Why Tustin Auto Center

The Tustin Auto Center started in 1985 and has been a long time fixture of Orange County. It has slowly added more makes and currently offers Acura, Buick, Cadillac, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Hyundai, INFINITI, Jeep, Lexus, Mazda, Nissan, Ram and Toyota. Our car dealers are committed to not only selling and servicing cars, but to creating an inviting environment for local shoppers. Every one of our dealerships wants to make it easy for you to find the right vehicle at the right price in one place. Come in today and shop over 2,000 new and used vehicles. Each location offers knowledgeable sales and finance staff ready to help you find exactly what you're looking for.

Trade In

When it's time to buy a new vehicle, you first want to know what your used car is worth. We appraise your car based on the year, make, model, trim and mileage. There is also some consideration given to the wear and tear on the car, especially for older models, and our available stock. Each of our 11 dealerships offers a simple trade-in calculator for you to use on your current vehicle or you can get a rough estimate from KBB. That will give you an idea of what your car is worth before you start shopping. Once you find the right used car for your needs, we will finalize your current vehicle's trade-in value as well as the payment details for your new vehicle. While each dealership handles trade-ins a little different, they all want you to have a hassle-free car buying experience at the Tustin Auto Center.

Used Car Financing

Your car is one of the most expensive things you own and buying one is a serious decision. At the Tustin Auto Center, we want to make sure you're getting both the exact vehicle you want and the right financing for your needs. We can walk you through your options when it comes to finding an outside car loan, financing through the dealership or leasing your used car and then tailor the right solution to your household. Buying a used car doesn't have to be hard! Each dealership offers a short pre-qualification form so you know what information you will need to bring to the dealership. That way we can get you into your new car in a hurry and have you on the road in no time. Call us today with any questions.

Lease Vs Buy A Used Car

With so many ways to buy a used car these days, it is natural to wonder if you can lease one. In fact, you can! It still requires that you put money down and make monthly payments, but they are usually lower than you would find with a traditional car loan. There are also wear and tear, mileage and other lease terms to consider and, like all car leases, at the end of the lease term you will not own the vehicle. It will improve your credit score however, and that may give you more options if you decide to buy your car, truck or SUV outright at the end of your lease.

Orange County residents interested in leasing a used car should check out the over 200 certified preowned cars, trucks and SUVs available from the dealerships at the Tustin Auto Center. These vehicles are some of the best on our lots and are less likely to require maintenance during the duration of your lease. They are also the only vehicles that qualify for a used lease and you should talk to the dealership directly if you plan on leasing a new or used car at the Tustin Auto Center.

On the other hand, buying a used car will build both your credit and your equity, because your payments will go toward paying off your car loan rather than paying your lease. It's like paying a mortgage instead of rent. You also have access to the complete inventory of over 1,000 used cars, trucks and SUVs available from the 11 different dealerships on site.

Used Car Service

The Tustin Auto Center features 15 different brands of new cars, trucks and SUVs at 11 different dealerships. Each of those dealerships offers a state of the art service center with experienced technicians ready to help you with routine maintenance, standard service or major repairs. While we stand by all of our used vehicles, we want you to know that if you need anything down the road, from an oil change to an engine overhaul, we have you covered. There is also an Enterprise location in the Tustin Auto Center if you need a rental car during your service work. Tustin Auto Center is not only your source for used cars in Orange County, but we'll take care of you as long as you need a car!
