You might think that you are getting yourself a good deal for a used car. This would've been so true if they were selling used cars!
The thing is, they are NOT selling used cars, they are selling rebuilt SALVAGE title cars. Ok, that wouldn't be too bad either, some people consider buying those cars as a second or third car...etc. The problem is THEY WON'T disclose this fact to you! Quite low, right??! You might end up buying and paying off an expensive automobile that has "branded" title for a years if you are not careful!
"Branded" title means that the new title shows car has been totaled once, so the new owners are aware of it. This basically mean that if you want to trade in such a car in the future it's practically worth nothing. Decent dealerships won't take it, other will give you ridiculously low amount.
So PLEASE, please do yourself a favor and spare yourself a trouble, avoid this place. Ask for CARFAX and check the #VIN yourself. Don't relay on whatever story you hear from them. If you ask for CARFAX and they tell you that "car has been in a minor accident" RUN !! No car in a minor accident is given salvage title, it has to be damage 75%-100% to be declared salvage by insurance company. Also once you find out on your own that they are trying to scam you, they change from amiable to quite unfriendly in a matter of seconds.
P.S - if you are intentionally buying rebuilt salvage car then i'm sure you are going to have a nice experience. They are willing to give you car to drive around, take it to the mechanic and are helpful with financing process.They'll offer one year warranty. If they were honest upfront and explained that they are selling rebuilt vehicles I would leave a positive review.
Bought my Infiniti here. Loved it so much my dad came here one month later and bought himself an Infiniti. Not much more to say other than these guys are the real deal. Take the car and get it scoped out by your mechanic prior to buying. They'll probably insist you do. I will ONLY buy from them going forward.
I bought a 2010 honda fit sport in 2012 that started falling apart after a few months. I had found out later that the car i bought had a salvaged title, had 4 owners, had been in a collision and was in a flood.
No dealership would take it as a trade in which left me with negative equity.
No wonder their prices are below blue book value.
Great place to buy your car. This is a second car I bought from them. I spoke with Carlos and he was very professional. First car I bought was Scion XB and now I got a Audi S5. I recommend that place because I think you can trust them to get quality car for a good price.
They have great cars at a very reasonable price, and the guy who helped me (Carlos) was of great help. I will defenitly buy from them again and will recommend everyone I know there
Do yourself a favor. Do a VIN # search on their cars. They have a vehicle that I was interested in that was a wreck salvage. It's cheap for a reason.
