Bought a 2007 Hyundai Elantra GLS from this place. It had only 57K miles, but it was salvage title. Apparently the impact was on the rear fender of the driver side by the fuel door. If there's one (or a few, actually) thing about salvage titled cars, it's to determine if any major parts were damaged during the accident. Fuel door, eh. Rear fender, eh. Took a chance and I didn't regret it. Ran great, put another 10K miles on it with minor maintenance such as oil changes, and it kept running like a new car. Granted my wife wanted me to get rid of it, so I did and got a SUV ... I'm actually having problems with my new SUV which I never had with my Hyundai Elantra with a Salvage Title ... So I'd definitely give this place a look, and I'll probably stop by sometime soon again to check out the inventory since it seems much better than back then when I bought the Elantra, hah!

I was in the market for a car and I saw a Honda Civic for sale at Marx Motors online from Craigslist. I went out to look at the car and it had a salvage title because the car was stolen and declared a loss. I took the car for a test drive, the car drove incredibly well and it was very clean. I asked about the salvage title and he told me it was a stolen car. I ran a report on Carfax and got the same information. I have had the car for a little more than a month now and I have done three things to it. I put on new front tires because the ones on the car were worn. I put in new speakers because the speakers in the door were not working. I also had to put in a headlight (which is a pain in the little Honda Civics. The car had a little over 50,000 miles on it when I got it. I saved between $3,500 and $4,000 by buying a salvage titled car and because it was only stolen, it drives like it is new. I love this car. The buying process was easy because I paid cash, but I negotiated a price and we agreed on it. Other than that, the transaction went well because I knew what I was looking at and I knew what I was going to get. All in all, I would have made the exact same purchase without any hesitation. Be prepared to be underwhelmed by their ambiance!
