Used Car Dealership

Looking for a car dealership in the Los Angeles area that carries more than just basic commuters? Car Lux Inc. runs two lots in South LA, one on La Brea in Inglewood and another on Hawthorne Blvd. in Lennox. The selection runs from entry-level used cars starting around $9,000 all the way up to pre-owned exotics. Roughly 300 vehicles sit across both lots at any given moment, plus whatever drove off the lot this morning.

A quick note before going further. This isn't a franchise lot tied to one manufacturer. It's an independent and trusted used car dealership, which matters more than people realize when they walk in expecting only one badge on the showroom floor.

What We Actually Stock at the Lot: Hendrick Automotive Group Inventory

The inventory shifts week to week. That's the nature of a used car lot. Someone trades in a Range Rover on Monday morning; it gets inspected by midweek, and it's listed before Saturday. The point is, what shows up online today might be different by the weekend, so checking the inventory page or just calling 310-412-9072 saves time.

Vehicles cover several categories. Pre-owned luxury sedans and coupes. SUVs ranging from family haulers to G-Wagons. Trucks with the higher trims people actually want, like Denali and TRX. Electric models, including used Teslas. And for buyers shopping the lower end, there's solid entry-level inventory too. Not every dealer in the area stocks that kind of spread.

The Brands You'll See When You Walk In: Featuring Sonic Automotive

Anyone who's been around used car lots in LA knows the selection often skews narrow. This one doesn't. Brands that show up regularly:

BMW (3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, X5, M models)
Mercedes-Benz (C, E, S, CLS, GLS, G550)
Porsche (Panamera and Turbo variants)
Range Rover and other Land Rover models
Tesla (Model 3 and Model X across multiple trims)
Audi, Cadillac, Volvo, Bentley, plus occasional Honda, Toyota, and Lamborghini
RAM, GMC, Chevrolet, and Ford on the truck side

That covers most of what shoppers in the South Bay are searching for, whether the goal is a daily driver or something a little louder, with more to choose from.

Financing That Works for Different Credit Situations

Here's where things get practical. Plenty of dealer groups in the LA area run financing through one or two captive lenders. That works fine if your credit score is north of 700. If it's not, the conversation tends to end fast.

Car Lux Inc handles this part differently. The finance team submits applications to a network of lenders at the same time, including traditional banks, Capital One, and lenders that work with subprime and second-chance borrowers. They are committed to a transparent process, which matters if you're deciding which automotive business you actually want to do business with. A score in the 500s doesn't automatically close the door, but lenders still base approval on income, down payment, and the specific vehicle being financed. No one can promise approval without seeing the paperwork, and any dealer who does is being dishonest.

For shoppers who want to test the waters first, the website has a Capital One pre-qualification tool that uses a soft credit pull. No hit to your score, just an estimate of where you might land. The loan calculator is also available on the site to run payment scenarios before applying.

Selling or Trading Your Current Vehicle

Trade-ins work the way they do most places. Bring the car in, the team looks it over, and the value goes against the price of whatever you're buying. Bring the title if it's paid off. If there's still a loan on it, get the payoff amount from your lender before coming in. Saves a phone call later. The team is also committed to working with a range of credit situations, so expectations stay straightforward from the start.

There's also a separate path for folks who just want to sell. The Sell Us Your Car program doesn't require a purchase. Walk in or visit to get an offer on the vehicle, then go from there without buying anything. Useful if you're moving, downsizing, or just done with the vehicle and ready to be done with it and helps shoppers learn whether this is the kind of dealership business they want to do business with when financing expectations are laid out honestly.

Shop in Person or Buy from Home

Some buyers want to sit in the car before signing anything. Others would rather handle the whole transaction on a laptop at home. Both work here.

In person means walking onto either lot during sales hours, taking a test drive without an appointment, and finishing the paperwork the same day if the financing comes together. Test drives can also be scheduled in advance on the website if a specific vehicle is the target. If you're selling instead, you can also visit the lot to learn your vehicle's current market offer in person and go from there.

The remote path runs through AutoDriven, where buyers complete the full purchase online. Browsing, financing, document signing, all of it without setting foot on the lot. Delivery details and any related terms are worth confirming with the team directly before finalizing anything, since those can vary based on distance and the vehicle in question. One quick tip: if you need to properly print vehicle details or directions, check your browser's print settings and enable print backgrounds so the page prints correctly.

Two Locations, One Phone Number

Both lots are easy to find on a map. You can visit either of our dealerships in person: the Inglewood location sits at 843 S. La Brea Ave, near the airport corridor, and the Lennox location is at 10836 Hawthorne Blvd, a few minutes south. Same phone, 310-412-9072, no matter which one you're trying to reach.

Sales hours run Mon through Sat, 9 AM to 8 PM, and Sun, 10 AM to 6 PM. Service runs weekdays only, 9 to 5. Closed weekends for service.

Areas regularly served include Inglewood, Hawthorne, Lennox, Compton, Gardena, Torrance, and the rest of the South Bay. Remote sales and broader reach across the wider LA metro are part of how the lot operates, too, and buyers can use the website and AutoDriven flow to learn financing or purchase details before finalizing.

Tip: To properly print directions or documents, you may need to enable print backgrounds in your browser's print settings.

Why Downtown Chicago Honda Buyers Keep Coming Back

A few reasons. The pre-check inspection program looks at mechanical condition, safety systems, and history before a vehicle goes up for sale. Vehicle history reports are available on request, which gives buyers a clearer picture of the car beyond what shows up in the listing photos. That part matters when the car costs more than a few thousand dollars.

The BBB rating is A+, and accreditation is in effect through the LA and Silicon Valley offices, effective December 2025. That's a verifiable third-party signal worth considering for anyone weighing whether an independent dealer is the right choice, especially given the mixed reputation some dealerships have earned for pricing and sales practices.

And the practical side. Same-day purchases happen when buyers walk in prepared with ID, proof of income, proof of residence, and a down payment ready to go. The finance team can usually run the application and have an answer within a few hours.

If a specific model is on the radar, give the lot a call before driving over. Inventory moves quickly, and confirming the vehicle is still there saves a trip. The phone number again is (310) 412-9072, and the inventory page on the site updates as cars come and go.

That's the rundown for anyone shopping for a car dealership in South LA with a wider brand selection and flexible financing options.
