When you think of an used car dealership, typically its not a pleasant idea. Everybody dreams of a fresh car off the lot. When I was searching for a particular car, the folks at Auto Strada gladly helped search for it. Unlike a typical used car dealership where you simply purchase the car off the lot, Auto Strada has cars under consignment. When I first walked into the showroom floor, I was amazed at the pristine condition of a Ferrari F430. This place only displays and helps sell the top demanded cars. I was quite happy rolling out the lot with my Evo IX. read more

Auto Strada - Car Dealers Near Me - Bensalem, Pennsylvania

I'm posting this here for reference so all can see the abbreviated version of what I've been through with my car. I purchased my 2004 SRT-4 in late May 2006. It was listed by AutoStrada in an eBay auction. The following parts were listed in to auction but were not actually included on the car: (this is a direct copy/paste from the auction) Mopar Stage 3 Turbocharger/manifold Mopar Stage 2 Performance Upgrade AGP Frontmount Intercooler AGP Fuel Pressure Regulator Mopar 255lph Fuel Pump Mopar Stage 2 (672cc/min) Injectors Mopar Stage 3 Fuel Rail MSD Ignition System Greddy Type-S Blow Off Valve 400 HP and a 11.7 1/4 mile time Me, not knowing the parts like I do now, fell for it. The car did not have any stage 2 parts on it, had the stock turbo, stock computer, a ebay intercooler, ebay BOV, no ignition system, and a very bad tune. (the car dynoed at 206hp after fixing some bad boost leaks) Scott Lindenbaum of PA is the original owner of the car. He sold/traded the car to AutoStrada of Bensalem, PA. AutoStrada is the used car dealer that put the car on eBay with the parts listed that Scott gave them Right after I purchased the car I noticed a couple things were funny. As I started to dig deeper I found that things were missing. I contacted AutoStrada and they basically said that I would have to talk to Scott. I did. I asked him about the injectors, and the fuel pump. He said that he must've given AutoStrada the wrong list and that he did take some things off of the car before selling it. He said he would try to find some of them for me. A week goes by, nothing, two weeks, I call him. He said he'd call me back, he doesn't, etc etc. At this point I'm trying to get AutoStrada to do something. I left them negative feedback on eBay because they weren't returning my calls, and I was starting to get impatient. Immediately after I did this, I get a call from the General Manager. He says we'll get things taken care of and also get the negative feedback removed. To make another long story short, I basically get the same run around from them, they do nothing, and they no longer have negative feedback. So, after 6 months of owning the car, I've pretty much put on the car what was supposed to be on it to begin with, and I haven't heard from AutoStrada or Scott Lindenbaum. In all, the parts missing, if I were to buy them, would be around $4000, not including any kind of installation or shipping Scott Lindenbaum is a lying theif. He owns a car detailing business. AutoStrada does not know what they are selling, and did not help with any part of this matter. read more

Auto Strada - Car Dealers Near Me - Bensalem, Pennsylvania

Was searching for a car, but a specific car. Spent a long time trying to find the perfect car. Was looking for a 2008 - 2009 dodge caliber SRT4. They were limited production so they are hard to find, but in my searching I found a dealership about 2.5-3 hours away from me named autostrada that had one in stock. Called up and talked to a guy named mike. Very friendly guy at first. Very helpful. Made an appointment to come take a look at the car. Drove down couple days later and Tested it talked numbers and what not. He would not go down in price at all. He said any price ending in zero is the final price. If the asking price ends with any other number there is room to play. So after about an hour and a half trying to get a better price still wouldn't budge. So still put deposit down. Picked up the car that weekend and paid the rest and drove home. after having the car for 3 full days I pull in to the gas station and when I was ready to leave the car would not start. Very upsetting. Got it jumped and went home to wake up early to buy a new battery before work. Called mike up he now wasn't as friendly all he had to say is "batteries are like light bulbs you never know when they will go" so I lost out and now there went another $130 for a battery. 1 month later the engine light goes on. And my fuel gauge level goes from empty to full. Luckily that was still covered under the factory warranty I had for 2k more miles. First time went in and out with in an hour. 20 miles later light back on. Went back and forth 4 times. Did not drive my car I just bought for a month because they could not find the problem. Was very un pleased and very upset about the purchase. Now everything is fixed and running great Never was a fan of used car dealerships. Knowing what car I wanted and how hard they are to find I gave in. Autostrada is just another used car dealerahip. Most Likely will never purchase another vehicle from them nor recomend buying a car from them. With out any budge on pricing and still have the problems I did was very frustrating. read more

I like this place. I was actually looking for another car dealership when I came across Autostrada. The owner (I forget his name) was awesome, he gave me a pretty good deal on my car. I purchased it, he had it detailed and ready for me the very next day. While shopping for my car, there was no pressure whatsoever on making a purchase, it was a very comfortable experience. I felt that the owner was very honest with me. The only negative experience I had was when I first arrived to the lot, we asked a worker a question and his response was "I'm on break." We almost turned around and left and they could have lost a lot of money. So, long story short. I was very happy with my purchase and I definitely recommend this place to anyone searching for a used car. read more

This is the one of worst used car dealership I have ever been to and I do not recommend anyone going here. I showed up to look at one of their cars I found online and when I got there it took me forever to get someone to help me. After checking out the car and getting all of the information about the it I left. The next day I decided to buy the car so I called them up and spoke with the salesman about the price of the car. I spent all day on and off the phone with the salesman discussing the price of the car which was not a problem at all. After we agreed on the price we made a verbal agreement that I was going to buy the car and that they would save it for me so I can come pick it up at the end of the week. I told him that I could not come in till the end of the week to give him a down payment in cash because I live 45 minutes but I had no problem giving him the down payment with a credit card over the phone. He replied that it was not a problem I could wait till the end of the week when I came to pick the car up to give them the down payment. When I got off the phone with him I went and applied for a credit loan on there website. Which I feel is a huge mistake because they have all my personal information and I can not really trust them with it. After waiting two days I finally got a call from the salesman saying he had good and bad news. The good news was that my loan was approved but the bad news was that someone else bought the car the night before. I understand that I never signed a written contract or put any money down on the car but the salesman gave me his word and we had a verbal agreement that he would hold the car for me. The fact of the matter is that I invested a lot of time in trying to get this car and they gave me there word that the car was going to be sold to me and in the end they ended up not keeping there promise and selling it to someone else. It just shows that they can not be trusted and when it comes to a car dealer that is an extremely important thing. read more
