Nice Cars Company

When you get a used car your job is to have it checked by a mechanic. All these people here are oblivious to that. You take your chances.

I bought a good used car and not only checked car fax but had a mechanic look it over BEFORE I purchased it.

Its a used car dealership and you buy AS IS.

YOU CANNOT EXPECT THEM TO FIX WHEN IT BREAKS AFTERWARDS. DAH

I was and still am happy with my purchase and would recommend this dealership.

Stay away they will suck u dry nothing but straight rip offs

Stay away. Very far away.

This dealership will suck you dry.

engin bad, drive train bad, breaks bad, oh man out tons of $. Bad company!!!

Why are there so many bad sales men in the world who say one thing and give you another. Stay far far away. Never shop her. Promises are worthless!

warrantys are ***. cars are totaled out cars with vins swapped. Never trust these guys!!!

I did a bit of checking around and everyone else is saying the same thing they are expecting me to pay a whopping 18,000 grand for the car and there have been a few happy people but as you read on on the reviews on this place you will find so many bad ones you will want to stay far far away!!!!! Good luck hunting for the right one.

Chasing down B4 Passats gets a little rough. Bob and his crew of Gas Monkeys promised a rig that had been in storage for the last few years, and had factory original windshield, and stereo.

I took off with a poorly installed Kenwood without the antenna connected. So no radio for the next 4 days up the ALCAN. I latter teased out a TUPAC CD, and judging by the condition of the suspension, this thing had been RALLYED!!! All 4 doors had poorly adjusted and worn handles, windows did not work, or came off the tracks.

For a rig that was supposed to have been rebuilt from the ground up, I am a little upset.

I could go on, but I don't want to be petty. Just buyer be freaking beware!!!

Bob promises you the "Nicest Restored TDI on the planet!" from this hokey shop in Bellingham staffed by kids and amateurs. Six months after the initial payment for a 1996 Passat TDI Wagon and many phone calls later, I received anything but a nicely restored TDI.

Broken brake caliper, loose steering column in the assembly; runs, swirling, ghosting, and scratches all over the "new" paint, diesel leaking down the front of the engine, loose door panels, crooked body lines, both door lock cylinders fell out, old worn and cracked leather seats, stereo loose in the dash, rattling sunroof, a duct taped door latch assembly roller, completely loose door trim on driver's door, cracked plastic trim throughout the interior, rear shocks so bad that the vehicle bounces 5 times + down the road after hitting a bump...with oil leaking out of them ...and on and on...

I knew there was a risk, but I could never in a million years fathom that I could pay so much and get such *** in return, the whole time Bob defending the car and the restoration. I can not believe it.

If only I could rewind the clock. Don't get pulled into Bob's web of deceit.

Bought a used car here. We tried to haggle the price down, but Bob was adamant that the car was worth every penny and he wouldn't negotiate.

After paying the tab and driving off the lot, we stopped to remove the "for sale" sticker from the windshielnd. Underneath was a baseball sized chip. OMG. How *** were we?

A day later the headlights stop working. A week later the radiator springs a leak. Next day, the power steering pump goes out.

*** it, Bob. You got me.

I saved up that money on my own for a whole year. ***.

Never again though. I hope you end up living under a bridge eating canned dog food as karma for your dishonest dealings.

We paid $14,500 for a "completely restored" 1997 VW Passat Wagon Tdi BV4 (the crown jewel of the tdis) from Nice Cars in Bellingham, (also doing business as Fritz German, Fastlane Fleet, and German Automotive). This car has severe mechanical problems, cannot pass smog inspection and will continue to be a money pit.

The sales pitch is vast and alluring, but the product is a sham.

Do not buy a car from Nice Cars without having it thoroughly inspected by a diesel mechanic, do not give money up front, and do not pay $14,500 for a 1997 VW. Learn from our expensive mistake.

DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THESE SCAMMERS. I made the mistake of spending several thousand dollars there for a used car.

I started having problems within a week of owning it. For example, the check engine light had been disconnected behind the guage cluster. Rather than fix the problems they unplugged it so it would appear okay. There is water leaking in from several spots causing mold and mildew.

The entire electrical system has been cut up and is held together with tape. The brakes started leaking. The engine burns a quart of oil every week. The paint started peeling off, the door locks stopped working, the a/c stopped working.

The power mirrors werent working, there was so much wiring *** shoved inside them they couldn't move. Avoid this place like the plague.

What is bad is that they don't open sometimes until noon which is strange. When they do open they do super good work.

I have a Passat TDI diesel, a 1996 Sedan. WE were traveling through Bellingham coming back from the Olympics when our TDI started losing power. WE went to the Factory Volkswagen Dealer in town in Bellingham. They charged us $210 to tell us we needed a new $1400 Turbo which they had to order and wait 2 days.

A mechanic there quietly recommended we take our car to Nice Cars. So, we did. WE got there at 10AM and waited until noon, they showed up and got our car's turbo running great with no parts, just an intake cleaning and pump timing. By 3PM we were on our way and it cost us $175 thats it, Way cheaper than the VW Dealership.

Its good to find honest people. Floe, Arcata,CA

Bought a VW Golf TDi from this company. They claim to have tons of experience with TDi (diesels) and the cars come with a 1 year warranty.

Yeah, right! Car had problems literally from the second I test drove it. I should have walked away but they made promises and I needed a car (yes, I was an ***). 3 weeks after I bought the car, the turbo went bad.

This is when their "warranty" turned out to be as worth about what the piece of paper was it was written on. They claimed that the turbos "never go bad" and that it wasn't a covered part. $900 for a new turbo. At that point I did my research and it turns out this is a common problem and they SHOULD have known if they have any knowledge of TDi's.

Talking to other mechanics in the area turned up plenty of evidence that their mechanics aren't trained on TDi's and one look at their "service area" ought to put you off (most legit shops at least have a LIFT!).

A bit more research turned up a fine from the state for selling rebuilt cars and plenty of other complaints from people online. Yeah, my bad for not doing enough due diligence and being suckered, but hopefully this will help others avoid a mistake.
