Ali and Dave were awesome, I came in with a pretty small budget, I went to a number of other dealerships that day and felt like I was being ripped off everywhere else. They were not pushy at all, let me shop around at my leisure, test drive all the cars I was interested in, I ended up picking up this 1999 Nissan Pathfinder for a pretty good price. Car runs great and super clean, they are really passionate about sourcing good cars for people that won t break down as soon as you pull them off the lot. Overall I m super happy with my experience and purchase from these guys. Highly recommend if you re looking for a car on a small budget.

We found a great deal on a used Ford Ranger! The vehicle was like new. Ali was very respectful and kind. The process was quick and easy. Highly recommended if you're looking for a used vehicle in great condition.

Really affordable options for any budget. No frills, no high pressure sales. We enjoyed talking with EC and we're considering getting a second car for the family so we'll be back.

This is a great place to shop for a vehicle! This is the second time I've bought a vehicle there. Don was very kind and helpful and went above an beyond the call of duty to get me approved, I have poor credit an he was able to still get me approved on my terms within my limits! Derrick was a very helpful an kind salesman not pushy or jumped on you the second you stepped out of your car like most sales lots. My experiences there have been awesome they're very on top of being willing to fix things that go wrong with the vehicles no matter how big or small! I would recommend anyone I know or people I don't know for that matter!!!

I had a wonderful experience at this used car dealership. I stopped by on a Saturday to check out a Red 4Runner they had listed on Craig's List. When I arrived, Dave was attentive and answered all my questions. I did not make a purchase that day.I returned the next day to arrange taking the SUV out for a pre-purchase inspection. I worked with Don this day. Don was more than willing to let me take the 4Runner and made it super easy. I had the car for a couple hours. It passed with flying colors for a 200,000 mile SUV. Always do a pre-purchase inspection for an AS-IS used car.Anyway, I returned to meet with Don. There were a few regular maintenance items that needed to be attended to that the mechanic found so I began negotiating with Don based on that fact. He was very professional and in the end I got a great deal. The paperwork took about 10 minutes and I drove away with a great SUV.Thank you Don & Dave for a great experience.

Bought a 2005 Ford F-150 from them and 7 months later the engine had to be replaced. I know Oregon doesn t have a lemon law, but when I called them to see if they had any ideas on how to help me get out of the truck they didn t care at all. I wouldn t suggest buying from the because they clearly don t care about their customers after the purchase.

Left Dave Economy Auto so happy I still can't believe it. Them being a CUDL lot helped but they made my experience a complete breeze! I was in a very time sensitive situation and when I found the car I was interested in- they are quite a distance from me so they took care of everything before I even went down there, It was maybe 2 hours the day before and then walked in the next morning and was out of there in 35 minutes! Don was absolutely amazing what he did to go out of his way to make sure I was happy and leaving feeling comfortable was almost surprising- especially they way I was feeling after the experience I had at the previous lot I dealt with. People are already asking me how I got so lucky and I am gladly bragging about Dave's Economy Auto! Thanks again!

We needed a quality, affordable vehicle for our child's first ride. After weeks of searching, Dave's had exactly what we were looking for. Don't think you are going to go in there and haggle some ridiculous price. Dave's hasn't been in business in the west hills for decades by selling junk. We got a fair deal and I believe you will as well.

Very overpriced. Asked what they used to determine car value, nada, or kbb. They said they dont use those to price their cars because it is not accurate, they said they just come up with prices off the top of their heads. Kbb and nada said the price for theCars value was tops 7k, they wanted 10k.We walked away. Not going to over pay for a vehicle.

Asked about an advertised car via email, received an unprofessionally brief response with no signature so I m not sure who within the company I was talking to. If you re a dealership selling a hybrid car and have no history on the hybrid battery but don t have testing done or warranty for the hybrid battery, that s sloppy and suspect. I did not feel comfortable buying here.

Very friendly and helpful crew here at Dave's. Knowledgeable on their products and had a lot of cars to choose from. I didn't buy from them today, but they went the extra mile and took down notes on what I was looking for and offered to call me if they find it!

Bought a vehicle, Safari Van, from here about a month ago. Week one problems with transmission, power windows, power locks, heater. One month problems with sliding door actually falling off hinges. Went back in to speak to them about issues, and shrug shrug.. sorry can't help you. I have bought many used vehicles in the past, and never experienced this many problems within such a short timeframe. You've been warned!

Bought a car here and one month later I now need a new transmission. I am no longer able to drive to school. They obviously knew what was wrong with the car and were able to scam me into buying it. While I was buying the car he raised the price up $1000 and said it was posted wrong. DO NOT buy a car here!

Overpriced beater cars with no warranty. ..When you buy it it is worth 5 grand, no negotiations.....When it blows a motor 11 months later it has no trade in value what so ever....I would recommend taking your buisness elsewhere....
