Is this dealership in NJ just one giant scam?

While I was looking around the interwebs, I came across a 2011 V12 Vantage manual with 28k miles for $45k. Definitely seems too good to be true, so I checked out the other Astons on their website.

A 2010 V8V for $27k? A 2014 Vanquish for $50k? This can't be above-board. Are they all horribly-repaired salvage cars, or is it just some big scam? Can anyone who lives in New Jersey comment on this?

It's a fake website, total scam!!! The pictures aren't even at a car lot no VIN # listed which is the first sign of its not real. None of the links work, meet staff, about us etc.

The descriptions of powertrain on some of the cars is great, 1969 Camaro that's AWD with a inclined 6cyl. Front wheel drive Chevelle with a V6 3.7 litre. Some of the pictures are cars driving down the road. Several I recall from BaT listing Ex, White DB7 Volante was a rare 6-speed manual. It lists it as auto. Again no VAN'S are listed which is federal law for dealers to display in advertising vehicles.

Interesting. They put one of them (the 2014 Vanquish) on Autotrader, and it lists the VIN as SCFLDCFP6EG305543. I wonder whose car that actually is.

Maybe I'll drop an anonymous tip to law enforcement.

Edit: I looked it up on Google streetview. It's a legitimate business (barely... one of those crappy "buy here, pay here, everyone's approved" places), but the number on the front of the building is different from the one on the website. However, the website listed on the Google search results is the same. Interesting.

Quick note: don't visit the website, it's malicious. I just got two password reset confirmation emails from Facebook after visiting it. It's a phishing website.

I deleted the link to it in my original post.

I reported it to Google earlier, the VIN for the Vanquish was a fake one, last 6 were not AM specific.

61mga is infamous around these parts
i've learned that anything on the net that looks too good to be true...IS!

don't even go there, they are nothing more than a new-age version those personal emails you used to get from the king of siam informing you that his majesty wants to send you $10,000, and would, if he only knew your password and bank account number.

I like to ask these scammers where the car is located. When they reply, I say "Great. I am near by. When can I come see it? Cash buyer." Never hear back after that one.
