They have a lot of Vettes listed online . Do they also have a Webster location ?
Never mind i see your in NJ . So actually looking at the car would be after deposit or when it arrived shipped to you . It would have to be inspected by an independent inspection service before i bought something long distance .

I bought my 97 from them 4 years ago -- have had no problems related to the dealer (just the ones that most Vettes have anyway) -- I had the advantage of being local and seeing the car before the purchase though. There were mods on the car that they did not reveal but I saw in person (headers) . No real info available on the prior history of the cars - so inspection is critical. I think the whole deal is you get better prices than most places but run the risk of unknown problems - like any other ebay based buy.
Lots of Houston guys on the forum - if you have a car picked out, maybe one of us could check it out.

After seeing the amount of complaints, especially the BBB, I would not go near the place unless I lived there. There has got to be cars in my tristate area, NY, NJ, PA.
I'm over a month away from pulling the trigger, so there's no reason to get excited about a particular car. Right now it's a scouting expedition.

From the BBB website:
"Please note that the company claims all cars they sell are sold 'As Is'. In the State of Texas the Lemon Law covers brand new cars only, not USED cars. If a car is sold "as is" the company has no obligation to repair any item on the car once it is sold."
Very important to know.

Every used car from a dealer has problems. Mine doesnt even lock. Its been like that for a few months now. I guess I can call to get it fix being I bought a 3 year 36000 mile warranty to go with it. If you buy a used car expect something. I would rather have something simple like locks than a bad oil pump.

My Brother and I have both purchased from Texas Direct Auto in Stafford, Texas. We both had pleasant experiences and would do business with them again. I also have a co-worker that purchased from them. He got a good car for a good price, but TDA had apparently acquired the vehicle from a dealer that had gone under. As a result, TDA could not get the title cleared in a reasonable amount of time. After 3 months they told him he could bring the car back. They did, however, make him whole!
Again, I have bought from them and would do it again! HTH

Only 116 Complants for the last 12 months, for the size of that place I would say that's a good report.
Take it a step further and you would see that over 30 of them were resolved and quite a few more is just normal paper issues.
I have been there and I have to say, I was impressed. That place is huge and the selection is vast.
OP: Good Luck with your search!
