Our Story

Built by drivers, for drivers

Advantage Auto Sales started in 2009 because buying a used car in Los Angeles was needlessly adversarial. We set out to run the opposite kind of shop: fixed, honest pricing, cars we would drive ourselves, and a team paid to help rather than to upsell.

What we stand for

Four things we refuse to compromise

Transparency first

One price on the website and on the contract. No packs, no market adjustments, no surprise line items at signing.

Quality over volume

We buy roughly one in nine cars we inspect. If it would not pass for a member of our own family, it never reaches our online collection.

Service after the sale

Our technicians maintain what we sell. Every customer keeps a direct line to a service advisor for the life of the vehicle.

A better experience

No hovering, no pressure, no wasted day. Browse, buy, and arrange delivery from wherever you are.
