I have waited almost 2 years to write this review to ensure that what I wrote was accurate. Originally, I planned on giving 5 stars as the service I received was amazing. Coming from Vancouver Island, I wanted to be extremely sure that I was leaving with a vehicle. The financing was ready and easy, they kept their word on my trade-in. However, 3/4 to the ferry I had a "check engine" light come on. I needed this ferry, so I kept going. WRONG. I should have immediately gone back. The problem was a catalytic converter. It was very obvious they just reset the code because it came back on almost immediately. Even with their "3 month warranty," they only offered me a lousy $300 to fix the problem or I had to come back to Vancouver for THEM to do it (Which is a huge cost itself). They wouldn't pay a mechanic here. I still don't have this issue fixed completely because it was also the O2 sensor in addition to the catalytic converter and the $300 only went so far. NEXT, I was assured that the financing would show up on a credit report which was one of the reasons I went with the extreme cost of private lending. I had no credit as a young person and my last vehicle didn't report. I would not have financed a vehicle if I knew there would be no positive credit score after paying it all back. I have done a credit check and it is not there. Highly disappointed. And last, the most important thing. I have a Grand Cherokee V8 with a "selec-track" system. This allows me to have 4WD in both part time and full time conditions. The lady told me it was like having AWD-- I could slip in and out of PART TIME whenever the road was wet or iffy. This is completely wrong. I drove often on pavement in part time before I realized I was beginning to have problems controlling the vehicle and getting it back out of part time. I have now done the research that part-time is NOT AWD, and is the opposite and should NEVER be used on dry pavement or even on dirt roads. It's for mud and snow conditions ONLY. This could have potentially blown apart my transfer case and/or drive train causing potentially thousands of dollars in cost to fix, or even caused an accident. By my research, it should have blown apart already and I am incredibly lucky. Essentially, I will never buy a vehicle here again as they mislead me, sold me something that they knew was broken and fed me the wrong information that could have potentially seriously injured someone.

Sold us a 2003 Protege with low low kms . It drove and handled like a low km car . Gary and his partner were honest and let my wife and I take it on a pre-lim test drive when we were just considering the car . Then when it was our top choice we took it for a 45 minute test drive , on the highway , over the bridge , in the city and gave the car a good test . No issues . They didn't mind our timeframe or how through we were . They were up front with the Icbc accident sheet and showed me the few minor hits . I am a Car guy , when I show up at a dealer it's with a tool bag , good flashlight and code reader . That is usually to scare any shady dealer . These guys didnt mind at all . Our critism : the so called saftey inspection they have done is at one of those little shops on Clarke . It's not very good, they tire px was set to max 44psi , the brake pads had been poorly installed into a set of calipers that needed replacing . When you buy a used car , you should always give it a good once. Not bad for $3500

I just purchased a 2003 Honda Odyssey from Gary at Sensible Auto Sales. The van had been discounted after sitting on the lot for quite a long time but Gary was willing to work with me on the price further and I feel that I got a great deal for really quite a solid vehicle. He provided a Carfax report right up front and even though the van had been in a couple of accidents earlier in it's life, there was no major damage. The report showed that the car had been serviced regularly until the last 50,000 kilometers. It was quite obvious though that the van was in great condition for an eighteen year old vehicle. I'm quite confident that I will easily get another 100,000 kilometers from it without any major repairs. If people do their home work, there are excellent deals to be had. Gary is a really nice guy to work with and if your expectations are realistic, he will treat you right. Thanks, Gary!

If you like burning up piles of cash then buy your car here. Vehicle broke down with $7000 of head gasket repairs after 2 months. The $1000 warranty covers about 15% of the cost. That math doesn't look good. Also, a previous owner eventually informed of the need for the SAME repair before Sensible Auto Sales bought it. Avoid this place at all costs. ----- Small note: If you can find a mechanic shop that will complete a 6 cylinder Tribeca head gasket repair for less than $3000 I suggest you have all your affairs in order before you drive it again. This is not EVEN CLOSE to a $3000 dollar fix at a shop, and all independent mechanics that have experience with Subarus quoted over $6000. So yes, the Lubrico warranty is useless for these kind of major problems.

Purchased a gmc envoy from them, and in less than a month the rear differential failed. They show you mechanical inspection report to make you think that it has been maintained and checked, but sadly it's not. Brought to a mechanic for repair and they found a more serious problem that the fuel regulator was leaking. So much for their safety inspection. Even though they sell used auto insurance, lubrico, we are having trouble dealing with them to help cover cost of repairs. Buyer beware. We made the mistake of not checking their reviews before buying from them. Over $3500 in repairs.

Gary and Deb helped me find a vehicle for my business...they went out of their way to help me find exactly what I was looking for and even loaned me a van to use until the one I had chosen was detailed and checked thoroughly. Deb, as it turns out got me my first vehicle when I moved to Vancouver 20 years ago and both she and Gary have a reputation for honesty in a business where honesty and integrity are incredibly important. These two have 5 stars for me easily. I have sent two other friends there for vehicles and both are super happy with their purchases!

I had an excellent experience at sensible motors. The owner was extremely friendly and reasonable. We have been looking for a Toyota highlander for a while and went to several other dealerships, but I have to say sensible motors was one of the better ones. We've had the vehicle since November. It runs beautifully. The owner even let me bring it to my car mechanic before purchasing it. I will be sure to go back next time I go car shopping :)

Gary est un vendeur très attentionné. Nous avons trouvé notre Van grâce à lui et tout a été impeccable pour notre Road Trip. Il a été disponible pour toutes nos questions et les démarches car nous venions tout juste d'arriver à Vancouver depuis la France et nous avions un délai court avant de faire notre voyage aux USA. Conseil, qualité des véhicule et disponibilité, je vous recommande Gary. Merci

We had a great experience with Gary at Sensible Auto Sales! We sold our car to him and received a fairer offer than other dealerships in the area. He isn't your usual car salesman and handles customers with care and understanding. If we were to purchase a car in Vancouver we would definitely visit him - they have plenty of cars for travellers like us! Highly recommended for good deals.

Gary the owner at Sensible Auto Sales is a great guy to buy or sell too. The company I work for has used them to buy several quality used vehicles from our For Sale by Owner data base. RideBuyers has helped many customers selling and buying by connecting them to our associated dealerships in Vancouver Sensible Auto is one of our favourites.

Best dealership ever I was in need of a vehicle that same day and the salesmen was eager to assist, answered all my questions without hesitation unlike some dealerships. And I drove away with a car since their deals and prices are noting worth hesitating about that’s how great they are definitely going to go back to them for my next vehicle

For some inexplicable reason the guy seemed as if he didn't want to make a sell. He also quoted a price higher than advertised online. Then goes ahead to tell me he's driving that particular car home tonight, what if I buy right then? Lol. Don't go to work if you don't want to be there!

Beware make sure you check odometer reading of the car you are buying matches in the purchase agreement. Read the paper or document well dont get carried away cause you are excited buying the car that you want. Disappointed to Gary Loski thought he's an honest guy. …

Gary Loski is a pretty laid-back guy because he's been doing this for a long time. The most honest and efficient used car salesman I have ever met. Bought an '01 Nissan Pathfinder today - got Wrench Patrol to come by - they liked it! I think he's an honest guy!

I have found the car of my dreams here; Gary the owner is great very helpful and friendly I am sure you can find a reasonably priced car for our needs here ;go on by take a look at what they have to offer!

There’s a man outside with a sign that reads “take the vehicle to a mechanic first” GREAT ADVISE EVERYONE DO THIS IF YOU GO HERE!

Very honest and friendly. Good advice. Ask for Gary. Steered me in the right direction to find the best car for my needs.

Gary is very fair, friendly and honest to deal with. I'm very happy with my new car. I would definitely recommend him.

Very pleasant and transparent. I sold them a car. Clear discussion about why they offered me what they did for my car.

Gary the 9wner is very personable and polite and very knowledgeable. A great place for a used car

Great customer service ! Yankele very patient and honest, will keep buying from this dealership

Gary sold me a 2008 Cherokee and was a pleasure to work with, thanks for a great experience!

They have some questionable cars on the lot...

Very poor customer service and experience!

Gary was great to deal with
