North City Motors

Great transaction from these guys. They saved us money on our trade-​in by accurately diagnosing the maintenance problem we’d been having with it, and were very straightforward about what its value would be with and without the repair we’d been planning – pretty much exactly the same. They even came and picked up the trade-​in from our house! A very chill, no-​pressure no-​shenanigans purchase of a car that we still love. A huge difference from the dealerships we’d visited before North City.

The engine went out on the vehicle I bought from them within a week. The only time it went over 2k rpm was on the freeway merging or going 60−65mph.
You might have better luck than I did.
I would recommend to avoid them.
I read and largely agree with Marina’s review. He is kind of like his dudeness. They are laid back and easy to talk to.
But they’ll sell you a shit car if it makes them a couple bucks. Worst purchase of my life.

John, the owner, is the most chill dude. He actually reminds me of The Dude. You know … The Big Lebowski Dude. Anyway, yeah, he’s super easy to talk to and deal with. Kind of the opposite of a used car dealer dude. More like a dude selling a surfboard. «Oh yeah, it needs more wax. Hang on. I’ll have our wax dude wax it right away, brah.» Like that. We bought a Passat Wagon because I freakin’ love them and had one before but an Elk took it out on the road leading to Spokane. Poor elk. No no. he lived. Ran off. The Passat was totaled. I just feel sorry that he lives in Spokane. Ha!
Our Passat from The Dude needed some adjustments like a window motor and he had it all squared away. He ordered some parts and we also wanted some major stuff done since we have a little kid and didn’t want to deal with it on the side of the road. These cars have to have new timing belts changed at 100k. Good thing we did too because their mechanic charged us about a fourth of what a dealership would have charged! We got a nice loaner car too. The wagon has low miles but we bought extended warranty which everyone should on a used car anyway. Right? Right. Now all I need is new rims and tinted windows and then its Surfs Up! Actually, more like Mountains Up!
There are some sweet deals there, dude :)
