My Review of ACA Cars of Dublin:
I have bought two cars from them. 2001 lexus RX300 a few years ago, and a infiniti from them. price wise they are the best I have seen on both of my searches. yeah the cars were not as clean as franchise dealerships, and they did have some cars that were not for me, but i did my research before I went there and got a great deal both times. I like them, I worked with Kerry the first time, and Alex the second time. They were both very nice to me. Mark was the boss there...he was nice too. they had a very layback atmosphere, no pushy salespeople like some other dealers out there.

My Review of ACA Cars of Dublin:
After submitting an online financing application and following up with the requested documentation (which we had to call them 5 days later to inquire about before they asked us for it), another week went by and we called to follow up and they hadn't even LOOKED at our application.

HORRIBLE customer service. They appeared to have decent cars, but based on some other reviews I'm glad we never had the opportunity to find out.

My Review of ACA Cars of Dublin:
I have bought a few cars from ACA Cars' auctions over the last twelve years. I like auctions and every few years I forget how bad the cars are from this place and each time I'm hopeful that this time it will be different. But, every car I have bought from this auction has had major problems. It's definitely more than a coincidence and I have since heard that most of their cars are cars that would not sell at dealer auctions because they're rejected by dealers who actually inspect them...or they're repossessed and often trashed.

My last experience I will not forget so I won't be bidding on any more cars there. Once again, I was passing by and saw that the auction was going on and ended up bidding on a car I had not inspected (yes that's my fault). But, as the bidding progressed, I bid (my 1st bid) $5100 and someone else bid 5200 and then they asked me for a bid of $5300; I said NO. Well, I was out of the bidding at that point but, as it turns out, the other bidder at $5200 backed out! I believe that was NOT a real bidder but planted by the auction to drive up the bidding. They insisted (under threat to take me to court) that I buy the car at $5100 (+10%). Why would any auction let buyers back out of any bid unless it was their own planted bidder?? I saw time after time this happen again where bidding will run up then trickle back down (to a real bidder)...or bidding will 'fade away' with no real buyer...and the car returns the next month. Once again, since this experience, others who seem knowledgeable have said that they do have phantom bidders planted at this auction.

Anyway, once again hopeful the car would be ok, when I looked inside the car (after the auction) well, there was unidentified 'stuff' on the back seat (throw-up it looked like) and there was no way I was going to bring home a car for my son in that kind of condition...after some hours of negotiation, I still ended up loosing $1275 on canceling the sale. Absolutely a ridiculous process I would not recommend to anyone. Auction regulators need to inspect their selling process.
