5280 Imports

These guys were straight-​forward and honest! I purchased a 2004 Volkswagen GTI and it is the best vehicle I have had. I’m surprised about some of the reviews I see here (I know some of these people have only 1 review which makes me wonder if they are legit) but If you ask for Taylor, you will not be disappointed!
Thank you 5280 Imports!

I was hesitant on writing a review for 5280 imports but after reading some of the recent reviews I can very much agree with the others. About 9 months ago, I planned on purchasing my first vehicle. I was 18 years old at the time. I went to 5280 to look at a 2003 Subaru wrx. Mario assured me that the vehicle was in great condition and he offered me to test drive the vehicle. It was a very uncomfortable feeling. when I found out that I had to drive with one of them. it was like they didn’t want you too really drive the car and they where pressuring you to hurry the test drive. I ended up buying the vehicle, and when I took it to the emissions I found out that the car was missing the catalytic converter I called 5280 imports and told them about the problem. They told me to bring it in. So I did just that. When I get to the dealer ship their «mechanic» started to argue with me telling me that the catalytic converters where on the vehicle. And that the air flow sensor was bad. Mario, Edgar and the «mechanic» assured me that the problem would be dealt with and they would give me my car back to pass emissions. After 3 days of calling in and asking if my vehicle was done and getting the same reply «it’ll be done tomorrow». I decided to go to the dealership and see what was going on. After seeing that my vehicle had not moved in 3 days. I told them that I was going to take my vehicle and deal with it myself. But they wouldn’t let me take my car because they claimed to of put a new air flow sensor and I had to pay for it. I had refused to pay for it and told them to change it back. The «mechanic.» Said «I threw it away». Why would you throw away parts that don’t belong to you? After arguing for about 10 min with them the owner came out and assured me that it would be taken care of by Saturday (i went in on a Wednesday). Finally they came thru with their word and my car was given to me on Saturday. But about 2 week later I get diagnosed with a bad tranny by a mechanic. DO NOT BUY HERE TRUST ME. IT IS BETTER TO WAIT AND SAVE TO BUY FROM A BIGGER DEALERSHIP. These people are scam artist BEWARE.

Very disappointed in 5280 Imports. I purchased 2 cars and both had transmission problems a few months after purchase. It appears the owner buys the cars with problems and does not disclose the problems.
What are the odds of purchasing a vehicle and 3 months later and the transmission failing? I went back and the owner Taylor did sell me another car at a discount and yes a few months later transmission failure too! They are different make and models too. Do not buy this dealer! The cars are junk! You will be throwing your money away!
