Never heard of these guys. I poked around their website & didn't see an address anywhere. Are they brokers?

If you do let me know. I had inquired about a car but the whole process and everything seemed just too good to be true. I asked for specific details and nobody replied so I stopped my interest.

I will try to drive out there later this week to see if they are real. Will report back.

My initial impression is "something is wrong". Look at the 2019 GT3RS. The ad lists it as having over 9,000 miles (!!!!) but in the photos the mileage reads 2,322.

Something's not right. Scrape site of other resellers' cars/inventory? Who knows. More later.

Looks like a 'nice' Copart site to me, strange. Never heard of it. Prices seem TGTBT also.

The terms are amazing. I just can't believe them at all. If you buy the car they ship it to you at the sellers expense and you have 7 days to inspect it and refuse the car. If you refuse, the seller pays to ship the car back. Can this be? All the cars look to have been photographed in the same location and to a very high standard. The car I was looking at was from Ohio and he shipped it there, so the seller says. I need eyes on this place!

92 Porsches, a lot of cars. If you look at the photos of the GT3, one of them shows the back tag area, it has a dealer ad plate for EvanPaul Motorsports (they're out in California). So this car was "maybe" out there at some time.

The background photos (matching the EvanPaul site photos background) for many of these cars is the same as the GT3s, there was a license tag ad frame on one other car, looked to be also EvanPaul but zooming in didn't allow a clear view, too pixelated.

"Too good to be true" maybe, they certainly look nice, warranties are a concern. Definitely needs boots on the ground to eyeball the cars and the fine print.

Edit:
Gotta love the internet, anyone can create a site and paste photos and information and of course , it's all 100% legit, we'll see...

The pictures also look very very similar to those of the cars at Texas Direct Auto in Houston.

Take a look:

I was trying to think of the local Houston dealer who does pictures almost exactly like that, couldn't remember the name, but this is them.

The street address looks like an empty office building.
