    Default Auto House Ltd

    Any beyonders here have any info or care to share their experiences with this dealership? I'm interested in one of the cars they have on their lot and so far a google search has yielded a fair amount of positive and negative reviews. Are they the typical shady used car sales lot? Thanks!

    They have a lot of ads on kijiji...not sure of shadiness, but I'm assuming they are all cars with bad histories and/or super high km bought from auction and sold at ridiculous mark ups....but if it's a car you want and it's hard to find privately, might be worth it to pay the premium.

    Every used car dealer is shady, but as long as you know that, you can get reasonable vehicles from them if you protect yourself and don't take them at their word for anything.

    Make sure you check all paperwork as my wife had an incident where they used whiteout on the price after the initial application paperwork was signed and magically the SUV was 12k more.

    Their cars are cheap. Too cheap.

    That's the main reason I stayed away from them.

    I noticed that too, hence why I was initially drawn to them. Based on everyone's responses I think i'll be staying away from them and would rather wait for something to come up from a more reputable dealer. Thanks guys!

    Looked at an E92 M3 there once.
    Car was bought from auction in Quebec and had a $17,000 claim due to an accident.

    Walking through the showroom something that I had noticed is that a good percentage of their vehicles had really bad bodywork done to them.

    I didn't get a good vibe and ended up walking away.

    Just go to 9th ave auto. They always are straight shooters
    A Ferrari is a high maintenance chick, you spend money regardless of what you do with her. You can baby the C63, or slap on all seasons, and you won't be spending anything but yearly maintenance. Of course that's like dating a stripper and refusing to fuck her, which would make you gay.

    Car Zone, Southview Motors and Calgary Auto Quest are also decent options for less shady used dealers.
