Southern California Preowned

  We bought a Fiat 500e over the internet from Southern California Preowned, and had it delivered to San Francisco. The experience, while not perfect, was plenty good - I recommend this business, and I'd certainly buy from them again.
  
  The first issue we encountered was that the price displayed online was not the actual price of the car - when we received an email quote, it was hundreds of dollars higher. We pointed this out, and got a break on the price - not all the way down to the online price, but still a good deal compared to all the other similar cars we found in northern or southern California.
  
  The second issue we had was not really Southern California Preowned fault - the delivery company they selected was a bit disorganized, and it took a lot of back and forth with them to confirm where and when the car was going to be delivered. Ultimately, it showed up in perfect shape, and the delivery drivers were super-friendly!
  
  Finally, when we inspected the car, we realized there were three issues that hadn't been disclosed earlier - the Tire Pressure Sensor error light was on, the car was missing an armrest, and there was only one key. Our local Fiat dealer fixed the Tire Pressure Sensor light at no charge, so cost us only our time to resolve. Apparently some used cars come with only one key - a second key for this car costs over $300, and having just one key is risky! The missing armrest was going to cost over $200 to replace, but it was in a spot in the car where we didn't actually miss it. We contacted Southern California Preowned to point out these issues - they quickly offered a payment in compensation, which resolved the matter to our satisfaction.
  
  Overall, I would have preferred to avoid these issues, but buying a used car online, sight unseen, seems almost guaranteed to have some sort of challenges - and Southern California Preowned were champs when it came to helping deal with these issues.

  We couldn't have asked for a better experience than working with Daniel at Southern CA Pre-owned. I'd been searching for an EV at a reasonable price. After looking online for weeks it was clear that they had the best used car inventory (with several different EVs that we could test drive at one location) and prices that were very reasonable. We met with Daniel on Wednesday and were impressed with his familiarity with battery electric cars but we're most happy about his direct candor and patience while we made our decision. We returned the next day and finished all the paperwork in a short amount of time and without ANY hassle whatsoever. This company and Daniel in particular earned our business and I'll be recommending them to anyone who is thinking about buying a quality used car.

  I can highly recommend this dealership!
  
  First I was hesitant to get our car from here, since the price they offered was considerably lower than other dealers and I thought there might be a catch in it. I even waited for a while to test out the car on longer term before leaving a review to be as accurate as possible.
  
  Now that we've been using our car for more than a month and we put about 3.000 miles in it, I can say that it was an exceptional buy. Although it had 2 little problems that came out, the car repair shop they have contract with, immediately fixed them under the repair warranty they offer for an affordable extra price. They also offer a maintenance warranty for a minimal cost that covers oil change, etc. They've already changed the oil in our car once, instantly, without having to call them in advance.
  
  Daniel is the nicest, most helpful and polite sales guy you can deal with and it was a real pleasure to meet him! George, the manager was also great and he worked together with us to find the best and most affordable option for us (he lowered the price of the car and the price of the maintenance and repair warranty as well, since our original budget was lower).
  
  Overall, this is the greatest and most affordable place if you want to buy a car, with nice and helpful staff who will work with you on the price and the services they offer. ☺️
