Default Daytona Automotive - Edmonton

Has anybody heard of Daytona Automotive before? They have been around in Edmonton for 36 years apparently.

Any comments or information on them is appreciated. I haven't heard of them before so I just wanted to see what their reputation is and whether anyone has had good/bad experiences with them.

I am hoping to head up to Edmonton soon to check out a few cars from them. I am just trying to do some research hoping to avoid GoFC-type operation haha.

Thanks in advance,

a few years back my friend took a look at an sti there. Said it was kinda shady, car wasn't as good as pictured or described. Overall I remember him saying he was pretty much dissatisfied with wat they had. I thnk he said he had a poor salesman too, but that was a few years ago, could be better now?

Hmm, thanks for the input. That is the sort of stuff I'm looking for. Just want to see how legit they are.

Heh, my friend works there as a tech. The owner/manager buys a lot of late model, higher end European cars at auction and sells them on again - either to end users or to other dealers, both factory dealers and second hand car dealers. Basically a big car buy/sell business.

I know the owner. I work two blocks from there. Not a bad place, in the past it was a Daewoo dealership
