i'm pretty sure most of the cars at that place have been rebuilt.

i'd do a carfax before you plan on buying a car from them..

I guess that every car on the lot is "clean titled", i would love to carfax all of them though.

i was thinking of buying a cheaper car from them and using it as a track car. maybe a miata or something...not quite sure.

I used to deliver parts to them when i worked at subaru and they were always super sketchy. They didn't like me asking questions or peepin any of the cars. I vote that if you do buy one make sure you do your homework first.

the owner is top speed's brother. i kinda know them personally...

ill tell you this much:
not all cars are rebuilt. most of their cars are from auto auctions. many of which have a lot of owners. some are good some are bad. best thing to do is go look at the cars yourself and do a carfax.

lol. funny. i made my last post without reading the thread. basically ekfreddy just said what i said. just listen to freddy and i. my uncle used to own topspeed(or used to be five star auto) but my uncle recently decided to move out and start his own business a few blocks down (five star auto...so if you want an alarm system or sound system, go to him. he does cheap and good. and has been in the alarm business for over 15-20 years).

so basically, i know of how feng auto works. buy at your own risk. just remember to check the car out first and check carfax.

i bought 3 cars from him in the past 5 years or so. The cars there are mostly pretty rough, Feng auto doesnt wash, take care, or really do anything to them. I purchased a 92 civic dx that was rust free and had a couple of dents in it for 2K. Then I bought a 94 del sol, 80K on the clock and pretty clean for 3K. Also I picked up a 91 civic hatch for 1K and I put that thing through hell and back and its still running.
I was looking at a BMW 318 a couple months back form there and he was asking 2500 and he let me test drive it and didnt tell me anything about the car. I drove it and found out it had a 3rd adn 4th gear grind, the windows wouldnt go down and a few other small things. I get back and tell Sam Feng (the owner) this and he all the sudden bumps the price to 2K. SO he knew it had problems he just was not gonna tell me. I walked away. Also, his english is not to good, but if you have cash in hand it might talk him down. Acutally right now IM kinda looking at that Blue Miata for a fun winter toy...lol

Also, Joey Feng (topspeed) is his brother
