Used Cars (1980)

Kurt Russell stars as Rudolph "Rudy" Russo, a sleazy used car dealer with political ambitions. When the beloved owner (Jack Warden) of his struggling dealership dies, Rudy and the other salesmen hatch a plan to keep the place in business and away from the greedy hands of his scheming twin brother Roy (also Jack Warden). This hilarious movie from the team behind the Back to the Future movies was primarily filmed in Mesa, AZ.

"Roy L. Fuchs Pre-Owned Automobiles" was filmed at Darner Chrysler Jeep Headquarters at 837 West Main Street in Mesa. The lot has since been demolished and turned into an apartment complex.

Luke Fuch's "New Deal Used Car Lot" where Russo works was across the street and has since been turned into condos.
