Santa Monica Europeans

Couldn’t be any happier with my recent experience at this dealership. They offered me a very fair price for my trade in and gave me a good deal on my new vehicle. I was recommended this dealership by one of my good friends and I highly recommend them myself. Thanks again!

Absolutely loved this place!!! Ask for Cyrus! He helped me out in finding the perfect car for my budget! Super great customer service and an all around great experience here.

this is a case where Unilocal did me wrong. i saw all the positive reviews on here and trusted this was a good place to buy a car. boy was i wrong. i think those old reviews was for another business. i don’t know who mike is. cyrus and david cannot be trusted. the car they sold me had thousands and thousands of dollars worth of needed repairs that i had to pay for after i bought the car. the mechanic i took it to basically told me i should try and return the car, which of course cyrus and david refused. as a bonus, the car even came with dangerous bald tires that needed to be replaced immediately. for the record, it’s illegal for a car dealer to sell a car with bald tires. it’s a safety thing. i could have gotten in an accident.
oh, and it turned out like the other reviewer, my car also was in an accident that wasn’t disclosed to me and the body had repairs done that i didn’t realize.
i’m not sure how these guys could have screwed me more.
do not buy a car from this place. and if you ignore my advice, please please have an independent trustworthy mechanic inspect the car before you purchase.

Sold and bought my car here, the service was fast and great! David really helped me out with the pricing on both. I highly recommend Santa Monica Europeans if you’re looking for a great dealership. I’ll definitely be back to buy my next car here. Thanks Again for the great service!!!

DO NOT BUY from Cyrus and Co. I purchased a used car a couple of years ago from them, test drove it, ask if they knew of any accident, minor or major repairs, etc… their answer was no. They provided me some type of report (car check I believe) on the car, all looked good. I filled out all the paper work, sign all the document, and the what do you know the last document to sign is a disclaimer about having repainted the front bumper ??? !!! I should have known better and left the premises at that point, but having spent a couple hours there already giving all my personal info and such I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. WHAT DO YOU KNOW, went to sell the car, and turns out it had a major accident and multiple original parts were changed. How did they manage to make that disappear from the report, i will be investigating that part soon. THIS BUSINESS CAN NOT BE TRUSTED.

Excellent honest service. So happy I came here to purchase my car. Ask for Cyrus. He’s very knowledgeable and made purchasing a vehicle easy and enjoyable. Hands down the best car buying experience I’ve ever had.

I had a great experience buying my car here. Cyrus didn’t pressure me to buy something expensive. I told him my budget and he worked with me.

I went to them before moving up to San Francisco for my car. I’m on a student budget with tons of student loads. David was so great! Gave me a great deal for the car I had my eye on, a BMW x3. This car was so clean, in perfect condition. I had some trouble getting the Bluetooth to work with my phone… I messed with it for a few weeks and couldn’t figure it out. So I took it back and they personally took me to the BMW service station and paid for them to fix it for me. Turned out I just needed a code to link the phone to the car. These guys are so helpful, not your stereotypical car salesmen. They actually care to get you a good quality car. Definitely recommend!!!

Mr. Cyrus called me twice for my previous review.
Sorry for the delay, I was not in town last weekend. And I am not able to answer the phone during work.
Here are the updates:
I went back to David and he paid $ 300 for replacing the tires and I paid for the rest of $ 450.
This is OK, but you should not tell me that the old tiers can hold up for one more year when I bought the car.
And I still insist that if I buy from big dealers, they will give me new tires and full tank of fuel.
The AUX input jack is fixed. I will upload a pic to show how it is fixed.
It is working but I got to made do with how it looks…
My friends, do check the tires and other details if case anything is missed before purchasing.

These guys are experts at deception. After I drove me new low-​mileage BMW 330 for 100 miles 2 different lights came on the dashboard. One was check engine and another yellow warning. I went to a mechanic who connected a code reader and told me it was a transmission part that needed to be replaced. The mechanic also told me that these guys reset the lights previously and that’s why they came on again after 100 miles. I asked the mechanic to reset them again and I was able to confirm this. After contacting Cyrus and David they told me that the car is under warranty BUT they only pay half of the cost to repair it, which what the fine print said on the contract. To take down the transmission of a BMW will cost at least 4k. I didn’t even write about the second engine light which was a separate issue with the engine. If these guys had told me that the car was sold as-​is, I wouldn’t have had a problem with the transaction. But they told me the car was in perfect condition and that their mechanic checked it and it had no problems. Professional Thieves!!!

Best place to buy a used car. Cyrus is a true gentleman. We were nervous about buying our first used car, but this experience was better than we hoped. They are honest, willing to work with you and have great cars. Highly recommend!

If you are looking to purchase a used car, don’t look any where else! I was referred to them through an old friend a while back so I decided to take a look at their cars. Purchasing a car can be very stressful specially when you get pressured by the sales man and feel like you can’t leave the lot unless you buy a car!
It was a different story with this place. I took my time and test drove 9 different cars and after a few days, I finally found my dream car! BMW 328i!!!
They allowed me to take the car and show it to my mechanic before purchasing it. I can’t be happier with my purchase.

I just purchased a vehicle from Santa Monica European and cannot say enough how pleased I am! They are gentleman and honest, a pleasure to do business with. The mechanic (forgot his name) was extremely helpful. He showed me the car and explained the matience/​work he had done. The owner David was able to find exactly what I needed in my car. I paid cash and was able to get an unreal deal. I am happy that I found my vehicle at this convenient and clean facilty, I was able to have the vehicle inspected (passed), return my rental to enterprise, and buy a car all on one block. Bottom line I found a great car at a great spot (you can see the water down the street), with nice frendly and honest people.

I have purchased several used cars from Santa Monica Europeans over the past 6 years. Needless to say I ALWAYS have a first class experience buying from them and look forward to buying from them in the future. David…the owner… is your man. Go in… see
your due diligence and know what you want before you go in. If the quality high line car is not on their well stocked outdoor lot speak with David. Chances are that he can find your dream car at auction if you leave a deposit. Give him your parameters. When the dust settles you should be a happy camper. NEGOTIATE PRICE. This is the place you should NOT walk away from because you WILL get you deal you want.

I recently moved to LA and had to buy my first car, which can be extremely nerve wracking for someone who knows very little about vehicles. I am so happy that I chose to do so with Santa Monica Europeans. The entire process went so smoothly. David was a wonderful, trustworthy and honest salesman who gave me a fantastic and fair price for my car and other services. This dealership genuinely cares about their cars, which differed immensely from other used car dealerships I’ve visited.
I’ve had my MINI Cooper for four months now with zero problems and I am so happy that the supposedly unpleasant experience of buying a car was such a positive one. Although I can’t ever see myself giving up my car (it’s THAT amazing!), if I am in the market for one years from now, I will absolutely go back to this dealership.

Honestly I cant believe I am giving them 5 stars but its true. I have never had a car salesman that was this honest. I knew this car cost more than I had in the bank but i just went to look. It had brand new tires, installed bluetooth (saved me from putting it in), great factory rims, the whole works. I fell in love with the car!!! David was able to finance me with just about the worse credit you could imagine. I did have to put a large deposit down but after all I was buying a Mercedes CL 55 AMG. There was one thing wrong with the SRS seat sensor and David promised to get it fixed. After making his promise we learned that the part alone was $ 900 and there was no aftermarket part. To my surprise he still fulfilled his promise.
I am so happy with my purchase and I can honestly recommend them to my family and friends.

I have purchased few cars over the past 8 years from Santa monica europeans and plan to get another in near future. People here are very nice and knowledgeable and play no games with you. They make sure you drive home the car you love with the best price they can do without putting any pressure on you just to make a sale. They have the best deals, the best looking cars and the best customer service in town.
I had a great experience, I would definitely come back again and highly recommend them to my friends and family.

I purchased my first car from Mike when I graduated college in 2005. Since then I’ve traded that car in with him and purchased 2 more cars over the years. He’s always honest and upfront about the cars and what is best for my budget and needs at the time. He’s always gone the extra mile to make sure I’m driving away in a great fully checked car that will serve me well. I like to be able to change my cars every few years so it’s been great to have a guy I can trust to give me a great deal on both my trade in and my new purchase. Mike and his partner David are always available via phone as well whenever I call in to ask about cars in their updated online inventory. My most recent purchase is an adorable Mini-​Cooper that I’ll be driving for the next few years. Thanks guys.

I came across santa monica european dealer online as, I was searching for a 2007 white BMW I notice it was one the best prices for that particular car online. I stop by to see the car and it was a great car well taken care condition and with navigation to top it off :}Syrus showed me the car and I already got a good vibe from this man. I was very hesitant about this deal and I had build up a trust issue with all dealers due to my last experience with my first new car purchased I thought about it as I had to make a quick decision. I stop by for the second time and I met with David and I also had a very good connection with David as he made me feel I would be taken care of and that his main priotity was the customer. I made the purchased One month ago and they been having great service even after the purchased and the mechanic they have Jerry is genuine and knows whta his doing! I stop by to have my car clean and check complimentary. I’m so happy and highly satisfied with my desicion. Oh and also got me a vey good interst rate. They are really genuine and professdional business people.

I have never had an easier time buying a car! They were so nice and easy to work with! They detailed my car and did everything I asked, without question. Negotiating a price was comfortable and the prices were reasonable. They were not at all into a hard sell. Really appreciated that since I was alone and did not feel pushed.
I never thought I would find the experience enjoyable but they were just great. Very personable. I would highly recommend them and plan to return when I need another car.
Thanks guys!
