Has anyone ever heard of these guys or based locally in TN ?
Not much shows up on google, looks like they changed names recently and registered their domain.

They have a 99 C2 Cab for just over 12K

too good to be true also for that kind of miles & price...there's gotta be some hidden defects that doesn't show up on carfax...unless they are desperate for a sale

Anything which is too good to be true, usually is!!! First thing I'd do is get the VIN and run a Carfax. These guys are professionals, they know what it is really worth.

It's a scam

This is a total scam. I was looking at the 2005 911 for $19K. They have a car fax on the add, however I pulled my own car fax and there was a lot of inconsistencies. Just for ****'s and giggles, I went ahead and proceeded to purchase the car using the purchase now button. The only option I had for payment was via Money Gram. Just like the scams you see on Auto Trader, they ask you to wire a deposit, they send the car for your inspection, if your completely satisfied with the car then you send them the remaining balance. However you never get the car and they keep your $2500 deposit. They did do a good job on the website. It appears totally legit. Sneaky Motha F'rs!

Total scam

I agree that this is a total scam. There are alot of these scams around. All of them seem to be based on wiring money - which is a big red flag in anyones book.

Look at all the cars on their website - if there was any truthfulness to the available cars, any dealer worth his salt could buy the lot and make a mint

Once again....if it seems too good to be true, thats because its not true!!

Thanks Vipercliff, never thought about trying a buy now. Would never wire money if that came out.

Taken directly from their website:

"The main office of Any Credit Car Sales, Inc. is located in Dunlap, TN. Our headquarter address is: 92 Resource Rd., Dunlap, TN, 37327, United States. Phone: (800) 893-6652.

So the 800# is a recording that directs you back to the web site. The address belongs to Citizens Tri-County Bank. I called them and they confirmed that their address is being used by Any Credit Car Sales, Inc. on the website, and that it is fraudulent. They have been getting a lot of calls and people stopping by the bank asking about this company. Wow! these guys went all out on this one. Hope no one falls for it.
