| Has anyone bought from SCC Motors?
I know that it used to be Richmond Daewoo, but has anyone gone there and bought something? I'm assuming they're super shady considering the cars and price. I am curious on how the cars are tho.

the only way to find out is pick the car you want....bring it to your mechanic and have a 150 point inspection done.

i believe (correct me if wrong) there was a thread about that dealer awhile ago.
if memory serves me right, many people said it was shady?
but ya get it checked, carfax etc. shady dealer does not cecessarily mean shady car

Yeah, I'll be getting a pre-purchase inspection regardess with a dealer. Im just curious on how they get their cars and why some of them are inexpensive. I can only find one review online and it was for "Richmond Daewoo"

I would just recommend to not be cheap and play it safe, pay for BCAA to come do a 150 point inspection as Soltaa has mentioned.

Hey everyone, I swung by SCC today. The cars there are crap, just like their salesmen. Apparently new brakes and tires mean....
Front brakes: 60% worn
Rear brakes: 70% worn
Front tires: 70% worn
Rear tires: 40% worn
