1st Choice Auto Sales

Drove all the way from Greensboro NC to test drive a 2013 Tiguan with 50k+ under its belt.
We had called couple of weeks before and told them we were coming.
As we arrived, they brought the car to the front, just in case you were wondering why we drove 3+ hours to test drive it, MANUAL TRANSMISSION BABY!
Anyway, let me continue, we both drove the vehicle, some cosmetics dings, cruise control doesn't work, some covers missing, tires ok...well guess what, it's park on our driveway.
Dealing with 1st Choice was a breeze, they were professional and honest.
We got a great car

I had a great experience here with Steve, Eddie and Edwin. They were all very helpful, no rush, no pressure sales here. They have wide variety of quality cars and reasonable prices. I've bought 2 cars here and recommended this dealership to anyone looking for a pre-owned car.

Best choice I have ever made! 10/1 experience got my car same day and they even had mechanic check out one last time before I left the lot.

As 19 year old student in college I was grateful to run into this well oriented community. I've been searching for the past year to find a car to suit my needs and could not find anyone at first to help me. I was desperate and even ended up going to other dealerships where my credit was ran through and was only given offers for cars that moderately to severe damaged but here I was treated like family. Im glad to buy my first car from 1st Choice Auto Sales and I recommend any other students to do business with this dealership.

I was helping my son find the car he loves, a Lexus LS430 2001. We were pleased to find three of these vehicles on their lot and that the owner loves that model as well. The sales people were all very friendly and helpful. The sales transaction was easy and fast. I was impressed with this auto sales business.

definitely your typical used car sales lot would screw you over to make a quick buck.
basically if anyone from Virginia bought the car that i bought (was already virginia inspected), theyd time to find out their brakes immediately need changing. thankfully i am from maryland, and i had to get my car inspected prior to registering it, which showed the issue w the brakes (2/30 to be exact). now maybe it's because their own shop couldn't get the front wheels off (so incredibly rusted on a real shop had a struggle getting them off), and maybe that's why they didn't do the brakes. also the dip stick for trans and engine oil look like they may have been replaced prior to the car being listed for sale. for a 06 corolla w 86k miles that was $8.5k (9.5 including fees), and barely passing front brakes where as i went to a literal trailerhome dealer in rockville maryland and got a 03 corolla 170k miles, $4k with more up to date brakes. really embarrassing if you ask me, especially since this car was more than likely going to be sold to a virginia resident, who wouldn't have gotten it reinspected, therefor brakes could have gone out on them without them knowing that was a replacement needed very soon after purchase. not to mention the carfax report showed before this dealer bought the car, it was maryland owned, meaning they had to get it virginia inspected prior to selling it, and they were fully and didn't disclose. don't shop here unless you have your own solid mechanic. yes it's a gamble when buying used cars, but this stuff was purposely hidden to make a quick buck.

But welcome to the world of used cars, flip it spending as little as possible shining up someone's used

The only person who was able to help us with what we were looking for, and willing to make reasonable negotiations was a young man named "Ya-ya."

The car was great, the battery was not. and considering we needed to get it inspected in a different state should have also been a deal breaker to bring down the price.

The older man with glasses told us, who I'm assuming was the owner: "If it doesn't pass MD inspection, bring it back and we'll fix it guarantee so it passes"

But shouldn't your cars already be inspection ready..? The battery was already weak. Ya ya said be would replace it for free. Thank you.

2012 Honda Civic with 63k miles an after market radio that even drains the battery more than the engine itself.. that's probably why they sold the car.

Won't be coming back here.

That man was getting too smart and too rude and I saw that man talking about us as soon as we left just because we wanted a few hundred off a $8,900 car that was $10,500 out the door.

Ridiculous.
But thanks for your help Ya-ya.

While driving out Fairfax Blvd I noted a red Mustang rag top sitting on this lot that I'd never noticed before. I've been looking all over and nothing had 'lit my fire'. I turned around and parked next door. Looked the car over and it was a beauty. 2008 V6. Low mileage. I contacted them and made a date to look at the car. WOW. Nice ride. Good price and Yahya was an amazingly informed young salesman about this car! He is only 20 but wise beyond his years. Yahya took me to Steve, the Manager who really worked with me. I was able to make a down payment and Steve held the car for me for several days, as I was traveling. Steve has been Mgr since the place opened 11 years ago! He is pleasant, efficient, and has excellent Customer Service skills. After about 10 days, I saw a coolant leak and Steve said to bring it in. I did, Yahya and Abdul (Mechanic) crawled all over the car but couldn't find the leak. After about 2 days it reappeared. My mechanic fixed it (Thermostat Housing), as it wan't part of their actual warranty.

Now if only Virginia DMV would deliver the TAGS I'd be even happier!! Thanks 1st Choice!! JPW

OMG no! I must say that Lesile and Howard were very helpful, but the vehicles are not up to par. I took the 2010 Blk Camero to my mechanic and just from a walk around they found what's in the photo. The 1st thing they noticed was the sticker on the door panel was hand written and the vehicle had HT truck tires on the rear which (they informed me) threw off the alignment. View the photo that I posted, it's interesting. Also, make sure that you always let a mechanic check out a vehicle before you spend your hard earned money. The repairs on this vehicle would have been over 3700 dollars and that was from them walking around the car. 1st Choice wants 10,500 for this lemon. Very disappointing! Beware!

They sell lemons. Do not buy a car from this place. They're very rude. They have a buy as is policy for a reason. The care are jacked up. I had to replace the transmission the first month. DO NOT DO IT
