Does anyone know anything about this "Dealership" I had a fun experience with them. And just wondering if anyone knows anything at all about them. Or if this was a scam..... They are supposedly in Little Canada MN

I am coming to Minnesota next weekend. And this place claims to have a 2003 ZX3 focus for sale for $1995. I had been emailing back and fourth with them and they wouldnt answer any questions about the car, or if they even still had it. Then started being stupid. and sending dumb emails like Grow up or we will make you. Get a life ad crap. Like the car, but I dont know about the dealership. lol

Never heard of them.

Ok. I think its a scam. Supposedly they are a dealership...but yet they dont have a mechanic at their shop. And wont even wash the car, or top of fluids or put air in the tires on these cars they are selling. They couldnt even tell me the VIN on the car so I could do a carfax. weird huh.

Now I know who they are, they sell repairables.

I drive by there all the time, sounds like they could use a little help in the customer service area huh?

yea, I would say so. I wonder if it isnt like a family business and they have some kids working there. have you seen the focus they have? Its decent looking but Im not sure how bad the damage is. all they say is the driver door doesnt open, handles for windows are missing and the check engine light is on. So im not sure if I wanna try to get it or not.

This was the link I origanlly saw. http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/c ... 97075.html
Interior looks pretty messy on the drivers seat.....eww...lol. But I tried going to the site link and it was down for repairs and then they started acting like 2 year olds in their email response. lol

The VIN was right there in the Craigslist ad, 3FAFP31323R122028

The warranty history looks clean and I didn't see any mention of a branded title which makes me wonder how they ended up with it.

hold on a second while i go smack myself. lol. Its been chaotic so I must not have seen it in the rush oh boy. Yea, I dont know. Finally find a focus in my price range right now, and it is very questionable.

my understanding was the car was impounded, but ireally dont know. Thats why I am asking on here, cuz I just dont kow a whole lot about this...

yes, they are a tow yard, they sell impounds, snow birds and repairables. i've been there before. they'l;l accommodate you when you get there. but not as a big dealer would.

someone musta recently bought that. from the vin i only see plate number "2PHAT" owned by someone in north branch. i wonder if that chris guy with the pink SVT knows anything bout the car or one of the old owners?

I was over there once, they had a 92 escort GT for 200 bucks...that was a few years back, there is no costumer services, is like a yunk yard, they have a ton of cars in all conditions and the prices are low. They only bad thing is that you have to move fast, they have a lot of people coming in , so deals like this wont last.
