Super easy to sell your car here, and was offered a very fair price. No hassle, unlike other places I had visited. Would highly recommend.

Worked with Louis and he was a complete professional. He appraised my vehicle, bought it and had a check ready for me in 15 minutes. Process was very easy and comfortable.

Lewis was great and the whole experience was incredibly pleasant. If you're thinking of buying or selling your car, call these guys, they've been around since 1929 for a very good reason! I also forgot a very nice pair of sunglasses and they were quick to get them to me. Wonderful service, cannot recommend enough.

Met with Louis via Kelly Blue Book, wanted to sell my vehicle and didn't know what to expect really when I headed out to the dealer but the transaction was quick and smooth. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, thanks a lot guys

Sold my lease 2019 Forester Touring. Louis is very nice even I had to haggle abit. But I still got the best price over others. You have to know the condition of your car and where you stand. Cashed the check same day. They paid off my lease 4 days later. I was very skeptical about this place in the beginning because their quote is the highest and other bad reviews. But after doing some research, I decided get it a try, worst case is call the cops, lol. Great experience! Recommend to all.

Louis was nice and easy to work with. The entire process of selling our used Mazda took less than 30 minutes and he offered the best price. We had a very pleasant experience and would recommend to anyone else looking to sell their used car.

What a pleasure to do business with Ideal Auto. I needed to sell my car and used KBB.com, which gave me a price for it and two local dealers who would pay it. With no working phone (thanks, Verizon!) and no cell service in my rural area, Ideal worked with me over FaceTime and we discussed how their man could get my car. I enjoyed working with Louis, who answered all my questions promptly and forthrightly.
Everything worked as scheduled. His bonded driver came to pick it up, inspected it, and I took him for a short ride so he could see how it drives. Then Louis and I negotiated the price (there was a minor deduction because of an area of peeling paint, and I received the check on the spot. If I ever need another car, I would use Ideal again.
