My boyfriend and I went last night with the intent of just looking. He ended up purchasing a Dodge Durango for himself and a Mercury (I forgot the model) for my daughter. This was our first time and he got excited but now understands how it works. Lily and there was a gentleman who appeared to be Middle Eastern who were very helpful. I'm driving the Durango today and will get my daughter's vehicle later on. So far I am pleased with the Durango and once I get my daughter's vehicle I will post another review. read more

Are you still open.....bought a car about maybe going on two years ago ...I need a copy of my warranty for the car or the name of the company ........tried calling you, seems you have changed or different number . please reply read more

These people are absolute crooks. They sold a car with a busted odometer so there is no way of knowing how many miles was actually on the car. We couldn't see that it was broke because they refused to allow a tea drive. took it back the next day after discovering the problem, they refused to fix it and refuse to give another car for the same price. 2 weeks later the engine died. I would never purchase a car from there. There are claims pending with the better business bureau against this dealer! I gave 1 star because I could figure out how to post with out one. read more

My girlfriend and her roommate were looking for some automotive bargains, so I went to the Cermak Auto Auction with them yesterday. Pretty good range of vehicles --everything from late model BMW's, Audis, Lexuses (Lexii?) to more utilitarian decade-old Dodge Neons, Civics, Corollas, etc. You show up and register for the auction around 10:00 a.m., walk around the lot and kick the tires of the vehicles you're interested in, and then the bidding starts at high noon, presided over by a cowboy in a 10 gallon hat and elaborately waxed mustache, who calls out bids in classic rapid-fire auctioneer style. While definitely worth a visit just for the spectacle, you're unlikely to come up with any worthwhile bargains here. Most of these cars haven't been detailed to dealer lot standards, which means that you can see them in the actual condition their owners kept them in. Unfortunately, most of these cars have been rode hard and put away wet. I saw a pristine-looking 25-year-old Porsche 928 which made me (very briefly) consider doing something financially reckless --until I noticed the Kicker box in the trunk, and we all know what that means. Also, the auctioneer starts the bidding on each vehicle thousands of dollars higher than what any sensible person would pay for it, and then drops the price in hundred dollar increments until someone bites. If no one bids by the time the price has dropped to the reserve, it's driven away and the next car is brought out. I saw a few decent higher end cars, including a particularly well kept Audi A6, which could have been had for a couple thousand dollars less than you'd pay at a dealership, but once you factor in the various and sundry fees charged by the auction, you've not saved much money at all --and certainly not enough to justify buying a car which you've had only limited opportunity to inspect, and which you can't return if it turns out to be a lemon. You may find a real deal here on a reliable car every once in a while, but it's certainly the exception to the rule. read more

I would like to say that i had the worst experience when i was at the auction. They have the worst costumer service, very rude employees. I actually bid on a car, that they bought to the floor i wasn't told the miles, i only saw the outside. i asked to see the car through now that i bid on it they told my i could not they didn't tell me the miles until after i signed the contract. FYI wants you sign your life away on their contact your married to it. i found that it had 185,000 + miles on it. I also found out that most the cars there have 150,000 + miles on there cars. Plus any car you bid on you have to pay an addition 1500 dollars on top of that. Also you get the title to the car at least 3 - 4 weeks after date of purchase. read more

WARNING!!!! Don't buy here. They sold me a car with false mileage. They sold me the car saying it had low miles, checked the carfax when I went to trade the car and found out the miles are more than 100,000 more than what the odometer readed . The dealership wouldn't buy this car because of the tampering of the mileage. I spoke to Amir and he told me there was nothing he could do they sell the cars AS IS!!!! They are TRICKSTERS!!!! They turn up the microphone so you can't here what's wrong with the car. Also check there website first you will see that they rise the price a lot when they auction off the car, start at the price they have online then move down. One last tip (DON"T BUY WARRANTY) it only covers a certain amount on each part. THE REST IS ON YOU!!! read more

I live in Denver and was looking for a Honda CRV that is about 10 years old for the AWD for the winter here. Other people seem to have the same idea. As i looked around on line, I noticed that car i wanted, if it was being sold here at all, was about $1,500 or $2,000 cheaper in other parts of the country. I flew out from Denver to get my CRV at Cermak after seeing it online. It was very reasonably priced, even at reserve. They fully disclosed the few cosmetic defects, and let me test drive the car. I was pleased and drove it back to Denver that very day, 1,000 miles, no problems. The good part was next. It was a real pain in the @%% trying to register it for reasons that had nothing to do with Cermak. But on my 4th and (what I thought) final visit to the DMV, the Clerk found a TINY error on the title and kicked it back to me, saying the dealer (Cermak) was responsible. They would need to mail me certified document from the dealer THEY bought it from. Frustrated already, I expected a real hassle in getting Cermak to fix the problem. But when I called the customer service was swift and effective. They apologized and assured me that they would get right on it . Nice lady called me back 15 minutes later, apologized again and said that the other dealer was getting the paperwork together and would get it mailed the next day. Nice lady called the next day to confirm my address and told me she was mailing it immediately. The next day I received a Fed Ex with the paperwork early enough to go back to the DMV and get legal. I did not expect them to overnight it. The next day nice lady called again to confirm receipt and make sure i was happy. Short story long, Cermak exceeded my expectations, and that is rare. Everyone makes errors, and this one was tiny, but potentially a huge hassle for me. Cermak bent over backwards to fix their mistake, and that is huge for me in any business dealing. My one complaint is that I think the fees are about 30% to high... I would definitely fly halfway across the country to buy a car from these guys again:) read more

I visited the auto auction twice on 1/6 and 1/14 to learn how the process worked. On Jan. 14th I took my mechanic with me to check out a car. We inspected several cars before the aution and when the auction started we did not initally bid on the car. We both looked at the car when it came through the bidding lane. At the time we inspected the car twice and bidded the 2nd time around. Both times we inspected the car there were no lighs indicated on the dash that there were any problems. Here's the trick after I paid for the car and return to pick it up, the check engine, abs, check oil lights were on. I complained that the light indicators weren't on when we inspected the car. They offered me another car at the internet price of $4500 to $6,000. BEWARE OF THE TRICKERY. read more

This place is not a good place to purchase a vehicle. First, they sold me a car 1000.00 over Kelly blue book value. Then I wasn't able to drive it for the first two weeks had to get it fix. Got it fix came and got the warranty. The thing then start overheating the warranty covered one part the rest out of pocket. Before it was over I spend as much as the car was worth. And still looking at more repairs. This place is a sham. DONT GET Your CAR FROM THEM! read more

BEWARE I was in need of a car and i did not want to get a car on credit. i decided to go to the auction with my mother and ended up buying two vehicles. all the cars looked great but i found a lot of oil leaks and other issues. finally, i found a few cars that seemed ok.... i was very wrong. i bought a" very nice looking galant and a economic aveo" after being taxed like crazy, i ended up paying 30% more of the auctioned price in fees, and then drove off. before i got home i noticed both cars had problems, one had and oil pressure light that turned on 30 min after driving and the other had major suspension issues. i got them both fixed, but the problems continued. finally a year after both cars were junk. one had a bad timing belt which resulted in engine destruction. the other had a bad transmission. i paid over $7000 for both cars, and i got less than $800 back after junking them both. you be the judge. good luck... you are going to need it if you want to buy a car from the cermak auto. read more

I bought my son his first car from this place. I encouraged my son to look into the prices of the cars and the condition online at their website first so that he would know what cars to pay attention to once we got to the auction. We didn't purchase anything the first time we went because my son was a little nervous and didn't know what to expect. We went a second time a week later. It was a smart move because for us to wait because we didn't know what to expect the first time we went to an auction. We were ready and felt extremely comfortable the second time around and he loves his car. I am impressed at how well he takes care of it and how the whole transaction happened. read more

Do NOT for any reason go to this auction and spend a dime. I am truly giving you a honest warning. I went to the auction today at 11 and was able to look at the inventory. Luckily for me, I was able to look at the inventory online and print out credit reports for all the cars prior to viewing and paying for the cars. I also printed out each "buy it now price" listed on their website. Long story short, the buy it now prices were lower than the reserve price. So when the auction began, they started off at a high amount and started dropping the price at 100 increments until someone bids or until they get to the absolute lowest they will sell the car for (reserve price). These reserve prices were WAY above what anyone should pay for a car without being able to test drive and truly inspect the car first. Honestly, you are better off going to a yard or company dealership where you will be able to test drive and inspect the cars (with the engine running) for more than the 60sec this place gives you. Not to mention, most of the milage reported on these cars were lower that the Carfax report I used. Lastly, most of these cars had a humming engine or fluid leaking. Just don't waste your time. You WILL NOT FIND DEALS. I am assuming the people leaving positive comments are false and actually made by the company themselves. read more
