I generally stay clear of these types of dealerships, they are usually stocked with auction cars that manufacturer-branded dealerships don't want. The cars may be just fine, then again, there's a reason dealership sales departments don't want them. Caveat emptor.

That said, my 1st car was a '65 (actually, 64 1/2) Mustang that I bought off of a "buy here, pay here" type of lot in 1974. The car served me well, until I blew a freeze-plug. Thankfully, it was a very easy fix.

I had a wonderful experience with them. Wouldn't hesitate buying from them again, I'd prefer it. They showed up on time, car was well detailed and as described. Had one little problem with the car, scratched bumper it got coming from AZ, was taken care of no issue. Also had a water pump o-ring go bad two months in, typical for this car, they let me have the water pump and t-stat replaced at the Indy shop I use. They paid $2600 no questions asked and I paid $50. The approval for the work was almost instant. I think the issue comes from lower end cars, big ticket cars are treated differently from what it seems.

I would like to add that the previous purchase I made was at the local BMW dealer. They took over 3 months to give me my paperwork to aquire tags. Took threat of legal action and contacting the dealership GM to get the ball rolling.

I wouldn’t have an issue. Normal dealers are out to screw you anyway they can. I treat all of them the same - can’t be trusted
