First, the possitive reviews on this site about Austins Affordable Autos are fake. There is a review on this page that I wrote on another site many months ago and I have since recanted my opinion of this company. The author that copied it from that site to this site also added words to it to benefit the image of the company.
Second, check the BBB website this company has an ""F"" rating. The lowest possible score given by the Better Business Bureau. That alone should speak for itself, but if you need more evidence that these are fake just google ""Austin's Affordable Auto's"". Reality of this dealership and its management will set in real fast.
This company sells cars to people who are a high risk of defaulting on thier loans and reposession. They will sell a car to just about anyone under the pretence that they are a nice dealership trying to help your credit situation. In reality, they are selling you a car because there is a 99% chance that you will make a few payments and then either be late on a payment or default. Regardless of the senario, if you are even a day late on your payments the company will repo your car. This is in the managments own words.
The contract clearly states, that the cost for repo is a $500.00 administration fee, plus a $250.00 repo fee, Plus $20.00 for every day you are late. Plus the past due amount.
Most cars on this lot are around 10 years of age. If you are buying a 10 year old car you can expect some issues. With that in mind it comes with an ""As-is"" no warranty in allmost all cases
This dealership is a predator. My advise is that you stay away from it and any dealer that offers ""Buy-Here Pay -Here"" scemes.
If you see 5 or 10 possitive reviews quickly posted above this one that sound like they are coming from a salesman upping the image of the company there is your sign this company is being deceptive and posting their own reviews.
