After almost two years with the Mini Cooper I would buy from Russell at Pristine Autos again. The warranty thing accidentally worked out and he's got some unique cars for sale. I love the car and it runs great. There was several things in the description that are not part of the actual car. The trunk cover is in the photos but not in the car. The Homelink is in the description but not on the car. I think it was just an over site. He's a very nice man.

Wow! Russell is amazing - what an incredible car buying experience! Russell goes over and above with top class customer service, is a joy to talk to and makes every effort in making your purchase an absolute breeze. My Mini Cooper JCW was exactly as described or even better and I could not be more happier with my purchase. I will most certainly be buying from Russell again in the future and spreading the Pristine Auto gospel around Las Vegas amongst all my friends :-) Russell is a legend and most importantly somebody you can really trust in the lemon and shark infested waters of car buying!

Oh. My. Gosh. After lusting after "my" BMW Z3 Roadster for about a decade in Arctic Blue, there it was. At Pristine Auto USA Nipomo. I was skeptical at first because the car, even though a 1997, was recorded at only 30K miles, and I'd never heard of Nipomo, CA before. This seemed too good to be true, but it wasn't (YAY), and my husband's and my experience only became better the second we met Russell. We drove from LA to Russell's property, and fell in love with everything. He truly finds rare and pristine automobiles, and is very thorough in showing you every nook and cranny a vehicle could have- he showed us how all the VIN's were exactly the same, the vehicle had a full service history, no accidents, just lovely. We took a super fun test drive, then when we were waiting for a phone call in regard to financing, he suggested we take "her out to grab a bite." Awesome! I've never purchased a car before, and Russell made it SO easy and found us a very competitive rate for our financing. We drove it home that night. I truly hope we have the ability to purchase again from Russell in the near future as there were some sexy Porsche models calling my name, and Russell is just a gem! MUST SEE THIS LOCATION- THESE CARS- AND ALWAYS WORK WITH RUSSELL!

If Russ has the car you like, buy it from him. He's just the bomb. I had been looking for a Mini Cooper S for months and by the time I found one at Pristine Autos I had been to a ridiculous number of car dealers - from big name new dealers to little privately-owned used car dealerships. None of them made me more at ease than Russ. It's hard not to like a guy like Russ. He's honest, he's down to earth, he's friendly, and he doesn't try to run you around the block. There was never ANY pressure at all to buy a car from him, and he wanted to make sure I was well informed on everything about the car I was looking at. All of the cars in his garage looked flawless, and I was quite impressed with his shiny looking collection. I'm afraid I definitely made Russ work for his money - multiple phone calls, 3 different visits, and a bit of a wait before I could actually buy the car. The entire time Russ was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made sure everything was as easy as possible for me on my end. And I can't imagine a Mini Cooper being one of his more profitable cars... Needless to say, his customer service was impeccable. A similar car would've cost me an additional $3000-4000 had I gone to the used section of a Mini or BMW dealership, and his customer service was way more than I could've asked for. I've been driving my Mini for about two months now and it's still as clean as it was when it rolled off Russ's lot. Make no mistake, this is the man you want to buy your next car from.

This is what a car buying experience should be. No pressure. British guy Russ was super nice. He sells rare used European cars and only picks "clean cars" to buy/sell. One step in here and you can tell this is a guy who loves cars. Porsche posters on the wall and beautiful Porsches and BMWs in his showroom. As for my experience, I had been looking for a wagon. Originally wanted a Subaru, but every one I found was a bad deal.. My girlfriend bought an A4 and I liked the interior so I started looking for an Audi. Couldn't find any in decent condition and on a whim went to check out an Avant Russ had listed. I was pretty skeptical after looking at his website, but he was near my office so I swung by. Man was I surprised to find a fully-loaded, all wheel drive s-line Avant. This thing had nearly every option. Russ got me a good rate on financing (I had planned to finance myself) and stayed late so I could take the car home. He even hooked me up with some German fluids I was having a hard time finding for a reasonable price. This was a welcome change from my past car buying experience, and the car is GREAT. Good looking out Russ!
