Anyone heard of Adam's Car Store in Birmingham, Al??

I have contacted them to buy this car, but I can not find them in BBB, seems to good to be true:

http://adamscarstore.com/index.php/contact-us

http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/dd...ct=u#305575556

Thoughts? Bingmaps and googlemaps show an empty building.

Thanks!

The same problem!!!!!

Hi, I got the same problem. I'm from California and found this X6 http://adamscarstore.com/index.php/p...w-x6-xdrive35i
Price is 44000$!!!!!!!! So I called them and some guy his name is Erik sent me a Contract and buyers order. So What seems dangerous:
1. He found somebody who will deliver me a car to Cali for 800$ just and he fount it just for 5 min!!!! And here is a distance 2000 ml.
2. They are giving in the contract 7 day money back after you will receive a car in case of some problems with a car!!!! I'm 4 years in car business, none will give this.
3. They didn't ask my dealer license copy before making a contract just take the info that i've send them in email.
4. They also send me invoice and the wire info, interesting thing: name of the Account is - MOTORS CENTER INC.
5. I found this http://steinautos.com/index.php/preowned-inventory , this is totally different company and it's in Utah, but the inventory is the same.
6. All the inventory, as the Carfax is telling us at their website, are under the dealer sale at the Baton Rouge,LA

So what do you think??????????

And one more.

I called to the Company in Utah and the number is no longer in Service!

And by the way those M3 is in California.
So I think it's some kind of a new scam, but very new.

I agree, it must be a scam. I also found SteinAuto. Heck, even the car picture backgrounds show different trees buildings between cars.

The worst part is, the pricing is only slightly better (say $5K cheaper), so you want to believe it's not a complete scam but a good deal.

Hi again. So, I asked this guy to send me a copy of the title and copy of their dealer license to my email. They disappeared!))) No calls at all and no replies!
By the way I called again in the morning to Stein Autos, and what do you think?))) They answered as Adams Car store and sales persons name was Mark, but when I asked him that I'm calling to Stein Autos in Utah he was done))))))))) 30 seconds he was stuttering!!!!! Than he told me that they have a branch in Utah but the cars are in Alabama, are believe in that?)))) Me not. If you wanna try, be very attentive and go personally to Alabama but not alone!

I'm in Birmingham and decided to drive by this place to check it out.

There is nothing there. I'd say it looks to be a scam.

Adam's Car Store is Part of a Fraud Ring

Adam's Car Store, purportedly out of Birmingham, AL is a non-existant "dealer" and part of a large fraud ring committing online car scams throughout the United States. A visit to http://www.onlinecarscams.com/forums will show you the various names being used by this fraud ring.

http://www.adamscarstore.com uses the same website design as http://www.steinautos.com and http://www.pauljuniorcars.com and all three are hosted on the same server.

Any of you that have been sent emails by this fraud ring please use this online contact form: http://onlinecarscams.com/contact

They have successfully victimized people via http://www.peteautos.com and http://www.solanmotors.com (now down) and you can read those stories here:
