Mirage Auto Sales

I recently purchased a 2013 mustang and I’m very pleased with the purchase! I had spent weeks looking online but they were all over priced and over my budget. I found the mustang online at mirage auto sales and decided to call. Reza is the owner and was very honest and helpful from the start. The car was a great deal and he even helped get it pre inspected before I bought it. After the inspection the only thing wrong was all of the brake pads were low and Reza offered to replace them all! Not only did I get a great deal on the car I had been wanting for awhile, but I got brand new brake pads as well. If you’re looking for a used car definitely check this place out, Reza can help you find a good car in your budget!

I purchased two new luxury vehicles from Reza Tavakoli in 2015, and I’m extremely pleased with my purchases. Reza sells quality vehicles to fit your needs and gets you great deals/​savings to fit your budget. I saved lots of $$$ with my purchases from Reza. Initially I was bit skeptical since he’s a small car dealer, but with extensive research I came to know he’s got a good reputation for car sales and capable to deliver similar high quality vehicles as big dealers on the market. Unlike other car salesman, Reza is honest and upfront with his customers. He will not deliver an inferior product just to boost up his sales, and by talking with him you get to know he’s a person who cares about his reputation and makes a conscientious effort to provide quality service to his customers. Going forward I will always purchase my vehicles from Reza for reasons of trust, honesty, savings, quality and his stellar service. Thank you, Reza!

Let me start with saying Thank You Reza! I have been shopping for an F250 or F350 since June and I have seen many for sale, but this is the only place that caught my eye. I actually went into look at a different truck Reza had on the lot not even knowing the truck I actually bought was even there. I have to say that Reza is a very open and personable person and does not try lie or sell you a lemon of a vehicle. He is definitely not the typical, sleezeball over eager, will sell what ever crap they can to make the sale, used car salesman. Reza was very honest in my dealings with him, he worked with me on the price to fit my needs and I am very satisfied with the service I received from him. Just by talking with him over the phone I was convinced that he was a good person and he takes care of his customers, so much so that I drove all the way from the San Fernando Valley up in Los Angeles to buy from him. If I am ever in the market for a used car I will not hesitate to shop here again, no matter the drive, I know I’m in good hands and a piece of mind and trustworthy owner is priceless. My family was not with me when I purchased my 05/​F250 with tons of extras, but when they saw what I brought home the excitement on their was well worth it. Thank you again Reza I am very pleased with the truck and I would recommend Mirage Auto Sales to anyone if your in the need of a quality used vehicle. Well worth the 5 stars!

I hate car salesmen. With a passion. I honestly can’t believe I am writing a positive review, but this place deserves it! My husband and I were looking for a Jetta TDI. We went to several dealerships and left all of them frustrated. One tried to sell us a recently stolen car that just wasn’t running right, the others weren’t sure what all they actually had in stock etc etc etc. This is not a place I would have picked to look, but it had two said cars on the lot. The owner was not overbearing, was courteous, and friendly. We took the car out for a spin, negotiated the price and brought her home. Why the 5 star review? After we bought the car, we realized that she was missing her spare and tools. Without skipping a beat, the owner immediately put them in and apologized… honestly, he didn’t need to as we were buying it as is. Car came with a warranty which it hasn’t needed since it runs like a new car. If we need another used vehicle, we will start here first. We came here on the first day of our «hunt» and I was sure I would regret the quick decision. Nothing has made me regret it, and I am thrilled with the purchase. Thanks Mirage, we love «Silver Beauty aka Gretta the Jetta»

Had to write a review on this place. Have to agree with Brandi, make sure that you get the car inspected or bring your own mechanic to check it out. You are buying a USED car. He gives you a full day to take it to the dealership, and if any problems are found he gets them fixed for you before you purchase the car. The cars also comes with a 3 month/3,000 mile power train warranty, not a lot of used car lots give you a warranty. Just recently purchased a 07 525i from them and couldn’t be happier. Of course I took it to the BMW dealership to have a pre sale inspection and had one sensor that needed to be replaced. Reza had it replaced for me, at the dealership and showed me the receipt of the part and labor cost. Of course with it being a BMW and getting it done at the stealership it cost $ 1100 but I didn’t pay a penny of that. Reza is a great, as Long as you do your part in making sure the car is in good working condition, he will do his. He also has the carfax info for every car on the lot. Great service, I love my car, looking forward to going back and purchasing another car from them soon.

Do not buy a car from this place, they sold me a lemon. Only gave me two days to bring back the truck, on the 8^th day started having problems took it to a ford dealer they found all kinds of problems. The guy at Mirage told me to bring it back to him they had it for three days claimed he fixed the one of the issues (not all of the problems) now its not running have not even had it back for a week! Oh ya the guys at ford told me that there was no way they could not have known about all the issues that the truck has!!! I am going to have the truck fixed and sue for the cost of repair. DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THIS PLACE!!! They will shake your hand while pissing down your leg. I would have giving 0 rating but 1 star is as low as it goes!!! Don’t forget u can have people write u reviews to make u look good.

I want to write a responce to Wade. S from Oceanside 1* Review… 1^st off… When you are buying a USED car. ALWAYS take it to get a PPI… I also bought a car from him a month ago… I have only seen/​heard/​great things…
2. When you have a warrenty… which his cars come with… HE WILL REPLACE THEM! I can tell from your review that you are a challenging person and probably didn’t take this situation properly…
3. GET A FREAKING PPI on a car. you probably would have 1… got money knocked off the car… 2… wouldn’t have purchased the car…
Your fault for not getting the car Pre-​Inspected like Reza RECCOMENDS for all his vehicles… along with allowing you to take the car for a FULL day… I have a feeling you didn’t really take advantage of Rezas opportunity very good…
Also, good luck with your law suit when you go to court to explain to them that you didn’t get a used car inspected, along with not continuing to bring the car back to Reza when it is warrantied. He has multiple times by law to fix the car… Or take it to a shop get it fixed and have him pay for it instead of being the typical non-​understanding/​unreasonable jerk that goes Sue crazy…
They are cars, used ones… THEY ARE NOT PERFECT! I know he stands by his word that he will get the car fixed. So let him do that instead of posting a arrogant review to ruin the reputation of his business when you seem to be very unreasonable.
YOUR loss, YOUR fault.

Reza does not fit the usual shady, untrustworthy, vulture-​like mold that car dealers are made out of. My husband found Reza’s posting for a Mercedes-​Benz Sprinter on Craigslist and after speaking with him on the phone we decided to check it out. We were welcomed with the most friendly and knowledgeable salesman. He owns a nice but quaint dealership which specializes in used European made cars. We checked out the car and found it to be in such great shape we were sold… and he even offered to gas it up and detail it for us. We purchased it for our restaurant and don’t regret doing so, such a wise investment. We get compliments on the vehicle all the time. It was such a great purchase and we thank Reza for working with us and being a fair and trustworthy salesperson. Don’t waste your time and get ripped off at the larger dealerships.

I highly recommend visiting Mirage if you’re looking for a car. I had a great experience with Reza — he offers great prices on his vehicles, and is a man of integrity. I took a 4Runner into a third party mechanic to get it inspected prior to purchase, and when they found a leak in the radiator which hadn’t been noticed before, Reza offered to get it fixed for ¼ the cost quoted by the 3^rd party mechanic.
Then when I decided against getting an SUV, Reza went and found a Camry with low miles at an auction.
It was a pleasure to work with such an honest and sincere person.

The owner, Reza, is an honest, knowledgeable, and kind hearted person. Tell him what you need, and he’ll tell it how it is. Great experience at Mirage. Highly recommended.

Reza is a good and honest man. He gave me an excellent price on a 2011 Subaru Outback… haggle free. It was such a better experience than going to the dealership. It was a refreshing experience. This dealership will NOT cheat you. Call the dealership and ask for Reza. You’ll quickly get the impression that he’s a trustworthy individual. It’s hard to find to people like him in this line of business. I will recommend Mirage to all my family and friends.

Excellent place for your exotic auto needs. Purchased a MB CLK 500 from Reza about three weeks ago. I’m very happy with a purchase and how I was treated from start to end. I would definitely use them again for future auto needs.

I purchased a 2010 Audi A4 from Reza at Mirage Auto sales at the beginning of Dec. ’13. It has been almost two months since I purchased my Audi and I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER!
My father had purchased a Mercedes from Reza a few year ago and he highly recommended I take a look at the Mirage Auto inventory. Once I had select the car I was interested in Reza was very fair and upfront about the vehicle and it’s condition. He gave me a great deal for a great car. I had a short sweet and simple buying experience all around and would highly recommend Reza & Mirage Auto.

I live in San Francisco and found a 2012 Ford Mustang at Mirage Auto for about 3k less than the local dealers.. I have never bought a car remotely, but the salespeople at Mirage made it so logical and forthright for me. Reza, the owner had me contact the Local Ford Dealer and the car checked out fine. I got it shipped up to San Fran for a very inexpensive amount ($ 300) and the car was in great condition… and I saved approximately 3k by buying it there compared to the other dealers here. I really feel that I was treated in such a fair manner by Reza and I will not hesitate to buy another car through him again. He resets the standard for high quality used car dealers. Bob Perez, M.D.

reza is the most honest and straight forward car dealer i have ever known. I bought a ford diesel from him for a great price much lower than even private party sales. he got it from an auction. it had high miles and he suggested i get it looked at by a mechanic before i bought it. so i did and it checked out good except for some oil leaks and a rear diff that needed to be serviced. we made a deal where he would pay for the repairs and i bought it. he was able to get his diesel mechanic to fix it by the next day. 2 days later it would not start. i told reza and he did not hesitate to get that repaired as well. it turned out to be a IPR valve. even though i purchased the ford «as is» he told me he does not do business like that and made sure it was taken care of even if it was not his responsibility. He even told me if i ever had problems in the future god forbid he said we could work with each other to take care of it. what a great guy.

My intention was to get a 2011 VW Jetta. I got to San Diego from Europe and my experiences with autodealers are very rare. I was scared of being exploited. I saw an attractive offer by Mirage Auto Sales, so I got there to check it out. That’s where I met Raze. He is a very honest person who told me everything about the car. He even gave me very good advice for finding the right car and showed me how the dealer business in the in the US works. I felt comfortable and clarified about the car. He didn’t try to push me at all in order to make a deal and gave me a lot of time to decide. I would recommend him as an extremely trustful dealer!
Sadly, in the end, I didn’t buy the car because it wasn’t the right purchase for me.

I did not by a car here but did stop into view the inventory during my search. Reza was very helpfull and was a straight shooter. He also gave me a great piece of advise. He said «whether you buy from me or someone else don’t trust anyone and get a pre purchase inspection’. He then said if I chose to buy a car from him he would split the cost of that inspection. While he did not have what I was looking for he had a nice inventory.

Reza is one of the best used car auto dealers I have had the pleasure of dealing with EVER!
I have purchased at least 5 automobiles in the past 12 years from BMW, three Mercedes, Saab, VW Jetta, and the experience has been outstanding. I have recommended him to over 10 friends/​family members and all of them have been extremely pleased with his service and professionalism.
He has the lowest prices, great service, and professionalism that went far beyond the ordinary. I would highly recommend Mirage Auto Sales and is the ONLY place I look for used automobiles.

I should have written this review long ago, but better late than never.
About 3.5 years ago I was the in the market for an Infiniti G35 6MT and found one on craigslist through Mirage Auto. The price was lower than most private sales and the mileage was extremely low, so I was skeptical. When I called, they said someone had already committed to buy it but was waiting on financing, so I continued looking. They later called back and told me that the guy’s financing had fallen through and the car was available.
I went over there and they were very helpful. The salesman, Reza, showed it to me and then gave me some time to look it over without hassling me. We took it out on a test drive and I loved it. When we got back, I asked to take it to a dealer for their inspection and he offered to take the cost off my price if I bought it. I had Kearny Mesa Infiniti do their full inspection for about $ 120, during which they tried to sell me on the same cars at their place that were 5−7K higher in price. The inspection came out clean except for needing new drive belts eventually and the dealership told me I should buy it or they would at the price it was going for.
When we got back to the dealership, Reza offered to knock off some money for the eventual drivebelt replacement. I asked if he knew when the last oil change was and since he didn’t know, he knocked a bit more off the price to cover that. I decided to buy it and had my bank send payment. The one remaining detail was how to deal with my rental car. Reza offered to drive my new car down to the airport so I could drop off my rental car and not have to deal with the hassle of returning it.
I was very happy with the experience and 3.5 years later I am still happily driving the same car with no problems. Mirage Auto is great — great cars, fair prices, and honest salesmen.

Reza is a great owner. He straight talks with you and let’s you know exactly what you’re buying. I just bought a 2002 BMW 325xi wagon from him after getting a Pre-​Purchase Inspection done by Marco-​Polo BMW in La Jolla (see my review for them as well). I had a few issues with the car and Reza agreed to fix them and offered a warranty on one of the issues that bothered me the most. BMWs have certain issues that are fairly common and only people that know BMWs know these particular issues because they’ve had to do it before! Reza was up front about the condition and what had/hadn’t been done that he KNEW about. After the PPI was done, there weren’t any surprises and Marco himself said it was in really great condition.
A lot of people think used car salesmen are always trying to fool them or fluff up the condition of the car. Anything I saw wrong they looked at it right then and there, no questions asked. It was almost like having a mechanic right there with you. The deal was much better than any comparable wagon I was looking at. I only test drove two cars, but I looked at 5 in person and was looking for MONTHS online. I didn’t negotiate price at all because it was literally a great deal already.
I will not hesitate to do business here again and I told him I’d be back as soon as it’s time to get my girlfriend newer car. He understands professionalism, Karma and making buyers repeat customers. If you read my other reviews, those are the most important factors in a good business.
Also, when I was there, a guy pulled up in a nice newer luxury car to talk to Reza about a car he was looking for. It seems like that guy wanted to do business with Reza and was willing to wait for him to find a car. Most people HATE their used car salesperson as soon as they walk off the lot.
