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.”
