Default Texas Direct Auto...Any feedback

Hey gang, long time no talk. I have searched with mixed results.

Has anyone bought a car from these guys? Anyone have any good feedback?

Toying with buying a car from them.

Let me know and I hope all is well in 996 land!!

I live by them and I wouldn't buy from them. They turn and burn cars.

They buy crap and put lipstick on them per si?

Depending on some info I might need someone to put eyes on a car there. But I am waiting on some info...

Ok, so I actually bought an off lease 2002 Volvo C70 back in 2004 from them and was a great car and had a great experience. Maybe I was just lucky but held on to that car till 2008 when I traded it in.

Do your due diligence, get a good PPI, ask lots of questions, and the dealer really doesn't matter.

Lots of bait and switch feedback from customer reviews.

You can delete posts to a Facebook page you don't like. I have zero knowledge of the company but that *could* explain great Facebook reviews a d negative comments elsewhere.

They have an F from the BBB and 74 complaints on the ripoff report website. Go there and do some research.

No from someone who has been bitten by buying online

First, If the deal is to good to be true it is.

Second, get an indpendant inspection or 2

Third, do not pay any extra fees. In my limited experience, they give you a good price and then add on mandatory fees. They won't sell you the car without them.
