I purchased a car from ""Motorcars of Elyria"" back when they were still on ebay motors. The fact they no longer do business through ebay ought to tell you something. I was not surpised at all to know the car came from an auction - extremely common for used car dealers to obtain their inventory this way. However, they provided a CarFax (joke) that indicated the mileage and no accidents. I was nieve enough to not notice all the signs this car had been in an accident. Not sure if / how the CarFax (clean) could have been altered but judging from what I now know, this was not a small amount of damage. This is obviously why the car was being offered at a reduced price. OK - that ought to make it fair, right? Not really - if they informed me the car was damaged and reparied and I chose to pay what I did, that would be fine. But I did not know. They certainly did or they would not have offered the vehicle at such an attractive price. They got it for less at auction so they could take less retail. You don't get something for nothing. Lesson learned. Don't you be fooled too!! Please also note the two bad reviews all the way at the bottom (the first ones). I will let you form your own conclusions about the dates and frequenies of all the five star reviews that followed. I have noticed this same pattern on other review sites. If you still choose to do business with them please be warned that you are very likely purchasing a damaged / repaired vehicle (regardless of what CarFax indicates). If you are ok with that given the price and consider it a fair deal, then go for it. Otherwise run away. I wish I had. Now I have cracked paint, misaligned parts, and rust starting where it would not otherwise.
