READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO! !! They make you pay a deposit of $800 that they tell you afterwards is non refundable, WITHOUT ever test driving or seeing the mileage. Once you get !! They make you pay a deposit of $800 that they tell you afterwards is non refundable, WITHOUT ever test driving or seeing the mileage. Once you get to the counter they only allow You (not your mechanic or spouse) to come in. (Which is sneaky) and they hire black security to intimidate you. Here’s how they scam you: you think you’re paying $2500 for your car which is ALL they tell you, once you give them the $800 deposit, they say you pay the rest at the end of the Auction. But when you get to the counter they add on 50 fees that they make up which brings your total to $3717. Once you realize that you don’t want to pay that much extra because it doesn’t add up, they tell you that your $800 deposit is non-refundable! And then they tell you that you have 48 hours to pay the full amount or they will sell your car! And keep your $800! SCAM! There needs to be a lawsuit against the owner! Most people come there with little to no money looking for a car and they hike up the price to where they know you can’t afford it and Cha-Ching! Now they have your deposit/money for Free! I wish I could find a lawyer because they need to be shutdown! More
