Shopping for a vehicle at 48th State Automotive in Mesa, Arizona? Follow these steps to buy with confidence.
Pull the vehicle history report
Run a CARFAX or AutoCheck report using the VIN before you visit. Look for accident history, odometer rollbacks, and title brands like salvage or flood. Ask 48th State Automotive if a report is available for any listing.
Take a thorough test drive
Drive on both city streets and the highway. Accelerate hard. Brake firmly. Listen for any clunks, vibrations, or warning lights. Test the AC, heat, and all electronics during the drive.
Inspect for hidden wear
Check for uneven panel gaps, mismatched paint, or overspray — signs of past bodywork. Push on each corner of the car to test the shocks. Look underneath for frame damage, fluid leaks, or rust.
Get a pre-purchase inspection
Have a trusted mechanic inspect any used vehicle before you buy. A $100–$150 PPI can uncover issues that save you thousands. Ask 48th State Automotive if a third-party inspection is permitted.
Negotiate the out-the-door price
Focus on the total out-the-door price, not the monthly payment. Understand every fee on the sales contract before signing. Dealer add-ons like paint protection and VIN etching are negotiable at 48th State Automotive.

I would buy from this dealership again! They have upfront pricing on cars with none of the baloney addon document fees other places charge. The owner is super friendly and there is no pressure to buy. The included warranty is great! I did have to use it for a fuel pump that was going out, and the mechanic said the warranty company was easy to deal with.
BEST SERVICE EVER...NO DOCS FEES WHICH SAVES YOU MONEY...GREAT PRICES.. ANNIE, THE OWNER, IS VERY KIND AND FRIENDLY. I ALWAYS BUY USED CARS THROUGH USED CAR DEALERSHIPS AND MY EXPERIENCE WITH 48TH STATE AUTOMOTIVE, IS THE BEST EVER..
Outstanding people here. We didn't find what we were looking for but I was very impressed with the straightforward, friendly and kind personalities. I believe they are one of the very few places you can still get a fair deal. They seem to care about each vehicle and each customer. No pushy sales, just nice down-to-earth people. I can appreciate that.
G~R~E~A~T People & Business - I flew into town from Chicago area looking at a car at another dealer in town and it was not as described. I figured before leaving town empty handed I'd check to see if another car like I was looking for was available in the area and absolutely lucked out finding it at 48th Street Automotive. I truly don't understand where people come off with such negative reviews. They worked with me even let me take the car I was interested in to Ford dealer to get it checked out. They worked with me on price and I felt the deal was absolutely fair. Bottomline I wouldn't hesitate buying another car from them in the future.
WORST dealer ever. My 17 year old paid cash for a 2014 Jetta from here end of April. Her own money she saved. Immediately the car was a POS. Took it for an inspection and thousands of dollars in repairs needed. We called about returning it and were told NO by the dealership. She hasn’t been able to drive this vehicle since, as it’s in a shop needing entire new brake system because the brake fluid was jet black (it’s supposed to be clear). Meaning this dealer did not even inspect this vehicle in the most basic way before selling it! They should be ashamed. I will make it known.
