I got a good car from Philadelphia Public auto action. I dont like that they dont let you start the car to see whats wrong are the milage on the car. The cashier could be a little nicer. Engine lights on hope its not a big issue.

The worst please to buy a car. I wish I could give a negative star.Most of the people I had encounter with were very arrogant. They dont give detailed instruction on what to expect on the day of your car pick up.They derive joy in frustrating their customers.If you buy a car worth of 3,500, by the time you are through, you will be spending upto 5,000.The most disheartening part of it is that youre not sure of the car.I bought a car with a bad alternator from them. I have put in more than the money I bought it for. I wish they can enlist the problem with their car.Please dont be a victim if youre looking for a car to drive immediately. This place favors mechanic because they can easily spot out fault on the cars.

I have Purchased 3 vehicles from this Auction. An 525i, an x3, and an Audi A4. All three vehicles have been an amazing buy. I come from new york so its a 2 hour drive back. I can honestly say the cars preformed wonderfully and gave me no trouble. Staff is amazing. Everyone is extremely nice. Will be back to purchase another vehicle. Very happy i was able to do business with them And will continue to do business with them.

Worst place on earth to by a vehicle, bought a truck 10 months ago,had to do registration, tags and insurance through them,have the receipts for all payments to insurance and got pulled over today for the tag not going to that vehicle, it goes to a station wagon the vehicle was never registered and the insurance was not paid even though I paid it. Upon being pulled over truck was told due to the negligence of the Philadelphia auto auctionCAN WE SAY GRIMY.And Believe Me Its Not Over

I went here this past weekend and it was a horrible experience. They would not tell me the VIN # or mileage on the car (which isn’t legal) that I was interested by in, I was told that I had to put down a non refundable deposit just to get that information. You have to go with cash on hand if you expect to get anything. There’s a beast of bouncer who guards the door where you’d be making purchase transaction and he is very rude and disrespectful, he tried to intimidate me on several occasions during my inquiry and he tried to deny me service because I asked to test the car before purchase. Everyone who I asked legit questions to in regards to purchase either replied that they didn’t know, or just shrugged me off. They have an ATM but it doesn’t work so they’ll point in the direction of outside ATM’s which makes absolutely no sense. I wouldn’t go back to attempt to purchase a vehicle, I’m glad I didn’t as I’m reading all these horrible experiences that many face. I understand that their policy is β€œas is” however purchaser should have a say if they choose to purchase a car with potential issues and be scammed into buying a lemon. They’re running a get rich quick scheme. Avoid at all cost if you can!

Terrible way to cars. Information about cars withheld until you put down a deposit! Why the hell would you put a deposit in advance without mileage information, any accidents on the car etc.

Auctions are for cars that reputable dealers refuse to sell in thier lot. They allow you to look but not test drive for a reason. Don’t waste your money it’s a high percentage chance that something gonna be wrong with the car. Bought a car from this place and didn’t even make it a block away and it cut off.

Review β„–11

I want to give them zero stars. Paid over $3000 for a car I paid $1900. This is not including tags or insurance or anything. Just the car and the 28% sales tax! Not only do you not get your car the same day, they also lie about everything. I bought a car from them and paid everything and still couldn’t get my car for 3 weeks and when you try to talk to someone about it, the lady on the phone gets an attitude and hangs up on you. When I finally do pick the car up, they say it’s only 120k miles on it when it was actually 197k miles on it. Now I understand when buying used cars, something will be wrong with it but the entire power steering assembly is all messed up! They don’t mention anything about it. Just avoid going to them at all costs! The hidden fees are ridiculous, there’s no refunds, and they are liars.

Do not go there if youre looking for a ligit and straightforward business.-NOT A SAFE PLACE TO DO BUSINESS AT.when you come to pay.you have to wait outside (west Philly) with cash-$1000+ in fees-They dont disclose the mileage nor the condition of cars-You cant test drive anything.cant even look at some of the cars-One answer fits any questions (WE DONT KNOW)-Awful customer service.the owner is always in a hurry.

Do Not Purchase a car at this auction. The people are rude. Their fees are ridiculous and they dont give you receipts for any transactions. They are underhanded and treat you as if theyre doing you a favor. When you ask questions they get mad at you and never answer your question directly. Save the hassle and stress. Go to an auction that is legit and straightforward.

This place is open Saturdays, the auction start around 12 PM .You have to be early because they let in a minimum of people because the pandemic .You can find excellent prices .In my experience you have to know about the cars cause they sell the car and literally you have fix the car, it can be something expensive or not But thats on your responsibility.You don’t need a dealer License for buy a car .You can find a great deals .

Lots of hidden fees. Was told to pick car up on Friday because of tags and was charged storage fees when i was told I wouldnt be. The battery was shot and it was leaking oil. No engine coolant car ran hot an quit 2 block away from the auction house. Save your money paid almost $3000 for a car they sold me for 1500.

So far I have been to this auction on at least 5-6 different occasions and can honestly say Ive never experienced any type of inconvenience and was always provided help whenever needed. The selections that are out available each time are always fair and price is most of the time even better. I love coming here anytime Im in need of a vehicle and with friends or famil that ask for my recommendation as well. You cant regret going there.

I was here a few days ago looking for a car for my brother who was also with me and came across a plenty of nice options that were in his budget but we decided to wait and come back on the next date they were open and he walked with a newer and better vehicle that was in the same price range. Id say if youre patient enough youll never be dissatisfied looking for a car here.

This place is absolutely unbelievable, a buddy of mine told me about the auction back in 2009 so we drove down together ended up getting a steal on a impala. They had it detailed and registered for me on the spot. Ive purchased 4 cars from this place and my buddy probably a half dozen. The drive from Maryland has been more then worth it. Just wanted to give a shout out, Great Business!!

Review β„–31

For God sake do not go here, this place is a well organized scam !!Ask yourself why do you think the cars will come to this auction place(Auction guys do not own any of the car) ?Possible Reasons:1. No private buyer because of the condition of the car2. Private dealer wont be able to seller it either3. Car is at the end of life.( all cars were Junk inside, exterior were appealing)I went yesterday (my first auction). Wednesday 6pm the doors open for viewing the cars, I was excited and checked almost every car, few cars were locked(little better looking ones). this was the warning coz inside it was real hidden reality of the cars engine and interior and odometer. I was trapped there with the fine exteriors and during the auction at 7pm, I raised my hand got trapped there and paid $800 which they wont pay back as everyone entering the auction signed the contract. Called cops but they could not do much, went to court they asked me to sue them and stuff which I do not have time to do.The reception guys openly said WE NEED YOUR MONEY THATS IT, they wont listen anything but money, PURE PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS SCAM!90% cars have 100k + milesPretty soon they will be closed with their inhuman behavior, felt like dealing with mafias or something.Do your due diligence and try to AVOID this place.I could not get my money back but I hope I can save others hard earned money !

Ive bought two reliable cars from this auction for my family since moving to Philadelphia. I was a tad sceptical of the auction process the first time around but the auctioneer was very professional and explained the process. I was able to walk the lot and explore possible choices with my son Ronny & he seemed to enjoy the experience as well. Both cars have been great to us

I only buy our cars from auctions like these. There were a lot of people at this auction with a lot of great cars. I ended up getting a great deal here and the car has been reliable so far. Wanted to leave a review because I appreciate how well I was cared by the staff at this auction and the quality of the vehicle I won. Ive recommended PPA to my family and friends and will definitely be purchasing from them again for my daughter who gets her license in October !

Wow what an experience. I never knew buying car would be so easy. I spent days looking online for an Honda Accord with decent miles and affordable price. This auction had at least 8 or 9 different Honda Accords that all seemed pretty solid mechanically and physically. I purchased a 98 grey Honda Accord for $1700, which was 300-400 under the Kelly Blue Book value. I am incredibly happy customer and for my sons 17th birthday we will be returning !!!!

Tons of options, prices vary from $800-$8000. I’ve purchased over 10 cars in my entire life and I wish I knew this place existed. Quality cars priced at extremely reasonable prices. I even had the convenience of doing my plate and paper work there. Overall I’m completely satisfied.

I live 2.5 hours away and I was interested in one of there suvs called and called no answer finally I talked to someone who tells me if I want information like mileage I have to come to the auction house you must be kidding thats insane . Also I requested information on several suvs asked to be contacted either by phone or email -I got nothing . This place is run like a dog house Ive wasted enough time -they wont see a dime of my money . Heres a suggestion seeing that you cant get in a locked auto put the information like the mileage online . Also if you buy a auto and cant transport it that day they charge you 40.00 per day ? Ive gone to auctions and came back 3 days later to pick up and it was free.

Review β„–46

READ ALL REVIEWS FOR THIS PLACE BECAUSE THE OWNER HAS HIS FRIENDS WRITING THEM. Do not purchase ANYTHING from here. Non refundable deposit of 800.00 and also Extra fees as high as 24% based on the price of the vehicle, the City tax of 8%. Plus the auction fee. The 8% fee is not mentioned in the paperwork, its only mentoned when you arrive. You can only pick up your car on certain days even if you pay in full at the auction. You have to call a number to obtain a confirmation number to pick up your vehicle however when you call the number they are rude, most of the time youll get a busy signal or they will answer and then disconnect the call. I arrived at 10 am and was told that I needed to fax my proof of insurance, I explained to them that I had my insurance documents downloaded in my smart phone. They turned me away. I faxed the documents and every time I called to verify the times when I could actually get through they kept telling me they didnt receive. I personally faxed 18 times and the insurance carrier faxed 2 times for a whopping total of 20 tines just to be told they finally received the insurance documents. I arrived back at the Auction for pickup and was advised they only received 2 cover oages. Ages told me they had the paperwork but when I arrive Im told something different by a rude arrogant man whom was speaking to me as if I was some uneducated individual. Then he instructed me to email the insurance document. 5 hours later from waiting in the cold because they dont allow you inside until they need to process your car despite having plenty of chairs. During this time, Ive heard them telling customers who paid their hard earned money lies because they wanted to keep the car to incur storage fees. They actually told one man that the state rejected his insurance. Ive never heard of such. They told me they didnt have my insurance information. This place will not provide you with a bill of sale, they tell you that they cannot give you that yet they have it, so youll have to take a picture with your ohone. They also give you blank forms to sign and when you explain to them that you cannot sign a blank document they get mad and try to keep your security deposit without giving you your car. They try to make it appear that youre creating a problem when legally you should be able to obrain a copy of any document that you sign. I left there feeling depleted and very disrespected, they dont respect you at this Auction. On auctioning night yes but when its time to pick up your car they talk to you like youre beneath them. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. I wish I knew yesterday what I knew today and I would not have given them a dime, I would not have purchase anything. Speaking of my purchase my vehicle made it 5 blocks to my house and is dead. This purchase cost me close to 5000. My money was wasted as the vehicle was a lemon. Very unethical, there is something shady about them. Oh and they only deal in cash. I took my car to the dealer and it was discovered that parts were removed under the hood to hide serious problems. Car is a LEMON. 5000 wasted but not in Vain. AG office made aware and legal action in the worksTHEY ARE A SCAM DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. PLEASE DONT.

Please please please do not got there for Gods sake. People there are very unprofessional and rude very very bad customer service the guys lies and the lady has an attidude. Dont believe what you hear on their car, they would make their car look good when in reality all they cars are crazy junks . The owner tell me all his cars are under 100k miles when in reality they have cars that are 300k miles. I bought a car for $5000 on car that i deeply regret and the car has issues for over $3000. We had to wait 2 days to pick up the car...Oh there are so much to say about this crazy aution. I wish i could give them 0 star, but PLEASE GUYS TRUST THE REVIEWS! DO NOT GO THERE AND WASTE YOUR MONEY THAT YOU WORK HARD FOR. Go a place that you can actually check and test drive your car before buying.

This place is a scam. I didn’t buy a car, but if I did, I would have literally be buying the vehicle with my eyes closed. Some of the cars are locked, you can’t start them, you don’t know how many miles the vehicle have, the fees are out of control, and the cars are all over priced! I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. STAY AWAY! If I could have given it no stars I would have.

You couldnt pay me to come back to this place, not for all the tea in China! I was trying to see if they would lower their bids they only lower them but so much. If they think a car should no go lower than $1,000 or so they will stop the bidding there. They had 2 of their guys try to force me into buying a crappy car and I know the basics of car so I would not do so. At the end of it all they just shut down the auction and I left out. I had a much better experience at CAPITAL AUTO AUCTION!

A terrible place to get a car from, unprofessional staff, no information given about the cars, my experience with this place was regretful. I bought a 2006 BMW 5 series 525Xi on 01/05/18 I could barely get home with the car, the battery was stone dead, a lot of problems with the engine, I towed the vehicle for service at the BMW center at mainline and I was told the vehicle is beyond repairs, my money was wasted in vain.

They treat their cars horribly burning out on the auction floor and bottoming them out on the way out. Be careful when buying a car from this place. KBB your purchase first, so you dont get swindled by this place.

This week on wednesday we bought an 09 gmc acadia. They didnt let us test drive the car to see how it ran, didnt tell us the mileage, this was not a good sign at all.The next day when we went to pick it up we barely made it out of the parking lot. The trasnmission started slipping almost immediately i had to push the car in the middle of traffic. I had no idea just how horrible the condition was of the vehicle. They didnt even tell us how many miles the vehicle had when we bought it. Now the car is in a trasnmission auto shop and we are waiting for it to be fixed. I feel we have been lied to and scam and definitely will never buy a vehicle from this place ever again. If i could give a -5 stars to this place i would. I would recommend you stay away from this place.
