Idaho Youth Ranch Auto Sales - Boise, Idaho

This is a great dealership to get some cheap used cars or good project cars. The owner is a really nice guy. But take this with a grain of salt. Their vehicles are donated and can have problems more than what they would know.

I would not recommend buying a vehicle here unless you are mechanically inclined or able to have them inspected by a mechanic. Otherwise, I have purchased a couple of vehicles here that have been reliable for my family with their own issues that have been minor.

This is the only used car lot I've been to where they are not actively trying to steal from you. I've bought 5 cars from here, three of which were $700 "out the door" for my three teen-aged sons. Cars are usually inspected by a third party and issues listed on the inspection sheet. Fair prices, and the process is faster and painless compared to any other dealer, and way easier and safer than dealing with weirdos on craigslist and facebook marketplace. I don't know what people are complaining about with prices, if they sold them below market idiots like me would snatch them up and resell them for a quick profit. It's not a charity car lot, it's a car lot in support of a charity. The cars are often one owner, and people who donate cars for tax credit generally have their lives together and take care of their stuff, so the cars are often in weirdly good shape, with maybe some issue that wasn't worth dealing with compared to just donating it.

They only sell cars that have been donated, and can't fix everything that comes in... and typically fix nothing. They typically have reasonable prices, but don't expect extended an warranty or anything. The cars have all been inspected with issues noted on the window and almost all of them have at least a few minor issues or a major issue. They also have a dirt lot out back if you are thinking about getting a fixer-upper or need a parts car.

Good place to find something to get you to and from work. They have people who do community service to fix the cars as much as they can before they put them on the lot. They are very honest in all the issues you would be inheriting. They decrease the asking price of the car by the amount of the repairs needed. They make a profit no matter what since the cars were donated so there is no reason for them to wheel and deal you. Non-commission salesmen.

Honestly a decent place for some deals.
Vehicles are being sold in my opinion for more than they should be, being that they were donated. Most are going to have more problems than listed just because no one donates a perfect car so don't go in expecting something perfect. It's a great place to get a first time car or a project vehicle.

Everyone was very friendly, but if you buy a car from their lot get it checked out by a professional. I paid more than my car was worth and a month after i bought it one of the wheels flew off while i was on the freeway. I took it to a mechanic and almost all of the bolts were loose on my wheels. This could have been really bad and I'm incredibly lucky no one was hurt. There was also other little issues with the car that were hidden, one of the seat belts was cut almost in half but it was tucked into the back seat so I didn't notice it, and the drivers door doesnt lock unless you physically push it in, little things like that...

I can understand raising money for your organization but to sell the community cars ,trucks, or vans FOR THE PRICE THAT YOU DO WHEN THEY ARE DONATED VEHICLES AND SHAME ON YOU BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEY HAVE PROBLEMS AND U DO LITTLE OR NO WORK TO THEM HOW CAN YOU DO THIS WITH A CLEAR CONSCIOUS TO FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN !!! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND BUYING A CAR HERE YOU WOULD BE BETTER TAKING THE BUS OR ANY OTHER MODE OF TRANSPORTATION !!!

Do not buy any vehicles, most all have more issues than advertised
