SCAM ALERT: It seems that this company may have changed hands. I have heard only good things about Chuck B, the original owner including speaking to locals about him. The latest contact Anthony Rhodes however does seem to be a 'bad actor'. I was considering buying a car from him mainly over the internet. I did speak with Anthony by phone, and negotiated a delivered price with him. I even signed a buying contract with him. Then things began to unravel. Anthony sent along a copy of the title even without me asking. The title showed the car to be in the name of Midtown Motors. I decided to call Missouri DMV to check the title. Turns out the VIN was not in the state's database. The car was shown to be in New York, and the title number was associated with a different car. At this point it was very clear that this was a scam, and that Anthony was hopeful that I would wire the money for the car purchase to him, and he would escape without delivering a car. The Midtown Motors Web site seems to be no longer functional and the associated emails don't work either. Really glad I figured this out before wiring any money. Be careful SCAM ALERT read more
