    Anyone know anything about this place? They have a Toyota that I am kind of interested in, but the place kind of scares me.

    A coworker of mine bought a PT Cruiser from them and he is very happy with his purchase! My boss was looking to buy a car for his wife and my coworker couldn't praise this place enough.

    I test drove and almost bought a car from there.

    They are very easy to deal with. I set up an appt. for a test drive, and when I got there they just handed me the keys (I had to leave my driver's license). It was nice getting to drive the car without a salesman.

    They will let you take the car to a mechanic to get it inspected.

    Also, their prices also look very good as well. They've got a very nice inventory of sports car.

    bought my last 3 cars there. :D

    no real negotiating, their reserve price is usually just under the buy it now from my experience. but there usually under kbb/nada anyway.

    fyi... only thing i have had to be weary of, they will add options to drive up the bluebook but not all options will be installed as they say on the ad. they do it to show you the gap between their price and the blue book. i've had things like bed liner and nerf bars stated as options but not on the truck. that made their price look an extra $600 dollars below blue book(inflated with bogus options). sometimes they are honest mistakes as they deal with hundreds of cars other times not so honest.

    things like that to watch for but every vehicle i have ever bought from them has been great.

    Do you have to buy from Ebay or can you show up over there? I need to get the car checked out etc.

    nope. call and make an appointment to see the car. if and when you do the deal(onsite) they take the item off of ebay. the most they might ask of you is to leave feedback but i myself have never been asked.
