Redline European

Purchased a Continental GT in November and I’m happy with all aspects of my transaction. David worked professionally to make my trade in and purchase as worry free as possible. They went above and beyond to add upgrades to the Continental GT and when I couldn’t make it down to San Diego, even sent a sale associate to my home to finalize the deal.
Thanks for dealing with my attention to detail and I look forward to seeing your inventory when the time comes to purchase my next vehicle. All the best to you David and Redline European.

This was the easiest and most pleasant transaction I have ever had. I was moving from MI and so i needed a car ready by the time I got to San Diego. Travis took care of everything! These guys made EVERYTHING easy. Travis helped me with financing too and everything else to get the car ready. When I got to the dealership, it took about 10 minutes to take the car out! 10 freakin minutes! I love the car. The best dealership out there! Thank you!

Back in early 2015 I Went here looking for a clean used exotic ride after alread already spent 3 months looking for something. David showed me a beautiful 2006 Phantom that was a bit out of my price range as I wanted to buy it cash. I don’t use credit cards and usually buy everything cash but after looking the car over it was actually priced under book, just over my personal budget. After running my credit he realized I did not even have a score! lol
A few days went by and few calls back and forth and Travis got me financed! I couldn’t believe it! There were a few items promised at the time of sale with the car and Travis came through in the end as promised. Im so happy I am ready to go back for a ride for the wife before the year is over…

David and Travis were Great!!! This was by far the easiest car purchase I’ve ever had at a dealership. Because I live an hour away form the dealership, we did everything by phone and email… And when I came in to pickup the Audi A4 Avant, I was in and out so fast I had to ask myself «Is that it?» They have a beautiful selection of high end automobiles and not only will I recommend them to everyone I know whose looking to buy a car, they will be my first call when I make my next purchase… And if they don’t have what I’m looking for, I will have them find it. Thanks again Travis, you and your staff are the best!

Worked with David and had a very quick, easy transaction. I would definitely recommend Redline to friends. Excellent customer service. A welcome change from a typical car dealership!

Travis and David were fantastic. One day, not even… A few hours maybe. Looked over my income, ran the credit, next thing you know; come on down, let’s do this. got an über from LA to Sandiego. Drove home in a Panamera. That simple, case closed. I’ll be back in 9 months for the Bentley!

Travis was a stand-​up guy. Deal went smoothly and they promptly handled all the details. I recommend business with them.

We recently traded in our Porsche Panamera for an upgraded Porsche Panamera 4S! David was super responsive and helpful in giving a great deal on our trade and really worked hard on the weekend to contact various lenders to secure financing for our new car. My husband was so happy to finally get the Panamera model with all the trimmings AND that 400HP engine!
David was very informative and really no fuss type of guy. I loved how we did a lot of the deal over email and online and that we only spent 30 mins max at the shop test driving and signing the loan docs. It was a very easy transaction.
I was very wary knowing that this isn’t your typical commercial dealership. I trust in the product they offer and their pricing is very fair.
I would recommend buying an upscale vehicle from Redline European to anyone!
Thanks again David and hope to be in the market again! This time for ME!

Great experience acquiring my first exotic with Redline European. Purchased an Aston Martin working with the Redline team in June 2015. Travis Leford is very professional with a very genuine down-​to-​earth personality. I was able to obtain my purchase price with Travis being open to a pre-​purchase, no pressure conversation that focused on a negotiation which addressed my interests, concerns, wants and desires. Never once did I feel pressured, rushed and more importantly, we both invested time drafting a set of numbers to establish three options in my acquiring the vehicle (go cash, full finance or with a partial loan). I attest this experience to Travis being transparent in allowing (me) the customer, to establish a best course of action for the purchase and make sure I drove off in confidence with such an important acquisition.
One additional note; Travis included a few added extras that left me with the impression that he’s one cheeky, honorable perfectionist! (Provided my Aston with a full scope five star interior, exterior and engine detail along with a full tank of fuel for the drive home)…the car now smells of high grade english tailored baby cow hyde (dripping in top class fully treated and conditioned leather) and I had to laugh with a few Porsche owners who kept on rubbernecking while giving me some serious looks on the decadent drive home.
I could not complete this review with a special thanks to David who is very efficient in his showroom duties and has exemplary communication skills in salesmanship. David allowed me a comprehensive road test drive while providing me with a behind the wheel verbal history of the car followed up by documented maintenance records (highlighting a recently completed full service maintenance procedure that included new brakes and tires.
Once again, my purchase of this Aston exemplifies great credit upon Travis Leadford and his team at Redline European in making exotic and supercar purchases both an awesome and honorable life event. Many thanks and looking forward to doing business with Redline European in the near future.

Hands down the best experience purchasing a car yet! Travis was able to get me a great deal on a flawless S550. The car caught my attention while I browsed their website. From the pictures it looked amazing so I decided to stroll in and take a look at in person. The pictures did not do the vehicle justice, this car was in BRAND new condition and looked better in person. Purchased the car that day and haven’t had any regrets. Will be back for a coupe very soon.

The customer service at Redline is amazing!!! My boyfriend was looking for a very specific Ferrari and was tired of dealing with the same dealerships he had bought from in the past. Travis was very informative and went out of his way to find the car my bf was looking for. He made the whole experience easy and was not pushy at all, which I liked (the other dealers we dealt with just wanted to make a quick sale). My bf really appreciated how well Travis took care of him and went the extra mile in making sure he got exactly what he wanted. Great service and integrity can be hard to come by these days so if you’re looking for a new or used car go see Travis at Redline! I promise you won’t be disappointed :) THANK YOU TRAVIS!

My husband and I both drive cars we bought from Redline European. My husband drives a gorgeous convertible Aston Martin, which he bought in mint condition. It’s a dream car that most people never have an opportunity to drive. Travis, the owner of Redline, helped us put that dream car in our garage.
When we had a baby and it came time to buy a safe family car we were interested in a Range Rover Sport. We went to the dealership on Miramar and looked at several models. My husband decided to compare with Redline before we made a purchase and I’m so glad he did. Travis got the exact Range Rover we were looking for and had it styled to our liking. We were approved for financing right away and I drove the car home the very next day. The car is beautiful, in perfect condition and was priced fairly, unlike at the dealership. We could not be happier with the service and products of Redline European.

What a pleasure to do business with! Easy going Got a 2010 Mercedes benz E350 coupe was looking for a while even was willing to go to Mecedes of San Diego and pay more wow they should take lessons from these guys! Way to go made me so happy couldn’t stop smileing all the way home !!!

Ii would first like to thank both Travis and David for really going the extra 20 miles to make things right. You guys really understand what customer service is all about and I am still waiting to wake up and realize that it was all a dream. But nope got up this morning and my new, new car was still in the driveway. If anyone ever has any questions about the integrity of this company, DON“T. Please know that you are in the BEST OF HANDS. I will be moving out of state but if I decide to buy another car iI will defiantly drive all the way back here just for the sheer piece of mind that I will be treated with respect and the pleasure of working with them again will be all mine. They are the most honest, customer service oriented business I have come across in a long time. Keep up the great work, because you have something that know one else does. CUSTOMER SERVICE A+++++

Short story: I have never dealt with any salesman, especially a car salesman that has taken care of me as well as Travis has. He wasn’t just helpful but went out of his way to take care of everything for me. If you’re in the market for a used luxury european, this is the place you should go.
Long story: About a 6 weeks ago I went into Redline to check out an AMG they had. Travis and I chatted quickly and then he gave me the keys and told me to take it for a test drive. No pressure, no sales pitches, nothing. After driving it I was in love. I had his shop give it a once-​over, and then had my shop do a full inspection. Both reports came in clean. I bought the car and a 3 year warranty a few days later and when I went to pick it up I found that Travis had noticed the tires were pretty worn out and went and got brand new tires for it for no extra charge. I went home a very happy man.
The next day I spent all day happy driving my new car, but by the end of the day I had an error message pop up saying «low coolant». I let the car sit overnight and in the morning I checked the coolant level and the overflow tank was a tad low. I added some water and for a while the car was fine, but by the afternoon the message came back. I immediately started doing research and found that it could be one of 2 things: dirty level sensor or a known defect for a range of these AMGs where the head bolts were poor quality and would randomly snap. The car ran great, I saw no smoke and the coolant level was not that low so I wasn’t too worried, until day three. I went to run and errand and by the time I got home the car was barely running. I thought it threw a rod or worse.
I called Travis and immediately he assured me he would take care of it. He took the car to my shop (one of the most reputable independent Mercedes shops in SD). They took a look from the outside, assured me there was no major damage, but assumed it was a broken head bolt, so they asked if I would take the car to Mercedes-​Benz dealership to fix since it was a factory defect. Travis again arranged another tow truck to MB. He also talked to my warranty company who assured us I would be covered, but asked us to wait a couple of weeks before filing a claim, just to make life easier on them. (I guess warranties don’t kick in right away…) In the mean time Travis arranged to have MBSD give me a brand new C series as a loaner. 2 weeks later, MBSD took apart my motor and confirmed that there was no damage to the motor but that a head bolt did snap, and that they would have to do a top end rebuild on it. They also contacted MB about covering the repair since my car was out of the factory warranty (by like 2 months) MBUSA declined it. I even called and they denied me again, their reasoning being that I wasn’t a loyal customer and didn’t buy the car from a licensed dealer so as far as they’re concerned if there is no recall, you’re SOL.
So we moved forward with the 3^rd party warranty. They sent an inspector to look over the damage and determine if this was just a freak fault, or if I got a lemon. During this whole time Travis kept me in the loop and was checking with both MBSD and the warranty company to make sure I would be taken care of. Unfortunately after a week of waiting on the report, the warranty came back with a denial. Even though the warranty was supposed to cover the drivetrain completely and their report found that it was just a factory fault, and not the dealers or mine, they felt it was too expensive to fix and denied the claim.
At this point both Travis and I were floored and he stepped in immediately and said he would cover the cost of the repair out of pocket. Since the warranty was at this point pointless he offered me a refund for it and tried to get me a different warranty through MB, but that one would have been 5k more. I did not want to spend more money on this car, so we agreed that he would take the car back and he would refund me the full amount.
Let me say that again. I bought a car from Travis that had a factory fault neither his nor my shop could find, he took care of it as soon as it blew up, MBUSA screwed us, the warranty company screwed us, and after he offered to fix the car on his own tab, he graciously took the car back and has not only refunded me the full amount, but also had to cover the repairs out of pocket. His only concern during the whole process was making sure I was happy with the deal and the car I bought. What other dealer have you ever heard of going to these lengths? This car may not have worked out, but I’m sure as hell going to go to him when I’m ready to get another car.

I recently purchased a BMW from Redline European. David was pleasant and helpful. I received a follow up phone call from the owner Travis a couple days after my purchase to make sure I was happy and loving my new car. I have no complaints and recommend Redline to anyone looking to purchase a luxury car at a fair price.

If I could give this place less than one star I would. I went there to look at a Bentley GTC and an SL65, cash in hand. David refused to allow me to even test drive the vehicles after I had emailed him two days earlier, claiming he never received it and that it was clearly in their website.
Well it’s not. Not at the time of me writing this review, though I suppose it will be as soon as they read this.
It would be one thing if I was local but I drove down to San Diego to see the vehicles from LA. I explained that it was not an easy trip but David did not care, he said I could schedule a test drive tomorrow.
Additionally, I noticed Redline European has some very clever photo techniques. Te Bentley I went there to look at looks phenomenal in photos but in person the entire drivers seat bolster is coming unstitched. This is not visible in the photos as they have the seat belt covering it on purpose; class act.
In my search for a luxury vehicle, I value integrity more than anything else. Redline European has none in my opinion and I’ll enjoy spending my hard earned money elsewhere.

Found a car I wanted on AutoTrader and ended up here. David took care of me from start to finish. A++++++ transaction. A month after I bought my car he even found the 2^nd key and overnighted it to me. Will be back again to grab a SLS Amg! Thanks again David.

If you are thinking the 2006 White Corvette Convertible is the car for you, think again. It was listed at $ 33K, then drastically dropped to $ 29K and suddenly listed on Ebay. There is a reason — it is no longer in mint condition — the front right fender has been replaced with a front right fender from a different model. The fender does not fit, it is not the right color, the hood does not latch down on the right side at all, the front bumper has been repainted (badly), the right door may have been repainted (badly, there are marks that should not be there), the passenger seat has a tear and a coffee stain on it. I trust the car was pristine and in mint condition when it arrived at the dealership because they have the photos to prove it, but something terrible has happened since then and it is NOT pretty. Sales guy, David, feigned ignorance about the fender. The car fax is clear because whatever happened to the front right side of the car occurred after the car fax was run. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!

Travis runs a solid shop with great inventory and good service. His pricing is really competitive and his luxury cars are some of the finest around
