AngryBMW Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 From what I have seen first hand, the sales people are assholes, and they think that they can price gouge. They have some nice cars, but are asking way to much for most of them. Experiences differ from one to the next, so my advice is to go up their and have a look. If they treat you well and give you a good price, go for it. I just wouldnt be to suprised if you post back on here that you didnt have a good trip. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I have looked at a few cars there, and always had good expieriences. I always dealt with Denny himself though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nixon Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I heard from many people they roll the miles back on the cars, so be careful on the car your picking. If its something where miles is definately a issue on the kind of motor or setup it has, look at it thoroughly before buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion Motorsports1647545491 Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I know several years ago, he ran the business, but let his sons find most of the cars. That seems to be why you always see 300zx's, GT's, Z-28's, 3000GT's RX-7's and etc... Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 one of my buddies looked at a car up there... the salespeople didn't seem to want to give him the time of day... little did they know that he had money in his hand to buy a car. I deffinately will never give them any of my business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan900 Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 My only suggestion is to make sure you take it to a impartial mechanic to check it out. Yes he will do that if you are serious about buying a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVILGTP98 Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I went up there one night with a buddy of mine to check out a 91 TT 300 ZX, walked in to talk to one of the sales guys, told him i had a grand prix and what I owed on it, without lookin at anything hes like naaaa, we cant do it and walked away. My expierence, not to good, they all seemed like ass hats but what do I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I wouldn't go to them. Over priced among other things. graemlins/thumbsdown.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My expierence, not to good, they all seemed like ass hats but what do I know ha ha. Ass hats. I drove over there (from Marysville!) to look at an RX7 and they were complete ass hats. It was in pretty shitty condition, and they were asking 18,000. They wouldn't let me test drive it (claimed it had mechanical problems), so I told them to call me when I could drive it. Well, it must have been way overpriced, cause they called me about 4 months later, telling me that I could drive the car. Of course, I had already owned my car for about 3 months, so I told them to stick it. Ass hats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I tried to drive their SRT-4, they basically told me no way. So I farted on the seat of their TT Supra out front and have never been back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suffocateXfaster1647545505 Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Went once, and NEVER thought about ever going back. graemlins/thumbsdown.gifgraemlins/nonono.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperado Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Bought a car from them YEARS ago. 90 Cav, actually it was the wifes car. Anyway, they hosed her. Ended up basically paying for them to take the tradein after it was all said and done because of the way the paperwork was put together. The people there are asshats, NO ONE from Johnstown deal with them, only people from out of town. I drive past it EVERY day and *** cars don't seem to change much. Consider that he use to have the Chevy dealership in Johnstown and now he's selling used cars. That has to say something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99ta Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Man, I love Denny dotson. My brother bought a car there a few years ago and they were really cool. They let us drive any car we want. We go up usually about once a month and drive several cars. Both the sales guys will sit and talk to us forever. We were there about two hours last time. I guess it helps when my in-laws see Denny almost every weekend at horse shows. I agree some of their cars are over priced but we found its always negotiable, but their customer service has always been very good with me.

BloodRed Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I agree also that there cars are very over priced. I live in Johnstown and drive by there lot at least 2 times a day and the cars really don't change to much there. I know they have had a green eclipse up front for almost a year now. At one time I had found this picture of a civic they had for sale that had a hugh wing on it and to top it off it was installed backwards. The picture was taken on the side of the building were they have there name painted on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTurbo Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 from what i hear that place is pretty shady to begin with, i have a friend that works at a dealership in Johnstown, and he has very reputable knowledge that when ever one of Dotsons cars gets "stolen" it is actually one of his employees (who shall remain nameless) takeing the vehicles,and he runs a private chop shop i didnt annalyze this too much till i heard the same info from another person who has no knowledge of who my friend is,... so the same info coming from two seperate ppl leans me toward believing. plus Denny is kinda prickish anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400 HO Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Yeah.. I drive by there at least 2x's a day. Same shit.. different day. Last year.. they had a nice 01 Chevy S10 4x4 ZR2 with close to 100,000 mile on it. They wanted 18,000 for it!!!!! No thanks Mr. Dodson.
