My girlfriend and I bought a Subaru Legacy from Ideal cars a couple months ago and we love it!
The car was low-mileage and well taken care of, and was everything we were looking for in a new (used) car. Ralph was our salesman, and we found him to be very forthcoming and accommodating to our questions about the cars on the lot. We really appreciated his input while we test drove cars, since it helped to have another person to identify (potential) issues with the cars we drove.
Shayne is a great guy. He helped us purchase the car plus auto insurance for exactly the price we were willing to pay. I have a lot of respect for these guys, since it’s obvious to me that they care a lot about their reputation with customers, and the quality of their services. They’re the nicest car salesman I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting!
Thanks again guys.

l was fortunate to purchase a Japanese import Subaru from Ideal Cars. The vehicle was superbly prepared and presented and exceeded my expectations you buy is safe and with the attention to detail. Ideal Cars are in my opinion an example to all other dealers with their friendly, business-like operation and efficiency. I know where I will be looking when it comes to replacing my vehicle.

Hi there. I bought a very cute little red Nissan Note from Shayne and the team at Ideal Cars, last November 2013. Their service was great, with the least amount of stress possible during the process. When I picked up my new car it was sooo Clean and spotless some people asked me whether it was a 2013 model. That pleased me as it is a 2005 model, this was partly due to the great valet man.
