I purchased my vehic Autos Direct Online is GREAT. My experience was better than anything local in VA. I flew in and Juan picked me up at CLE. I purchased my vehicle with only their dealership pictures and Juans' honest description of vehicles condition in and out. I'm pretty picky of vehicles and I hate dents and dings. The vehicle was EXACTLY how Juan described it and even better in person. I would not hesitate to recommend ADO to friends and family. Be an informed consumer. ASK QUESTIONS and you won't be disappointed. Greg L. 2000 LX470 Vint Hill Farms, VA More
I bought a car from these guys on Ebay, the car was represented in excellent condition. I left Negative feedback on Ebay stating the facts, which were I was very disappointed, I sent an email that got represented in excellent condition. I left Negative feedback on Ebay stating the facts, which were I was very disappointed, I sent an email that got no response, and that they failed to mention that the car had been Keyed. The pictures they had on ebay clearly were photoshop'd to eliminate the huge Key gouge. They conned someone at Ebay's "Net Neutral" company into removing my negative feedback because as they said I should have went to Cleveland, OH to inspect the car first. My thinking is... that is the whole point of pics and descriptions on ebay not to mention feedback ratings. One assumes that when he is buying a car or anything for that matter on ebay, that he can know the pictures are accurate, the description is accurate and the feedback rating system is accurate. My opinion of Ebay tonight is forever changed as these guys now have a 100% feedback ranking again even after my negative feedback. It tells me to never again rely on a feedback ranking and certainly do not ever buy a car on Ebay again. Ill never ever make that mistake again no matter how good the deal seems. More

I had been looking for a Mercedes to import to Canada for quite a while when I found the right car listed on eBay with Autos Direct Online. As I am 1300 miles away from this dealer, I had to make sure that I will not be holding the end of the stick. It was my first time buying a car online unseen. As you can imagine that would be a scary thing to do. After talking to them a few times, asking questions about the vehicle, especially with regards to the requirements when exporting this Mercedes to Canada. Canada requires that Daytime Running Lights are turned on and that a printout from a Mercedes dealership that shows that this specific vehicle has no outstanding recalls. Juan promised me that that will not be a problem. He also stated that the vehicle is in excellent shape and exactly as described. Next I secured the vehicle by sending my deposit to them through Paypal. Then I started to do more research, looking for online comments about Autos Direct Online. I found positive ones as well as negative ones. Considering the volume they do I would be surprised if there would not be issues with some cars and some of their customers did not have nice things to say about them. However, I did also notice that they tried to deal with any issue that popped up and that is also important. I received all my papers from them and was to send over the money and the signed paperwork. Before I did this, I found a mechanic online, who has a shop not too far from them and paid him $50 to go over there and be my eyes. He looked at the car and told me it was “in great shape and I should go ahead, it is a great buy”. So I sent the money and the paperwork. It included several conditions: No Recall letter from MB system, DRL turned on and a second key to be provided at cost. I was assured all was received and I booked my flight. Now I had about 2 weeks to wait, which gave them time to get paperwork done and fulfill the conditions. Everything fell in place about 4 days prior to my pickup. Paperwork was sent to border crossing and I got copies. I wish some of the communications would have been better in the process as I had to do a lot of follow up and sometimes responses to questions were not forthcoming until . So I tossed and turned a few nights wondering if I lost my sanity buying a vehicle online unseen. I arrived Friday evening at 5:30 to pick up the vehicle and Juan picked me up at the Airport in my car. As we were driving away I noticed that message had come on telling us that the passenger SRS needed servicing. Now that is a message you don’t want to see if you need to get the vehicle through safety inspection in Canada. Juan said that he had never seen that message and I believed him as nobody had probably sat on that seat before since they got the vehicle. Back at the shop I received the title, which As there was nothing we could do that Friday night he said come back tomorrow morning at 9 am and we will deal with it. That night I thoroughly inspected all functions of the vehicle and found that everything was exactly as described online. I was very happy with the car. 9 am I was back and they send me to a garage they deal with to look at the issue with the Airbag. The diagnosis said it was the seat belt receptacle and the part would have to be ordered. Back at AutosDirect they sent me straight to Mercedes in North Olmsted and Mercedes fixed the issue under warranty so I would not have any costs after I got back to Canada. I arrived yesterday evening after 2000km (1300 mi). The ran perfectly and I am back home with the new car. So “thanks to Autos Direct Online”. It was a pleasure dealing with you and I will probably buy more cars from you. The price was right and the car was good and exactly as described. The issue that was found upon pick up was dealt with professionally and to my satisfaction. A last note: Please be aware about what kind of used car you are buying. Mine was 2008 Mercedes. If you are buying an older car with more miles there is a bigger chance that something may be wrong. I am sure they guys will check but they cannot find everything. Even if you buy locally and you get to see the car and test drive it, the seller will not guarantee that the engine won’t blow up a week later. The older a used car is the more risk for something to go wrong. Keep that in mind. If you want total peace of mind you will have to buy from a dealer who gives you some form of limited warranty and you will have to pay the higher price. More
The team at Autos Direct provided excellent customer service after the sale to address any concerns that I had. I got a 2005 Jaguar S Type from them with low miles for an unbeatable price.

I bought the car based on an ebay listing. They talked me into buying off of ebay (MISTAKE).. They has several weeks notice i was coming. I was tld the car was in excellent condition, except for a small 2 me into buying off of ebay (MISTAKE).. They has several weeks notice i was coming. I was tld the car was in excellent condition, except for a small 2" area of the rear headliner that was sagging. I flew in to get the car and the tail light had been broken, the salesman swore it was in the pictures listed, but I pulled the ad up and it was clearly not shown, so they said they would get me a new one. The car was not ready, they had the drivers seat torn apart when i got there because the seat adjustment switches would not work.. The memory worked, but not the switches.. Their was a large scratch on the drivers side rear door that was not photo'd, or disclosed.. someone had done a very poor job of trying to repair it.. The entire rear headliner was falling down.. Their guy had tried to put it up with gorilla glue. The repair looked terrible. I was supposed to leave for my 15 hour drive home at 1:00pm, the car was still not fixed at almost 5:00pm.. I was lucky that one of the memory positions would sort of work to get me home. They promised to send me a seat module and the tail light. I did get the tail light, but not he module.. Every time i call, i get the run around, and promises to get it to me.. After two months, i still have not received it. The car was for my wife, and there is no memory position that fits her comfortably. I would check online for them. There are a ton of stories like mine and worse. they are very shady, and i would NEVER recommend ANYONE buying from them. More

I would recommend the dealer becuase of price and their effort to stand behind their products but I would recommend that you ask lots of questions anytime you buy online. More
I recieved excellent service from the men who work at Autos Direct Online, being a woman it is always a concern when car shopping that salesmen will try to take advantage but I found myself being treated Autos Direct Online, being a woman it is always a concern when car shopping that salesmen will try to take advantage but I found myself being treated with respect and all my questions being answered. As for the vehicle I purchased I absolutly love it and have for over a year now, I definately did my research and the bottom line is that ADO had the best price and the cleanest cars it wasn't really a question who I was buying from.

Great company to work with. I have never bought a car off the internet without seeing it or driving first so I was very hesitant to do so but the price was to good to pass on. Photos and description of vehic the internet without seeing it or driving first so I was very hesitant to do so but the price was to good to pass on. Photos and description of vehicle was dead on. When I got to the facility everyone was very busy with customers but they greeted me as soon as I entered and had the car already pulled up for me so I can test drive it before we finalized the transaction. The vehicle was actually cleaner than I had expected and drove even better, so my stress level completely disappeared and couldn’t wait to finalize everything and drive it home to show all my friends and family. I couldn’t believe in the short 35 minutes I was there how many cars I watched being sold, I think it was like 5. I will recommend this wholesale operation to everyone who wants to purchase a used car. My wholesale broker was Sean Nightingale and he did a very nice job getting me in and on the road in a short period of time even though he had 2 other clients there. The whole team helped each other out to make sure everyone was taken care of. A++ operation. During the process we also found out that almost all the brokers and owners had been General Manager of new car dealerships in the past with extensive knowledge in Finance, used cars, and many more aspects of running multi million dollar New and Used car franchises. , which they where able to explain to us that buying vehicles from these very large multi million dollar companies that there mark up on a vehicle is so high to off set the cost of running such an operation . So there business model was to keep there overhead expenses low so that they can offer not only other dealers but consumers such as ourselves very low prices on all there vehicles. I would say it works and works well. More
