Nostalgic Motor — Local services in San Diego

My son had an accident while away at college and totaled his car. He loved his 2008 manual transmission Mazda 3 and I really wanted to find another one just like it for him. I was in a hurry as my son had no vehicle and he relied on his car to get to school so I started searching right away for a similar car. I found one for sale at Nostalgic Motors so I went to take a look. I was prepared for sticker shock because this is a terrible time to buy a used car due to inflation, but I was pleased to see that the car I was interested in was in good condition and was priced very fairly. The owner sat down with me and explained how they have their vehicles thoroughly inspected before posting them for sale and they repair any items that come up during the inspection. I test drove the Mazda and it seemed to be in great shape so I offered to purchase, but I did ask for some minor cosmetic work to be done first. The owner took care of the item right away and made sure I was satisfied before I took the car. I was assured that if any problems popped-up after the sale, they would do their best to make it right. I drove the car up to Irvine the next day and it drove like a champ. I had a great experience at Nostalgic Motors, friendly and fair, I recommend checking them out for...

This was above and beyond the BEST car buying experience I have ever had. Wahid and his son go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and satisfied throughout the whole experience. As soon as I walked on the lot I was happily greeted. I asked to test drive a car and minutes later I was handed the keys. After driving the car (drove great and was extremely clean!!), I told Wahid I would like to purchase it. Since it was close to closing time, we had to wait until the next morning. I came in the next day with cash in hand and Wahid handled all the paperwork and offered food and drinks while I waited. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and had a knack for making you feel like family. After he finished up the paperwork, we shook hands and I drove off in my new car! He even followed up with me a few days later and texted to see how I had been enjoying the new ride! All in all, this was a fantastic buying experience and I have my full trust in Nostalgic motors for future purchases and will definitely be recommended them to anyone in the area looking for a car!...

SIMPLY THE BEST 💯 I just bought a used Honda Fit, in near new condition, and it drives like a dream. I drove out from Ontario (2 hour drive) because I appreciated the helpfulness and respect of Wahid (my sales Gentleman). He answered all my questions (I had lots!), he worked with my personal situation and scheduling, plus he truly cared about my needs and wants with this purchase. I never expected such consideration and kindness from a dealership (you know how they usually are...) but I was truly made to feel right at home. This is a family owned and operated business that I hope to deal with for years and years to come. Great car, great service, and none of the pushy BS or condescending dialogue that usually exists in sales, especially dealerships... I am SO happy I found this place and can't express my gratitude for dealing with such honesty, consideration, and respect. It was refreshing, for sure, especially these days! I've only written a handful of reviews but felt this one was worthy of my time and effort. I highly recommend this...
