Premium Autos

Premium Autos is not just another used car lot; it is a destination for discovery, particularly for those curious about the electric vehicle revolution. Positioned as California's #1 Used Tesla Dealer, this dealership serves as a bridge for drivers in Norco, El Monte, and across Southern California who are ready to explore the world of high-quality, pre-owned vehicles. The core mission is to make the transition to an EV or the upgrade to a newer model feel accessible, transparent, and even exciting. With two physical locations and a massive online inventory, Premium Autos caters to a wide spectrum of shoppers: from the first-time EV buyer searching for a Model 3 under $25,000 to the family looking for a reliable Toyota SUV or a luxury BMW sedan. The main value proposition lies in combining a specialized, vast selection of clean-title used Teslas—including Model 3, S, X, and Y—with a financing ecosystem designed for everyone, regardless of credit history. They have curated a process that removes the typical anxiety of car buying, offering tools like soft-pull pre-qualification and a no-deposit vehicle reservation system. Beyond the cars themselves, the dealership has built a community of trust, evidenced by a 4.5-star rating and over 400 glowing reviews. Whether you are a seasoned EV enthusiast or a curious newcomer wondering what it feels like to drive electric, Premium Autos invites you to explore a smarter, more flexible way to find your next vehicle.

California's Largest Used Tesla Inventory

This is the cornerstone of the Premium Autos experience. The dealership boasts an expansive and ever-changing selection of used Teslas, specifically the Model 3, Model S, Model X, and Model Y. For the curious shopper, this means you are not limited to just one or two options. You can explore different model years, battery ranges, and colors to find the perfect fit for your lifestyle. The inventory is not just wide; it is deep, with many Model 3s priced under $25,000, making the dream of owning an electric vehicle a tangible reality for a broader audience. This specialization means the team understands the nuances of each Tesla model, from the Ludicrous Mode performance of a Model S to the family-friendly versatility of a Model Y.

Soft-Pull Financing for All Credit Types

One of the biggest barriers to car ownership is the fear of a hard credit check and the uncertainty of loan approval. Premium Autos dismantles this barrier with a discovery-friendly financing feature. You can see your real approval options and estimated payments through a soft-pull pre-qualification process that has zero impact on your credit score. This allows you to explore your financial possibilities without risk. The dealership goes further by offering programs for first-time buyers, low down payment options, and flexible solutions for those actively building or rebuilding their credit. With over 20 lenders competing for your loan, the system is designed to find you the best possible rate, making the question "Can I afford this?" much easier to answer.

Reserve Now with No Deposit

In a fast-moving market, the car you have your eye on might not be there tomorrow. Premium Autos solves this problem with a "Reserve Now" feature that feels almost too good to be true: you can instantly hold any vehicle on the lot with absolutely no deposit required. This feature empowers you to secure your discovery without financial commitment. Once reserved, the vehicle is taken off the market, giving you the peace of mind to schedule an appointment, test drive the car, or finalize your financing details on your own time. It transforms the buying process from a frantic race against other buyers into a calm, deliberate exploration of your potential new car.

Two Convenient Southern California Locations

Accessibility is key to discovery, and Premium Autos makes it easy by operating two fully stocked locations. One is in Norco, serving the Inland Empire, Riverside, Corona, and Ontario areas. The other is in El Monte, reaching drivers in Los Angeles County, Pasadena, West Covina, and Baldwin Park. This dual-location strategy means that whether you are exploring options from the east or west side of the metro area, a Premium Autos lot is likely within a short drive. It also allows the dealership to serve a massive geographic area, from the suburbs of Chino Hills to the urban centers near Pasadena, ensuring that more people can physically come and explore the vehicles that have caught their eye online.

The First-Time EV Explorer

Imagine you have been curious about electric vehicles but felt intimidated by the high price of new models and the complexity of the technology. Premium Autos is your ideal starting point. As a first-time EV buyer, you can explore their massive inventory of used Teslas, including many Model 3s under $25,000. The soft-pull financing feature lets you see if you qualify for a loan without any risk to your credit score. You can then use the no-deposit Reserve Now feature to hold a specific Model Y or Model S, giving you the freedom to schedule a test drive and ask the knowledgeable staff all your questions about charging, range, and maintenance without any pressure.

The Credit Rebuilder Seeking a Reliable Car

Life happens, and sometimes your credit score takes a hit. This does not mean you should be locked out of owning a reliable vehicle. A person in this situation can turn to Premium Autos to discover a path forward. The dealership's financing ecosystem is specifically built to work with all credit types, including those with less-than-perfect history. You can browse the inventory of non-Tesla vehicles, such as a Honda Civic or Chevrolet Cruze, and use the online credit approval tool. The system connects you with over 20 lenders, many of whom specialize in helping people rebuild their credit. You can find a clean-title, dependable car and a manageable payment plan that helps you move forward financially.

The Family Upgrading to an SUV

A growing family needs more space, safety, and often a lower carbon footprint. A parent in Norco or El Monte can use Premium Autos to discover the perfect family SUV. They can explore the inventory of both electric and gas-powered options, comparing a spacious Tesla Model Y with a traditional Toyota Highlander or Ford Explorer. The "Browse by Style" feature makes it easy to filter directly to SUVs. After finding a few contenders, they can use the "Trade / Sell" tool to get an instant value for their current sedan, applying that equity to the new purchase. The entire process, from trade-in valuation to financing, can be handled online, saving a busy family an hour at the dealership.

The Luxury Enthusiast Searching for a Deal

For the savvy shopper who desires a premium badge like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Audi but wants to avoid the steep depreciation of a new model, Premium Autos offers a treasure hunt. This user can delve into the "All Inventory" page, filtering by brands like Lexus, Genesis, or Land Rover. They can compare a used Tesla Model S with a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, exploring the unique value proposition of each. The "Specials" page might reveal a $2,000 instant savings on a select used Tesla, making a high-end vehicle even more accessible. This use case is all about discovery—finding a pre-owned luxury vehicle that offers top-tier performance and comfort at a fraction of its original MSRP.

Do you have more than one location?

Yes. Premium Autos operates two convenient locations to serve you better. One is in Norco, California, and the other is in El Monte, California. This allows us to serve customers across the entire Southern California region, from Riverside County to Los Angeles County. You are welcome to visit either location to explore our full inventory.

Are your vehicles clean-title?

Yes, absolutely. Every vehicle on our lot, from our used Teslas to our trucks and SUVs, has a clean title. We pride ourselves on offering only high-quality, inspected vehicles. This commitment to clean titles is a core part of our value proposition, ensuring that you are buying a vehicle with a transparent history and no hidden structural or branding issues.

Can I reserve a vehicle before coming in?

Yes, you can. We offer a "Reserve Now" feature that allows you to instantly hold any vehicle on our lot with no deposit required. This is a risk-free way to ensure the car you are interested in is not sold to someone else while you schedule an appointment, arrange financing, or simply take the time to make your decision.

What fees are included in the price?

While specific fees can vary by vehicle and transaction, our goal is transparency. The listed price for a vehicle typically does not include government fees, taxes, and dealer document preparation fees. We encourage you to ask our sales team for a complete, out-the-door price breakdown on any vehicle you are interested in, so there are no surprises at the time of purchase.
