This place is a set up!!!!!!!! Do not do business with this company. I am still paying on a car note for my vehicle. It cost $3295 off the lot, and I have already paid them over $4000. Why? because it keeps needing repairs since I bought it a year ago, and I still owe under $1900 of car note expense, and $1300 worth of repairs. I am being forced to pay on both bills now, and I don't even have the car in my possession because they have it for yet another repair. They made 2 verbal agreements with me. 1. Trade the car in once I paid off the repair expenses. 2. Since June 2014, allow me only to pay on the repair bill for now until it is substantially paid on. I recently typed a contract up to have the owner sign that he made these agreements. He refused that he did and said I am 3 months late in car note payments. I better pay up before he repossesses the car. I have pay under $900 worth of repair expense since June that could have went toward the car note if he was going to do this. Now I have to come up with $600-800 before 9/23/14, in order to avoid repossession I assume. I could go on about other things they have done that are shady, but that would take up a lot of space on the review. In short as I can make this, don't purchase the lemons they sell. You will pay 100 times more than you expect. I only bought this car because bart and bus systems were on strike and I needed a car to get to work. And it has back fired on me tremendously.

BEWARE!!!!! By no means or for any reason should anyone patronize this business. Their business ethics are beyond horrible. They purchase junk cars from the auction and then resale at about a 200% increase for what they paid. They allow you to make payments, but with the interest rate they charge you, by the end of the payment terms you have paid twice what the sticker price was and ten times what the car is actually worth. Most importantly, the cars they sale are lemons. I have been to this "lot" on a number of occasions, with various family members, and have never seen a new car. They are all used vehicles that break down very shortly after buying them. My daughter bought a car from here and had so many mechanical issues the very next day. For a car with a blue book value of about $1000, she ended up paying approximately $5000 after all her payments, in addition to about $3000 she put into it for it to run. Every person I know that has purchased a vehicle (at least 6) from this location has ended up having to sale them to pic and pulp for a couple hundred dollars, because after a year or so they no longer run!!! THIS PLACE IS A SCAM FOR SELLING LEMONS!!!!! STAY AWAY!!!!
