KG Auto Sales
 
Typically I would never consider buying a used car from a dealership, let alone a Kingsway dealer. However, given how hard it is to find the specific vehicle that I am looking for in good shape and low KMS, I am considering it as this is one of two in the Lower Mainland with the KM range I am OK with. Has anyone had any experience with this place before? If you have and don't want to post in a thread, PM would be OK as well. Thanks.

Iirc this dealer used to be on Byrne road and from what I have gathered most of the dealers on Byrne are either wholesalers that buy trade ins from bug name dealers or they're the type that buys salvage vehicles and recondition them to a rebuilt status. I'd stay away for the most part, but u never know. Still worth checking out IMO but take what they tell u about the vehicle with a grain of salt

Some of the cars at any of those shady dealerships are actually good cars but you have to do your own homework on the car you're interested in by getting your own car proof report (not the one they show you as it could be fake) and if the report is good then do a pre-purchase inspection at a place you choose. And never believe anything the sales person says.

On Byrne Road they had a bodyshop and sold pretty much exclusively rebuilts. About the bottom of the barrel as far as car dealers go...

I typically only see high mileage cars at these places, when I see one with low miles i'm always thinking possible roll-back. But you never know, be diligent and do your research and inspections.

Thanks Mark, will stay away.

Agreed with what jing & lowside67 said.

Don't waste your time on KG and these small shady used car lots. Most cars are either rebuilt or bought cheap from out of province. I used to work in a train yard and saw these used car dealers coming in to pickup their cars. And a whole lot of them are just garbage (ie.water leaks, car won't start or engine runs like a bag of shiat, transmission bang into gear etc etc)

It's all good. I ended up picking something else up :).
