This review is mainly for salesman/broker Thomas. I purchased a 99 Honda from him knowing the car was (a: bought at auction, (b: as-is, and (c: waiting for the title to appear from the auction house. Now, as a general guide, I normally would NOT have bought a car unless there was title-in-hand but I felt that would not be an issue in this case as Thomas and I would be doing all of our paperwork through the dealer's office he worked from as a broker. BAB didn't even mind that I could not take the vehicle for 5 days as I had no way to get from Bellville and back to Missouri with the car until the weekend. When I got back to BAB to pick up the car I was surprised to discover the title had not yet arrived. However, as I did purchase temp tags for the car, I was still prepared to take possession and wait for the title to appear. There was some kind of snafu with the temp tags (they ran out of MO tags) and BAB immediately refunded my money for the tags. A few days later, they comped me a set in consideration for not being able to do what was promised which I thought was fair. The title, though, had still not been discovered. It turns out that the dealership that had sent the car to auction had failed to properly turn the title over, lost it, and had to pay to have another issued to replace it. This sounds simple, right? But it was complicated and it took 5 weeks to finally get the title. Throughout this process, Thomas stayed in touch with me. Some weeks we spoke and texted half-a-dozen times. It was difficult for both sides of this deal as I had bought the car as a gift for my son and Thomas' reputation was unfortunately at issue due to circumstances beyond his control. I'm very happy to report that today I received the title personally from Thomas. I'm sure everyone has had a bad experience or two buying a used car, but it is not often enough you meet people like Thomas, or BAB's Valerio and his excellent assistant Annie, who will treat you fairly regardless the price of the car or the circumstances surrounding the deal, even if things are not their fault. In the future, I'd be happy to work with Thomas and BAB again. read more
