Not personally, but a friend who bought a car from the one in Jersey on 1/9 had some problems, namely that the VIN plate was replaced with a strip of paper with a VIN TYPED ON IT! I mean, it was he fault partially for not noticing it, but that is something most people would'nt look for.(I was'nt with him when he got it) If I was you, I'd stay away from these places. Almost all the cars have high miles, and most have been hit or damaged in one way or another. Try to get to a "dealers auction". Most car dealers will charge you btw $300 and $500 to go.

I would never buy a car at any of those places, especially in NY/NJ. BQE or the Garden state auto auction or whatever it's called...


95% of those cars are killed. They are left overs from dealer auctions and wherever else that no dealer wants to purchase because they don't want a busted ***, high milage, trashed car that was in 10 collisions with evidently horrible body work. They are being auctioned off to the general public for cheap for a reason.
These cars don't just come out of thin air..

And most of them are high milage, undesirable color combinations, no options.. basically garbage left overs...


i much rather pay an extra thousand or two.. or just look harder because infact, those prices that they go for at those auctions.. you can find the same car from a private party in that same price range if you look hard enough... and bargain on the price a little bit...

Friend got a car from there a 2000 Eclipse from there.

RIP OFF!

Price was off a bit.

Timing belt needs to be changed and a full tune up.

Worst part was the car was in a minor accident.
