CBS Atlanta‘s Wendy Saltzman has this special Eye On Atlanta Investigation into car dealerships. The dealership highlighted in this video is called Atlanta Ultra Cars 1170 Alpharetta Hwy Roswell, GA 30076.

“ATLANTA UC Inc (also known as ATLANTA ULTRA CARS) are NOTHING SHORT OF CON ARTISTS. Nearly half the cars for sale on their lot have permanent frame damage. A little fact INTENTIONALLY NOT DISCLOSE to consumers Many of the cars are MISSING AIRBAGS. Another little fact they conveniently DO NOT DISCLOSE to consumers.

I was told by the largest LEXUS DEALER in Atlanta as well as CARMAX they see the owners of Atlanta UC at various auctions. They always buy the trashed autos that have been wrecked, have flood damage etc.. They take them to a shop and pretty them up to sell to unsuspecting consumers. Generally, these cars have a clean carfax as the damages are unreported. However, if you run an AUTOCHECK on their vehicles you will be surprised what shows up!!!

Steer clear of Atlanta UC. They are the epitome of a sleazy used car dealer…. especially the owner CASH.”

Motorola’s Aura – Luxury Cell Phones – Limited-Edition

Motorola’s Aura Does Circles Around Cell Phone Market by James Rothaar

Luxury Cell Phones: Motorola’s Aura is the world’s first 16-million color, circular display handset to enter the marketplace. The manufacturer is expecting consumers of its high-end multiple-use, limited-edition personal-communications device to party like it is 1999. Actually, the “1999” is a lead-in to the MSRP of $1,999.99. Its arrival is just in time for the holiday season, as orders being taken now are set to ship during the first week of December. Aura’s revolutionary circular display is more than another pretty geometric shape. The clarity of its 1.55-inch-diameter LCD screen is brilliant with 16 million colors and 300-ppi-resolution. The excellent view remains intact forever, as a scratch-resistant 62-carat sapphire-crystal lens protects the portal-shape screen. The audio is equally clear with CrystalTalk voice-enhancement technology. Its smart features include Internet connectivity, a fixed-focus camera, and a music player. Inspired by high-end watches, the Aura is built with the same degree of precision as a well-made timepiece. It has a stainless-steel casing, a mirror-polish finish, and 700 components. Inspired by the technology found under the hood of high-performance racecars to minimize viscosity, there are three tungsten carbide coated gears in the assisted-opening-blade mechanism along with the section’s 200 parts and 130 ball bearings. It weighs in at less than five ounces and is less than two inches tall and approximately four inches wide. The Motorola Aura is a precisely made visually appealing technologically advanced personal-communication device that is going to be on the wish lists of many electronic-gadget aficionados this holiday season. The handheld work of art is a MotoStore exclusive item available online through Motorola. For more information, visit the MotoStore.
