Hey there,

I did a search on these guys, but haven't been able to find any feedback (positive or negative). Anyone have experience with this used dealer in Etobicoke. Seem to carry mostly European models at decent prices. Some BMW's even claim to have "extended BMW warranty". Does this mean CPO? I thought only BMW dealers could offer that. Confused.

Any and all feedback appreciated.

I'd also like to know as they have one particular vehicle I'm interested in. I'm going to call them today and find out if the car I'm interested in is an American vehicle (could be why the pricing is so competitive).

My relative in the car business says the owner (Sam) is a straight shooter. His inventory is generally composed of quality cars.

(I mean, he's a terrible dealer and you should stay away from him since I am interested in a manual Bimmer he has and I don't want you guys to steal it from me!)

Haha, no worries, I'm interested in an automatic Audi.

Let me know how it all goes. It would be nice to have at least one dealer in the GTA that isn't notorious for selling accident vehicles and lying about it. I'm looking to buy in the spring, and their inventory is comprised of basically the types of vehicles i'd be looking at (3 series, a4's, 5 series)

P.S. Is it the white 335i? I'd definitely be looking at it if it was the spring right now ;o) ....well based on the reviews that come in on this place. If you have a relative in the car business, why are you not getting him to hook you up without having to worry about shadiness?

Well, I called them yesterday and they told me that the car I was interested in has been sold, but they also disclosed all information I requested, such as whether it had been in an accident (it had), Canadian or American vehicle (all their cars are Canadian), etc.

So I won't be going there unless they get another similar vehicle in the next little bit.

I wanted to bump this old thread to see if anyone has experiences (positive or negative) to add about Dupont Auto Center. I went by there today (knowing they'd be closed) to check out what they have on the lot. For the most part, the vehicles look in great shape. This sometimes worries me too. (i.e. There are enough inconsiderate morons in parking lots and stones/debris from driving that the cars should have picked up a couple scratches or dings over 3-4 years). Most had spotless paint. Either they found the cream of the crop, or some repainting is going on.

Either way, I'm trying to compile a list of reputal places to shop used in the spring.

Thanks!

They do carry the cream of the crop!!! I purchased my Mercedes-Benz from them 3 months ago and I can honestly say that this dealership is perhaps one of the better ones in the GTA area.
