----Hi guys. I'm close to buying a car from a dealership in Idaho. I have no bad feelings about the transaction at all, but wonder if anybody on the sight knows anything about the place. It's in Twin Falls Idaho and is called "Magic Valley Auto Sales". As I said, so far it's been a very clean deal and the shipping is very decently priced. So please, if you know anything pertinent about them chime in as I want wind up the deal today if everything seems OK!....Bill S

I would proceed with caution. I looked up to 70 El Camino they have listed on their website and it was sold out of Texas for twice as much money. Same pictures

Looks scammy to me as well - on several levels. Note the address for this place is a windowless concrete building and does not match the 'showroom' in the pictures on the website.

This scammer stuff is out of control in our world these days. They’re trying to get people at every aspect you can imagine. Bunch of low life bums!

Glad to help.

I don't know if it would do any good but if you are so inclined you can file a complaint with the FBI on this website:
