I have no personal experience with them, but seeking a qualified inspection is definitely the right thing to do, especially from a "dealer" and especially since it looks like from their website that the cars are of varying levels of history and condition.  Douglas?


Good luck!

I would pass on this one, Steven. I'd leave it at that.

Steven,
  I bought my pagoda 8 years ago from Gullwing Motors. He is a nice guy and he takes many cars on consignment. The warehouse is like a candy store but, the cars are in all sorts of condition. He has some mechanics but, I would not suggest letting him do any work. I went to the warehouse with my local mechanic. I found out that my local mechanic was not very knowledgeable about our cars. I do not consider myself qualified to inspect a car and I dfo not have a mechanic I could refer you to at this time.
  I agree with  Doug that I would pass on this.
Best regards,
