If you go through their inventory you'll notice many other cars at really good price. They're are also on cars.com Actually, their prices are little "too good". Anyone knows what's the catch here?

Thanks

So I just gave them a call and they said that car has already been sold. Guy sounded really uninterested and not well spoken. Did not offer another car, or if he can help me with anything else, he just said "bye". Sounded really shady.

There are a lot of places that buy flood vehicles and fix them. I bet that was the case. Just remember, when something seems to good to be true, it normally is. :)

Also, stick with a GTI. I just got rid of an 08 328xi with 50k on it. I had a year of warranty left but needed a service done on the brakes and the battery was about due to be replaced. They wanted $1600 for brakes front and rear with rotors and $500 for the battery. That was the price at every BMW dealer around me. Its not even about the money, its that because there is a BMW emblem on the car they fill the can ass F@#k you.

So I did some digging on that dealership and it looks like that place is very shady. Not a one good review, and most reviewers reported full blown scams.

Not sure how they stay in business though.

As a matter of fact if you input "park place of new jersey review" in Google search, first page results comes up with sites like: scamreport, pissedconsumer.com, ripoffreport.com etc.. LOL Yep, staying away from them.
