The worst business and people I've ever dealt with. I live an hour away. Called and talk to a man, who told me that they would hold a car til I got there. I found sitter for my kids and left and called on the way to let them know I was coming. When get there I'm told that a guy just gave them a check for it and it's gone. Some very rude people do NOT do business with them.

Bought a 2009 Subaru Outback and customer service was awful. They seemed abrasive and unprofessional. The car barley lasted 3 weeks until the head gasket blew and car was bricked. Never will buy a car here again. Dangerous cars.

Got a car here. It was a death trap after we had it after a week. We had taken it back to have them fix it. They didn’t do anything. Then we went to midas. They said the car shouldn’t even be drove around because there was so many problems. Never will I ever buy a car here.

You aren’t even able to get past a phone call with these people. We don’t know much about cars and simply asked if they had used tires, they rudely said “Um duh?” like we are supposed to know that. Then put 2 different people on the phone to tell us they had none after making us wait 10 mins on the phone.

I bought an Impala for nearly $4k... even one from that year in it's BEST condition is KBB'd at $2k - way overpriced there and I don't think they even inspect their vehicles. I had to replace: all of the brakes, the thermostat, the motor mounts, the transmission mount. I had to do a flush on the coolant system, power steering, transmission, and change the oil. I had to replace the resonator and also the solenoids in the transmission and then add a shift kit for 1st/2nd. I have needed to replace the tires as well, but with all of the money I have had to sink into the car, I have yet to be able to afford it. Just really sucks because I spent all day looking at vehicles and I HAD to have one that day, sad that this was my best option.

Just bought my dad a car on Saturday, everything seems to be well with the Jeep as of today. Dad enjoyed visiting with Perry, the salesman. They went and retrieved my dad's truck from Pat McGrath at no extra charge and the sale was simple.

Just run away. After buying my 07 Expedition from here I noticed it was on their Facebook for 1500 less. I have dumped a lot of money in this. I had to replace the engine in less than a year of owning it. Just stay away. If you buy from here you are guaranteed a junky car. They will fix as little as possible and get them on the lot. Learn from my mistake. Just run. Got to Hawkeye Auto or Rossco. I had great luck with both dealers for a cheap car. They have lasted many years without a ton of money put in. The engine was bad on the lot and making the usually 5.4 Triton timing chain and cam phaser noises.

Got my first car here in 2010 @ 132k Miles and the car lasted till early 2014 at 187k Miles so all in all the car lasted me long enough for an 3 star rating. Although when i bought the car the side mirror were GLUED on which i shortly replaced both brand new ones for $30. Went back there the other day as looking for a new vehicle and wow their price to mileage of a car is Waaay high. I felt like all of the cars here are way over priced. And they do the "follow you around and try to convince you to buy a car thing" which I find annoying and pushy after I told them i was just looking. Car lasting ill give them 3 stars Prices 1 star customer service 2 stars

I went with someone to buy a car here. Within the first year that person had over 2 grand in repairs. The car had 100,000 miles on it. The struts were bad, the air conditioning went out, the heat went out, among other things. Basically, it was a straight up lemon. I would never buy a car there. Beware!

WARNING, DO NOT BUY A CAR HERE! Bought my daughters first car here. Next day it wouldn't start. It seemed like a battery issue do I replaced the battery. It ran for a day and once again would not start. Took it to them told them the problem. The owner told me I probably didn't connect the battery correctly. After three days I called them as they had not called me. They said the car was working fine. We went and got it, next day it doesn't start. I start going through thre list of what it could be. Change out starter relay , works for a day , change it ignition , no change. Replace starter. At this point I go back and talk to the owner again, tell him I want my money back the car has only started about 4 times in two weeks. That I would gladly buy another car from them just that this one obviously slipped through somehow. He told they don't do that , it's my car now. That things happen, it was fine when they had it. The owner told me I had no legal course but that they would look at it again. Couple days go by they call said it was fixed, went in there and they told me the starter relay was bad, I explained the situation. They said to call if it happens again and then charged me $40. They also gave me another key saying that maybe the key was the cause. Next day it didnt start again, call them up tell them, they tell me it needs to go to their electrical guy but it will be a few days before he can look at it, couple days go by, car starts and I bring it to them. They had it for 2 weeks and say that there was a loose wire in the main fuse panel. I took the keys and left. Next day it happened again. I called 4 guys auto and set an appointment. They called the next day and told me that someone had destroyed the wiring in the dash, that there was no way wherever sold me this didn't know it had problems, but that they had fixed it. If you are looking for a reliable used car go to 4 guys. The owner of Meranda is a con.

Grandson got his first car here about a week ago. Waited to do review to see if all went well and it has. Vehicle is sound with no issues other than wiper blades. Bottom line, good mileage, good shape and no issues.

We bought our van in July of 2021 and it’s still going. We knew to expect some issues as it is an older car and used, but overall we have been pleased with the purchase.

My Dad and I bought this vehicle, and it was a lemon. They sold us this vehicle with a broken transmission. My dad tried to take to take the vehicle back once he realized it had problems. The battery was broken, transmission was bad. The power switch for the doors were broken. The air conditioner was broken. He refused to take the vehicle back. The vehicle over heated, the oil light came on. Numerous issues continued, I had to pay for. The company refused to take the vehicle back, trade it in after they knew they sold me a lemon. Ultimately, I had to pay 7,000$ in repairs. As a final insult, the title is no good. It can't be registered. They refuse to talk to me, he refused to work with me. These people are not professional. They will sell you a lemon and will not refund your money. Don't use this company, they will take your money, and sell you a lemon.

Worst up front business practices they sells LEMONS a close acquaintance of mine purchased a vehicle in July. Within a few days, the vehicle exhibited significant issues, primarily with the transmission. Upon contacting the dealership, a representative responded and advised me to visit Cedar Rapids Transmission. It is concerning that a vehicle with a faulty transmission was sold, as this raises questions about the professionalism and ethics of the dealership. Consequently, I am now faced with substantial repair costs exceeding three thousand dollars.

All day we had been going from dealer to dealer with no luck. Then up over the hill peeked the Mirandas sign. We agreed on one more stop. We pulled up and saw it immediately. We ran over to it, ooo'd and ahh'd. The salesman ran outside and threw me the keys. We took off and fell in love with the car. Back at the dealership, we exchanged the money for the keys and we were off. We were there maybe a half an hour. It was a smooth and seamless experience. Highly recommend Mirandas.
