I bought a 02 ws6 ramair From them. and the car was in exel shape and even got them to come off the price some. And sold the car a year later for the same price I payed for it. The dealer couldn't get over how clean it was.

They seem like a good company and have heard good things before. All their cars are priced fairly.
I am sure the car looks great, there isn't much a good buff and wax can't fix, which is what they do to every car that comes in. My 06 Buick was pretty bad and it looked like a brand new car the next time I saw it on the sale lot.

I almost bought a truck from them in November and talked to a salesman about there business model and the fact that they photoshop the pictures does not suprise me at all.
From what the guy told me:
- ALL cars on the lot are as purchased from the auction.
- When each car is recieved they create a list of items that need to be repaired. (The Tundra I was looking at had a few items from buffing a scratch out of the tailgate to replacing a back seat door panel because of a deep scratch, and a few more items only one of the items I could see in the dark.) You should be able to get the list.
- Once the car is purchased they make the repairs then detail the car (They told me they would need 2 days to make the truck ready once I bought it and I was local. There goal is to never detail a car more then once.
And honestly the guy told me they move 30-40 cars a day, they seemed realy straightfoward and very volume based if you are concerned about the photos call them I would not be suprised if they sent you uneditted pics.

I bought my 04 Z06 from them. It was in great shape!! It had low miles with only the best bolt ons. I am very happy with the car. They would not budge off the asking price, I even played the "I'll think about it" approach, but it was a failure. I payed asking price but I got them to throw in a tire and wheel warranty and that has def. payed off!! Hell they even let me go test drive it by myself, didn't even have to take a sales man.

So, you're upset because they edit photos in Paint Shop Pro? What's the big deal there? Ever think they're just using that program to crop/resize the photos?
Heaven forbid you actually go look at the car yourself and make an informed decision.
Disclaimer: I've never dealt with or know anyone who works for/deals with this dealership. I just find this post ignorant with proof of software used on a photo - OH NO.

Yes they did the same for me. On the test drive. And as far as the last min repair thing I don't know anything about that. I called that morning and showed up by noon and the car didn't get detailed till I bought it. So everything worked out fine for me. They sale alot of high end cars. And it's was more of a warehouse then a car lot.that is what they where telling me they mainly sale on the Internet. But they had no problem leting me look at all there car.

i got my 2001 camaro ss with alot of slp add ons and centermount in 2007 and it only had 33k miles on it. i got it for a fair price and it was in great shape. they wouldnt budge off the asking price on me either lol but it was a good price still. the only thing i did not like whatsoever was that i paid 2k for unlimited mile warranty and when i needed it comes out that they didnt pay the warranty company? after alot of calls and struggling i got my 2k returned to the bank but that sure didnt fix what needed fixing. oh well. car was awesome looking tho n ran great. 13.1 with a paper filter

^The thing is with those review sites...ANYONE can sign up and make up a BS negative review it is the internet after all where 90% of the people on it do not have life and just love to do stuff like that.

Well my dealing with them was not on a good note. I live in Forney and drove to Houston to see a truck and it was nothing like what they said it was... And the picture had to be one photoshoped or something it was in very bad shape when I saw it.
Just do a google search on them. And look how many hits you get on them.

I know not every car was bad but mine sure as hell was and it just pissed me off to drive that far to find this out. When I ask is there any thing that I should know about the truck before I come out..... He said Nope it's perfect.
And I didn't buy the truck by the way.

I bought my V from there and it was a great experience overall.
They wanted $27k for the car on ebay, the auction ran out with no buyers before I drove over to look at it. While there, they would NOT budge off of $27k, so I went home. Before I even got back to the house, they had re-listed it for $25k lol. I clicked buy it now and went and got it the next week. Kind of pissed me off that they didn't even chase me down as I was going out the door to drop the price, but I guess when they say "we don't negotiate prices" they ******' mean it lol.
