Default Hmm?

Do a BBB check for them. If you can't find them using google, you won't be able to find them if you have an issue.

Doesn't it seem weird that this dealer says he has 6966 cars in inventory, but doesn't provide a location anywhere on the website. Or that all the cars look like they were photographed in a Disneyworld parking lot?
oops, take that back, the minute the webisite comes up, an address is flashed in the top bar, for 15 seconds: 1000 E. Robinson St. Orlando
or that their contact us (and url) is another website address orlando auction direct
oops one listing got picked up in another searchbot and they report the address as

2015 BMW Z4 sDrive28i at orlando auction direct - Research ...
orlando auction direct. 260 S OSCEOLA AVE Orlando, FL 32801. (407) 537-7467.

of course that link is broken now.

You do know that there is more than one big rat in Orlando?

Be careful Bill. I was at Barrett Jackson last week. Happened to chat with a gentleman who lost a deposit to some online fly by night. The problem is that because millennials are lazy and gullible, and fall for stupid gimmicks like car vending machines and true price guarantees online, (I'm 42, don't OK Boomer me), the scum among us thrive online and prey on folks with prices that are too good to be true, often times keeping you on the hook just long enough to get your deposit. Buyer beware

The 'vending machine' guy was recently featured in a local newspaper article as one of the richest in Arizona. You might think his concept is stupid, but I guarantee you he does not.

Hey, more power to him. He found a gimmick, he’s raking it in. I’m a capitalist, why not, he found what works with today’s bozos, and he’s capitalizing on it.
