Delivered a car for them MONTHS ago and still no payment. That's not how you're supposed to run a business. BEWARE

My experience with Austin was very professional. Transaction was processed in a timely manner and the truck was delivered on time and in good condition. Would consider another purchase if in the market.

Cannot believe they are still in buissness! They sent our car with a transmission that would not work. This week after threatened to sue they sent the dealership near me a (used) transmission stating it was new! The thing is not working and no warranty after charging me 2400.00 to install. The car has been a lemon from the day we got it from them. They were so rude and could not tell the truth. BEWARE

Don't buy from these crooks the sold me s lemon BMW they nee the car was bad car

I want to be clear up front — I did **not** purchase a vehicle from this dealership. I walked away before bidding because of how they handled basic communication during a Bring a Trailer auction. I was seriously considering buying a 2006 Bentley Flying Spur they had listed, largely for nostalgic reasons since I previously owned the same model. From the beginning, the dealer refused to engage in normal question-and-answer communication on the auction listing. Multiple reasonable diligence questions — the same ones any mechanic or serious buyer would ask — were ignored or answered selectively. Requests for a phone conversation were also ignored until I made it clear I was no longer interested in doing business with them. One bidder even asked for a simple startup video to confirm there were no warning lights on the dashboard — something any professional dealer should be able to provide in minutes. That request was ignored as well. After this experience, I visited the dealership’s website and read through their Google reviews. Unfortunately, what I saw there validated my concerns. Multiple reviewers describe buying vehicles that arrived materially different than advertised, including situations where warning lights appeared shortly after delivery. Several reviews specifically reference Bring a Trailer transactions. Buyers should understand that one tactic sometimes used by higher-risk dealers is clearing diagnostic codes before delivery or test drives, only to claim problems “must have occurred in transport” when warning lights reappear. Whether intentional or not, that pattern shows up repeatedly in the feedback here and should be taken seriously by anyone considering a purchase. Another red flag: calling the dealership routes every extension to voicemail. Messages were not returned. Only after I sent an email stating I was no longer interested did they attempt to call back. I also suspect, based on the volume of glowing one-line reviews, that some buyers may have been incentivized at delivery to leave positive feedback in exchange for small perks like discounted service or minor freebies. That kind of review padding hurts future buyers who rely on reviews when purchasing vehicles sight-unseen. If you see a car here that you absolutely love, do what you want — but protect yourself. Get a **serious independent PPI**, verify everything twice, and don’t rely on assumptions or incomplete answers. Proceed carefully.

I purchased a MINI Cooper from Atlanta Motorsports Sales LLC via Bring a Trailer. Unfortunately, the vehicle was materially worse than described and presented multiple issues that were not adequately disclosed in the listing. Upon delivery and during ownership, I identified numerous problems, including non-functioning hazard lights, a persistent passenger seat warning chime that would not disable, missing engine bay components, a missing hood strut (the hood would not stay up on its own), an inoperative gear indicator, and missing or incorrect exterior window trim. Taken together, these issues raised legitimate safety concerns, particularly for a new driver, to whom the car was intended to be gifted. Delivery itself was also concerning. The car arrived in a shady and unprofessional manner, transported on a pickup-style trailer with no proper unloading equipment, creating an unsafe situation. I have photographs documenting the delivery process. The listing also included a warranty. However, I later received certified mail from the warranty company stating that the dealer never paid for the warranty and that it was therefore canceled. I have retained this correspondence. Over the next two months, I addressed many of these issues myself and ultimately sold the vehicle privately on AutoTrader at a loss, providing full disclosure to the new buyer. When I posted a factual and restrained comment on Bring a Trailer describing my experience, the dealer responded by threatening legal action, despite the comment being accurate and measured. I have documentation supporting all of the above, including repair records/photos, delivery records/photos, and written correspondence. This review reflects my honest experience and is intended to help future buyers make informed decisions.
