Where does L A Motorcars get its cars?

L A Motorcars gets its pre-owned inventory from a variety of sources. Our cars are almost always franchise dealership trade-ins and/or lease returns. We have relationships with over 100 dealerships and brokers and buy only the highest quality preowned cars. A typical scenario is one in which a dealer obtains a car through a trade-in and that dealer is neither a specialist or is not allowed to sell a particular make of car. They call us, (we are not a local competitor), and we purchase the vehicle from them and make the car available online to a national market.

Can I have the car mechanically inspected?

It is our absolute mission for you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase. L A Motorcars allows full pre-buy inspection of all its vehicles from any inspection service you desire. For your convenience, L A Motorcars recommends the following automotive inspection firm: The Auto Critic 972-386-8388. This company offers thorough and honest inspections. You can contact them directly to schedule an inspection. We also recommend and do offer extended warranties.

What can I expect from my purchase?

You can expect great service, a great price and an impeccable car. We aim to describe the car as accurately as possible. We do offer only pre-owned vehicles and by definition our vehicles are not brand new. Most of our offerings are equal to first line vehicles sold in reputable franchised dealerships across the country. In fact, many of these dealers buy our inventory only to turn around and sell it at much higher prices. It is important when buying a used vehicle to understand that it is not brand new - it has been driven a certain number of miles.

I am out-of-town, how will I get the car?

L A Motorcars uses a fully bonded and insured transportation service that will deliver the vehicle to your door. The transport usually takes about 10 days and costs around $750 depending on your location. Vehicle delivery usually take between 1 and 2 weeks. We also welcome you to come to us. Many customers book a flight into Dallas Love Field or DFW Airport. Should you choose this option, we'll be glad to pick you up from the airport.

These vehicles are USED vehicles and are not new. Please expect a certain amount of wear, use, and flaws, as is standard on ANY used car. All used cars including this one may have dings, nicks, chips, scratches and any other marks that are associated with use consistent with age and mileage of the vehicle. Obviously, a car that is 10 years old will show more wear and have more flaws than one that is 2 years old. While we try to service any known defects it is still possible for used vehicles to need service or repairs the first days or weeks of ownership. NOT likely, but possible! Since these vehicles are used, please remember that books, extra keys, remote entry keys, CD cartridges, etc..., do not always remain with vehicles throughout their life. We will not be responsible for these minor accessories. These items are all replaceable at any local factory dealer or right here on eBay for a few dollars. We strongly recommend that all buyers purchase the optional extended warranty. This will help defray the cost of mechanical repairs, if any, in the future
