what I did. They refunded our down payment but were not able to reverse the hard inquiry on my credit. Several weeks have gone by since I returned the vehicle and I have received several toll road tickets totaling $1,000. These people do not know what they are doing read more

I will start by saying that I did not want to have to write this review, and gave SoCal Preowned every opportunity possible to avoid this. At the beginning of the year I began searching for a very specific car, that being a 2016 or older Model S with a sunroof in all black. So Cal preowned happened to have this exact car in the form a 2015 Model S 85. Upon seeing the listing I called and scheduled a test drive, knowing that if everything was as listed, I would likely buy the vehicle, as it is a very hard one to find. I met Mario, who was kind, but certainly did have many concrete answers. He more of a yes guy trying to get the sale. After the test drive I concluded that the car had some issues, mainly that sunroof did not work properly, there was some odd adhesive on the dashboard no one bothered to clean up, the tail light was out, there was excessive road noise, and a blinker malfunction. However, non of this was enough to not get the car if the deal was right. Now the deal, is laughable. Mario came out with a little piece paper, and all it had on it was what my monthly payment would be. I did openly laugh. Where's fine print? How is this breaking down? Why is it so high? As everyone here seems to know, they tack on a $4,000 fee to the list price automatically for some special kind of coating to the paint. When asked about this Mario's response was "Well would you have come to check out the car if it was $4,000 higher?" No sales person should ever say this. They also tried to sell me on a 11% interest rate. Luckily I knew exactly what I needed to pay monthly, what interest rate I needed, and how long I wanted that term to be. After much back and forth and numerous walk outs, they gave me exactly what I asked for in the first place. Lesson here, this place could be fine as long as you know exactly what you want to buy and what you want to pay and stand firm until you get it. I had it written into the contract that they would address the issues with the car as part of the deal. This was a nightmare. Knowing I had a trip coming up I took the car for a few weeks and then scheduled to bring it back in just before my trip. Mario greeted me and I went over all of the things that needed to be addressed. He assured me they would all be taken care of, yet he wrote nothing down. I said "are you sure you got all of the items?" Since it's a Tesla, I watch it through the app just sit on the lot for basically two weeks. Then when I returned the car still was not ready. After a lot of non answers and misinformation, they told me they were waiting on specific part for the sunroof. All together they had the car for over a month. That's a month of me paying on vehicle that I can't drive, and having to work around not having a car. Once I picked the car up the sunroof did work, but nothing else had been address. The adhesive hadn't even been removed. I wiped it once to goo gone and it came off. How hard would that have been to address? The tail light was still out. Blinker, road noise, etc... After mentioning this Hector told me to take it Tesla and send him the invoice, that he would reimburse the repair. So I did, and sent the $1,300 invoice immediately. Now it has been two months and no reimbursement. Not only that but every time I called I was promised a call back. To date, I have never been called back once. This place has very shady business practices. And while everyone I dealt with was kind, they ultimately lost a potential repeat customer, and garnered this review, over many little items that could have been easily addresses. Even if someone told me "Hey this invoice is larger than we expected, we can only cover x?" That would have been something, but to just ignore a customer, it's unacceptable. read more
