      I purchased a 1998 ***** Accord from this auction I was given a price of $1200 after they added all the additional fees it came out to 1700 after receiving the vehicle the vehicle barely wanted to start when it did start. It was shaking the wheel wouldnt turn, I took it to the nearest auto repair shop where the transmission went out after hours of just buying the vehicle. I feel like this company has unfair practices and I am asking to either get a refund or for them to give me a credit to purchase another vehicle for $1700 is a lot of money to lose .

      READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO!!! They make you pay a deposit of $800 that they tell you afterwards is non refundable, WITHOUT ever test driving or seeing the mileage. Once you get to the counter they only allow You (not your mechanic or spouse) to come in. (Which is sneaky) and they hire black security to intimidate you. Heres how they scam you: you think youre paying $2500 for your car which is ALL they tell you, once you give them the $800 deposit, they say you pay the rest at the end of the Auction. But when you get to the counter they add on 50 fees that they make up which brings your total to $3717. Once you realize that you dont want to pay that much extra because it doesnt add up, they tell you that your $800 deposit is non-refundable! And then they tell you that you have 48 hours to pay the full amount or they will sell your car! And keep your $800! SCAM! There needs to be a lawsuit against the owner! Most people come there with little to no money looking for a car and they hike up the price to where they know you cant afford it and Cha-Ching! Now they have your deposit/money for Free! I wish I could find a lawyer because they need to be shutdown!
