Hey i'm glad i checked your post before i headed out to check them out today, saved me some hassle, like the board said they are very shady, but very tempting to check out some of their cars

Jan, 2013 and they are still up to their old tricks of selling lemons. Nothing changed from 2003 to now and I think they are getting better at ripping people off. Have you noticed that you never see the manager Nick Patel...cause he is always hiding at the back. Sad part is how many of us that get shafted actually go to the right agency to have this business penalized for screwing honest and hard working people over?

Was it the black Kouki with cream seats?

That car had serious holes underneath, bad over spray and overly priced.

Op-If you do decide to buy a car from them. Dont take there saftey! They offered me a saftey on a car i wanted but it wasn't even road worthy.

Albertvthe owner and the entire business he is running is a scam. Sold me a 2013 truck that was involved in "Minor" front collision, "nothing wrong with the engine" he said, "just some body work" Turns out that the "minor" collision bent the crankshaft and cracked the gaskets. He decided to put silicone on the gaskets and put some thick oil in the engine to quite it down. 2 months and 3,000 kms later the engine seized up, I was on the highway with my pregnant wife a 2 year old when it happened. Nearly killed us, now I've gotta get a new engine put in ($20k) and pay for a lawyer to sue him and his business. The risk this guy put my family through was apparently work the money he scammed off me. Tried to get in touch with him but all of a sudden he doesn't pick up the phone and respond to msgs anymore. See you in court Albert, save your money and the stress this guy is a scam artist.

RUN AWAY.. RUN AWAY.... Worst company you could ever deal with . I just found out my 30 k vehicle was in a MAJOR accident and branded as Scrap by Ford. Meaning they will never warranty any part that is ever installed into my vehicle. The used vehicle package showed No accidents... Nice little trick Coliseum pulled. To look at it, you would never know it was in a Major accident, another nice little trick. They are tricky little thieves at best..

Unbelievably Unprofessional.

Everyone needs to do their research with Coliseum Auto Sales. These guys are run by family and friends not professionals who have been trained and certified for the job. There have been news reports about their bad behaviour, several negative reviews STILL confirming those reports from the news and even after they’ve gone to court!!! They have family members fill in positive reviews which is really unprofessional and dishonest to people who are looking for legitimate service. How do I know? Because it doesn’t take much effort to see that Divya Patel is Rahul Patel’s sister according to facebook. A lot of those who give good reviews are also found in their facebook friends. We’re risking our lives here by using Coliseum Auto Sales and wasting our good earned money. This isn’t a shop selling toys to adults you’re selling vehicles to adults and your customer’s safety should be your priority. I’ve done my own research and they’ve even bought followers and likes on social media. Social Blade is a site that you can analyze their instagram followings and their numbers are really unnatural and unsteady which is seen in the majority of fake businesses. They loose and gain unsteady amounts of followers for the amount of content these guys post which makes no sense. They’re fake and scam artists. This is not how you run a business. You can buy several auto shops that don’t match the quality service you provide, tell your family and friends to give you good reviews, and buy followers and likes on social media like Instagram but you can’t buy a good name that’s something that’s going to carry with you guys for a long time.

My short review is that you should not buy from collosuim, I could go into details but the long story short is this is as bad as it get if your thinking about this dealership, don't do it.
