Ray’s Auto Sales

In 1 word, Ray’s Auto Sales is Amazing! I spent many months car shopping, going to many used car lots and checking out prices and the quality of the cars. I eventually ended up going with Ray’s car lot and buying myself a used Jetta. The car was very clean, he was very courteous and informative about the cars and what maintenance had been done and what to expect in the future. The price was right and total fair and he even has a repair shop there to resolve any issues you might have.
I am pretty Car savvy and relatively handy with a wrench but I can tell speaking with Ray that he is a master mechanic and really know his cars.
I don’t see what the negativity is about this place. I do understand why people may get frustrated as he was very busy the first time I was there. I think that is because he has a proven reputation as a mechanic that also happens to sell great, used cars for the right price. Unlike most used car sales lots that like to over charge you for cars that have many many issues.
The last great thing is he was able to smog and register the car right there on the spot for me. Totally satisfied and planning to buy all my used cars from Ray. Don’t believe anyone’s negative hype, check this place out for yourself. Its the smart choice.
The one downside of this place is, for the time being, is that there is contraction on Magnolia, so its a bit of a pain right now making u-​turns and what not, but hopefully that will be fixed soon in time for my next visit to this unicorn all-​in-​one car place.

I don’t understand all the negativity.
Nick & Ray are really nice guys.
My father and I have known them for years!
All the negative reviews must’ve been over misunderstandings.
I’ve known these two to be very professional and helpful!

Wow. So unbelievably unprofessional it’s not even funny. You can obviously tell the «Great» reviews are totally fake. Small, old-​school, and unprofessional business. Even if they so happen to have your dream vehicle. I just wouldn’t advise it. #run #dontlookback

Rude, unaccommodating. Ray is a complete jerk in my humble opinion.
I stopped by hoping to test drive one of the cars and he treated me like a solicitor trying to sell him something. Complete joke! Worst experience I’ve ever had on a used car lot. I can see from the reviews here I’m not the only one. This guy needs a major attitude adjustment.
My advice; stay away.

I bought my BMW 528i from Ray’s Auto. I have to say they were one of the most professional used car dealers I have ever dealt with. I was in need of a great car for a decent price. I was referred to Ray’s Auto by a friend and I was not disappointed at all. I met Ray who owns the dealership and he was very informative. He was not pushy at all and is an experienced mechanic himself, therefore he answered any questions I had. All cars on the lot are inspected before they are sold. Ray is a great guy and is really there to help you find the car you need. They also have a mechanic shop so I will make sure to take my car to them if I ever need mechanic work. Nick, who is Ray’s brother, helped finish all the paperwork needed for the purchase of the car. Nick was also a great guy and made me feel like I was family rather than just another customer. I highly recommend these guys. Thanks again Ray’s Auto! You guys are great!

I had my 2013 Toyota Tacoma serviced here on a Saturday morning and they had it done by early afternoon and the service was GREAT! I will be referring all my relatives and friends here.

I stopped by the other day in passing as I’ve been shopping around for a used car and haven’t had much luck on Craigslist. The owner, a guy named Ray, was so completely rude to me. First off, there are no prices listed on the cars. I always feel like I’m getting ripped off when I see this. Like the price will vary based on how much they think they can swindle me. Anyhow, I was so turned off by this guy’s a-​hole, used cars salesman tactics that I just walked off the lot. I’ve never been spoken to so condescendingly by someone trying to sell ME something. Yes, I realize I AM a woman, but I’m not a COMPLETE moron when it comes to cars. My brother is a Master Tech Mechanic and taught me a thing or two. This guy is a complete jerk… take your business elsewhere!

Okay… So I started my car search 2 weeks ago. I’ve been looking for a 2000 – 2006 BMW 3 series. I had already looked at a handful, but hadn’t found the right one yet. Of course I was searching through every Internet site possible (Auto Trader, Craigslist
Edmunds, etc). Well, I happened to see a black 2002 BMW with higher miles than I would like, but looked decent from the pics and trust me I know my expectations aren’t too high, when buying a used car. However, I also do much research when purchasing a car. I check the value (KBB) and also look at comparable sales. Based off the miles, and the condition of the car, the car was overpriced by maybe 1500… I thought to myself «Not bad. Worth looking at»
Well last week I finally called «Rays Auto Sales» and spoke with Ray himself. He was very professional and sounded nice over the phone. He said «Come by. Take a look at whatever car you want even test drive them». Well, I arrive to his lil 12 car dealership. I notice that none of his cars have prices. I introduce myself and tell him that I’m interested in the 03 BMW 330ci that’s on the lot. He tells me that the price for that car is «8,900». I told him I saw it online for «7,900» and I was the guy that just called. He said «Oh buddy, sorry, yes, the Internet price is „7,900“. I told myself „whatever“ I can expect that from most used car dealers, right?
Well, I turn on the car and it’s idling a bit funny. I call him over and tell him that I would like to test drive it. He asked me how much I like the car. I told him that the car looks to be in decent shape, but I can’t really tell until I test drive it. He asked me if I was okay with the price. I explained to him that the price will vary much depend on the test drive. I also explained to him that before I even agreed to a price, I would take the car to a BMW dealership to get a pre-​purchase inspection. He said „No, No, No… unless you can agree to the price, I cannot let you test Drive the car“… I was bit shocked, not only because he wouldn’t let me test drive it and wanted me to agree on a price, before I even know if the car moves… but because he said it in such a rude tone».
I explained to him that I am also in sales and that I would never expect one of my clients to agree to a price before they even understand the product. I was extremely calm and pretty professional as a buyer. I do this, because always think any person I meet could be a prospective client. Anyways, Ray then decided to ask what I sell. I told him I sell real Estate… He laughed and said «You’re not a salesman. try selling used cars. In this scenario. I am number one and you’re number two. You would not be able to do what I do»… I got pretty frustrated at this guys attempt to insult me. So I told him «What are we doing measuring each other dicks now. I came here to test drive a car. and you want me o agree to a price when I don’t even know if it runs». He explained that I look like a grinder and he doesn’t like to deal with people that want to negotiate or grind him down on prices. I walked way before he could even finish. As I’m walking away he yells «Come back when you know how to do business» The ghetto «inside» of me wanted to punch this guy in the face. I can’t believe I was just talked to in such a rude and disrespectful manner.
The reviews on the top of Unilocal are completely fake… It’s obvious. and not because he’s Armenian and the fake reviews have Armenian names as well, but there is no way that me and two other people have had very similar experiences and he’s «Amazing» to those two line reviews.
I have no idea where in the world this guy thinks he can sell cars and have people agree to overpriced vehicles and before test driving. The funny part is that my brother works for BMW and he delivers parts to this guy. When I told him what happened and what lil dealership it was, he said to never buy anything from this guy. He said that he’s delivering parts for every BMS car in his lot that is for sell multiple times a week. Maybe, that’s why he’s not big on having his cars driven… they probably have very few lil miles before something collapses OR maybe he’s just the worst car salesmen in the world.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! I SWEAR!

Great cars for low prices. Everyone here was honest and caring. I always buy my cars from here. Thanks guys! I bought my Jeep from here a few years ago and I always get it serviced here with Raymond. When I am ready to sell my car I am going to bring it here again for it to get sold.
I love being able to go to one place for everything car related! Thanks guys!

I walked in and was quckly greeted by nick. He was very nice, the lot seemed very laid back and not pushy. They let me test drive the car I was looking at by myself, which was nice not having a salesperson next to me distracting me. Pricing was straight forward, I got the extended warranty which seemed fair and considering my past luck it was a no brainer. I will always go to rays auto for all my car needs!

Bought an 2004 toyota sienna and 1998 mercedes c230. got a fair deal on both. They worked with me on one trade in. We are happy with both vehicles. it’s been 4 months and no issues. both cars have over 100k miles. Ray and Nick were easy to deal with. Pretty straight forward.

Shady. Less than honest. No full disclosure. I spoke to Nick if I could test drive a 2002 Nissan Frontier over the phone. He said, «sure.» I drive there 20 minutes later. He tells me that I need to agree to the $ 7,400 price and dealer fees which total $ 8,500 before I can even test drive it. Let me ask you which dealer makes you agree to buy the car before you test drive it. The only ones I know are shady, snake-​oil, dishonest ones. If you like being taken advantage of, this is the place for you. I priced a 2004 Nissan Frontier with power options in excellent condition and dealer retail was $ 7,800. This place is a rip off and a waste of my time. I’m going to keep shopping online using





etc. It would still be cheaper and better to ship the car to me than to buy here. I will never come back to this place. By the way he tells me when I get there, that all their prices are firm and they don’t take offers. I’m not stupid, but maybe people in North Hollywood are stupid enough to agree to buy their cars at asking prices without even a test drive.

Bought a black 2003 IS300 from here with only 95, xxx miles and it had the usual wear and tear on the exterior with an immaculate interior and a couple dings and scratches here and there but it came with a 500 mile/​30 day warranty. i went away happy for a solid week and a half which then the tides changed… i’d like to think it’s just a coincidence but the check engine light has come on many times pulling 3 different codes for misfiring cylinders, camshaft position retardation and o2 sensors… conveniently at the end of my warranty. i know that there are many ways of hiding the CEL and getting it to pass smog… it seems almost all too inconvenient. i’ve only driven it about 450 miles and i’m already throwing away $ 700.
do with this information what you will…
