Bruce,
I know nothing about them except looking at their website where the cars are advertised at 50% or less of what they should retail for...if they were "for real". I would have to give you a hard pass on these guys.

The above picture is AVA Auto Sales in Long Beach. It's a legit used car dealership.
OP is asking about AIVA Autosales, which has an address of 3041 E La Jolla, in Anaheim. Here's that location:
I am not familiar with AIVA Autosales. Given the prices listed, I question the authenticity of their ads. On the other hand, I don't see their photos showing up anywhere else and they are pretty consistent in how they were taken.

Biz Profile seems to indicate they're a corporation registered in California. According to the listing they've been in business since February 2024.

I picked one picture from the scam website and found the same picture at a different dealer website that shows the car as sold.

The first and only photo from their website that I checked was found at another car dealer website.
