This is the first review I've written for a business. It's not my thing. However, buying a car is a huge investment and it's important people don't get ripped off as I have in the past. I bought my car from them about 4 months ago and it's gone through the worst of the winter. That said: Ready Motors was relaxed and easy to work with. No high pressure sales, and they let me take my time thoroughly inspecting the car I was considering. I did feel a little nervous, because the place is small, deals in used cars, and I've been burned before. Thus the almost rudely thorough inspection. The car in question was a 2013 Honda Fit with only 6k miles. Sounds good, but it had been totaled and given a salvage title. Not that you could tell. I did my due diligence and found that it had had one entire side of paneling completely destroyed. (It was a salvage due to the complete repair cost of essentially superficial damage being higher than the purchase price) Victor was very upfront about this. However, I couldn't tell. Not at all. Ready Motors had restored the car (using a door from a '12 or '11 Fit?) to essentially new condition, had it inspected, and re-titled. I really couldn't tell that it had ever been damaged, and that's after having seen the pictures from the salvage auction site. Internally, everything seemed brand new. I bought the car at a price that was high for a salvage, but very, very low for the actual condition of the vehicle. No finance option, but I was able to pay out of pocket, and he took my literally undrivable former car (I lost a belt on the way over) at a very reasonable exchange. There were some immediate problems discovered, but they were minor and Ready Motors fixed them without complaint or question (a tail light wasn't working and a tire had a gouge). Since then I haven't had a single issue with the vehicle and it's handled the winter and my 80+ miles per day very well. I'd recommend Ready Motors to a friend, and I'd recommend it to you. If something does go wrong, I'll update this, but it won't be too much longer before the things that are wrong are all my own fault. Update: I saw this review while recommending Ready Motors for my girlfriend. Thought I'd edit some of my mistakes and update that the car is still running well. Aside from damage received in an accident, it still feels like I bought a new car from them.
