When buying a used car, there are more important things than just the cost of the vehicle. 

Damage and repair issues can be deal breakers, and disreputable dealers may not disclose them before the sale. 

On the other hand, a reputable dealer will provide you with all of the info you need on a car - CarFax, a pre-purchase inspection, and warranties are all benefits that good used car dealerships offer. 

Finding a dealership that will walk you through the process and provide details about any car’s history will make finding your next pre-owned simple.

 We’ve dug through reviews, read customer testimonials and complaints, called, emailed, and shown up to the dealerships in order to find the best used car dealerships in Dallas, TX.

Address: 11501 Northwest Hwy, Dallas, TX 75218

Phone number: 214-348-2100

Specialty: High-mileage vehicles

Reviews: 4.7 on Google Reviews (400+ reviews)

Website: https://www.bigtexautomart.com/

Big Texas Auto Mart has a great selection of used cars, trucks, and SUVs. Their salespeople were quick to respond and friendly without being pushy, and were happy to help us look through their inventory to find a car that matched our goals and answer questions about the vehicles on the lot. 

We even scheduled a video walk-through of the vehicle we were looking at - the online shopping experience was much easier than some competing dealerships, so feel free to check out their selections on the internet before going to the dealership in person. 

People who have been denied elsewhere find that they can get approved for a reasonably priced quality vehicle thanks to in-house financing options. However, CoPilot always encourages car shoppers to get quotes from at least 3 different banks or lending sources before buying a used car.

4. Auto City Credit

Address: 120 S Buckner Blvd, Dallas, TX 75217

Phone number: 972-674-2772

Specialty: Transparent financing

Ratings: 4.6 on Google Reviews (900+ reviews)

Website: https://www.autocitycredit.com/

Auto City Credit is exactly what it sounds like - a ‘buy here pay here’ dealership offering flexible financing for people with poor credit scores. However, unlike some of their competitors, Auto City Credit is very transparent about their financing options, and their cars come with a 2-year, 24,000 mile warranty, which is hard to beat!

We scheduled a conversation with their sales and finance teams to see how we were treated - the salespeople quickly guided us to a great vehicle that was slightly lower than our budgeted amount, and the financing team was very open in discussing the options available, and ensure that you’re well-informed about your financing options before agreeing to anything. We’d also recommend asking to see a breakdown of how much you’ll pay in interest over the lifetime of the loan, so you know exactly how much you’re paying for your used car.

Their down payments are reasonable for any vehicle on their lot. The salespeople are very thorough and build trust with their buyers well after the sale is done - we spoke with several agents and never got even a hint of ‘scammy car dealer’ vibes - everything is clearly explained and on paper.  When you come back for service or for your next vehicle, they are always happy to greet and help you, no matter how busy they are.

5. RPM Garage

Address: 11450 Sprowles St, Dallas, TX 75229

Phone number: 972-590-8689

Specialty: Classic cars, luxury cars

Ratings: 4.8 on Google Reviews, 250+ reviews

Website: https://rpmgaragetx.com/

The secret to RPM Garage is that everyone on their sales team is a car enthusiast, and this definitely shows in their selection. 

While not the best place to find a family sedan, RPM Garage is one of the best dealerships in Dallas for classic, luxury, and other ‘off-the-beaten-path’ cars. If you’re looking for something that stands out from the crowd, go check out the listings at RPM - they’ve got some surprising hidden gems at great prices, practicality be damned!

6. BBC Motorsports

Address: 1320 Chemical St B2, Dallas, TX 75207

Phone number: 214-905-6100

Specialty: CPOs, great remote buying process

Ratings: 4.8 on Google Reviews (300+ reviews)

Website: https://www.bbcmotorsports.com/

BBC Motorsports is a fixed-pricing (a.k.a “no haggle”) dealership, but their prices are so reasonable you won’t find many opportunities to complain. There’s no secret to BBC’s competitive pricing - they’re very selective in their purchasing and reconditioning process, so you can be assured that every car on their lot is a better-than-average deal. 

Pair that with a great support staff and a very easy remote buying process and you’ve got one of the best dealerships in Dallas. If you’re looking for a 3-5 year old luxury car with low mileage and a great warranty (and you really should be, those are the best kinds of used cars to buy), BBC Motorsports is the place. 

7. 5 Stars Auto Sale

Address: 3013 S Westmoreland Rd, Dallas, TX 75233

Phone number: 972-803-1099

Specialty: Low-priced vehicles

Ratings: 4.9 on Google Reviews, 100+ reviews

Website: https://www.5starsautosale.com/

If you’re looking to buy a secondhand car in cash, this is the place to go. They don’t have an in-house financing department, so you’ll need to go through a bank to finance a purchase. They make up for it with the cost of their vehicles, which are always below retail. If you’re into the DIY car shopping experience, or are knowledgeable enough about used cars to know safe deals when you see them, 5 Stars Auto might be for you. 

While every vehicle comes with a CarFax report, we highly recommend also getting a pre-purchase inspection to find any issues with the car before you buy it. 5 Star Auto will fix any issue you or your mechanic find without raising the cost of the sale, making sure you’re satisfied when you drive off the lot.
