Default The Auto Connection (Garland, TX) Need info please.

Has anyone heard of this place?

Reputable? Reliable? Honest?

Has anyone ever purchased a vehicle from this place or know someone that does? If so, experience?

I found a car there that I'm VERY interested in and was wanting info on this place before considering making the purchase.

Also, does it cost money to run a carfax on it? If so, how much? Here's the VIN#:

2G2FV22G522107925

Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

I found one exactly how I want it and I offered a price to them and they agreed. I just want to make sure they stand behind their cars and advertise them honestly. I don't want to purchase a problematic car.

they are just another "Tote the note" carlot and know nothing about LS1's other then that they are fast and the owner usually dog's the **** out of the cars before selling them just having fun with them(friend watched him doing this with 2 of the cars he had last month or so) and the owner told my buddy "you gotta test them out" and proceeded to do long smokey burnout's! other then that like one other member has said check out a Carfax report first and double check it in person!

So if you pay this $30 fee, you can check as many cars/VINs as you want for any amount of time? If that's the case, there has to be someone on here that could look it up for me. I went to Carfax.com and basically it just listed the make, model, year, etc. Nothing specific.

Would anyone be hesitant to buy from this car lot? Has anyone seen the white WS6 in person?
