Point Loma Pre Owned

I got to say their cars are super competitive, a little high mileage but if you are on a budget then this is place to be. I got myself I got myself I got myself I got myself I got myself I got myself a nice I got myself a nice Mercedes at a good price and Sam was able to get me approved
These guys are good to come see them I would recommend them thanks matt and Sam!

I recently bought a truck from Point Loma Pre-​Owned on 1÷22÷2016. I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far. I had been shopping around for a month or so and I have extremely bad credit and really needed to get myself into a full size truck. I was still paying on a loan for another truck from a bigger much better reviewed used car lot. Not only was I treated with respect by all of the staff present, I wasn’t made to feel like a burden for the work they had to do to get me into the truck I wanted, but they gave me honest, straight forward answers to all of my questions on whichever vehicle I had questions on. If there were issues, they knew about the told me, if they had to perform any kind repairs they told me what they were without hesitation. From the first the first introduction until the present time I haven’t felt at all like I was dealing with sleazy used car salesmen trying to pawn off a p.o.s. for full msrp. Not only were they able to get me financed for my tuck, pay off my negative equity loan on my trade in, get me a very respectable interest rate with monthly payments that are less than I had said I was comfortable with, they gave me an absolutely amazing price on my truck. Lets all be realistic, they are providing a service as a seller/​broker they are not mechanical fortune tellers. They do not claim to have A.S.E. certified master ford techs do 136 point safety inspections on all Ford cars and tucks that they put out in the lot. The have a private in house mechanic that is going through and doing the blatant, in your face problems on an extremely broad variety of cars. Things like starters going bad, clutch failure, blown head gaskets and many other things cant ever be predicted, not by the manufacturer and not by the factory trained line tech at the dealer. You’re purchasing a «used «vehicle and they’re honest about them regardless of the mileage or the year or anything else and by honest I mean they don’t have the engine and under carriage steam cleaned so 125 000 mile engine looks like someone put in a brand new crate motor, so you can see were problems might be starting or be present! I have been put into a vehicle by a car lot that was extremely dangerous, that had massive issues they tried to hide and put me off on the repairs when I called them out on the band aids they put over knife wounds and when I finally almost ended up in oncoming traffic from suspension/​steering problems they let me drive away with and lied to my face about! There are a couple of small request that I have made on my purchase, when I drove back on the lot this past Friday afternoon not only was greeted with smiles and handshakes and a plate of food, which was totally cool, but Sam took immediate action to get things handled without any argument or hassle, and didn’t treat me like an inconvenience in the least bit. I don’t believe any of these quarks with the truck were known about and not addressed to make a couple hundred dollars extra on a sale. Thank you Point Loma Pre-​Owned a thousand times over and a thousand times again for making miracles happen for me and doing it with a smile on your faces, I will continue to purchase my vehicles and send my family and friends to Point Loma Pre-​Owned for many years to come, not only for the amazing deals on bad ass rides, but also the outstanding service and integrity of these guys!!! Just to be completely, clear when I say made miracles happen, my credit was in the 300’s and my Chevy 2500hd ltz is exceptional!!!

I had been calling about purchasing a vehicle that I saw online from them for about a week, and asked several times if anything at all was wrong with the vehicle. They reassured me nothing was wrong with the vehicle I was interested in buying, which was an Audi Q7. I discussed total cost out the door CASH, and they told me $ 12,600 & that includes them registering the vehicle. I did not look at the car, or test drive it first. I bought it & when I did Sam said, «we’re not monsters if you find anything wrong with the car let us know, so we can work with you to fix it because we want you happy.» I noticed the next day the light was on indicating the tire pressure, and brake light. I replaced the brake light, and went to discount tire who told me all 4 tires needed to be changed, but 2 right away. When it rained that day I discovered the window wiper blades needed to be replaced because they could have done these minor problems before selling the car they posted stating everything was excellent working condition. I replaced them. I kept all the receipts from the items I had to pay to replace. After driving the car I noticed the stereo kept going out consistently & the Navigation system did not work, so I called to share my issues. The owner, told me to bring the Q7 back on Monday when his mechanic was available & they would fix the issues. He said, «Discount tires is around the corner, and they can have them put on new tires.» He also, told me they would drive the Q7 to me, so I would not have the inconvenience again. I dropped the car off on Monday, and no one calls me it’s Thursday evening & I call them to inquire. Nothing has been done to my car. I am super upset, and am baffled as to why they would lie, or disrespect my time. I really want my car that I paid for in full back, so I can fix the issues myself at this point. They tell me they will meet me somewhere to give me the car back because the shop was closed, but when Sam called me he was super rude because it was his day off & very unapologetic. I told him to enjoy his day off. The owner got 2 new tires from discount tires that were the cheapest available, and said sorry, but his mechanic could not fix the problems I should take the Q7 to Audi they need to reprogram the system.
I should have just taken the vehicle straight to the Audi service in the first place it would have saved me a week without my car & the drama of dealing with the added bs. Honor & Integrity are values this shop, it’s owner, nor it’s employees know anything about. After visiting the Audi service center it cost me another $ 1,300 to pay for the Navigation, and the MMI system to work properly. I would never recommend buying any vehicle from this shop. They never reimbursed me for the items I paid to fix on my own, and they made copies of the receipts. Point Loma Pre-​Owned are LIARS. If you enjoy time wasters, lies, and the ultimate run around give them a call, or go visit them today! Tell them I sent you.

I am so thankful we decided not to purchase a car from here. Upon arriving it was obvious this place was shady/​questionable but we assumed that going in. We test drove a car and asked the guy what his best deal was and he said he could know off $ 200 – 300. Then he proceeded to adamantly tell us he knew we had been there before and we wanted that car. We had NEVER been to the lot and to be honest it was extremely awkward and offputting. Walked away and didn’t look back. After reading the reviews I’m thankful we didn’t waste any more time.

Applied online, guy called me within 5 minutes and asked me all the same questions that were on the online application I just submitted. Said he would call me back in 30 — 45 minutes. Never heard from him again. Coward isn’t even man enough to call back and say I wasn’t approved???

This place is a complete rip off. Matt promised me that the vehilce I bought was maintained and all up to date as far as the regular vehicle maintenance goes. I bought the vehicle on June 5^th and by July 23^rd my starter goes out. I called to get the issue resolved and instead of offering me help the guy insisted to argue with me and say anything that happened is my fault. Guys like him don’t last long in this business and I can’t wait to drive by his business when I see a «For Sale» sign outside because you can’t keep a profitable business with hundreds of unhappy customers complaining online. I also told him I would go online and complain. and his reaction was «I DONT GIVE A FUCK». Yea that sounds like the ideal person to spend your hard earned money with. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY

Bought my car there almost 2 years ago and now I’ve decided to upgrade to something newer. They’re very helpful and I’m excited that I’ll take delivery of my second one from them later today. Thank you Matt & Sam.

i paid my car off and they wont give me my title!!! dont buy here!!! this place is not legit! they wont even give you their name if you ask. i am headed to the police station to file an investigation!

Yeah sure its a shady place, but tell me a car lot that isn’t shady? Anyways i bought a used bmw here at a great price. I’ve been driving it for a few weeks, no check engine lights and it hasnt imploded on me. I know bmw’s and consider myself a good weekend mechanic as far as hobbiests go. The bmw checked out and was in great condition, despite the 127k miles. Best advice i can give is before you buy any used car, do your research and learn how to properly inspect the vehicle. If you’re still unsure, buy the warranty for a couple hundred bucks more. Bottom line is when you buy ANY car over 100k in miles a check engine light is going to come on, its not a matter of if but when. If your not handy with a wrench and you don’t have deep pockets for repairs you have no business even considering these cars. Be prepared to spend some time on youtube learning how to repair your car and get on the online forum for advice. If you finance a luxury car with over 100k miles you are an idiot. Anyways it was a smooth transaction, they took my trade in no questions asked. With just a few signatures the car was mine. They don’t have much flex on price, but what i was offered was fair. I’m satisfied.

My wife and I stopped by to look at a couple of cars on the lot. After 3 employees passed us by without acknowledging our presence, I flagged one down to ask if the cars were unlocked. He told me to try the doors and walked away. As I suspected, all 4 cars were locked. We lingered for another 10 minutes but the employees were too busy talking among themselves and smoking cigarettes to offer any assistance. For a used car lot they don’t seem very interested in selling cars. Makes ya think, what’s really going on here?

Very shady place. My husband was about to purchase a Prius from them today. As he was on the lot, I decided to look up the Unilocal reviews and saw all the bad reviews, so I told him to not buy it until we could take it to Toyota or another mechanic for diagnostics.
When we told them we wanted to take it to Toyota they said they had their own mechanic and would not let us take the car to check with an external mechanic. When we asked about the return policy since we couldn’t take it to our own mechanic, he said buy at your own risk.
What kind of shady response is that? How can we trust their mechanic?
Also, do you notice how all the people who give them 5 star reviews only have a few reviews under their belt in total? Coincidence? I think not…
I wouldn’t buy from them. No thank you.

I came in to this place so many times debating if I should finance a car or not, especially from a smaller used car dealership. I can tell you that I could not have bought from a better place! These people are amazing to you, they make sure that you get in the car you want and they also make sure that you are satisfied after. They are not like most grimy small used car dealerships– they take car of you! I have now became great friends with them and plan on making all of my used car purchases from them! They have a nice selection as well, which makes the buying part pretty easy because there is always something to suit everyone :) I am a real person and I am truly satisfied with this place!!!

I was in the market for a car for myself and i needed one right away for work, I was in the midway area and saw their selection. I saw a porsche for 6 grand and I said why not, I already have a brand new SUV for my family and this porsche is kinda perfect just for myself. I called miramar porsche and ask what would be needed to be done, and they said that I would have to do the 125k maintenance, when i brought it up to their attention, they said they did everything already and he was pretty sure about it. Matt keeps talking about how good the car is and how much they spent tuning it. My fault is that I didn’t take it to a mechanic first but since its a porsche I would have to spend a lot just for them to check the car. After a month of barely driving it, all hell comes loose. Check engine on, and the car started acting weird. I bought a CEL reader and goddamn 11 codes comes on. Maf sensor, misfire, oxygen, the whole nine yards. I have never felt dumb so bad. I replaced the spark plug myself (btw, everything underneath the car was disgusting, it looked like the car haven’t been worked on in decades, and the plugs and coils was soaking in oil) and barely made it to a real Honda dealership and traded it in, the good news is that i brought the car at night when there is no mechanic and they gave me a fair price for the trade. i kinda felt bad but i still lost a couple grand just like that. Do not buy from these people, they will lie and tell you everything they need to to get you to buy the car, if you want a used car, but it from a certified dealer not from these scam artist. This dealership doesn’t even deserve a one star. Again, AVOID this place!

I would give less stars if I could. My husband and I dropped by here after doing some on-​line research. We test drove the two Prius’s on the lot black and silver ’07. The black one was horrific-​gross, dirty etc. We test drove the silver and asked if it had been in any accidents, anything we should know about-​all the appropriate «used car questions». They said the car was perfect. We scheduled an apt to get a diagnostic done at Mossy Toyota and paid $ 106 out of our pocket to wait 2hrs and have Toyota tell me that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced and «someone» had manually turned off the check engine light-​this is actually illegal! Of course when we brought the car back they denied.
They let me take the car to get the diagnostic run and pay out of pocket knowing everything that was wrong. I’m glad I went into this reading the previous Unilocal reviews-​was hoping my experience would be different… but it wasn’t. Terrible place!

I was considering buying a car from them (1999 323i, to be specific) but then I ran a Carfax… The odometer had been rolled back at least 50,000 miles! The «Carfax» they had on their website failed to mention this. I’m sure this isn’t the case with all of their vehicles, but it might be a good idea to do some research before you trust these guys.

I purchased a Ford F-​250 from Point Loma Pre-​Owned on behalf of a research group at the University of California, San Diego. I worked closely with Matt over the course of 3 weeks in order to get the car registered with the university.
When I first test drove the truck, I found there to be a lot of play in the steering. After getting it inspected by university mechanics, we found the brake pads to be on their last limbs and its steering box to likely be faulty (play in the steering).
I returned the vehicle and Matt was more than happy to fix everything we found to be an issue with the truck. He purchased brand new brake pads, resurfaced the rotors, aligned the steering, and replaced the steering box with factory recommended parts. On top of all this, the price of the truck did not change. I then drove the truck again and found it to handle and brake spectacularly.
I could not expect any higher service from a used car dealership. Matt was not stingy at all in fixing what issues I found with the truck, something I could not find in any of the other dealerships I visited.
As this purchase was for the university using university funds, the paperwork to transfer the funds stalled midway through the process. Matt was very understanding and patient with this incident. He was more than accommodating in waiting for the money to come through.
Overally, I must say my experience at Point Loma Pre-​Owned was phenomenal. The salesman are warm and welcoming and above all treat you as you should be treated.
The other reviews don’t do this place justice. Each and every vehicle purchased second hand needs to be inspected by someone who knows the ins and outs of a vehicle. It is the buyer’s job to understand any faults with an automobile before they purchase it used.
Thanks Matt!

These guys are great! They went above and beyond to help me find exactly what I wanted and they financed me when I didnt think it could be done. Thanks guys!

I have to agree with the previous reviewer Andrea. The sale of the car was great, the customer service during the sale was good, and then the same thing happened — one day, something happened and then it was a horrible domino effect after that. We took the car back to get it serviced and they said it was fine, they turned off the ‘check engine’ light. Even the owner Jay tried to help us out but he was as joke, all to well. You’re better off paying the bigger bucks at a well known dealership — Toyota, Honda, Ford, etc — for the warranty, customer service, car servicing, and sales price than coming here. I have to admit, we did have our share into this by not asking as much questions as we should have to the rep. Regardless, this place is a joke and I highly do not recommend this place for any car or service sales.

I would recommend you do not buy a vehicle from this place. It may seem great because of the prices and the way the people act, but sadly they aren’t all they claim they are. My husband and I bought a car from them and they tell you they have fixed all the problems and the car was ready to go. It seemed like they were telling the truth, the car was great for a few months, then one day 5 things went wrong at once. And of course when you talk to them they swear up and down that they fixed everything and it’s not their problem.
