TIMING CHAIN: This 3.5L V6 uses a metal timing chain, which does not require replacement the way a rubber cam belt does. It is also port fuel injected, avoiding the carbon build-up of direct-injection engines.

EPA GAS MILEAGE: The EPA rating is 17 city and 24 highway. FINANCING: Financing is available for good, bad, or no credit on most vehicles.

Go to IBuyCleanCars.com and then click credit app to submit a credit application. PRICE: The fair, no haggle price is $11,000. This price is based on a combination of Kelley Blue Book, Carfax Price Adjustment Tool, and a used car market analysis. Price is what you pay, but value is what you get. This vehicle is a good value considering the following: 67,197 actual miles against a 111,706-mile market average, a California car its whole life, 23 service records, a clean title, and seating for seven. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 NIV
Auto Advantage made finding a new used car easy and safe during this quarantine time. The vehicle i bought was in great shape and included a short term warranty making it a very safe purchase. Everyone i dealt with were Professional and made it clear that they value their customers. When i told my son-in-law he knew this Company, he had bought a care years ago on payments he told me that they were great and the car he bought from them was a great car also. I would recommend Auto Advantage to everyone looking for a used car.

Had a great buying and trade in experience with Marc and Erik at Auto Advantage. Marc showed me the car I was looking at and had a binder ready with the Carfax and an invoice for the repairs and maintenance performed on the vehicle prior to it being put up for sale.
Erik was able to offer more for my trade in than Carmax was offering which definitely helped out.
Marc was awesome and worked with my budget to make a fair deal on the car that I wanted. He was also patient while I worked with my bank for 3 days to get the financing worked out.
The car is a USED car and does have some rock dings in the paint and some scratches but for a used car still looks really good. I have been driving the car for 3 weeks now I think and I am very happy the way it drives and runs for being a USED car. I have been working on cars and aircraft for more than 15 years now and this is a quality used car. I have no worries about daily driving the car.
Thank you Marc and Erik for the awesome car!

Thank you Marc & Erik for an easy car buying experience. We drove from Ventura down to Escondido after finding the SUV we we're looking for with low miles at a price we could afford.
The prices are pretty fair and there little to negotiate on so be prepared to pay for the price you see.
We took our Aspen to our local mechanic and they said it's a vehicle in very good condition.
We are very happy and so are the boys.
Thank you
